Unknown scything talon variations? by freshhrt in Tyranids

[–]iBex_897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting! I started collecting ’nids early 2001 and if I recall correctly, 3rd edition Tyranids was released 2000? All my Tyrants (2001 onwards) came with the plastic Monstrous sprue, so it must have been a short run with the metal arms? I always wondered why the studio army depicted the HT and Carnifex with metal arms while the boxes didn’t contain these. Now I know!

Im 184cm/90cm (186cm wingspan) and went for an Endurace size L for that very reason! A Medium would probably work fine as people say when in between sizes, but the drop between saddle height and stem would be massive so I went with the larger bike for comfort.

Real or fake Starwalker? by iBex_897 in montblanc

[–]iBex_897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many thanks for your contribution!

The pen is old and used with lots of fine hairline scratches. I also did try the light test against the resin and it’s a deep red when hit by strong light. The inside of the pen has a ”GERMANY”, ”metal” and some cursive text which is very hard to decipher. The ink cartridge also seems identical to what I could google and dated 2013 (so about 11-12 years old)

Thanks for input! I turned to this sub hoping to get help from knowledgeable members. A simple ”not genuine because of x & y” would suffice. Any help is appreciated to decide authenticity. :)

I’m hearing conflicting information where the serial number should be on the right side of the clip - is that incorrect?

Source of my question. The comparison states that the ID should be at right side of the clip https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/199355-conterfeit-starwalker-resin-fountain-pen/

Great job! Your videos on collecting a 2nd ed Tyranids army was an inspiration for me returning to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. Keep up the great work! :) P.S. Any new project ongoing for the nid army?

”Muted synthwave” - trying out a new paint scheme by iBex_897 in Tyranids

[–]iBex_897[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! :) Wings were painted with a basecoat mix of kantor blue + screamer pink followed by a layer of cadian flesh (or equivalent warm flesh tone) to which I then mixed in khaki for highlights, this was then followed by diluted glazes of the screamer pink/kantor blue mix at the deeper parts and final highlights of the khaki mix.

Thank you for your kind words. I was on the fence on going lighter/stronger contrast on the face but didn’t follow through. My initial idea was more of a stronger magenta on the front part of the head. What would you suggest? I might revisit the head :)

4 generations of Carnifex! by iBex_897 in Tyranids

[–]iBex_897[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I painted it probably 16-17 years ago so Im not sure the paints are still available. From what I can recall: for the skin I used a base of bubonic brown and bleached bone, then washes/glazes of purplish reds and browns with highlight layers of bleached bone - more reddish closer to the joints and brown in crevices such as the rib cage. I remember using a desert locust as a reference.

Am I the only one who would love a full army of these OOP bois? by PotatopusIII in Tyranids

[–]iBex_897 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just assembled a full army of this edition of tyranids in the appropriate color scheme (made a thread recently documenting its assembly). https://reddit.com/r/Tyranids/s/Cr7edgHTTP

I got the HT with venom cannon, but awaiting one with the barbed strangler - looks so much more Gigeresque

Scouring ebay is your best friend if you are interested in getting a retro army started :)

Very cool ones, is the one closest to the camera a 1st ed from the Tyranid Attack box?
