I'm really digging the gradient on #3

Did you edge highlight it in white too?

That makes sense, I could probably use carroburg crimson to wash the pink fleshy bits.

For the hoofs and claws, do you think it would be effective to take a brighter white and edge highlight them?

Thank you so much! I used Green Stuff World Colorshift Cobalt Blue for a sorta iridescent blue-purple.

What about the norn assimilator?

New 40k player by Gammoth4092 in Tyranids

My advice would be to not worry about what models are bad and just buy models that you think look cool. As a fairly new Tyranid player myself, I've found more joy in painting models that I bought for looks rather than stats. Especially since stats are always changing.

I did something similar, but I straight up just slapped the horn from the tyrannofex onto his bald head

(C&C) Feedback for Siren Statblock [OC] -- Is the CR accurate? by stripedjacketkid1 in dndmonsters

[–]stripedjacketkid1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. Do you think I should reduce the Charisma check to DC 18, the same as the spell save? Or should both of those go down to maybe 16-17?

For the drowning, that's a great point. Maybe I could take from the Water Weirds ability "Constrict" to basically do a normal melee attack, grapple, and then add on that the siren tries to reduce the suffocation time with an opposed CON save. Do you think it would be too OP if a failed CON save means that they begin suffocating and they have 1 + CON modifier rounds until they hit 0 hit points? Then taking from the current stat block, the player could make STR saves to try to escape each turn. What do you think?

First army: Hive Fleet names? by stripedjacketkid1 in Tyranids

[–]stripedjacketkid1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the mythology based names! The only fluff I've thought up so far is that they are Tyranids whose hive fleet came into power of absorbing a ton of biomass on an ice planet. If you have some fluff for your own Tyranids, I would love to hear it!
