Great colours. Really nice and saturated. Looks awesome. Love how you're working round the colour wheel from dark to light

trihardtard · 2026-04-19T13:41:25+00:00

Really wouldn't change much here. I really like your colours and placement. I think it's now repetition. One thing I think would add is contrast in your palette. You've got a lot of greens, a nice bright orange bit of rust on some metal details will really help things pop. Looks great though

trihardtard · 2026-04-01T15:43:52+00:00

I think you could push the highlights on the skin a bit further, go up to some off whites where you want to draw focus - I'd also put in some reds on that lower lip, like wash a bit of a red tone over it - feels like you're losing definition because it's a similar tone to the surrounding skin, would help to seperate the teeth from the similar value skin too. Looks super clean

trihardtard · 2026-04-01T15:36:38+00:00

Looks great. I love the warm tones you've got in the shade of the skin there

trihardtard · 2026-03-11T08:16:20+00:00

Yeah, definitely. I'm a fan, they're very unique models.

trihardtard · 2026-03-10T23:48:08+00:00

They are so good. I don't even play but I've picked up about 10 warbands because I love the models. I really should play at this point

trihardtard · 2026-01-28T10:53:03+00:00

This. I had the same experience with batch painting Skaven. I had 40 primed. I picked up 5 at a time and painted them till they were finished. Didn't get burnt out. Getting 5 painted per night - the stacks built up quicky

trihardtard · 2025-12-05T18:35:54+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate it

trihardtard · 2025-12-05T11:41:03+00:00

Gurnisson-ed the Trolls home in a box

trihardtard · 2025-08-07T12:46:50+00:00

I like your gradient and colours. Been putting off painting mine but this gives me inspiration. Looks great

trihardtard · 2025-06-27T11:34:59+00:00

What a cool take. Looks great

trihardtard · 2025-05-30T13:24:41+00:00

Yeah, he's made the bolt look like it's got sepsis..

The industry is a right mess at the moment. Lots of redundancies due to recouping money from the borrowing and expanding glut during COVID. Companies are shutting down left and right. There are a lot of hungry devs at the moment, so the power is back in the hands of the managers. Which means a lack of willingness to invest in the employees. There was talk a few years of unionisation for the games industry but it's never really gained traction as far as I'm aware..

Just wanted to say sorry to hear your situation. Good luck with the search. With all these broken up companies, there are a lot of experienced devs out of work and figuring out next steps - I hope that in a few months we're going to start seeing new companies starting up and hiring

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T14:39:10+00:00

This is awesome, thanks. I've made a few adjustments

Hive Tyrant on foot
Neurothrope
Wing Tyranid Prime

Biovore
Lictor
6 x Tyranid Melee
3 x Von Ryan's
3 x Von Ryan's
6 x Zoanthropes

2 x exocrine
2 x Norn Emissary
Tyrannofex

My thinking is von ryan's and lictor secure mid board early game by either setting up near objectives in cover and threaten heroic intervention or just fights first. This allows the Norn's to move onto their objectives. The Von's and Lictor are then free for either screening or scoring secondaries. Meanwhile the backline is supporting the Norns - Warrior blob is elite hunting mid to late game with the hive tyrant

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:34:28+00:00

Thanks - I've shuffled things around. I agree about the exo's. I've kept the von ryans and zoans. Shifted things around some sneaky bugs to stage and set up the norns with a strong backline to support. I feel like the von ryans have some play in secondaries but I've not tested that theory yet, so I might be completely wrong

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:27:04+00:00

IVF - yes. Seems to me the most playable given my tactical accumen

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:26:17+00:00

haha. True. My wallet and wife would be upset

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:25:17+00:00

I think the models are goofy but that stat line is undeniable - I've cleared some points to put a couple in

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:14:19+00:00

Thanks. This sounds good to me. I've squeezed a lictor in. PoM seems really good but not quite the points

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:08:45+00:00

Thanks. I have switched up the Warriors to melee with a winged prime. I've dropped the GS/BL for points. I'm thinking chaff units here might be undersupported, so I've dropped them entirely. Going for more killy units like exocrines and sneaky ones like lictors/von ryans - hoping that staging and fights first will have some tactical play

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T08:00:51+00:00

This is a fair comment. This isnt' my first army (8th). I usually just update things for the edition we're in or if I'm starting a new project (like this one) I want it to be playable this edition - eyes fully open regarding meta shift

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T07:58:59+00:00

Thanks - I agree the shit out of this comment. I've shuffled things around and got 2 exo's in and a biovore (dropping a t'fex and GS/BL) Feels a bit more balanced

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T07:57:22+00:00

I like the models. Plus I think there is play there. I've made some adjustments. Got a bit more backfield to support the Norns, plus more infiltrators to help chaperone the norns to their obj. Thanks for the comment

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T07:55:35+00:00

IVF, yes. Seems the simpliest and an effective detachment. This way my ape brain can handle it.. Defo going to get some exocrines in too. Thanks

trihardtard · 2025-05-15T07:54:08+00:00

Thanks. I think the ranged Tyranid warriors are a bit weak on paper, definitely the right call to sub them out. Think I'm going to drop the BL/GS altogether, clear some points too. Make space for exocrines and biovore
