r/Tyranids

Day 238 of teaching myself NMM haha. Submitting this piece for a insta comp, hope you like it.

I'll start - 1 big ick I've had since I started was the ripper swarms. I have a bunch of termagants and I love playing a horde army with the Tervigon and the Unending Swarm strategem. However, I therefore have a ton of ripper swarms. At the moment, I can put them into strategic reserves and bring them out on the off chance one of the secondaries where you can put them in the corner or on a quadrant comes up, or to be "annoying" and engage a unit that you wouldn't like to shoot. However, I would like them to either be super cheap (given that they seem to be armed with paperclips and not teeth in melee and they literally can't do anything from range), or for them to get a revamp and get OC or something else which just makes them a little more useful.

What do you think?

But in all seriousness what’s your favourite model in your range because there’s so many bangers.

Im getting ready for the Maryland Open. These are flourishes for the display board. Still need to make the board... One thing at a time.

I get that genestealers can sneak aboard ships and flying tyranids can just fly straight off the ship before any tyrannocytes land, but how do the tyranids manage to deliver something like a trygon or Von ryan leaper pack on the planet without anyone noticing? If they do get noticed, what's even the point of them?

Does this scale seems about right for The Red Terror? Seeing that the original model was about the size of a Ravener, i dont think the new one is getting up to Trygon size, so i think this midway point to be kinda good, the base is huge tho

As a long time tyranid lurker I finally dropped some cold hard cash at my local store. Never painting one of these guys to this standard again! CC welcome, where can I improve? Will my back and eyes ever be the same again?

Normaly Im Not Playing overly competetive and I want to have This Tyranid feeling but the Army should be playable but im Not sure of some Units

I have the old combat patrol and A friend said they complemented each other well.

(In the Picture should be 50 termagants)

After a lengthy break due to a house move, I've finally managed to get back into the painting routine 😊

The pictures are the latest models I can check off the list, including:

● fully repainted Hive Tyrant (though the bonesword could do with a touch more work)

● Psychophage, Screamer Killer and Leapers from a Leviathan half

● a Lictor i treated myself to 😁

I've also included some WIPs at the end; the 'thropes and a Casino 'fex I've been dying to get started on. They've only had a basecoat with the airbrush so far. Fingers crossed I can complete these and more over the next couple of weeks.

tyrarium? termarium?
