Every now and then we get stuck in the mud. And that's kinda what happened to me for the past few days. So to alleviate that, I took a looksee around at what other quick little project I could up and get done. And that lead me to the Nid Warriors.
I haven't played much Nids since 5th. Actually only 2 or 3 games since the new codex was released. But leading up to the release I got my hands on some Warrior sprues.
Now my biggest problem with Tyranids is that just about everyone of them look the same. BORING! I like each model to have some individuality, frankly if it's possible I'd like to have every model worth being called a centerpiece, and the majority of Nids just can't do that with standard static poses.
So here's a couple that don't fit that standard template. Err, well this first one does pretty much fit that standard static template. I was able to alter his tail slightly, which looks interesting in real life, but the photos of it look, well as if it was less a tail and more a...
Anyway moving on. So this bad boy on the side, well let me just say no the picture is not inverted, Houston we have a Lefty. Not a hard conversion, but not perfect either. The Deathspitter came from a Carnifex, but this particular piece I didn't get pristine, you can notice an area of the cabling which is broken, almost looks as though it was clipped. Also since it doesn't line up perfectly I had to use some Plasticard for filler, which just like the cable will look better once I greenstuff.
And Now for this months showpiece (not like I do a monthly showpiece) the Leaper.Yea I know that Warriors don't have the Leaping Biomorph anymore, But I liked it. I thought that it gave a model a more dynamic look to it, and yeah the fast charge was a nice upgrade so Warriors could keep up with Hormagaunts. Oh wait they don't have that fast charge anymore.
Anyway that's today's post. And I'm back to the tanks after this, I swear.
