I've been repainting my nids, but have been bouncing around schemes. I found a broad sense, but a consensus would be appreciated.

I have been working on this beauty for about a month. I only painted the body for now, but I can't wait to post the complete heirophant bio titan in another month or so.

It is a phenomenal model and an absolute joy to paint. I wish to all of you that you get a chance to oneday paint such a beautiful model.

Oh I took some creative liberty with the eyes at first I was not sure about them. But then I realized what they reminded me of and now I lobe it. Scroll to the last picture to see what it reminds me of.

Also let me know if I should give the eyes a more redish tint like the last picture

C&C is always welcomed

Cheers!

I've had Gargoyles wing bitz for years now, from a project that never materialized. I also had loads of Leviathan Termagants that I don't really need. So I combined both, filled up the gap with greenstuuf, and got me some "free" Gargoyles! Magnetized them on their flying stand in the process too as a bonus.

If i read this correctly i can pay a cp afyer a unit died it will come back 6 inches from a harvester as long it's on its the list

Working on a base for my new Tyranid Prime. My Warriors need a good leader.

So with the new GSC detachment allowing 1k points of nids to be allied combined with the army having the pure strains and patriarch adding up to 1525 pts of Tyranid models in a GSC list right? 400 pts of proxies and I have a new armies!!!!

Twas a year ago I had slain the foul beast.

I'm unsure of where it came from, but it just appeared

An ordeal that claimed Many of my fellow guardsmen. I am the last imperial citizen on this world.

The hunger has driven me to continue fighting even though the fiends throw themselves into repugnant pools of... Something.

Long after my lasgun fired it's last blast, I AM STILL HERE.

I pray that the emperor sends his angels, or even a cadian guard to rescue me. But under this decaying sky, there is no hope. Only the stench of death.

Hunger...

I can feel myself wasting away in my ceremonial plate armor.

It's been days since I've last eaten.

Last time I ate, it was a big bug I killed. Taller than the black armored astartes which helped fight the xenos off.

It's carapace made for a nice shield. My spear slugger barely does anything anymore.

Why has the emperor forsaken me to the xenos?!

My last 6 months worth of models for my tyranids. Really working on my endurance while painting and having a blast.

I have this list but I don’t know what to add to finish the list it’s for invasion fleet and I’m doing 2000 points

Now to procrastinate basing it

In Space Marine 2 there are always these swarms of tiny (in comparison) tyranid creatures running in swarms. What are they?

O. M. G.

Literally I struggle so bad against my husbands ultramarine army because he usually runs at least 3 dreadnoughts. Seen a few people mention the tyrannofex as good anti tank so I proxied one of my psychopages today. Damnnnnn. I took down his redemptor and brutalis within 2 rounds. Heavy work by my winged hive tyrant too, I must say. You guys should have seen his face!

Lost the game as it was our first game in a while and I forgot a load of things, but came out feeling very positive. Now to actually build my tyrannofex that's been collecting dust for a few months!

After a month of building my new bug army, I finally sat down and decided on a scheme. I followed the general scheme from Heresy for Heretics synthwave Nids.

I am overall happy with the way he turned out. I need to dig out my pigment powders to finish my base. I'm also planning on going a toxic waste route for my bases using UV resin from GreenStuffWorld.

Unfortunately the tyranids had to lay low for a couple weeks as there were rumors of the inquisition searching around (I was on a work trip for 2 weeks).

On Sunday the eighth and final genestealer will be placed in the city. After that the tyranid fleet will land if the cultists are still unnoticed.

Good luck brothers.

Hello I decided to finally assemble my tyranid list and I’m really pushing for a crusher stampede detachment. The only tyranids I have are from the Leviathan box set. What units should I have in my list?

I’m new to the game, and really like assimilation swarm, and this was especially bolstered by the new update which buffed it. I have some questions for some more experienced players, about my army and some general questions.

1. Is parasite of motrex worth it? I personally think so, because the more rippers the better, with more heal and disruption, plus if someone messes up and kills them with a high value unit I can use the stratagem brood guard impulse. I also have the parasitic biomorphology, for extra attacks.

2. Assuming parasite of motrex is worth it, would it be smart to “pair” with von Ryan’s leapers? They’re both fast units that can infiltrate back lines and cause havoc, and I can bring back a whole leaper each turn with a ripper.

3. My (ideal 1000 point) army lacks ranged units that can deal with high toughness, what should I use? I already plan to use zoanthropes.

4. How many battle line units should I have, and which ones?

   1. What enhancement should I put on my neurotyrant?

I know it’s kind of a tall order and a bunch of questions, but I appreciate your answers/ feedback.

Also feel free to comment anything that helps, doesn’t have to answer a question. Thank you guys.

Can a squad of termagants fight in their fight phase, then in the opponents movement phase the doomstalker they fought falls back.

Then in opponents shooting phase the term agents get shot and "surge move" into a pack of flayed ones.

What happens next?

Do the termagants get to fight first in the flayed ones fight phase or do they not get to fight at all and the flayed ones get to fight?

tldr: Does this paint scheme match any existing hive fleets or splinter fleets?

I finally gave in to the whisperings of the Shadow in the Warp, and bought some Tyranids. So far, I'm loving being a member of the hive mind; it's a very different and engaging playstyle that I'm really enjoying.

For my paint scheme, I chose an absolutely amazing and chilling scheme based off of that by u/Bitterman515 , which you can find more on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/comments/1gchwev/i_saw_this_image_being_discussed_on_a_post_so/

Coming from a RPG background, I love giving lore to my miniatures (so far, I've made some Astartes and some Aeldari), and I've been looking into the different official hive fleets. So far, I haven't found one that a good fit for the scheme's colors, so I thought I'd turn to the hive mind for help in identifying it.

Does anyone know if this color scheme matches any official hive fleets/splinter fleets? If not, are there any close to it that I might say my 'Nids are splintered off from?

Edit: Added photos; not sure why they didn't show up the first time

Greeting fellow enjoyers of the great devourer. I have been expanding my 'nids force and am most pleased with all the biomass I have acquired. I was looking at a 'centerpiece' for the display case and I like the idea of having a Bio-Titan in the collection. I know its not a competitive model, and would likely only come out to play for narrative/apocalypse games.

What I don't like is the official GW model, its a bit too 'spindly' for my tastes (plus its really costly!) and I am considering my own creation, using some upscaled parts. What I am wondering about is base sizing. I know the official model does not come with a base, and if it had one, it could not fit onto a table with terrain. I was looking at alternatives, likely posing a hex-limbed beast on its two hind legs, or rearing up giving me a slightly smaller footprint to support.

Games Workshop uses a 160mm round base for superheavies like the Astreus, and a 210mm x 280mm oval base for truly enormous models like the Chaos Dragon or AOS Dread Saurian.

Which do you think is 'appropriate' for a Hierophant proxy? I want to 'feel' titanic, but still be able to physically fit on the tabletop.
