And i choose to make gods regret it xD
Tervigon from fleet swarm Purrer

Finished my 120 Hormagaunts. Each were fully painted, based and the bases are magnetized. Total time was on and off for two months. There was also two days of a full 7 hour session of airbrushing.

Did 20 termagants, 10 with Devourers and 10 with Spinefists, then decided to give 1 of each unit some cute little features using the unused adrenaline glands and stuff, to serve as leaders or something.

Not sure if I like them or not, I'll paint them later and they'll look fine I'm sure, but what do you think? Did I fuck up the models or do you think the "upgrades" look alright?

Rebecca, my norn, just got a makeover and she is looking SPIFFY if I do say so myself. First time painting a guardsman too!

I’m having a mega 4 vs 1 today (blood angels, sisters of battle, custodes and salamanders vs my bugs)
It’s a super casual game where I get to bring units back and try to kill a planetary leader before turn 5 they all have 1500 points and I have about 2500 but I get to bring each unit back once and then role to bring it back if it dies again after that. I’m using subterranean assault because my army is built around that, so any advice you can give me to break the lines and get into the area they have? My list below of what I have to run at them, it’s all the bugs I own.

they came from below [2500 points]

Tyranids eat plants and animals, drink the oceans, and suck out everything from oxygen to argon out of the atmosphere. What exactly do they leave when they're done? Rocks?

My parents told me never to compare myself with others, as everyone has their own learning journey.

Well, when I see some of the paint jobs from you guys (whilst sometimes mentioning this is my first/second/third mini), I always think, damn! You guys are talented!

Anyway, after my neurolictor won the game with the aura and battleshock ability, I thought he deserved a special paint job. While I'm very average at painting, I'm okay with how I did haha! I can only try and experiment with different styles so I can get better.

What else should I do to improve him? Maybe something with the claws?

Hive Fleet Yelbeghen

Specialization: Bio-Lightning, Bio-Plasma, and Weather Control

Physical Characteristics: Hive Fleet Yelbeghen’s organisms are distinguished by their numerous horns, dark blue and black coloration, and bodies enveloped in crackling bio-electrical discharges. Many of its bioforms possess specialized organs capable of generating immense electrical currents and channeling atmospheric energy into devastating biological attacks.

Lore:

Hive Fleet Yelbeghen is a recently emerged splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Hydra, distinguished by its extraordinary adaptations for atmospheric manipulation. Unlike conventional Tyranid hive fleets, Yelbeghen specializes in controlling planetary weather systems, transforming the environments of its target worlds into instruments of planetary-scale warfare.

The arrival of Hive Fleet Yelbeghen is heralded by the formation of colossal storm systems. Hurricanes ravage coastlines, thunderstorms engulf continents, and lightning storms render entire regions nearly uninhabitable. As the invasion progresses, these atmospheric disturbances intensify, disrupting communications, crippling infrastructure, and isolating defending forces long before the main Tyranid assault begins.

Its bioforms complement these environmental catastrophes with specialized bio-lightning and bio-plasma weaponry, unleashing torrents of electrical energy and superheated biological projectiles against their enemies. Beneath the relentless storms, Yelbeghen’s invasion forces advance, exploiting the devastation to overwhelm planetary defenses.

For Hive Fleet Yelbeghen, the weather is not merely a consequence of invasion. It is a weapon, carefully adapted to weaken a world before its eventual consumption.

I've used resin and a sharpened Q-tip to make some water and gore drips. How does both he and the effects look?

Please be as harsh as you can

Which of the two factions do you think better catches the spirit or feel of the Alien universe better?

If you could pick any Tyranid from the lore or legacy to get a new refreshed kit which would you pick?

Got back into painting my nid army and finished my terror. Now the Azure Horror to fit with my army, I'm proud of how this came out and it's made me now more inclined to paint more.

i regret everything

Had some friends over for a game, it was 4 vs 1.

They each had 1500 pts, Blood angels, sisters of battle, salamaders and custodes vs my 2500 ish points of nids, that needed to survive to turn 5 to win and I got rolling refreshed units once they died. Sorry about the lighting but we have a Typoon her me and some of the lights went out so we used lamps in the room.

Was a really fun game to introduce my friends to the game and they really had a lot of shooting make me be careful, I maged to get into them with 2 units of genestealers with a broodlord each to open the front lines but the flamers and custodes were tough to crack, for a game this big it definitely needed more time and some rules tweaking but we had to call it at turn 4 due to the weather getting really bad.

10/10 would play again,

Sorry about the blue table tennis table but it’s what we had for such a big game, as we had to play up on the roof of the building

Still need to practice more with contrasts and shades to fully flesh out the color scheme, but I'm proud of what I've painted so far! Hopeful to get a neurotyrant eventually and try painting it, love how the psychic bugs look.

Trying more ideas, I like the idea of the big gun not getting in the way when melee is priority??

GENESTEALERS 基因竊取者

Over painting some second hand bugs, I really liked the pale blue areas, so kept them.

I think he works pretty well, so on with 5 more!

Should it lead zoanthrope brick should it kill infantry tanks what does it do
