**Mad..**

Hah... very clever Hissy. I'm hoping the sisters don't work out how far away my swarmlord is from them... but hey, happy to help bait the sisters if it keeps peace in your hive.

My swarmlord is almost finished in the spawn pools and will emerge in the next few days so the sisters can begin their hunt

**Ratius**

Males are at their best when hunted

**Ratius**

5 more Termagants finished Hissy. Now only 7 to go I believe.

Is that all?

4 more SuperStealers also undercoated ready for work later this week.

Only 4 Superstealers?

Our friend Phil is on holidays Hissy so Stompys progress is on hold till hes back.

On what?

We'll get a game going with the Hive though this week!

Just one game?

You know what Ratiusss?

I know, I know.....

I still love you Ratius.

Aw thank you Swarmy!

**Sinful Hero**

Keep slaving away Ratius! Wish I had your dedication to keep plowing through models.

Looking forward to your next Anphelion game!

**hemmis92**

Haha, I love the whole "family" thing going on in this thread

And hey, it seems Hissy is actually becoming kind of nice(er) as time passes!

I think you need to watch out for your bed (and anything else) when Stompy arrives though, Hissy might just be saving it all up for one massive retaliatory strike!

**Mad..**

Slowly picking away at the hive.... they can be a bit daunting!

Get hissy some bio mass and she'll be happy for a while

**Ratius**

Thanks peeps.

Hissy oh Hisssssssy.....

Finally. Better have won thisss time Ratiusss.

Well your saves were hot Hissy. Damn hot. This was you VS a 19 hit / 9 wound Gatling cannon.

Never sssend Sistersss to do Hissy work.

**Trondheim**

I dare say those Gene stealers are getting very good looking. Pariticulary the one on the sligthly taller base imo.
As always a great read and nice pictures too, well done.

**EyeamRai**

Way to go Hissy!

**Ratius**

Thanks again guys

Look Hissy more Stealers.

Superstealers?

Yes sorry I meant Superstealers. I got them done in a night and a half which was pretty good going. That leaves us with only 4 to complete.

Excellent. How many Stealers is that ssso?

Stealers or Superstealers?

Both Ratiusss, both.

Hmmm, if we complete them all it'll be 46 I think Hissy. I'll have to add them up. Surely you know how many, you're Queen of the Hive.

Hissy lossse track sometimes, Hissy very busy.

Hmmm. Well speaking of busy if you dislike Broody so much and his Stealers why did you spawn another one of him?

Hissy did not. Tervi get drunk one night and next morning another smelly Broodlord popsss out.

Holy Emperor. Wasss it planned?

Wasss what planned?

Nevermind, I forgot the Hive dosent work like normal reproduction.

Of courssse not Ratiusss. Idiot. Thatsss why Hive is stronger than weak Humansss.

Anymore games of Hissy and Hive Ratiusss?

We should have another one from the Anphelion project this week Hissy.

Hissy play?

Im not sure Hissy, depends on who in the Hive wants to take part. We have to be fair to everyone. Triggy the Trygon hasnt had a game yet or Deathleaper or Biovores.

Hmmm.

We'll see anyways.

Till next time peeps.

Bye peepsss.

**Mad..**

46 stealers painted up.... nice one!

And I really like the broodlord, that's the one from Space Hulk right? (ahem I mean the Tervigon)

**Ratius**

It is the SH Broodlord Mad

Very cool model to be fair.

Look Hissy, last of the termagants ready for painting.

How many Ratiusss?

Oooph, I think we have 55 now Hissy. That enough cannon fodder for you?

Dependsss on how well Tervi spawns them in battle Ratiusss.

Very true Hissy.

And look who I found hiding in the utility room!

Why was he hiding?

He was the Warrior we tried to do with Quickshade remember? But it didnt fit well with the Hives color scheme.

Alabamas bed getting spore mined for that.

Stop that Hissy! Ala was just suggesting ways to improve your Hive. Youre so selfish sometimes.

Youre selfisssh.

No Hissy you are.

You are.

Anyway, you're fighting again this weekend I think. And so is Triggy. Do you think you'll make a good combination?

If Triggy dosent get lost underground then yesss.

Triggy a bit directionally challenged is he?

Any sound he hearsss he follows. He not listen to what Hissy tellsss him. One time he burrow up into Hissys chambersss when Hissy was eating.

How rude of him! Anyway we'll see how you all get on and be back next week hopefully.

**Trondheim**

Loving this update Ratius, provides amusment when one is painting. Also Hissy is hillarious as ever

**Ratius**

Thanks Trondy! xxx

Been quiet lately but we have Stompy arriving soon. My oh my.

Who?

Uhm Hissy, you know Stompy???

The Big thing?

Hissy? Have you been eating Eldar again? Are you....

HISSY IS FULLY COG...COG...COG

Conscious?

Go to bed Hissy, we'll update tomorrow.......

**Trondheim**

Will await the update with great eagerness

**Ratius**

How is your head Hissy?

Fine Ratiusss.

Good well we got the last of the Termagants done!

How many now?

Hmmm somewhere around the 53 mark I think Hissy. Good fodder?

Good fodder.

We also finished the last of our 2nd ed Warriors. We now have 9 in total. Pretty good eh?

Proud, dignified Warriors.

not sure most newschool readers would agree with that Hissy!

What?

Nevermind.

So what is next Ratiusss?

We're actually running out of things to do Hissy. Once we finish these four, we're kinda, well sort of, well you know.

What?

Well we'll be finished again Hissy.

What about Stompy?

Yes we'll definitiely have to wait on Stompy but as for Gribblies I cant think of anything we have left.

Tyrannocytes Ratiusss. Hissy Hive needsss guaranteed fast transport option to consssume Worlds.

Hmmm. I dont know Hissy we'll have to see, they are very expensive.....

Silence Ratiusss!!! Get back to farming potatoes or whatever it is you do to fund Hive!!!

For the love of the Emperor.....

**Trondheim**

Golden suff as ever Hissy

**Nevelon**

Better get Hissy some new friends, lest she turn her hunger towards you Ratius.

When was the last time the whole swarm turned out for a photo shoot?

**Ratius**

Thanks as always guys

The swarm did show up a few times last year Nev but I do want to get another set of overall army pics with the new additions:

I added up the whole Hive tonight Hissy with biomporphs. Guess how many points it came to?

30,000 Ratiusss.

No Hissy too high.

20,000.

No Hissy still much too high.

15,000.

This could go on a while.....

It came to about 7,000 Hissy. Not bad eh?!

Spoiler:

More Ratiusss, MORE MORE MORE!

Never happy oh High Queen are you? Never happy.

Hisssssssssssssssssssss!

**Nevelon**

Quite the swarm. Good to see them all turned out for a pic. With nids there are two metrics to your army: how many points you can field, and how much of the table you can cover with bugs. You are doing fine on both counts!

**GiraffeX**

Why is Hissy not at the front of her hive picture

**Ratius**

Dont tell her I said this GX but Hissys a scardey cat so hid in the middle of the Hive behind all the gribbly fodder.

**DarkStarSabre**

No Ratius. No. Why did you do it?

*Cries* Now I have to go point up the two 'completed stuff' photos at the start of my PLOG.

Good to see such a sizeable swarm though.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have points to work out.

**Mad..**

That is an impressive army you got going there... great work!

And Hissy... possibly not a scaredy cat, more of a clever general who uses the tools available to her. You know like Denethor in LOTR points out, he expends even his own sons even though he can still lift a brand.

**Ratius**

Thanks as always for the feedback peeps!

Hi Hissy!

Hi Ratiusss!

My, you're in good form today Hissy, how have you been?

Good Ratiusss, good. Ratiusss why not show readersss Hissysss last win?

Ah-ha thats why you are in such a good mood Hissy! My mistake I forgot to link it last update.

Whatsss score now Ratiusss?

You'll have to go back and read the batrep Hissy but its very exciting! We should have the final game up in the next few days too.

Hissy winning?

No chance of me telling that Hissy!

Go on Ratiusss, give Hissy a hint.

No Hissy, we're on trun 3 so we cant give anything away!

But in the meantime we finished thre last of the SuperStealers.

How many in total Ratiusss?

21 Hissy plus you're favourite, illegitimate Broodlord so 22 in total.

Very good Ratiusss. What is illegitimate?

Oh nevermind Hissy! Do you prefer the old or the new Super Stealers?

Hmmm.

Both are good Ratiusss but Hissy like the way SuperStealers have skulls and helmets in their hands. Meanssss they are well fed and have absorbed biomass for Hive.

A valid point Hissy. Always thinking with your Belly.
We should have some WiP pics of Stompy in the coming days too.

WiP?

Work in progress.

Hes not finissshed yet?!

Uhm, no, our friend Bear has been busy.

Bear better check under hisss bed tonight.

Oh oh.....

**Ratius**

So Hissy..........Hi.

Uhmmm.........Hi Ratiusss.....

Uhhhmm, Ratiusss. Why so nice?

Well Hissy...............You were going to Spore mine Bear's bed correct?

Yesss Ratiusss, Bear is lazy and slow.

Well Hissy......Remember waaaaay back when I said you were The Hive General but I am the Commander???

Yesss Ratiusss, Hissy, recall but Ratiusss is Human. Fallible.

Well Hissy. Not all Humans are fallible. If you spore bomb Bear's bed after all his work - I will strip you down in bleach and paint you like a rainbow.

Nooooooooooo, Ratiusssssss. Hissy so sorry, Hissy like Bear'sss work so far, Hissy be good.

(Sometimes the Pet has to control the Master......)

See you soon peeps

**Nevelon**

That’s a big bug.

**Ratius**

So Hissy, how are things?

Life is good in the Hive Ratiusss. We are currently travelling in system for new fightsss.

So kinda like a holiday eh?

Yesss.

Well, Im on holiday too so thats a good match.

Lots of new work for the Hive done so Ratiusss?

Errrmmm, well actually Hissy thats what I wanted to chat to you about. You see, we've sort of run out of things to do for the Hive. We've over 170 models done and nothing else needs to be assembled or painted.

So?

(How does one answer such a question?)

Uhhm, so I have a proposition for you.

.....Hissy will listen but Hissy confusssed and getting slightly agitated.

So what I was thinking was: What if we let non Tyranid Biomass into the blog to be worked on? Different races and units etc?

.....

Hissy?

.....

Thisss joke correct Ratiusss? Hissy Sisters plan to this or Broodlord?

Uhhhm, no afraid not Hissy. (Time to use some reverse psychology here cause I can see where this trainwreck is going). Think about it Hissy. If we let other biomass and units in, you can
A. keep an eye on them
B. learn about their abilities and threat to the Hive
C. And find out how tasty they are after they're done

.....Interesssting. Explain.

So for example, there are a few Ork kits I can work on. As we blog their progress I'll fill you in on who/what they are and you can gain valuale insight into them in your conquest of the Galaxy.

Fassscinating. Hissy sssure this wasnt Sisters plan, too smart. Hissy glad that she came up with idea and learning about new species.

Eh?! It was my idea Hissy, I asked YOU!

Hissy glad to allow Evolution of Hive and will inform Hive gribblies of new additions and biomass.

Hissy I want.....

Thank you Ratiusss, back to work now, new arrivals soon please.

For the Love of the Emperor

(oh well at least the idea worked).

And we'll end with another WiP Stompy. See you soon peeps to see how this Evolution idea works out.....

**Theophony**

No Hissy! Don't do it! It's a trap. Don't let orks in here or the place will start smelling like mushrooms. Plus the intelligence of the hive will...........carry on, assimilate the mushrooms, grow in knowledge.

**Ratius**

No Hissy! Don't do it! It's a trap. Don't let orks in here or the place will start smelling like mushrooms. Plus the intelligence of the hive will...........carry on, assimilate the mushrooms, grow in knowledge.

Hahaha Theo

What, what iss jokesss here Ratiusss?

So the Evolution begins.....

Ratiusss? Hive gribblies?!

Nope Hissy. These guys are Ghazskulls, "Tankbustas".

Biomass quoitent?

Average, but threat level: Mid-High. And they multiply fast, like Gribblies.

Explain

These guys hit and kill the Hives MCs on 2+. They shoot like a drunken Triggy but will wipe our Synapse armor out.

No defenssse?

Cover and or vehicular neutralisation Hissy.

Noted. Hissy.......learn.....Hissy evole......

Good girl Hissy. Ready to take over the Galaxy yet?

Letssss go Ratiussss, feed more to the HIVE
