Nice to see Hissy back in a (relatively) good mood, also nice to see that HIssy didn't rip you to shreds Ratius

**Ratius**

Just found 6 spore mines under my bed (and one in my Pint).

Its better than the 9 I found when I first left Her Highness.......

Oh very nice! I have always loved that model, though I have heard its legs can be fragile. How do you plan on basing bear?

Bear is the guy assembling/painting him Ustrello - Im afraid I didnt do a thing

Im actually hoping to mount him on a standard GW Flyer base (under the chin) - and leaving the legs off the ground.

i.e. the legs wont support him at all - I have read they are too fraglie unless heavily pinned.

Has anyone else done this - on a flyer base - just under the Chin/Face piece?

Other than that Ustrello - I do not know - any ideas yourself?

Stompy going to collapse under his own weight Ratiussss?

No Your Highness. He is not.

We have had some fun tonight. But dont EVER think me or Bear will mess up Stompy. Hes....our Beast as much as yours.

Ratiussssss.

Hissy ressspect what you jussst said

You know what Hissy? I never gave up on you.

So dont give up on me.

Ratiussss, damn you.........

(Got her again Peeps !)

I have heard that people make scenic bases, and cleverly attach/pin a leg or two to a building or some strategically placed debris.

**LeCacty**

Aww swarmy is so cute

. Great job(s) Ratius! Loving this.

**War Kitten**

So nice to see that she's forgiven you. Keep up the good work

**Ratius**

Thanks peeps, on holidays for a while but we'll be back soon with some updates. Keep watching under your beds.

**Theophony**

She has forgiven you AND now you go on vacation. Are you temping fate?

**Trondheim**

Now this was a great update, and dat terrain made me drool with envy

**Ratius**

If you go to Terra today,
You're sure of a Big Surprise,
If you go down to Terra today,
You better not close your eyes,
For every Bug that ever there was,
Will surely be there,
And thats because,
Todays the Day,
Hissy's Hive has their Picniiiiiiic.....

Hissy coming to Terra Readersssss.....

**LeCacty**

Erm... wat?

**Ratius**

Erm... wat?

Erm... wat?

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

I for one welcome our new Tyranid overlord. OH! Excuse, Overlady?

**Nevelon**

Quite an impressive hive mustering off to war. Bon Appetite!

**Theophony**

off to buys some bug bombs.

That is amazing work. Also that would be the coolest idea for an army transport case (picnic basket).

**War Kitten**

Stock up on bug spray lads. Looks like we'll need it.
In all seriousness that is some truly epic work

**AUGmaniac**

Make a note: Call the Salamanders, we need a few more flamers.
Ratius, I love the hive scheme, and Hissy... well, Hissy is probably one of the better running themes I've seen and I do love it whenever she pops up.
Keep it up dude!

**Mad..**

Never seen a hive fleet song in tune with teddy bears picnic... I like it!

Good to see Hissy is back, I was worried she had snuck into my Hive Fleet for a while... that would be scary.

I like the foam on the terrain, reminds me of the slime from Ghostbusters 2.

And... stompy is almost there... so close!

**Ratius**

Thanks for all the love as usual peeps

So Hissy, is the Hive all back in order?

Yesss Ratiusss.

So what did you do?

Well firssst Hissy blow Sistersss out airlock.

What?! Hissy no!

Do not worry. Hissy send Crony to collect them after a few days. But lesson hasss been learned.

Phew.

Next Hissy calm Triggy down. He wasss crying that Hissy took Wizard hat off him. He liked hat.

Awww poor Triggy.

Then Hissy send 50% of Termagants back into spawning poolsss. Filthy little creaturesss. So more space in Hive again now.

Sounds like things are going well!

And finally Hissy blow Broodlord and Lunchstealers instruments out airlock.

Crony collect them too after a few days?

Absssolutely not.

Well done Hissy, all sounds great so!

Now show more of Hive Ratiusss before Hissy blow you out airlock.

Holy Emperor!

Hehehehehe

**LeCacty**

Glorious. Any plans for new additions? Hierodules? Spores? Hierophants? Harridan? Other stuff?

**War Kitten**

That is a truly great looking force. Hissy must be proud

**Ratius**

You can see Hissys WiP Heirophant on page 10 Cacty. I'll get some more pics of him up this week.

Oh crap, totally forgot about Stompy!

**Theophony**

I see the old screamer-killer carnifex in there. Such a great model for its time.

**Ratius**

Yo Hissy! All well in the Hive this week?

Yesss, all settled and back in order.

Excellent! Well our friend Bear sent on a few more pics of Stompy - he just needs a bit more carapace feathering and some "goo" on his pores and then we (I) have to base him!

Sssso slow. Hissy want to ride Stompy around NOW!.

Oh be nice Hissy - you want him to look the best right? - look hes fighting Dark Angels!

What are Dark Angels?

We fought them before Hissy, waaaaay back when you were purple in Bears house.

That isss not Hissy Ratiusss.....

Wow, good spot Hissy its one of your Sisters leading the Hive I see.

Filthy Sissster.

Why are they called Dark Angles if they are white and green?

Uhmmm, I have no idea.

So do you think Stompy will win?

Of courssse. If he dosent hesss going out the airlock too.

**Nevelon**

Stompy has got those marines right where he wants them. And they are mostly terminators, and those all suck, right?

**Theophony**

They are Dark (meat) Angels, the other dark meat

I hope stompy can pull his weight, or your going to need a bigger airlock.

**LeCacty**

Aww yiss!

**Ratius**

How isss Stompy doing Ratius?

Forget about Stompy Hissy! I forogt to tell you, the Hive is involved in a Round Robin tournament!
We played game 6 last night. It was the Hive VS Eldar.

WHAT?!

Yes!

Here is turn 1 deployment.

Where is Hissys Broodlings?!

We played a kinda of reserve list Hissy. Remember we talked through the tactics for it?

No.

Ermmm, well ok. We did anyway. Here is the Hive forces for the tournament.

Spoiler:

Where is Hissy?

You're cowering, I mean, placed tactically behind one of the Sisters. See?

Hissy sees. Did Hissy kill whole Eldar army?

Ehm.

Did Hissy kill half Eldar army?

Uhm.

Did Hissy kill any Eldar army?

Well you did jump 24", and manage to shoot the Eldar Autarch after stealing the initiative. You shot him up good earning, First Blood, Slay the Warlod and a kill point.

HISSY IS A COMBAT GODESSSS

But eh.

But what?

Well the whole Eldar army turned on you and well, you know. It didnt go so well after that.

Even after 3+ saves?

Yes.

Even after jink saves?

Yes.

Even after passing crashing tests?

Yes. You died.

..........

But look how the game ended.

Hive win?

It was a draw Im afraid leaving the Hive after 3 games on 4 points 1-1-1.

Hmmm, Hissy be back.....

Hissy have to have a talk with the Hive.

Swarmy prepare airlock.....

**LeCacty**

Oh gak Rattius! GTFO!
