Hive Fleet Malicean W.I.P. Picture Blog

*****************************************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************************************
Hive Fleet Behemoth and it's splinter fleets were merely the cloven hooves sent fourth to trample a path for the Hive Mind.

Hive Fleets Kraken, Leviathan, and their many splintered fleets were but the many taloned claws of the hive, ripping and tearing us asunder.

Now comes what we all have, and should fear. Now that the Hive Mind has it's foothold and it's claws sunk deep into our universe. Now comes Hive Fleet Malicean. Nothing more than simply the gaping maw of the Great Devourer, closing in around us to consume us all.

There is one proven fact that holds true for all Hive Fleets, the one battle tactic they all have in common: The weak are sent first. By using this strategy, time and time again, the Tyranids waste our valuable ammo supplies, test our defences for weaknesses, and cost us precious lives we can ill afford to be lost when the stronger, more monstrous creatures arrive to crush us underfoot. Hive Fleet Malicean is no different. However, this Hive Fleet has employed this simple tactic on a much grander scale. Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan where the weak sent first. Malicean is the greater beast now sent to finally stampede it's rampage against our already weakened defences, our depleted resources, and our now limited populace.


Green Team:= Close Combat


Red Team:= Mid Range Synapse


Blue Team:= Long Range Support

The idea behind this Hive Fleet is that it follows behind all the other fleets and picks up the surviving Nids. These nids, obviously the strongest from the planet since they survived, are then assimilated in to the avalanche of endless fangs. The different colored Nids come from different planets that needed unique tactics to defeat the enemies there and therefore each are already trained, battle hardened, specialized, and well prepared for the final consumption of the universe.

The Rippers convey this idea the best, since all the different colors and some with spine fists here and there, swarm together, in a writhing mass of colorful death and doomyness

I like the grey and red paint scheme you have for the synapse creatures.

I'm having a hard time trying to come up wih a paint scheme for my new tyranid army.

/\ Truth be told...I had a hard time thinking of a paint scheme too...So I did three

With these magic words, I call upon the dark powers of Necro-Thread-Mancy!

ZIM ZALLA BIM BUM BA ZALLA DOO ZALLA DIM!
*poof*

Ah to heck with it il help with the necroing, i like the idea of the many diferent swarms from diferent hive fleets

Thank you sir, thank you very much.

I also plan on getting all of the new and unique monster nids. Like DeathLeaper, Ol'One Eye, Swarmlord etc. etc.

A Hive Fleet entirely composed of the big, the bad, and the nasty!

If you, or any one else, has any input as to what else I should include or even a few suggestion on what upgrades to give to the skeleton bare point tree I just created, please let me know.

As i am sorry to say this as i am.... making a swarmlord is a bugger of a task, i am trying to make one right now and i had to use 4 scything talon arms..... also please note i can not convert or cut plastic moddels without killing them so it looks pretty funny

Edited spelling.......

These are the only known photos of Hive Fleet Malicean, last seen in the era of 2010...
Shadows in the Warp have been documented as being able to drive Psykers insane, be warned, this Hive Fleet shall return.
