Didnt see this anywhere else (?) but too awesome not to share.

Utterly evocative, from the Sergent shouting orders to the last, to the Dreadnought buried under the tide, helpless VS the Genestealer on its head, to the Death Company marine about to obliterate one last Hormagaunt before he falls.
Magical stuff.

Captures what its really like to die VS Nids, no glorious gunline, no heroic last stand, no last minute extraction, just a screaming burial underneath tooth and claw.

**Desubot**

It was sorta posted but still way epic.

would of loved to see a blender dread blending an entire corner of the diorama.

**Ratius**

Apologies so. Still worth seeing again though

**Lovechunks**

holy........ That is insane the slime looks so real. but no roasted bugs from the flamer

**PastelAvenger**

It is fantastic painting and great visionary workI can't deny that, unfortunately the diorama doesn't do it for me, I know it's supposed to be busy however it's far too busy for me. Maybe it was better in real life.

Cheers

Totally different than others. Amazing job. I just wonder what sits in Roman's head

Brilliant.

Cheers.

The graves of matyrs is the foundation of the Imperium.

Great work! I like how the painter dulled the colors of the Nids so the Space Marines would be prominent and so that it wouldn't be a mess.

**tommse**

Looks like Guernica 40k. Absolutely stunning!

**UnCool Villain**

Yeah the guys website is massive voodoo and he posted he will have a lot more pics of it within the next while. His work is out of this world.

I think this perfectly shows what Tyranids are all about.

EDIT:

This was also made out of 127 models... just amazing.

**Cave_Dweller**

This is totally awesome! What a well-deserved win for whoever made this. So much detail and action, as well as totally horrifying!

**Byte**

Fantastic!

**Ratius**

I still cant get over the Termy Sergent "centerpiece".
He dosent have his helmet on, so no Vox - still shouting orders to his units.....as they die. They have no chance of hearing him over the sound of the Nids - screaming, clawing, scratching....
But he holds - even without one arm and commits himself to the Primarch.

I'd look at this all nigh t

**Kaiserbudheim**

Oh those poor Tyranids!

Simply amazing! If I were to add anything at all, I'd love to see The Sanguinor meteoring in from above! 'Cuz if that isn't a dire situation to warrant the Sanguinor or the Legion of the Damned to make an appearance, then I have no clue what "dire" is in 40K!

**Ratius**

Maybe its Baal in a future incarnation....GW will never move the fluff on that far though..... :(

**Million**

This is very impressive. Anyone who hasn't clicked the link and just looked at the inserted images is missing the pinnacle of the diorama - I nearly did

**SickSix**

You have to click the link to see what they are climbing at.

And I will say this has got to be the most amazing 40k diorama I have ever seen!! The detail is just crazy. This must have taken a year or more to do. Just the planning of the positions of the models must have taken a month.

Freaking awesome.

**MattRendar**

Amazing work! So cinematic , I hope they post pics of this in the white dwarft .great pics

**VeteranSgt.Ryokai**

That is truly epic.

**Chris_P**

Holy crap that's amazing!

**gunslingerpro**

Truly an unreal diorama. I'd be interested to see the runners up.
