Please tell me you're going to do Pinky Genestealers or Hormagaunts.

the pinky is far more survivable to be allowed to be a mere hormagaunt IMO

man this is sooooo awesome! I love it! Im glad to see someone bring back Doom, and even to 40k! This is the best themed army ive seen

Say what?

The Pinky had only 150 HP, which generally meant 2 Shottie blasts or 1 Super Shottie blast to kill.

You know, originally I was going to have Pinkies stand in as Tyrant gaurd... but now that you mention it, that makes no sense whatsoever...hmm, an interesting predicament...

Are those bloodletter heads in use there?

their bodies too!

Ok, so with the Tyranid codex thread, and one person reading what a great deal of changes there are, I think I am going to have to hold off making any more actual units before the codex release. there are some DRASTIC changes, and holy crap, I can actually field archviles now(perhaps one of my favorite enemies) as pyrovores. So Ill post the finished zombies soon, and maybe make some objective markers, and then its break time till January!

And if the thing that can spawn gaunts is true, you could put in the Icon of Sin, too.

Sorry for the delay guys, graduating college and preparing for a permanent move is time consuming. I finished the zombies, and wil have them posted tomorow as I will be able to take better pics! See you then!

ZOMBIES!!! Ok, so I came up with some back story for this whole dooomy type situation, sorda ties in why I left the Cadian zombies more like Cadians.

The ADmech engineers of Mars were hard at work when a faint hiss in the telepathic dragnet around the planet was heard, and felt. Then, the head Techpriest on Mars recieved a rather strange message from one of Mars' sister moons, Phobos. With all the interference around the planet, only part of the transmission came through: ...The vault...gate...activating!...coming through...what is...not necrons...my emporer!... -end transmission: Understanding the immediacy of the situation, the priest immediately contacted the colonel of the 122nd Cadian regiment that was guarding the moon, but no transmission was responded to. Then, after 6 failed attempts to contact the regiment and 26 hours later, a transmission broke through the seeming psychic blockade that had engulfed the planet: -what is happening over colonel?- -sir! one of the inactive gates that has been on Mars since before man, and what we believed to be a remnant of the necrrroo...started to come to life! What looked like chaos scum came through, but we have never seen anything like this before! Identical legions of monstrosities poured through the gate, our initial garrisons were overrun. We locked off the Vault entryway, but it only delayed them for about fourteen hours. What we saw next we couldn't believe, our dead comrades had risen against us! Oh my empor...(sir their breaking through!)...what! Prepare yourselves men! *Crash* *Crash* *Crash* Roarrrr! Ahhhhh... -end transmission

So ZOMBIES!!

Need a Gatling Gun Zombie

Will you be making the oldschool DOOM Marine to go with this? If so, I'd suggest a Cadian Torso, Catachan arms & Legs, A scratchbuilt DB Shotgun or a Chainsaw, and one of the Pig Iron System Trooper heads.

Double post...

Awesome just awesome.

Looking good, gameandwatch.

If you're looking for a project while you wait for the new 'Nid book, you could try modelling up one of the Doom levels, along with a Marine or two, and try playing a modified Space Hulk game in it.....

*Runs away*

where that one long IG that has to take them all on by him self .

i love this man doom 1995 is the best game ever.

Thanks guys, comin up with some ideas for objective markers, I think I might hold off on new models till the codex release. Make things easier to plan.

Key Cards as I've suggested go on you know you want too!

Nice! one of the very rare GW/Game crossovers that hasnt ended up looking dumb.

This blog has made me put my Collector's edition of Doom 3 into my 360 to play Ultimate Doom and Doom II at least 4 times since you started this.

Ok, so since the codex release I have developed almost 100% where my codex adaption for this army is going to go. Unfortunately, the only real issue has been the placement of the Spidermind, as I don't see him as a Hive Tyrant anymore, mainly because of a fluff thingy which I will explain.

So the list is as follows:
HQ:
Tyranid Primes = Barons of hell

Elites:
Pyrovores = Archviles(flamers)
Hive Gaurd = Revenants (Bonys)
Zoanthropes are still Arachnotrons

Troops:
Warriors = Hell knights (I think this fits perfectly, as these are far weaker versions than their big brothers, Barons of Hell, which work as Tyranid Primes)

Genestealers = Pinkies (demons, as the only strictly melee group in the bunch, and in heavy abundance as well as one of doom's fastest units, this is a pretty tight fit)
Termagants = Zombies and Imps, with different weapon loadouts, spike rifles and fleshborers, though I havent figured out which is which)

Fast Attack: As previously, almost all of the larger units were satisfied by elite and heavy fexes, this was a bit of a standoff, until I really looked at the Harpy, and was like, omg, a flying tough creature, with a big ranged gun...PUMPKINS!! and they can actually fly now! So it fit like a glove)
Harpies = Pumpkins( Cacodemons)

Flying rippers still = lost souls

Heavy:
Carnifexes = Mancubus (fatboys, pretty much the only units carnifexes are going to stand as, which is fine with me)

Tyrannofex with Rupture cannon = Cyberdemon (Now I would love this thing to have a base strength of 9, not 9, or have reg carnifexes with access to something more like the rupture cannon, or lone fexes being tougher or something)

Spidermind, yet to be determind, possible fleshborer hive tyrrannofex, maybe not, anyways, mingle opinions.

I love the zombies, pure class. I had fancied to doing a similar thing but all zombies. very nice indeed.

thankya, thankya, SO does anyone have any thoughts as to my idea?

spidermind can be the trygon prime. Has 12 shots for some chaingun action, and has synapse for the leadership ability. Failing that, a dakka tyrant as you mentioned.

I also like a tyrant with heavy venom cannon and 2+ armor save for a cyber daemon. The venom cannon is pretty crappy in my opinion, but it best fits the idea of an exploding rocket I think.

For zombies I like devourer gaunts for chaingunners, and spinefists for shotguns, since an IG shottie is 2 s3 shots a twinned s3 shot is probably close enough.

Imps are hard to fit in I think, as they are tougher than zombies and have a shooting attack.

For a cyberdeamon methink he's gonna need some rules from the Forgeworld Bio Titan IMO

I dunno if Ill ever do titans, and the classic DOOM cyberdemon isnt THAT big, so Ill probably just leave it some monstrous creature...

So, I have started my works in progress for the Cacodemons, (pumpkins) that will stand for Harpies, keep in min they need a decent amount of touchups. On a side note, anyone remember what the original Harpy-like flying tyranid monstrous creatures were called???

That army is awesome, man, brings back some good gamer memories! Keep it up.

harradians?

CORRECT! SNEEZYPANDA WINS THE PRIZE!
