@IronfrontAlex- You best watch your back friend. The zerglings are hatching as we speak!

HAHAHAHA, oh wait, that's not funny..

It's everything on your thread listed here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/292520.page

Which would be:

Azrael, ezekiel, the veteran and all your CSM bits, IIRC

Yep, it is. I have your PM to prove it!

Great to hear that we'll still be getting some hobby here.

You will absolutely get some hobby. I am looking forward to posting some pics of the flyrant. I drilled out the bottom arm holes to fit some magnets and it is ready to get going!

Nobody hit up my swap shop post, putting the stuff on ebay :(

p.s lets see some final products!

For a small update here are some wip pics of the torso of the tyrany getting the magnet treatment. Here are the 2 pcs with the lower are holes drilled out a bit to fit the magnets...


And here is how it looks with the magnets in.


The magnets are not flush with the "top" of the holes, they are actually deeper so that I can GS over them and turn them invisible HAHA. More pics soon I promise

The top holes are not magnetized to leave room for the wings that will be permanently in place. I have another Tyrant that I will be magnetizing to fill any and all other purposes that do not include wings.

The hive tyrant kit is freakin massive. Heavy too.

I am in the process of making one handed heavy weapons and one handed TL weapons for him now! I also changed the head a bot to allow for movement. Pics soon!!

All the GS work is done (poorly) on the torso, tail, guns, as well as some mods to the head to give it a slightly more aerodynamic feel. All I need to do now is magnetize the arms themselves and it will all be ready to assemble. Also I did a minor mod to the wings to give them that tyranid feel. Pics will be going up later today or tomorrow.

Pics or it didn't happen.

LOL^

The forgeworld Flyrant's wings are huge! I never even looked at them before.

Well friend, before you start to call shenanigans on me here is a PIC! of the wips so far.



I am waiting for the GS to harden so I can cut it a bit to try and balance my lack of sculpting skills!

Awesomesauce.

Thanks Void. I still need to put mags in each arm and cover them in GS. Once thats done all that will be left is assembly and painting.

Alright. All of the weapons have magnets and I did a ton of gap filling and added some filler to the torso to make the wings fit cleanly. I also added some GS to the bottom and top of the torso to make the flyrant taller and a bit more poseable. The only thing left to do is gs over the weapon arm magnets and assemble the monster! Pics soon.

Due to the fact that my wife's camera got cought by the window during a freak thunderstorm it is out of comission... On the plus side The flyrant is assembled and waiting for a priming and painting! Also I fully painted my first figure in the final scheme of brown and black. I'm really happy with how it came out and i hope that soon i will have a ton of pics to show to catch everything up. Oh and for my second painting project I'm working on my Trygon!

Still here.

ditto!

Wow I thought everyone was gone!

Here is a poorly taken pic with the wife's phone of the paint scheme. Let me know what you think.

As you say - poor picture. Damn, I just remembered about your camera . Bad luck with that though. From what I can tell, you've got a good base scheme, but it does lack a lot of detail from what I can see. Search around dakka for tips, or make another thread in the appropriate catagory asking about tips for painting your models. I've done it before, with extreme success.

I want to see the paint scheme.

I need a good camera! The carapace has 2 levels of highlights and all the teeth are painted up too. Also due to poor lighting and picture quality you cant see much of the diff in color on the claws and talons vs. the body color. I promise you, in person it looks alot better!

Looks good! I finished the skin on my trygon prime, here take a look:

did it nom nomon that sandwich?


p.s tonynids i know im gakky i've been really busy latley, i did take some pics but ill be posting soon!

Sure did

Hey Hey Hey XD

Just read through and i reckon that this blog has some Kwel Beans goin' off!!!

Love all your models and i'm looking forward to seeing your Flyrant XD

P.S.
Lovin' the Scheme XD

@IronfrontAlex- I didn't think you were ever coming back!

@Samus_aran115- Trygon looks amazing! How dod you go about doing the fleshy bits?

@Bloodhorror- My cat decided it hates both my computer and my flyrand and knocked the monitor of one onto the other... Needless to say we almost didn't have a cat anymore. I'll be putting some serious time into fixing that and then Its off to prime and paint!

It's a basecoat of tallarn flesh. Then I drybrushed the white on. I later filled in the bad looking fleshy parts with some watterwed down tallarn flesh. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. The only part I hate is the mouth. I don't know why I used that pink on the gums. The teeth will be white tommorrow.

I still say it looks amazing! Pink gums and all!

Cool beans.
