For the dred add another autocannon to barrel to make it legal first of all! maybe black legion colors? maybe alpha legion? or for SM sould drinkers or imperial fists!

Dreads have to have autocannons as twin linked.

Just remember I am NOT a SM player nor will I ever be most likely. This was just thrown together a few years ago for fun. I'm not entirely worried about it being legal considering it will never see a table beyond my own kitchen table while I paint Though if I had ANY IG bits I prob would make it legal.

Plus the ones that come with the dread are a bit too small and sad looking for me. The whole point was to not look so stubby and blah.

i bumb you but you can't do the same? For shame mad'am! hhaha

Thanks to a buddy of mine I have finally taken a much needed test run of my nids!! Considering it was a massive learning experience it was alot of fun. He used a Deathwing list and I'm not going to lie seeing all of those terminators on the board scared the hell out of me. As I said it was a "for fun" game and I learned a whole lot. Also I think he is down to help me out with my true scale marine project and my warhound titan scratch build! I am so excited about these projects and to have someone else interested is great! The titan will go to him when its all said and done and that is fine with me because I just cant wait to make it!

14 more nids to make and I will have my 2000 pt list ready to go!!

sounds quite big.

What part sounds big Finch?

As I said before, all of my plastic Zoey bodies are assembled and I managed to get my Doom attached to a base. I also got my other Hive Tyrant assembled (no wings this time)

I still need to make a few more Genestealers and a fist full of termagants and 15 hormagaunts to get my already changed 2,000 point list going. This only a test list considering I'm not using Tervigons or Warrior spam and not too many Genestealers. Chances are that I'm in for a lesson in loss but I'm more than happy to learn.

PICTURES. BATTLE REPORS. ARMY LISTS.


GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Pictures are a bit up in the air due to continuing issues with the camera... As for battle reports, I will try to get one done up for my game tomorrow. Its going to be 1,500 points and most likely the massacre of my bugs! Not entirely unexpected considering its going to be my second game...ever.

Well, yeah.. but your opponant is deathwing.. even Tyranids can facerape them..

Best of luck with the game. But as it is your second, I'd recommend focusing more on the battle. Equally so, if you do a battle report, you can go over what you did right/wrong..

Thanks for the luck I know I will need it. I am seriously going to try and get a betrep tomorrow. I'll post it up in the section of the forums where it belongs when I do and I will post a link to it here. That way everyone can pick apart my work...I'm not sure if I want to now!

Fixed.


Also, you have no choice in posting this batrep - we know where you live and we have petrol bombs.

Jk, we won't kill you.

your army sounds BIG.

I'm trying Finch Claw. What I lack in skill I will make up for in superior numbers and a potty mouth!

Played my first "real" game yesterday! It was a blast. Although I don't have a batrep for you guys... Sorry. Either way I am super pumped up to get going on my nids and I am starting to see what units are good and what units are so-so. Also I have gotten ahold of some plastic termi legs for a true scale SM project I've wanted to do. Mayhaps I will post some WIPs up here if anyone wants to see the progress.

What army did you verse at least?

deathwing caan really suffer against nids if used correctly; what did you use?

p.s BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP

I was up against a Dark Angels (my fav SM chapter incase anyone cares ) And as for what I ran with...

2x Tyrants
4x Zoeys
1x Doom
Bunch of gaunts
Bunch of gants
Cluster of Genestealers (I LOVE Genestealers)
Trygon

Dont ask me for numbers cause I dont remember

It was a really fun game and I am still blown away by the destructive power of genestealers.

In that case you should play space hulk. Genestealers are more killy than ever in that game.. especially against space marine terminators.. oh wait, what was that? Their only enemies are space marine terminators? Well, that's gonna be fun!

I would love to play that! I am honestly amazed at how much I am enjoying the actual game playing portion of the hobby. I already knew I enjoyed the painting and modeling, but the game has me hooked for sure.

Sometimes I just don't believe the "painter only" people. But I do understand them.

Wow. It's 11:40ish PM here - it must be what, 20 to 7 where you are, Tony? Man I need to go and get some sleep. -buggers off before the rambling starts(continues)-

Get some sleep Darkvoid, maybe by tomorrow at this time I will have some more games to talk about since it is 40K day at the FLGS.

Due to the simple fact that I am at a loss as to how the heads should look on my custom Zoeys I sat down and painted my Trygon. Its not completely done mind you but I'm proud to put it on the table! Let me know what you think...







I know I have alot of touch up wprk to do but I like it so far!

As do I!

For tabletop quality, that's right up there at the top, and I like it. You've just got to finish all the highlights and the bone colour is a mit off. However I heard somewhere that washing Gryphone Sephia over a white undercoat gives quite pleasing results - you might want to try it on a gaunt or something.

Looks nice.

Thanks guys.

@Darkvoidof40k- I'm going to go back over all of the raised "bone" parts that have been inkwashed with a mix of bleached bone and skull white so that only the recessed areas stay that nice dark brown.

Also, I dont mind the slightly "dirty" look it has now just because it does come popping out of the dirt and all.

I have leftover trygon/mawlok headplates that I am using for my Zoey heads. The only problem is that I only have 3 out of 4... So unless I get one in the warstore mega bits bag that my loving fiance purchased for me, I'm in a bit of trouble. Any suggestions on an alternative for that last one?

Yeah, that thought already crossed my mind Dark but I am in a bit of a money crunch and I am avoiding spending money like the plague.

Any suggestions on how to make something? or mayhaps an alternative?

FYI Dark, I love the quotes in your signature. Especially this one...

If I would finally recieve that package in the mail, I'd send out the mawloc bits, but alas, UPS is freaking crazy..
