First Army... first time painting/converting

Great work on that trygon / mawloc coming out of the rock, it loks really good.

I like the colours! Nice and different. =) Is this your all time first army? Or have you had other armies? Becouse if this is your all time first army I can tell that it is certainly is looking great!

Pink nids?
Scheme actually looks pretty good.
You should put more pics of the pod up though to show the carapace on it.

haha ty.. i'm a student so when i'm not studying i'm either painting or playing wow... so i paint ALOT....

its an awsome start, and the sceme works too, ive just got in to the nids my self lol, but yours put mine to shame

Your army looks fantastic! My first models (and even my current ones) aren't anywhere near that well done. Kudos!

Indeed, they're good. My favorite model there is probably the Tyrant, despite some of the other conversion. He just looks rad.

That's an awesome camoflauge (if they take down a pink spaceship or fight in the ruins of a pink city lol)!
I know they are not supposed to have camo... im just saying.
And I love the contrast of the pinks, purples, reds and blues they fit very well together.

I'm loving the blue deathspitters
They are all great models

ty it was my VERY first model.. so it took me like a week to get it PERFECT....

My wife loves the color scheme, she's been trying to get me to paint my orks like that for years. Well executed, your army is, as a whole, very eye-catching.

Why is the painting so good and yet some of the models have "Raccoon" eyes, where the paint has actually gone outside the socket?

Otherwise, nice.

told my hubby i hated it.. he said it looked good.. only "eyes" i painted were on the trygon... i wanna fix it but he argued! now i have and excuse to fix it!! <3 ty

Pretty impressive for a first army. It would put my first minis to shame. Nice work.

Those are brilliant. Love the colout scheme.

Looks great! Nice sceme. Also nice mycetic spore conversion.


Wow. I noticed all wargamer girls like tyranids.

would you mind telling us why you coose nids as your first army? it will be my second one but now i´m constantly thinking about nids...so i guess the are way cool too^^

Lies, they all love Sisters of Battle.

Very nice Wh33lz, very... pink. Good job on the pod and critter emerging from the rock. conversions really can make an army stand out... though I doubt you'll have any issue with that.

Love The Spore Pod..... Looks Amazing.

I thought they would look the prettiest painted pink and purple... not even lying lol i picked ones based on color....

Me likes it, May I ask if you intend to make a massive army, or keep it around 1500 - 2000 points? Because I would love to see more of your work.

Going massive... i plan on having enough stuff for apoc games.... i just started a month ago....

They look fantastic I am looking forward to seeing some more.

but you could have just made pretty orcs as well^^ nice fresh bathed pinky winky orkies^^ that would be fun^^
