The hell are you making? And why haven't I seen a gaunt orgy yet? Answer me!

I can answer this one; it's because you haven't checked page 5!

OH GOD DAMN IT.

Doomykins, you are outthinking me. I'm scared.

Ok, I spent Sunday/Monday basing my entire army. I used railroad ballast from woodland scenics, to give it that arid, Tyranids ate everything feel.
And the problem is it worked too well. Now it just looks like I half assed it. It needs something more, but what? Suggestions, Please.
You know how I feel about doing Ass Whole, instead of half. Haha... Asswhole... I'm writing that down for later.
Oh, Hive Fleet Real Life invaded a blueberry farm and I ate myself sick.
ALSO, a teaser of things to come: Pyrovores that actually throw balls of fire. Maybe someone will take them now.

Whaaat? Where? Fenrisian wolves, huh? I'll bet its in there.
Slaanesh was pretty much a given, but damn. Space wolves, too, huh?

If you add a few bigger rocks, it will add a bit more to the bases.

You could put some milky white glue on it.

It fits the theme! Don't look at me like that!

Regarding the SW thing; Lukas the Trickster, IIRC, was made a scout shortly after spending a night with a bunch of ladies.

"Lukas was once famous for sharing a dozen beds in a single night."
Huh.
I'll be damned, it IS in there.
Might have to model that.
More like Lukas the Trick Turner.

Lukas was a ladies man, eh?

Make Lukas and a bunch of women stacked so high it's a dreadnaught. I challenge you!

And what will you be lighting on fire?

Haha ok, I'll do that if I can trade for the models.
I'm envisioning one at the top of this vertical stack of tang sitting up uncomfortable and prodding the lady below her. Will need a crown, and Lukas at the bottom of the stack of flesh.
Play on words? Princess and the Pea(nis).

I MAY be building a pyrovore that actually sprays fire. This will in no way damage models or cause secondary fires of any kind.
It will be pretty damn cool though. If I get the go ahead I'll post the rest of the pictures, which may or may not exist.
I hope I do though because they are awesome. Potentially.
It could just be photoshop.
Its not though. Its totally fire.

I found some weemen for the Princess

Just had that link laying around, huh?

I concur, a pile of chicks on the base would be hilarious.

Sort of...

Will update another NSFW nid in about 2 hours.
Oh MAN do I have a good one for you guys.

A good one in two hours?

I guess you're on fire.

Nope, that's just Horatio Caine.

His untimely incineration ruined the joke. He was supposed to deliver the line, then take of his sunglasses... and, you know what? Forget it.

RIP

Well, Lindsay's Hormogaunt/Biovore inspired this one. Well, actually, nine of them. Took a good chunk out of my gaunts needed to have a squad of 30 all converted.
Brilliant. Im short on GS so I had to make a mini hoodoo style back piece, but I feel I did the concept justice in the form of another Tyranid dong.

Matrim redeemed himself in my eyes with his suggestion of larger rocks. OF COURSE. I sat and shook my head for a good 5 minutes.
I added a little something special though.
A very personal touch.

I'm generally pretty open with letting others pick up my conversions in store and even walk across the store to show friends.
These ones I'm not so sure anyone but me will ever WANT to touch.

I'l most likely trim it down once everything dries. Slightly unruly as is.
Possibly even use some yellow/orange clump foliage to offset.

Oh, Chowdalicious, I mixed white glue with water effects to stick the boulders down. Just for you.

I hope that's armpit hair....

Since you have so many Rippers around , i want to see some made from this :'D

"I shave my armpits, It makes me more aerodynamic when I fight."
Also, I don't really "do" hopes or dreams.

Luna- Do I really have to kill my own ripper, Old Yeller style?

No, it's an evil commie ripper, come to communize all of your nids, Because he's a BAD GUY!

Im not sure it gets more socialist than a "Hive Mind", Dan.

I love models that are interactive...minis that move, light up, etc. Fire breathing models are the apex of that category. Can't wait to see more!

WELL....... SHUT UP.
GAW.

RE arid bases. My Orknid backup swarm has got stuff like this on the bases:



Sort of an ate-everything-but-the-bones thing going on. Matches the archetype of sunbleached animal bones lying around int he desert, too.

Nice one with the Gauntvore, you using them as Biovores I take it?

Here's an idea.

1. Install shower drain cover.

2. Ignore shaving for two weeks, shave in shower.

3. Remove flat, circular patty of dead skin, hair, and other general nastiness.

4. Fashion it into a hat for a model or some sort of objective marker.

I am known everywhere that I frequently attend (College, home, work, FLGS) as The Mad Hatter due to my propensity to wear a wide variety of very unusual hats. This would not be one of them.

Therefore, it must now become the hat of a Gobblegooklegrampypants.

The only Tyranid swarm known for it's matching headgear.

Roll on, you crazy 'Nids.
