Is that some warmill terrain i see?

It sure is, painted by warmill itself. My only critisism would be that the towers are a bit too small to be of practical use for 40K, accomodating only one fig on a small base.

Mix... you'd have to ask wyfox for details.

Thought so, thats pretty awesome.

I did wonder about that, but it should okay for most things.

looks like the game was fun, and played on a pretty damn awesome board.

It was fun. Unfortunately the little one now has a pention to chant "Doom on you." whenever I try to make a saving throw. Bloody WyFox teaching my kids bad habits...

Haha thats hilarious!

hahahahahha Nice!

Yeah, I should have thought that one out...impressionable kid and all.

Funniest part was end of game:

Kid: "Can we Doom him again?"
Me: "Nah, a little Doom goes a long way."
Kid: "But we're going to get beaten."
Me: "Yeah, but it annoys your Dad"
Kid: "Dad...Dad!"
Gits: "OK, OK, you can Doom me this one time"
Kid: "Yeah! Doom on you. Doom on you....ah! He made both saves "
Gits: "That's what you get for being a poor sport "

Karma

So awesome. Just be glad that there weren't any chairs nearby.

Truth-be-told, WyFox gets full props for putting up with both of my boys for a day's gaming. One can be challenging enough, but both at the same time... woof! The eldest starts creating stories and hypothesizing about "fluff" events based on whats happening... e.g. "Wouldn't it be cool if..." (which is fine but really slows the game down) and the little one is enthusiastic but a bit random... and still needs a lot of help with the rules.

He probably needs less help than me though!

Hence the name, fatty?

Nice game.

Both your kids are young, so it should be expected. Enjoy the fact that your kids enjoy a hobby you really get into .

eagerly await a game against the thing(s) new armies.

SL

I am very appreciative... shared a different hobby with my dad in our time & even though I don't do it anymore (even though he still does) we still shared a lot of good times together and can still converse about it.

Thing 2 had a big night last night... got his Christmas presents from Solar_lion... two custom made Nid drop pods! SL did a great job on them & they'll get painted up over this weekend (which is long for us as the kids are off school for a couple days). He started painting his legion of termigants all on his own (I was out with Thing 1 at the time). Just priming... but the initiative and enthusiasm he showed in jumping right in is a really good sign.

Can Thing 2 come inspire me over my long weekend this weekend? I'm figuring I may as well dive into my resolutions feet first.

And tackle those 200 odd gaunts.............

Well, perhaps it will inspire WyFox to get off his buttowski and get HIS nids painted.

Though, he has been doing a stellar job painting his Space Wolves... so I can't give him too much of a hard time.

I don't post too many WIP shots here as my painting of these Nids is pretty basic. However, every once in a while if something is unique or interesting (like the Tervigon) I'll post something up. Which brings us to today's post... two spore pods, made as a Christmas present for my son by Solar_lion. Just the priming (bone) and basic airbrushing done so far. Plates will be green (like his nids), ooze a pinkish red.

Awesome to see the Tervigon assembled! I have 3 of these kits waiting for me to piece togeather

Too bad they are sitting on the backburner behind 2 titans

Wow they look awesome! Props to Solar Lion, they are sweet. Would like to know how he went about making them.

The mud looks ace as well.

oOoOO Nice looking Pods! Can't wait to see them painted!

When I do another I'll snap some pics. Originally I entended to do 3; thinking 3 is a normal drop pod number when using the DP strategy in a game.

Vitruvian.. do you play nids?


SL

Advanced one of the pods to the second stage...

Those are like gigantic hive mind-chicken eggs I like them! hats off to SL

Well done Solar_lion they look awesome. Can't wait to see them painted up Gits

@Solar, thatd be cool mate cheers! I honestly think they match really well with the FW nids imo.

Any yeah i play Nids, got about 5k with 2k painted

Thanks all, it was an impulse build ( build as you go kinda thing ) I made templates for the spines so when built they would be close to matching. Other than that its mostly modeling paste. The real art work will be the painting as well as all the consumables gathered for the hive!

If you want I'll do up a couple for you if you need them - WHEN ... I get to the 3rd one for thing 2!
I have some other designs I want to try as well, I'll need some for my eventual Nid army ( in the future) Suggestions are always welcome.- I could use some feed back on my Lamenters blog as well. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/394207.page[/url]

Nah solar dont sweat it, ive got a few concepts i want to try out myself.

I'm hoping for one to come out with the rumored February wave of nids. Though to be honest, I'm not even holding my breath there will be a February wave . The pod is certainly one of the better looking scrathbuilds Ive seen. Most are just foam eggs or kids toys painted brown.

The Nid mini-release was leaked by Warseer's Mirabeau and confirmed by Warseer's Harry and Stickmonkey. When it comes to rumor validity, that is pretty much a home run.

Model wise, rumors are less clear but Harry and Mirabeau feel that it will be 2 plastic kit releases (the Harpy and Tervigon).

More importantly, there is the GW FAQ which allows Hive Guard to bypass cover saves generated from wargear, special rules, and psychic powers. The only effective ranged anti-tank unit in the codex just got better.

Oh, and SitW now affects psychic powers cast within a transport.



Sounds like your boy need to invest in some Hiveguard.
