cheers... although you have given me an idea for how I might approach the nid story...

all I shall say is, it involves a Vanguard organism

P.s. I'm actually quite excited about this... I havent done this much writing for months ^_^

well seems you have a run then^^

ok...gotta hit the hay now...but sure do write moar^^ always like good written fanfiction!

thanks dude, I appreciate it!!!

I never thought I was any good at writing

oh noes... another one with low self esteem... no really i liked it... if you write some more or have already i am not afraid to read more^^

Thanks Vik!!!

Right, so this morning I was rudely awoken by the postman to have a big brown box thrust in my sleep filled eyes...

MAH BIG MOMMA TERVIGON ARRIVED, YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BABEH!!!



Ahemmmm... Anywho, so I sarted building the badboy... I have to admit, I wasn't expecting it to be THAT big... a few problems with the build, mainly not being able to find half my ruddy tools, and my greenstuff going missing... which is a bugger as one of the plans for the army is to fill all eye sockets (I don't like the look of nids with eyes... imo it makes them individuals rather than a teeming mass).

I was 50/50 on using the fleshborer hive arms on the Tervigon as well... but decided to save them for my Flyrant maybe (will have to test fit them when I get the model). But because I felt the scytals that come with the tervigon are a little on the large side, I've ordered two sets of the mini-scytals from the mawloc, mainly because I think as a birthing nid wouldn't have massive claws... rather just something that it can defend itself with... So back to being patient again and waiting on the post. not sure whether I'm going to order Tervigon number two at the weekend or a batch of termagants, OR possibly the resin bases.... choices choices...

I'd definitely reccomend a scenic type base for that bad mammajamma, (whether you make it yourself or buy a resin one.)

I'm going to be investing in these for the entire army:

Love 'em... just means I have to get a large amount of stock for shrubbery and reeds for basing with :S

ah....finally the postman rang twice^^

and you already made good progress with the build...

as for the tervigon with big claws... i think the logic you want to have underlying this model is more human then nid... for these beasts being able to chuck out more monsters if main goal...not getting them hurt due to claws... you wont get a mental image for a cudly tervigon that is cradleing a termagant after birthing^^

oh...and i think it would be best you go for termagants as some small minis to test your scheme on will come in handy... you woulnd´t want to risk messing the big one before you really figured out the scheme?

Good that you got Big mama. If yiou do use smaller scything talons you can just decide not to equip it with any additional weapons because they are optional. It may help to keep you points value down if you're worried about that.

Yeah true Vik, I went with the ones I came with in the end as I decided to convert the support arms, as they didnt make sense... Pics tomorrow lols.

Will most likely test the colour scheme on termagant... I just wanted to get my hands on the big momma to see scale and stuff.

I don't equip any additional weapons within the list anyways so that makes no difference.

Ok, I'm tired and high as a kite from the glue lols... I'm not sure I follow you?

there are two possible places on the homepage of dakka where your thread might show up...

Twas on the left lols... sorry, long day

well as i explained then ... when you do a pic update in your thread (selfmade uplaoded pic here on dakka gallery it will show up on that place...)

if your views go through the roof...then your thread might show up on the right side...

ah fair enough lols, well I was chuffed to be on the font page

I think I might order the Termagants next with some replacement greenstuff, that way I'll have half my 500pt list with extras for birthing. then I'll move on to painting the next time I get money after than.
