I just got supply dropped...

No seriously just walk away from the model and leave it as frustration will take over, I have had the same thing myself on several occasions going back to it with fresh eyes works.

Yeah I know, I just find it hard to walk away

Thanks though!

Hopefully the new drop will give you the needed break, if not buy some bug spray

Sort of... Lol, that drop gave me the majority of the parts needed to go with the leftover ones from the Zoanthropes kit to make three Venomthropes, another 24 spore mines to take my total to 51, and two mucolid bodies to sculpt more tentacles on.

Not enough spore mines.

Id love to see the look on an opponents face when you pull these out of the army box and set them down on the table.

Literal mine field to get across

Thats not the worst of it I'm afraid. This is the list those belong to that I'm attempting to create:

HQ:
Proto-stealer: (Counts as Hive Tyrant using the spawn of Cryptus model) Lashwhip & Bonesword, Mawclaws of Thyrax, Regen, Adrenal Glands, Ymgarl factor.
Guard of the Primogenitor: (Counts as Tyrant Guard using converted Broodlord models) x3 with Lashwhip & Bonesword, Adrenal Glands.

Troops:
Mucolid Spore.
Mucolid Spore.

Fast Attack:
Meiotic Spore Brood: x6.
Meiotic Spore Brood: x6.

Heavy Support:
Sporocyst.
Sporocyst.

Formations:
Deathleapers Assassination Brood: Deathleaper, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor.
Sporefield: Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6.
Sporefield: Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6.


- The Sporefields can infiltrate.
- The Meiotic spores deepstrike before turn one, and when they blow up and not kill something, each one becomes an independent brood of D3+1 spore mines.
- Deathleapers brood minuses characters ld.
- Sporocysts can make more Spore mines, and once per game another Mucolid each.
- The Proto-stealer and Guard of the Primogenitor are my way of including genestealers without taking them as troops. Plus I wanted something more akin to a Patriarch, and the Cryptus model is as big as a Dreadnought so I'm using it as a counts as instead.

All in all, its a list dedicated to blowing the gak out of stuff whilst killing itself

I Killz You By Killing Myself

Brilliant list, anyone would have a ton of fun using it. Have you had any test games yet?

Oh god no, I've nowhere near enough models for it yet tbh. I'd be lucky if I have half atm. I'm in no rush either really. Having too much fun building and converting really.

I also seem to be lucky, that once I've written a list I'm happy with on paper, that it just about nearly always works on the board. The only exception was my normal Bug list, when using a hive crone, the poor thing dies on its own too much, so I removed it in favour of two T-cytes until I buy it a friend to fly with. Other than that I've got a good track record with lists. Mainly as a gamer, I play the odds and take more risks than most I feel. As thats what I feel the game is all about really.

What I own is marked in Red

HQ:
Proto-stealer: (Counts as Hive Tyrant using the spawn of Cryptus model) Lashwhip & Bonesword, Mawclaws of Thyrax, Regen, Adrenal Glands, Ymgarl factor.
Guard of the Primogenitor: (Counts as Tyrant Guard using converted Broodlord models) x3 with Lashwhip & Bonesword, Adrenal Glands.

Troops:
Mucolid Spore.
Mucolid Spore.

Fast Attack:
Meiotic Spore Brood: x6. x3, Inc: 12 Spore mines for production.
Meiotic Spore Brood: x6.

Heavy Support:
Sporocyst.
Sporocyst.

Formations:
Deathleapers Assassination Brood: Deathleaper, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor, Lictor.
Sporefield: Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6.
Sporefield: Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Mucolid Spore, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6, Spore mines x6.

I also need 4 Spore mines per Meiotic Spore in case I max on the dice rolls. As It stands after accounting for the Sporefields I have 15 over, which is the 3 Meitoics I own with 3 mines over. In addition I need 2 extra Mucolid for Sporocyst production, and I figure any Spore mines I produce from them will be taken from Spore mine casualties.

For a fun list, this requires SOOO much thinking about lol...

Lots of spores! I also just posted pics of the Fallout Rending Claw monster,,,,,My Death-claw.

Wearing Power Armor? any armor? no good, those claws ignore it totally!

Very WIP...

Lol that's how I'm feeling about the proto-stealer.

Loving the paint job btw Shas, still need to get me one of those...

I like the way that spore is anchoring to that post.

and thanks, more angles on my thread show off the work more, and "Mr. Scratchers" thanks you too.,

Thank you, and I had a look, just forgot to comment lol

Oh and in FO-3, I avoid the northern maps early on, and try to be extra neaky at the Super-duper mart to avoid getting attacked by Death Claws, they have the most lethal of hugs!

Lol I've still yett to finish it tbh... I really should go back...


*squeals with joy at next week's pre orders*

Necron Pre-orders? or the New Nid ForgeWorld stuff? Necron Overlord in plastic looks good, almost 30bucks for plastic though.........

I had not seen that. BUT as I have Crons, the Necron stuff caught me.

Oh I have Necrons too, but they can wait tbh. Eldar on the other hand is an obsession for me, much like my bugs, and I've been waiting for a Harlequins codex since the Citadel Journal army list in the 90's... I cannot wait. Especially as the Solitaire is back as a one man killing machine

I like the spore that hugs up there. He makes me happy.

I'm not sure you'd want it to hug you... you'd end up a bit dead

Thanks Pandapop

Liking the spore thing caressing the girder. Good idea.

First three mucolid done, regular mucolid for comparison only...

Oh and I did this too (still WIP)...

In truth, it is the kind of army I'd run, so I'm very jealous.

Nothing stops you from doing the same tbh Brian, so go for it if that's what your after! Nothing to be jealous of at all tbh.

Nice head swap on the lictor. I did the same with a brood lord from the death box kit.

All my lictors have those heads bar Deathleaper, as the usual Lictor heads are awful imo. I've two more to get to finish the brood off, but gw are out of stock on the website, so I'm having to wait a little longer now :-/

Leaping Lictor! plenty of GS work for those extended joints.

Meranwhile, I had done a test for a pattern I was going to use on a Tyranid army when I seriously contemplated a consuming horde force. I based it off the Leopard Shark patterns.

Yes, he has metal laced claws and spikey bits.

And here he is facing off against a very lucky and heroic figure of the Imperium of Man
