Now Hissy just WHAT do you think of that? Look at all the support I have from my Human Brothers and Sisters.

TOO LATE READERSSS, HISSY ALREADY ONE STEPSSS AHEAD




Nooo!



And what isss more Hissy hasss evolved. Evolved beyond your mossst terrifying dreamsss.

ALL HAIL SSSUPER HISSY




Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Run people RUN!

(PS we do have an update except my stupid iphone is doing a software update so I'll get the finished pod pictures up later).

Luckily I’ve got Chaplain Cassius and a drop pod of Tyranic War Veterans on standby.


Can’t have Hissy eating Ratius now, can we?

<Dakka dakka>

RUN RATIUS!

*gets out the popcorn to watch Hissy win*

After stompy's done you best convert up a hydraphant for Hissy!

I love Hissy's dreams.

I think I'm going to need some more Deathstrike missiles.

Bwahahahaha. FRESH MEAT FOR HIVE! YUMMY!!!



You sort of asked for that one Nev

Hissy wants to remind you she sees 10 marines in your picture and 178 in hers.

Dinners is ssserved!!!

I love Hissy's dreams.

Sssssh, dont tell her that. I tried to explain what a salary related job was to her once. She had none of it.

I think I'm going to need some more Deathstrike missiles.

If you load them with spore fungus, it gives her a wicked hangover. Might at least keep her quiet for a bit.....

So Hissy, Pod-tastic huh?



Pod-tastic.

I was thinking though Hissy, how on Earth does a Carnifex get out of one of those without blowing it apart? He definitely cant squeeze out the hole in the top.



.....

Hissy?

Hissy not sssure. Hissy confusssed. Hissy be back.

Well dont take too long figuring it out.



Maybe we should pose her like a "question of the week" something really confusing. Might keep her head down some.

Hissy back.

Too late.....
Well?

Norn Queen say Pod poop Carnifex out the bottom.

I see. Im not entirely sure thats plausible but I cant see how a big old Carni gets out any other way without ripping the poor Pod to shreds. Remember Hissy after they land thay can move about.

Hissy know that. Hissy not ssstupid.

Hissy not really interested in inner workings of Hive beastiesss, jussst that they give Hive more power and Galactic Domination.

Well, that they do. Up next is our Mucalids and mini spores. We will have 2 Mucas and 18 minis when done. Is that enough to tie up a corner of the battlefield?

Yesss. Hissy bomb idiot gunlinesss to goo.

Thats the spirit Hissy!

Just the tip of the spear Hissy. I’ve got over 200 marines backing them up. When your gribbly little hordes are being outnumbered by the Emperor’s Finest, you should ask yourself if it’s a fight you want to be involved in. Once again: No Eating Ratius! Be nice to him, and someday your hive might be big enough to take me on.

Although full disclosure, If I’m emptying the shelves to fight off a tyranid invasion, my 6 genestealers are probably going to turn on me.
(also, I need to get a new full army picture)

Not to really paint a gross picture, but a Carnifex could come out that hole at the top. I mean... we don't know exactly how elastic they are.
*shudder*

Well, they are nightmare horrors from another galaxy, so that would probably be appropriate.

Crunchy Marines isss Crunchy.
Besides Mr. Nevelon, everyone knowsss full well if Hissy goesss SuperHissy, your army stand no chance.

Im having bad flashbacks to the end of Prometheus being honest.

Me too.

I'll send help for your Vets Nev, in the form of the entire Ultramarines 2nd Company! (minus Sicarus because he's a dingus, I have my own Captain)

Well, this has escalated quickly... but we all know what happened when our Hive Minds first fleet did some major damage to the silly Ultramarines... We have evolved ourselves and tactics since then haven't we Hissy?

In relation to your tyrannocyte question Ratius, the description in the rules says: "The Tyrannocyte thunders through the skies to slam into the surface of the prey world, this impact causes its belly to split and disgorge the Tyranids inside. Once passengers delivered the tyrannocyte fills with gaseous emissions and floats eerily into the air"

So yeah, it hits, splits, then re- inflates and floats around shooting and being annoying. I might model one that has it's split belly still while floating around, that would be suitably gruesome.

Nice pods Ratius/hissy. Don't forget the bases!

EDC

Look at that Hissy.

Mad 1 - 0 Norn Queen and Hissy.

Mad ssstole that idea from Hissy.

Im pretty sure he didnt.

Hissy knowsss, Hissy seen Mad in brooding chambers with pen and notepad lassst week.

Hissy seen him trying to take notesss on Hive. Hissy sees you Mr Mad. Next time, Hissy send Lunchstealersss after you.

Well maybe Mad was just checking out your wonderful Hive?

Shut up Ratiussss..

Well anyway Hissy, instead of having a lovely lie in on my day off work or play some Blood Bowl, I got to finishing the Mucas and Spores.

Ohhhhh my, what a hard life poor Ratiusss hasss. Ohhhh Ratiusss what can Hissy do for do? Would poor Ratiusss like a little medal?

Errrm, ok sure I'll take a medal for my efforts.

Shut up Ratiusss. Hissy making you massage her feet after thisss.

But my day off

Well anyways

Spores. That gives us 18 in total Hissy.



Hmmm, 6 groupsss of 3 would be nice to play.

Yes indeed.

And the finished Mucalids. These were quite fun to paint and I decided to keep them fairly simple but in keeping with the Hive theme. I left the tentalces mainly white and red to fit the Hive and washed the top with carabourg crimson again. Some minor bits of purple and we were done.







And the two of them finished.



Them and the spores took about 2 hours which wasnt bad going.

Pfff. Should have been much fassster.

Heres our whole sporefield Hissy including our old metal biovore spores. it takes up about two fifths of a board so lots of area denial.



Feet time Ratiusss.

Great work on the spores and mucalids! I like how well the hive fleet colors worked on them!

- Azalle

Those mucalids look really nice with the wash!

Hissy, there is no stealing in service to the hive mind!

We are all part of one big Hive Fleet remember? Synaptic web of information for us to utilise to neutralise our food before we eat it. I mean when Swarmy "dies" he gets reabsorbed into our collective consciousness and respawns basically rendering him immortal.

Although, the "title" under my name currently says sneaky lictor, so maybe I am pulling the wool over your eyes still


Your scheme suits the mucolids really well ratius, nice work

Thanks guys

Ok Mad, you left off the hook thisss time.....
As long as you send extra biomasss over to Hissy.

So Hissy we're finished the pods, mucas and spores now.
Heres a group shot of them all done.



Whats next in line?

Thatsss question for you Ratiusss.

Well to be honest Im not sure. I'll get stompy and ase him up but after that we literally have no kits (biomass) to work on.

What?!

Eh, well yeah. We've gone through quite a lot last year.

Theresss lots of genusss Hive can spawn. Venoms, Harus, more scenery, Harridans.

Harridans?! Sheeesh, way to final put me on the street Hissy. A Harridan is definitely NOT on the cards this side of Xmas 2016.
But more scenery is quite a good idea.

Well, less belly aching Ratiussss and more scenery making.

Quite the poet oh High Queen.

Nice little bundle of floating death there!

You know, it's kind of funny to skim through this full blog, from first post to present day. Not only does the hive grow, but the color scheme and painting expertise improves, or should I say, evolves, over the course of the blog. Interesting to look at it that way, if I do say so myself.

tl;dr nice job, looking forwards to seeing what else you have in store!

Thank you mighty Hissy for letting me off the hook.

Congrats on finishing everything you have "in stock" I look forward to seeing what terrain you come up with and what the next Tyranid addition might be

See, Hissy is a benevolent leader so long as you offer her delicious biomass.

Speaking of... I um.... Hissy... because of that stupid human football pass time, I ..... was sorta not able to work on my biomass this week.

Ratius told me you wouldn't mind.

Spores, pods and muc's look great. Great work .

What scenery have you got in mind?

Thanks Klin, welcome to the blog

Im thinking of more of this type of stuff EDC but maybe on a bigger scale. Or buying one of the bigger GW kits and really making it look like its been Hissied.
Its cheap and easy to make and turned out pretty well I think.



So Hissy we have an update on Stompy tomorrow.

A good one Hissy hopesss.

I cant say too much but you may not like it.

What?

Theres a problem. Thats all I'll say.....

Ratiusss

.....

RATIUSSS

.....

Ratiusss, get back here RIGHT NOW. HISSY COMMAND IT.

Wh... Wha happen?

Oh dear. I think I need to send a Valkyrie to rescue Ratius. I was gonna do it later, after some planning. But operation: feth over Hissy is a go I guess.

I hope stompy hasn't busted a leg!
