First up HQ , Hivy converted from the carnifex model. I tried to avoid metal as much as possible.


The brood Lord is the only metal one of course , so I like to keep some glue handy when he goes away for a fight. Here he is with is new mates.


Next up is my uberfex or godfex , loads of upgrade stuck on him , some of no real use. I think it comes in at just over 300pts. I widened the head and body to make it look a bit tougher.


Boo


Three assault carnifexes , the managment.


And my Artillery I still think the Sniperfex is usefull. I was pleased with the pose of the one aiming his VC



My cover , speedbump and general annoyance, converted flying rippers.


Some more cover for my stealers. I will give these scuttlers or without number, depending on the need.


And for a spot of outflanking, I converted these gaunts into gargoyles, two broods of eight.




I've got four , broods of twelve genestealers. I painted them black as they are ment to be scuttlers , and sneaking arround. These ones are the old space hulk type which I count as normal , and some are the new type , with the ridged backs which I count as extended carapace.


Oh and I musn't forget Itsy and Bitsy, a pair of barbed hierodules. For some long range power.


And here are a few of the whole lot.



One thing that I did forget is i also have an old armorcast Haruspex painted up , and a malefactor yet to do.

Hope you enjoyed my pics. I will put better ones in my gallery when I've painted my last model . Cheers Mike

are the hierodules from FW or are they conversions? How do they work out for you?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727897.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )

To be honest I think they might be a bit dodgy , I got them second hand off someone and the quality is not that good. Unless FW make poor casts , I think they might be copies. Thats why I only ever play them at home with friends.
They did ok in battle , my dice rolling was rubbish , but they took a few things down, and took a lot of fire away from the carnifexes who were trashing the guard armour in cc for the fun of it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727918.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) Apoc Nids.

Oh I'd love a Heirophant. I think after I've finished the Malefactor, the only thing left to get would be the plastic trygon ,( or two ) , when they come out. Have you painted that endless swarm yet. I've seen some nice pictures of one competed on "The Tyranid Hive", Assembling and painting 120 of the same model, thats realy got to mess with your head!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727964.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727966.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )

Now that I got to see. You will need a lot of rippers. Maybe you shoud start an appeal for ripper donations.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727968.page GMT Re:My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727971.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )

I would send them into the GW IP department, they if they are fakes and you tell them were you got them they will send you brand new real ones. If they are not fake then there is a high chance that they will send you some that are not badly cast.

Its worth a shot =)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/727991.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/728022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/728022.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )

FlammingGaunt.. Thanks , its ok. Its a popular version of the kraken scheme on the Tyranid Hive forum. You should check the work of some over there .

Luna... I think its something to do with them having no sex organs. Orks don't have any either and they always look pretty angry too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/728562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/728562.page GMT Re:My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )
They didn't come from official sources, and were cheap . I would guess they would be taken away and destroyed with a , " be more carefull next time", for comfort. And they took ages to paint.


It doesn't matter what source they came from:


If the products are indeed counterfeit, we will reimburse you for any postage costs and will try our best to replace any counterfeit with the genuine article. E-mail us with any information at

While it may be a pain in the ass to repaint them, if you end up with two real ones in the end I think it would be worth it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730145.page GMT My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730648.page GMT Re:My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics ) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730741.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240947/730741.page GMT Re:My Nids Apoc style ( lots of pics )

Nope the Fex are awesome, the Hierodules cover sex department. (Note to non historians, hierodules = temple prostitute, that will show you how GW chooses names )

Yes the names are a bit suspect, malefactor _ a criminal or wrongdoer , Dactylis_ a comman grass , Exocrine_ secretion through a duct , haruspex_ A priest in ancient Rome who practiced divination by the inspection of the entrails of animals. Domnatrix_ gets you some interesting results too!
