Why don't you add a pic of the green warrior ?

Thanks for the possitive feedback guys. I'm trying to squeeze in as much painting as possible in a quite busy schedule, last year of university takeing alot of time and effort.

But I'm putting my Zoanthrope together atm. An aweful mini to assemble perfectly. Somehow I actually managed to cut up my finger with one of its talons (you know, those 6 mm talons, lol), but he should be based and ready to get painted for tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have pics in the weekend.

Four hormagaunts comming up soon aswell. I gotta find some way to come by hormagaunt talons for my former spinegaunts, or I'll have to go for Devilgaunts with hormagaunt bodies. Any thoughts on wether or not mixing of horma/terma bodies is ok in a squad?

Joe, which green warrior do you refere to? Cannot recall I've got anything green painted, besides my Orc and Goblin army that'll have to wait until my tyranids are finished, even thou its a 60% finished 2250 pts army.

Some days I have such a strong urge to just not give a (please do not swear) about the future and spend a year painting up the armies I want

Oh well, back to the zoanthrope!

Pretty!

Your green blends are superb Sliver, and I love your Warrior conversions - the lack of a head crest is a nice nod to the Space Crusade/2nd 'ed models.

I say mixing Hormagaunt and Termagant bodies is fine. My Spinegaunt brood is about 50/50.
I have to admit that I'm not too fond of Devourers on the Hormagaunt bodies though.

If you're lacking the Hormagaunt talons; have you tried the Genestealer arms instead? They're not quite as elegant, but they'll probably look nice enough when mixed in with 'regular' models.
