Interesting choice of colours. I like the contrast between the carapace and the flesh of the tervigon. also I thought that the idea of termagants arriving out of the tervigon covered in amniotic fluid or blood to be pretty awesome. very creative and good job!

Nice paint job, good contast of colours.

On the final image where you have the tervigon comparison to the hive tyrant, how tall is the new plastic model, could you give me dimensions please.

As far as I have been told its around 12cm tall, but from your image it seems taller than that.

Couple Questions i Saw sorry if i Missed any,
twinnie
Blood: Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint X-27, started with Mechrite red, light coat of Tamiya, waited 10min brushed to give it some time to dry, mixed Tamiya and Badab black to get some darker blood and went over it again, waited another 10min did some light dry brushing with Blood Red and Gloss Varnish to keep the shine but give some brightness to the coming Gaunt.

Mordhel
Hive Tyrant is 3 3/4" almost exactly. Tervigon is 5" on the money Note: the cork board i used for the basing adds 1/8" of a inch per sheet.

Glad people are enjoying the pics!

I'm assuming that the 5" is to the to of the smoke stacks? Also any chance we could get a side on with both the tervy and the tyrant for scale comparison, without perspective distortion getting in the way
