K, so I built some tyranid terrain for when I fight my friends nids what do ya guess think of these pieces. I put some models next to them for comparison.

Here's my brood nest

So what do ya guess think of my FIRST tyranid terrain.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors warhammer."

I'm sure it's a commandment, somewhere.

It was going to be a brood nest (much bigger than this first one) and was going to some small acid pools around it, any ideas on it?

nice. very good start! i did something similar for my brood nests, cept i put little bots of ripper, gaunt and spore mine coming out of the holes. XD and a few more tenticles. lol
i like though! how did you get the holes in the foam? the look melted, not just cut.

The swamped marines look good and maybe have a half buried rhino in it for the future

I'm just starting a new piece for the nids its gona be small but sweet.

azgodeth the brood nest I made by taking a match and melting small holes in the foam. And to everyone else I agree the dirt looks to level I'll try making it more bumpy and rocky on this next piece.

Hey munky42 I agree a melting tank would look sweet but I don't feel like buying a tank just to melt it.
