Good bye Hive Fleet Keresian :(

[rippedoffface]

Hello Hive. I'm going to use this thread to post images of my finished models. Most recently I finished painting my Tyranid prime and a Zoanthrope.






I will be posting more soon! You can also check out my thread called "Hive Fleet Keresian- Object source lighting. Comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks I will! I've got 6 hormagaunts and a Tyranid Warrior with barbed strangler just about finished that I will post.

Nice work! More please!

[Graymulkin]

These are amazing!

[Squire]

I really like these!

I'm going to get a box of the new warriors for that prime. I won't field it as such but mixed weapons at least let me represent my elite warrior leader guy on the table without paying through the nose for him. Hopefully it'll look a lot like your one!

[mrreznor]

[gigasnail]

i love that prime's bonesword. blood effects are so easy to overdo. yours are about perfect imo.

[rippedoffface]

Thank you everyone! Here are some Raveners that I finished up last weekend. I'll be posting pics of the warrior and hormagaunts soon. Also I have a friend who is going to take better pictures of my Army tomorrow so I'll have a bunch of new pics soon.

Thanks yeah I didn't want to overdo it. The sword is so cool looking. I'm a huge fan of the new blood paint that GW put out.

You should the new kit is waay better then the original. lots of different weapons and a lot more flexibility in the poses for them.

[Squire]

The raveners are looking good! What else do you have lined up? (besides warriors and terms)

I will. The kit doesn't look any different apart from the prime parts, boneswords and whips, but I loved the warriors as they were anyway and the new stuff is icing on the cake for me

I messed up with one of my warrior units and bought six pairs of forgeworld boneswords for them, and later (after painting) decided I wasn't going to field them like that. I hacked the arms off (not very well) and magnetised the upper limbs for swords or talons, but still haven't got around to repainting. I'm so annoyed with myself for butchering them I'll quite possibly buy two boxes of the new warriors and re-do them from scratch. A costly error- what an idiot

[Davor]

Wow. Seeing the first pic and the position of the Prime (I think it's a prime) looks really menacing. I find it so hard to pull of bone very well. You did it. Great job, looking forward to more. Love the Raveners as well.

Squire: Thanks! I'm working on a flyrant right now. I'm thinking I should be close to done with that this coming weekend. The new warrior kit doesn't seem much different but its way better crafted especially in the parts for the heads. in the old warrior kits i always had a hard time getting the faces to line up with the heads without weird gaps but this kit fixed that problem. you can also rotate the heads a lot better too. As far as the butchered warriors I totally messed up magnetizing 3 of them and decided oh well screw it I'll just forget that i put magnets in there and glue the limbs on that I want. Instead of buying a whole new warrior kit I just bought the arms from a bits seller on ebay for like 3 bucks.

These are all the models I got finished this week. If you look at the warrior with the barbed strangler THAT was one that I messed up magnetizing


Davor: Thank you very much! It is a Prime. The new warriors kit is excellent.

List of things I still have to paint so Plenty to work on:
6 Hormagaunts
like 50 termagants
11 Genestealers (got them on ebay and are primed terribly. need to strip the paint)
Flyrant (in progress)
Carnifex number 2 (Haven't decided how to build it yet)
4 Warriors ( I like painting one of these while assembly lining the gaunts because it breaks up the monotony)
3 Raveners
Hive Crone (I've run out of room in my current case so am waiting to work on this one)
Exocrine/Hauruspex (Same as the hive crone)

If you want to see everything I've done so far though you can look here: MY HIVE FLEET ON FLICKR

I made sure to take some pics of process in there if people are interested. I'll post new pics of the models on there once I get some better photography (Not just oven light and model sitting on a pot haha)
