My Harridan

[nikko0317]

Well to make a long story short back in January of 09 I add a harridan to my Hive Fleet. Love the model, what I didn't expect was for it to start drooping forward on the base. I tell you a harridan kissing the ground is not very fearsome, wound up cutting off the original stand and tried to put a rod in it, got the wrong size...so not having the proper tool for doing a proper flying base I decide to send off my harridan to BTP for them to make a flying stand. Any how I've include before shots and the after shots. BTP even talked me into having the harrdans paint job touched up, I agreed as long as they kept to the spirit of scheme...just wanted to share the results.

F*CKING SWEET DUDE

[cervantes]

that is just gorgeous i so want one now lol, how nuch did btp charge you for the paint job?

[logolas]

How much was it??
I mean that (please do not swear) to put it good on the base and the paint job.

[Faenar]

Very nice, love the base. The teeth look a bit strange in my oppinion though. Either way very good.

Great paint job man and BTP did an awesome job on that base. It looked like the Harridan did a swooping bombing on that tank.

that is awesome it looks good and scary now

Thank you for the compliments, the gray on the teeth I initially thought would go well on the guargantuan creatures, but now I'll probably experiment with a wash so they don't stand out as much.

Overall I paid US $310 including the stand, some objective markers and the paint retouch, the retouch was I believe $150.

Almost forgot VoragoTitan I see you are in Tacoma as well, don't know if game at the Matrix or the GW off of 72nd but when the new Tyranid Codex comes out we should see if we can talk them into setting up an Apocalypse game that way they can see what the nids are truly capable of. I can easily muster 12000 points worth.

pricey...

and i dont really go to games matrix often. im normally at the GW off 72nd when i can go.
a nid apocalypse game would be sweet, i bet the blackshirt there (cant remember his name) would probably consider it
you have alot of points too... i have abit more than 2000 and barely anything is painted as i am experementing with stuff.

I love the stance of the Harridan so much for some odd reason (slightly angled and rising upwards) . It's beautiful.

You should have seen it when we were getting the 98 degree weather this summer, heat is not good for resin.

[lazynid]

Wow - that is some impressive biomass you have there.
IMO Harridans look the best w/ Leviathan, and Leviathan looks the best with Harridans.

And the teeth. At first they were a bit tacky, but then they grew on me (They look awesome). They do stand out, but that just draws the eye up to the head, giving it a dynamic feel.

Anyways, that's one beautiful nid.

a flying tyrannosaurus that spits out baby monsters... That sounds to me like the best flipping unit in the game! BTW Excellent, convincing paint job! That's really a teriffic model!
