Hive Fleet Hydra

[lonelictor]

So, like most of the other users here, I've decided to make a thread devoted to my Hive Fleet with lots of pretty pictures. Enjoy!

So my Hive Fleet is somewhat small, with some Warriors, two Zoanthropes, a Carnifex, lots o' Genestealers, a Lictor, a Ravener, Termagaunts, and of course Hormagaunts. I recently got a box of Gargoyles, so once I build those they'll be a good edition to my army.

About the painting, I'm trying to paint the whole army but it takes a while. I'm a very, very slow painter because I have a habit of messing up and taking an hour to correct my mistake.

So, here's my army. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

I like where this is going, what you've done with the bases is pretty cool - kind of an alien, otherworldly lichen/moss. What colours are you planning for the carapaces?

Thanks. For some of the guys, such as the Warriors, I've finished the carpace, but for the others I'm going to use ice blue with scorpion green trim/designs.

Its been 24 hours, so I think I can bump this.

Does anyone have any advice as to any cool painting effects or conversions I can use on the big guys while still making sure they fit in with the rest of my horde?

Ill get more Termagaunts, but I play fourth so I can't exactly get a Deathleaper or Tervigon. I could get two more Lictors and a a very melee Carnifex or Hive Tyrant though. Thanks for the advice.

In case anyone is interested, I have some new pictures of a Lictor, Warriors, and my Biovore. I'm also currently working on winged warriors and I have one so far, but I won't have any pictures of that until I paint it and build two more.
