Firstly thank you for the love guys, its fuels the enthusiasm.
Some WIP stuff for you.
Firstly I like the idea of seeing other peoples work stations. So since mines a complete mess and in utter disarray at the moment heres mine.
The Hive Guard, in pieces for ease of painting, not that exciting just i see people discussing build then paint vs paint then build. This is what i do, obscuring parts get added later but I mostly build first. If you look closely at the back you'll see the hive guards heads have been drilled and put on paperclips. Just to offer a handhold for when I'm painting them. However it also rather looks like they have annoyed some sort of tyrant and been placed on pikes as a warning.
Next time I get the magnets out I'll show you my limb tree. A bit of metal I keep for sticking magnetised parts to when the paints drying. On the Carnifexes it got quite ridiculous.
Early stage Malanthrope conversion, the ruins are being used to offer the model height. Since the Malanthrope lost its monstrous creature status I don't feel the actual bug should be as huge anymore. Its basically Warrior sized in terms of stats. So I'll be using a Venomthrope, the ruin for height and some extravagant tail work to display its grasping tail rule. It should cover more or less the same dimensions as the proper model whilst looking rather unique.
Finally the first three of my Maelstrom objectives. Tyranid eggs which have hatched. Very simple to make, you can see one based and undercoated and two just left to set. IN game terms they are obvious objectives, for Maelstrom I'll be making 1-6 with the objective number displayed by the number of eggs on the base. So objectives 1-3 built. They are also basically just me using up my left over Milliput/Green stuff from other stuff.
Hope you all like them, would love some feedback on the Malanthrope, I know it won't be to everyones taste but I hope its not just me toying with alternative ideas.
