Hive Fleet Ariagnee respawned!

[thepounder]

Hello Tyranid Hive!

It’s been years since I have frequented these boards (time goes so fast!)

With the release of the Leviathan box I’ve decided to renew my love of all things gribbly.

I managed to get hold of 2 lots of the Tyranids from the Leviathan box.

Thought I’d share some progress pics, here’s the start of a new Swarm for Hive Fleet Ariagnee:

Tyranid Screamer Killer

Tyranid Avon Ryan’s Leapers

I’ve used the same muted natural colour scheme as before (that’s my style) 

Some really beautiful sculpts in this set, hopefully I can keep the updates regular.

 Thank you for looking!

Simple yet sexy. Nice work!

Thanks Jbizzy!

Basically sums me up!!

Next up a Hive Tyrant.

Like the black and pink, they work really well together.

Thanks BattleMetalChris!

I’ve finished my Hive Tyrant for Hive Fleet Ariagnee!

As I’m building towards a Synaptic Nexus list I wanted for her to look more psychic.

I saw this conversion and shamelessly copied it! I’m rather pleased with the results.

It’s been a little while since I’ve painted something for my Hive Fleet.

My boy wants me to do an “Eastern Fringe” inspired collection, that is Ultramarines, Tyranids and T’au!

I’m thinking Nid and T’au themed terrain (currently we’re using Imperial ruins and trenches)

With that in mind here’s the latest model for the Nids, I’ve gone with the Psychophage:

Thanks as always for looking!

Hopefully I can get a run on this project so plenty more to come!

Looks awesome! Really stupid questions - but what colours have you used on the mouth tentacles? They're exactly what I'm looking to achieve!

[thepounder]

Thanks gents!

J finch, not stupid at all!

I used GW paints, Cadian Fleshtone, Dark Oath Flesh, then Cadian Fleshtone with increasing amounts of Kislev Flesh. Hope that helps!

It’s been a while but I’m thinking of getting going on my Nids again.

Here’s a Brood of Termagants:
