Rilian1 [Hive Fleet Niveus Partis] Blog *New 12-1*

[Rilian1]

I hesitate to use the word blog, but it kind of fits for this. Rather than starting a new thread every time I feel like posting pics of my army, I'll just stick them here.

If just setting up links to a photobucket thing would be kinder to the bandwidth of the page/peoples' modems, let me know and I'll fix it in future posts.

Finished my Carnifex, it's GAME TIME! Though I really didn't take pics of them, I'm especially proud of the hooves, they came out almost translucent looking. The teeth and mouth were another high point I think.

Repainted My Broodlord, as he used to look like garbage (one of the first minis I painted) and I'm in the process of redoing the Genestealers.

Pics!



Redone Broodlord!


And here's how he used to look--


And finally, before your computer crashes from an overload of pics, a comparison of my Genestealers. Old vs. New:


Please let me know what you think, I'm always wanting to hear advice! (Especially on the BL and Stealers, they gave me trouble with my chosen scheme to translate over to their weird carapaces)

Changed the subject to reflect new stuff

The only thing I want to critcize(sp?) are the bases, I don't see them working well with the models they classh to much.

maybe a snow base

[Swarm God]

paint seems a bit thick

[Rilian1]

I chose the base as it really contrasts from the models and sets them apart from their "background." In addition, I live in a desert, and snow is rarely seen. Besides, I look at it as almost a "beach" base, as the 'nids are supposed to resemble sharks in their colorscheme.

A Ravener, I tried some gloss varnish on him to give him a slimy wet look, and once I'm not poor, I'm going to try some epoxy resin to give him water droplets coming off of him.



OMG Smurfs! I paint SMs here and there to diversify my skills, the standard bearer came out wonderful I think, but I'm scared to do his banner.


Black Templar Castellan Draco - I really like this model for some reason, and he came with my White Dwarf Subscription, so I hope I did him justice.

Been a while since I posted anything new, but most of my painting lately has been non-Tyranid. I picked up an old model Warrior (3rd or 2nd edition I'm not sure) and did him up in my Hive Fleets colors. While he doesn't look nearly as menacing as the new models, he was still a fun project!



...like a Gaunt on crack.
