Hive Fleet Red Locust

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

So I have revamped most of my nids (better paint jobs, new models, magnetizing MC's, etc.). So here they are in all their crimson glory.

Ripper swarms:


Termagants & Spineguants:


Hormagaunts:


Gargoyles converted from Guants with wings cut from clear plastic:


New & Old Genestealers (scy tals are just for looks):


Warriors converted from Lizardmen Cold Ones:


Zoanthropes (right & left are converted from exrta bits and green stuff):


Sniper Tyrant with Guard:


Carnifexes magnetized to be Sniper or Dakka:


Lictors converted from Warrior bodies, Termagaunt w/ green stuff tendrils and 3rd ed. Ravener scything talons:


Raveners also converted from Warriors and 3rd ed. Ravener bodies:


Turn counter & mission markers:


And finally, the piece de resistance, my DakkaFlyrant converted from spare Fex parts:

Wow! You sure saved a lot of money converting all those models! I'm so jealous of your skills in with greenstuff and paint job, just amazing!

Ps: love the "converted Zoanthropes", I couldn't even tell the difference!

[The Tomato]

Wonderfull.

Wat bits were used to make the Thrope exept warrior head and monstrous vents, i cant make it out

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

Well the vents are mat board & green stuff, not montrous vents. Both Zoans heads are Carnifex heads with Warrior heads and green stuff. The Zaon on the left's body is a Warrior body and the one on the right's body id a Termagaunt body heavily cover in green stuff. And of course various claws bits attached to green stuff arms.

I'll get some better pics in a week or so.

Looks good!

[MoZeloR]

Pretty awesome stuff, good work! I have to agree that the Zoanthrope looks pretty near close to the real deal. Cheers.

Did you make that turn counter yourself?

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

I bought a jumbo foam dice at a dollar store and painted the symbols on myself

If you were a woman like 200 years ago, and warhammer existed then, you'd have been accused of being a witch! xD

[n00b1n8R]

you hand painted that?

O__o

[lowlygaunt]

Very nice work Dakka! Looks great, I agree on the conversions, they fit perfectly into the army! I love that HUGE turn counter, that is really a nice touch!

[garethinla]

Where did you get that tyranid dice? I must have it.... lol

[thatnidkid]

Those are beautiful. I especially love the dakkaflyrant, especially the stinger abdomin adds the extra buggy look.

[Koyori]

This is indeed a very nice army. Would be interesting if you decided to make something like the Red Terror or something. Keep it the great painting and converting, and post more pics.

I had made a Red Terror with a Warrior body, Carnifex head cut down for scale and the old MC scy tals, but when I got a second Tyrant, I took it apart for the parts . I also didn't have a list for the Red Terror, even though I like it a lot
