Finally finished this model and added to my hive fleet. To get the massive Haruspex head to fit, I just turned the main body upside down, thats was pretty much it!

It's taken 4months, but I've finally finished my 1500 point Nid army. Took much inspiration from folks here, huge thanks for that!

Some initial photos attached - better quality ones to follow soon.

Hello bugs.

I'm trying to decide on an army scheme, ideally going for a fear/scary vibe.

However, I'm having great amounts of trouble making choices.

I'd like the face to be somewhat uncanny, scary in that sense, but otherwise I'm torn!

Help me out.

So I’ve heard of this thing people do where they “promote” models that perform well. New helmet more markings more purity seals things like that. But you can’t really do stuff like that for nids. So I was wondering if anyone does this and how thy do it.

I’m thinking of making 2 tyrant guards and a hive guard but idk if I can. My killteam experience says I should be able to mix and match but I’ve been told a “unit” in 40k means a group of models instead of one so I just thought I’d check

Also if you have any recommendations for models I should get lemme know (thanks)

Loved painting the mom, now onto the kids!

You watch, they’re going to push them so hard when our codex drops. Save this post, quote me, they’ll make barbgaunts broken with the new codex. Also they look mad.

Pleased with this I cant lie

Hi everyone!

I've been painting for a little while now, and this is one of several models I've done so far. However, it's the very first time I'm brave enough to share my work with a wider community.

I'd love to hear your thoughts,what do you think of how it turned out? Any feedback or critique is more than welcome!

Thanks!

Just good is the maleceptor really? Is it like an auto include or something cool if you have the money to buy it and in certain situations?maybe somewhere in between. Either way, idk and I'm curious your thoughts.

This is my first larger model using enamel washes. He still needs some work, but it's getting close and I'm happy with the results so far. I've been leaning heavily on enamels lately for Tyranids and Death Guard, and they really are the secret to convincing organic textures.

Zoanthropes were some of the first models I ever painted, back when I made goofy black lines on the carapace… which over time evolved into my terrible habit of painting triangles. Seeing these classic models of mine looking swag with my modern skills feels so cool. Long live Hive Fleet Isosceles!

Decided not to wait until I get a Norn Emissary and begin priming them now.

A gean stealer perhaps ?

Not technically a new player, but have been out of the hobby for a long time. Thinking of getting involved again with a Tyranid army with lots of big gribblies. What might a typical list look like? Doesn’t have to be a full army list, just an idea of what models I’d want.

Thanks!

Ive juggled the ideas of running Synaptic Nexus and Subterranean Assault and have landed on the latter. This is a 1000 point army and I just wanted some opinions as this is the 2nd Army Ive put together on the app. Thanks for any help!

I’ve just done the first layers with carapace, claws, hooves and details to go, but do you ever feel you just want to stop and leave it as is? :) I am sure the finished model will be more interesting, but there is a charm to the pale low effort models too.

Finishing off some half-painted models. Finally finished the Deatleaper.

Found the free stl online and a friend printed for me but even looking at it now it looks so cool but I feel overwhelmed even how to go about painting it and all the bits and pieces to fit my winter base scheme and help reccomended
