Tallarn 110th Heavy Infantry Division, C Company

Well, I figured it was time for a parade ground of my GT tourney army.
Although the grey armor units are not mine (borrowed so I could make 1850 painted points), the rest are good to go. Just finished the lascannon teams and 3 new vox casters. ooh, and I finished 2 demolition teams too out of that green stuff. i'll post battle reports (or at least photos) of how the lads hold up on Monday... Hopefully I'll win a prize for more original army (or perhaps "only fully painted Tallarn army"

Hive Tyrant Repost

I was never happy with how the pics for my Hive Tyrant turned out so I figured now that I pretty much have the whole process down I would re-shoot it :)

Tyranid Update #1 - September

I had my first tournament over the weekend and the last thing I needed to finish to play in it was this shiney new carnifex. I refined how I did some things to both speed up the painting time as well as smooth out the look on certain things. The biggest improvement on this Fex vs. the 1st one is the green seed sac for the barbed strangler. I did a lot of work making sure the green was shaded smoothly by using washes of green as well as many layers (with extreme highlights on where the seeds are pushing against the sac). Overall I am quite happy with this plucky chap

Imperial Fists test model

Hello all,

Here is my first attempt at painting yellow and creating a new Space Marine Army. The fluff for the army is that it is a Heresy era army that would have been defending a section of the Imperial Palace against Horus' traitors. I'm using the latest edition of Power Armour (Mk VII) as 60,000 sets were grabbed the Imperial Fists during their raid on Mars (from Mechanicum). Comments and suggestions welcome.

Tyranid Update # 3 - Carnifex

Last but not least my new Carnifex. I was suprised at how fast this guy was to paint. I painted the whole model in about a day in a half, which when you consider my Hive Tyrant took about 4 days to paint is pretty good :). On this Carnifex I knew I wanted to put two big guns on him and when I started fitting the model together I realized it would be a rather tight fit and very difficult to paint. So On his base I made sure I had something I could put his front foot on to raise the front of the model up and I removed some pieces off of his back to make sure the Torso piece would go on straighter and less hunched. Overall I am quite pleased with this guy.

The next updates should come quite a bit quicker as I need to finish 1 more Zoanthrope, 4 Termigants and my second Carnifex before September 19th. Once they are done then I will do 10 more Termigants, 4 Raveners and a Lictor for the Tourney in November which will bring me in at 1700pts.

Tyranid Update #2 - Zoanthropes

I have to say that these two models are two of my faves in the army so far. Incredibly fun to paint and they look super cool marching forward with the rest of the gaunts on the table top :) On the one base I have a Rhino door with some green goo. I was trying to make it look like it has been "Warp Blasted" but right now it just looks like it was slimed lol. Gonna have to add more highlights I think.

Tyranid Update #1 - Termigants

Howdy all. Its been a long time since I have done an update for the new tyranid army I have been working on. Even though not much has been going up on the site I have been working hard on it.

This is my first batch of 3 sets of Termigants. Each batch is 10 models (my second 10 will be finished this week). I mass built this squad and the one that will be posted next week with generic "grassy field" type bases and the next set of 10 will have all battle field debris with all space marine bits, then I will mix up the squads so every squad has a bit of everything :)
