2' x 4' worth of Pink Nids.

So I finally got around to taking some pictures of my tyranid army(painted models only, I have 45-50% more that are still in progress) that I have been working on for the past 6-7 years. I apologize for vastness of the shots;I didn't have the time to do individual unit shots.
















edit: reread what I wrote; was a bit confusing before on the amount that is actually complete

MiniMan's Montreal Conflict 2004 Best Painted Army

For your viewing pleasure MiniMan is going to start showing off his painting talents here. To help him get under way I have posted his award winning army from the 2004 Montreal Conflict. Hopefully we can get him to start posting his new work once he has a working digital camera. Enjoy!

The 411th Royal Cadian Regiment

Following the theme of putting my armies up on display, here is my Imperial Guard force. I started playing guard because they are awesome, and I wanted enough anti-tank guns that a Mech Eldar list wouldn't dominate me again. I won best overall at Conflict Ottawa 2006 with this army and was one vote away from winning best presentation at the Canadian Grand Tournament 2007.

This isn't a straight Cadian list, it is a doctrine list and includes:

Iron Discipline
Allow Enginseers
Allow Orgyns
Close Order Drill
Sharp Shooters

Hq
Jr Officer with Power fist, bolt pistol, Honourific Imperialalis, Refractor field and Trade mark item
Command Squad with Medic, 2 x Meltagun and vox caster
Elites
Enginseer with 4 technical servitors and Chimera with Multi-laser and hull heavy bolter
10 x Orgyns with bone 'ead
Troops
Infantry Pl
Jr Officer with Power fist, laspistol and surveyor
Command Squad with Medic, Lascannon, grenade launcher

Squad 1
Lascannon and Plasmagun, Sgt with CCW and laspistol

Squad 2
Lascannon and Plasmagun, Sgt with CCW and laspistol

Armoured Fist Squad
Lascannon, Meltagun and vox caster mounted in Chimera with Multi-laser and hull heavy bolter

Fast Attack
Sentinel with Lascannon

Hellhound with extra armour

Heavy Support
Leman Russ with Hull and Sponson heavy bolters and extra armour

Leman Russ Demolisher with Hull and Sponson heavy bolters and extra armour

Basilisk with indirect fire training


I always try and deploy my guardsmen Platoon into cover and they try and kill enemy tanks. I use my Russ and Basilisk to try and kill as much infantry as possible. The Demolisher advances with the Enginseer, Orgyns and Command Squad towards the objective. So far the only army which has really beaten this was a all marine army loaded with lascannons.

Assault Pack Lupus

I started playing 40k during Rogue Trader and when the first Codex came out for 2nd ed. I was sold and have had a Space Wolf army ever since. Although the wolves of Fenris have changed quite a bit over the years their appeal as space vikings is as strong as ever. I have managed to win best general at Montreal Conflict 2004, best overall at Montreal Conflict 2005, and best theme at Arena Montreal 2007. This is a list of what I currently have in my 1700 Hall of Hero's Tournament list.

Hq
Rune Priest with Frost Blade and bolt pistol

Wolf Priest with Crosius, bolt pistol and arcanum
Venerable Dreadnought with Assault cannon, Dread CCW, Storm bolter and extra armour
Elites
Dreadnought with twin-linked lascannon, Dread CCW, heavy flamer and extra armour

Scouts with 2 x power weapons, Meltagun lead by a Wolf guard with Power fist and bolt pistol
Troops
10 x Grey Hunters with Power weapon, Power fist, Meltagun in Rhino with extra armour

9 x Grey Hunters with Power weapon, Power fist, Meltagun in Rhino with extra armour
9 x Blood Claws with Power weapon, Power fist, Flamer in Rhino with extra armour
Fast Attack
Land Speeder Tornado with Assault Cannon and Heavy Bolter

Land Speeder Tornado with Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer

Land Speeder Tornado with Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer

Heavy Support
Whirlwind

I will normally deploy them so the Grey Hunter squads will lead the advance into the enemies flanks or accept their charge to then be counter charged by the Blood Claws. Each of the IC lead one of the 9 man squads. The Wolf Priest leading the Blood Claws, evaluating them, and the Rune Priest leads the Grey Hunters. The only force I have ever had a challenge beating is a Mech Eldar list, where hitting with the melta weapons is critical to success.
