Robots In Disguise: Mecha Tyranids Converted Army

Mecha Tyranids

What happens when you combine mechanical bits with Tyranids? You get the Mechanids, that’s what. Checkout this awesome Army Showcase from yesteryear.

Here is the full spread on the Mechanids Army that we saw waaaaaay back at Feast of Blades 2011!  This army is amazing, with tons of attention to detail, WYSIWYG mech weapons, and a real world kinda paint scheme that isn’t too cartoony.   Kudos to Allen Marshall for all his hobby efforts!

What do you think about this theme? If you could convert up a whole army, how would you do it?

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
