Here is my WIP conversion of the new Tyranid Harpy model.   It’s basically supposed to be a flying monstrous creature, so I figured I’d base it off the Carnifex and let the rest just materialize as I go.  I’ll be working on cranking out all the special Tyranid creatures over the next few months, […]

Here is my current 1850 Imperial Guard Army List. This is a pretty competitive list and won’t make you a lot of friends in casual play. I took the Pysker Battle Squad out because I feel the Psyhic Hood is a better buy for the rise of Tyranid powers and proof against the standard threats […]

Well it was a long week, but I managed to get the bases all painted up and the Nobz mounted on them. Here are the bases, all finished up and flocked.  As you can see I trimmed some of the scrap bits down from the original design to make the overall base more streamlined. Some […]

April 22nd, 2009
