Robots In Disguise: Mecha Tyranids Converted Army

By Rob Baer | November 13th, 2017 | Categories: Army Showcase, Tyranids, Warhammer 40k

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?
