Rip dat model

Geetings from Newerth! Due to strange and unforeseen circumstances, this blog had been infiltrated by the mighty, 'Financially-under zealous gamer!' (I was bribed with a cheeseburger). As I take the leap into new and uncharted Nerdolitry, I'll continue to keep you posted on my amazing finds of awesome.



To start off, I thought I'd post a little something I found on the nett. As a new Tyranid player, I find the whole theme of my chosen race to be amazing. None other can compare. Probably one of my favorite parts of making Tyranid mobs is the ability to mix and match several different parts to other units... I had even gone as far to put FIVE WHOLE RIPPERS onto one stand (I was told 3 would be sufficient).

I thought I was pretty baller ay. LITTLE DID I KNOW MR COOL KID HAD PUT EVEN MORE ON. How much more you ask? well.




I think he's compensating for something.

Afk, adding more rippers to base >.>

Kinky

Well its a matter of personal preference isnt it?

Do i want an army vulnerable to instant death mechanics and plagued by morale saves. bogged down in countless rules and special abilities?
No, no i dont. Not really anyway.

I have chosen Chaos Daemons because the issues arent well..an issue...

and honestly, can you tell me this isnt a damn slight better to look at.




















than this..

yeah thats what i thought too...

The competition has begun!

Hello friends.

Today was the first day all four of us had gotten together. Fiddly had just purchased his new Eldar Battleforce while Fuz had dug up a box of Tyranids hidden deep beneath the earth. Blind is having some sultry sweet daemonettes shipped in special from America, 'just for him. Meanwhile I am busy setting to work on my Black Reach Space Marines. Need to come up with a good colour scheme. Hmm...

We spent the better part of five hours working away on our miniatures. Fiddly turned up late but was was quick to get into the swing of things, belting out guardian after guardian in his industrial construction yard. Fuz, bastard 'nid player that he is, managed to get three times as many models assembled as myself, pausing only to laugh as I struggled with my captains' bike. All the while Blind strafed the shadows of the Hall, occasionally stopping to reveal new esoteric wisdom from the latest ancient text he had "recovered".

Here are some photos of the group.

Blind_Watcher sporting his customary one-eyed stare.

Fiddly Bits hard at work getting rid of those "paint lines".

Fuz giving the team his very best troll face, "U mad bro?"

The colour scheme I came up with in the Dawn of War 2 army painter. Very halloween.

The first six tactical marines, biker-mounted captain and melta dreadnaught undercoated and ready to begin painting.

I think I'll leave that for another day.
