r/Tyranids

I went to the Imperial Veterinary they told me she was pregnant but I’m not 100% sure so I thought I’d ask here on Reditum, picture of daily nap

Couple more projects I finished up recently, starting with the bug that’s deleted more models off the table than any other in my roster- the humble Acidfex. Bonus Screamer-Killer with magnetized goo for extra battle shock

Hive mind! I seek opinions!
Ok so ive had this nagging idea in my head that there has to be a way to make POM at least a little usable, even if its not competitive. The idea is pretty straightforward, keep harvesters next to other units so the opponent has to either waste time removing the harvester or risk getting their damage revoked by regeneration. all while the POM's score secondaries and harass infantry and hopefully spawn more harvesters in the process. Below is the list ive come up with, can you all see anything that would fit the theme and make it better while still utilizing the mechanics in place? or is it just a doomed idea? Thanks in advance!

Here's the code if you want to import it yourself: PHTE4ZBA

Hey, what shade should I use for the light areas? I'm worried the mini will end up way too purple if I paint the bony parts with Carroburg Crimson now. But right now, I still feel like something's in those areas is missing / he looks more like a skeleton at the moment.

Still need to do the base, a gloss and some touch ups but, outside of that done.

I've seen some nice hive fleet Jormungandr paint schemes last year (in Phill Kellys Style) and decided that i want to try it out myself. Though, i put a slight spin on it. After a few gaunts i tried some monsters and i like how they turned out.

New to 40k and new to Tyranid's, picked up an army off Ebay and decided to bring Hive Fleet Gaia to fruition. How did I do?

Hello fellow biomass,

I was asked to play something other than bipedal lifeforms, and thought the raveners were the hottest sh*t since toast bread.

Hive fleet Chimera grows and the pile of shame dwindles! This one is based off a purple jewel beetle

Excited to get these built and painted!

Hello guys!
I've wanted to share my first painted army so far.
If you have any tipps for the coloring scheme or ideas - please let me know.

My Idea was/is a Neon Genesis Evangelion, Green Goblin, Synthwave aspect.
I love the color pink/violett and green. I wanted something Toxic and alien like.
I didn't paint all 9 hormagants together so every 3 model are slighty different bc of improvement. ^^

P.S. Psychophage is 3D Printed - I think this model looks cooler than from GW.
Im not THAT safisfied with the psychophage yet - something is missing... But Im not sure what.

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards,
Lara

I love doing my bases almost more than the models lol

The model looks way too cool to just be an action monkey

Been a very busy week and a half or so at work so I havent gotten to work on the hive fleet as much as Ive wanted to. Though today, I managed to finish building everything as well as making custom flying bases for the gargoyles.

Since everyone seemed to like the first test model, I'll do my best to post updates on progress until the entire 2k army is finished.

Few progress photos as well as the test model for thr Gargoyles. Hopefully will have a Warrior painted up this weekend if work permits as well as the world giving me a break. (Last week was the big 3-9 and everyone was on vacation so I covered some shifts.)
