Tyranid Attack!!

Old school Tyranids with a crayola-colored paint scheme, as seen with the panoramic setting in the new ios. 

Predator Deathleaper

With a throaty purr and the sound of a telescoping blade, this special character Lictor joins the swarm.

Alien Broodlords

Converting Broodlords to fit my Aliens-themed Tyranid list involved pinning, and secreted resin.

Alien Queen / Swarmlord Detail

I am quite pleased with how the Alien Queen turned out.  Here are some close-up shots of the model, displaying the detail of the base embellishments.

Alien Tyrant Guard Conversion

Aliens-themed bodyguards with lash whips?  Easy.

Converted Tyranid Prime

An Alien Prime to help keep the swarm in order?  Weyland-Yutani would be impressed.

Alien Color Recipe and Results

Here is the color treatment I used on the Aliens project I recently completed. 

Aliens project complete.

Three thousand points, painted in four days.

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

To the Nostromo, from Hong Kong

We all like to get hugged, right?  And we all have faces, yes?

Alien Color Test

With HR Giger's painting NYCII as inspiration, I have begun testing colors for the Aliens project.

Huge Pile of Resin Alien Heads

Sanding, washing, clipping and cleaning.  Resin takes a slow hand.

Alien Queen Scale Test

The title of "Swarmlord" is gender neutral!

Trouble Brewing

Looks a bit like 120 Genestealers.
