Tyrannosaurus FEX!

With the Nid codex, half the important stuff doesn't have a model. As such, I am forced to be creative (darn)! I have kit bashed a bunch of carnifex kits to build my two tervigons, but it is my tyrannofex that i am most impressed with. I wanted to give him a unique feel. He is supposed to be a massive armored beast with a big shooty gun, but the codex pictures appear to endow him with a very large and in charge gun in the form of a giant phallus. I opted against this protruding penis gun and decided to beef up his arms. The end result looks a little something like this:

His gun attaches to his middle set of arms and rests just below his belly. i decided to magnetize the gun so i can swap it out for the rupture cannon at a different time.

The little grey spot on his chest and the grey spot on the gun are the magnets. I like this picture because he looks like he wants his belly rubbed. I'm hoping to finish painting him soon.

The Hive is Building

I've recently begun to paint all the figures needed to participate in a 2000 pt Warhammer 40k tournament in MD. My nids are in various stages of completion but i'm hoping to pump them all out by tournament day in 2 weeks! This blog shall document my progress. May i present to you, Hive Fleet "Lictor? I barely Knew her!"

You can see the beginnings of my display board which will feature 2 hills and a lot of style ;)
Updates to come!
