Tyranids: Biovore 5th edition

I like the 3rd edition model better and I don't even have the other ones in between...
also, this is still a metal kit instead of the current resin version which is more expensive than it's weight in gold I think...

5th edition Biovore
It still needs to be based and varnished, but that's just a formality.

20 Tyranid Gargoyles

20 Tyranid Gargoyles aprox 100-120h of work  finished!.
The time it took to build and paint these is a rough estimate, but it's up there'ish. But in the end it's worth every minute of it. *Click to enlarge*

Zoanthrope (s) January 2012

In early december I posted a basecoated zoanthrope and somewhere in the end of december 2011 I finished it. Since I had three older Zoanthropes I thought I'd take some pictures of those too.

The new one is made of resin and has to be straigthened out a bit...



The other 3 in the picture are made of metal

I've had this one (and the rest of his/her whatever..sq) for quite some time..but only started painting them a week or 2-3 back. I don't exactly know how much time I put in it, but at this rate, I've got one done every 2 weeks..which is far too slow.

But I think work will be done faster now. Oh and about the little plant on the base..my brother's got the right paint for that atm..so I'll finish that later.











*40K jargon*: I've equiped them with carapace just before 5th ed came out, and then they changed the way rending works..which to put it bluntly..SUCKS! I played one game (can you say proxy) with them and found that it's cheaper and better to get them talons so I was happy that I wasn't finished modelling on them by far. So people just have to see past the carapace now most of the time.
