Mycetic Spores

With Games Workshop currently not having a model for Mycetic Spores, a while back I bought a few "Mega Bloks - Plasma Hatchers" cheaply on Amazon. The idea was to do as little work as possible but still look good and fit in with the rest of the army.  These toys fitted my requirements perfectly.

Knowing that somewhere down the line that GW may well release a Mycetic Spore model I didn't want to spend a fortune or too much of my time on completing them. I bought 3 of them and paid about £3.00 each, so it's no big deal if I ever need to replace them with an official model. 

Back To Blogging My Tyranids.

So after what has been a longer than desired/planned break from my Tyranids I'm back to completing my army.

Over the last year I've been learning and playing 5th edition. I’ve joined a local gaming club which I attend fortnightly and have been busy building a Dark Angels army. Before I left the hobby some years ago I collected Dark Angels and Space Marines seemed like the perfect starter army to relearn 40k with. Now I'm happy I have grasped the rules again I'm ready to complete my Tyranids and hopefully get involved in the tournament scene here in the UK.

So what to expect on this blog over the next few weeks/months?

Genestealer Brood Complete.

So with a bit of painting last night and half an hour this evening I have managed to finish the second part of my first Genestealer brood.

I think they look good all together even if they lack detail on an individual basis. Because the Genestealers lack any real carapace I was worried there would be too many flesh tones but there seems to be plenty of other details on them to break this up. They also fit in nicely with the rest of the army so far, so I'm a happy with them.
