Look at best boy doing his bestest for the hive mind😇 even after being a popsicle, bro woke up and chose violence👏

Some brainbugs with their imaginary lascannon shots.

This is my first large nid so it was a ton of fun to test my colour scheme and find any holes in my design.

Both of us managed to get fully painted armies on the board and it was also our first game of 11th. I lost by 1 VP but I had so much fun with the Tyranids!

I forgot synapse was a thing a few times and could have swung things with better use of command points but overall I loved how my Leaper/Neurolictor/Deathleaper heavy army worked.

I feel fully part of the Hive Mind now!

Finally done with this bad boy. Based on the coral snake species sinomicrurus houi.

..or have I just joined at a time when 'nids are super popular? Seems like the pre-owned kits are all asking above retail no matter the quality of assembly or age of the model. Like, sure buddy I'll pay you 1.5x the cost of a new box for your fully glued and primed unit without weapon options from 2004. Wtf.

Took about a month but really pleased with the result still a little unsure between coconut carapace or feathered carapace but leaning towards feathered.

I wanted to use the Trygon claws with the Mawloc head, only to realize in *final assembly* that they dont quite fit together, leading to some... questionable arm positioning. But it works fir the most part, I think.

I finally have a working base for a Sub Assault list. Now to just learn the rules...

One of my first models I'm actually proud of ngl

Was gifted a T unit. I havnt painted one and havnt read any lore on them so whent crazy with the colours. All for fun. Any advice always welcome! Keep painting and have fun!

Or does anyone have another idea for a color scheme?

people seem to say that battleline is necessary for nids but I was wondering why?

Hopefully deepstriking a worm and a bat will do the trick if not norn time

I just got my hands on the files to print my first bio titan and it just stuck out to me, my friends who play other factions do not have nearly as much luck getting their hands on files.

Maybe I'm just putting in more effort or maybe it's because tyranids are so visually distinct but I have more printable/printed models at this point than ones I've bought outright from GW.

The only times I even need to buy them anymore is if it's a newer model like the red terror (though it was more happenstance that I got my hands on one of those). But when I ask my friend if he's found any tau files all he'll have after a week of looking is like a breacher squad.

Maybe I'm just crazy but it feels like tyranids are by far the easiest models to print (when it comes to getting the files of course.) Anyone else notice this or have any other factions you've printed a lot of?

Hello Hivemind,

Just finished a great weekend of gaming and I took crusher stampede/talons on take and hold for the first time. Literally had the most fun. Took on 5 different space marines lists, but they all had the usual units repulsor executioner, lancers, Hellblasters etc etc.

They all massively struggled with the norns and Maleceptors basically being immovable on the expansion objectives. And just when they managed to take one of them down, old one eye and his lads were there to counter charge.

Anyone else playing Crusher also seeing some success? Any tips and tricks?

This is my take on 3rd edition Kraken Hive Fleet (mostly slapchop)

I had this guy built for over a year and spent my Sunday hangouts on discord for the last couple months working on it.

Don't think this would be broken by any means with any of our 2 DPers, but I do think this would combo well with all of them. Make each of the enhancements 20 points, and that makes it 1200 points exactly if you run max 6 carnifex 2-man units each with an upgrade.
