tyranids

AT LAST ! Project complete. Finally it has been quite fast since its beginning in mid october, with the first ideas coming in August. So the first shots of the creature are in my tyranid gallery, a little blurry 'cause it's very difficult for my cheap...

Hey people, First I want to wish you all the best for 2007 for you and your family, may your wishes (well, at least some of them) come true and let's hope 2007 will bring us a lot of great new nightmares miniatures and projects. I'm very happy because...

Hi, back at least to work on my tyranid Hive Queen, I've been very busy at work and at home the last days, so sorry for the lack of update. Motivation was also a bit down because of the size of the beast to paint. This one will be painted in the red/bone...

Work on my big project, the gigantic tyranid hive queen, is going slowly but progressing anyway. Since last update, I've added the backplates to enhance the tyranid-like aspect. I had tried gaunt blades as nails on the toes, but it didn't work well, so...

The creature is taking shape each day : now the tyranid scales are added on the legs, I've scuplted enhanced senses (2 small pairs of eyes), big talons added to the feet, spines decreasing in size on the tail and 2 vestigial fingers on each crushing...

After being quite calm regarding tyranids, I come with a new big project, my biggest tyranid project to date actually. The idea is to develop further my hive queen concept by making a giant hive queen. The size is roughly 9" (22 cm) high to the top of...

Here's finally my elite winged warrior painted. He has a little problem, as it was destroyed by a falling box while the varnish was drying, but as his regeneration capacity seem great :) The paint scheme is my aquatic one, as he's the "bodyguard" of hive...

Here's a rapid conversion I've just made : a winged warrior, the elite warriors who guard the Hive Queen Primus herself. The model is based on a new lictor (deathleaper), with forgeworld wings. The arms are those of a broodlord with parts of the deathleaper's...

After all this robot/mecha madness, back to horror and aliens : here's a focus on my latest tyranid conversion : a flying hive tyrant. Inspiration for this one came from Golden Demon winner E-Arkham / Kep (from Warpshadow and CMON). This flying tyrant...
