'nids part 69 - Tyranid Quad Gun and Aegis Defence Line

Continuing my collection of lost and forgotten images. I once promised a set of completed pictures of my Tyranid Aegis Defence Line and pointless Quad Gun. And here they are:




I've since discovered that they're actually larger than they should be in length. I think I measured the Aegis wrong somewhere and once you add the sloping growth of the Chitin it gets worse. In future I will probably be dropping one of the short pieces for tournament use. I could argue this thing is a natural growth so it might be a little larger but if I'm 'arguing' at a tournament then I need a kick up the pants, 'cos I really don't care that much to spoil what should be fun.


And the quad gun with it's stealth Adrenal Glands scuttling on the base.


Such a shame, nevermind.


The warriors have a nice little 'hive' to defend.




OOH, and what's this?


2 long pieces and 2 short pieces and some new epoxy putty? Whatever could that be for...?

    1. Maybe, and having played a game recently against my mate Liam I actually discovered that I can drop two sections - either a double or two singles, probably the double as the singles add more flexibility. I can't believe I got it so wrong. Anyway, I will build them and then look at casting, just for the experience and to keep my in Seraphim Sepia wash ;)

    2. I mention my game with Liam because he had a proper Aegis that I could compare it with, something I hadn't actually done up to this point - like I say how did I get it so wrong? Perhaps my first statement is the clue...

    1. Thanks Brent, then consider yourself Bonewhite with blue and turquoise markings on your Chitinous parts... or green, traditionally ;)

    I'm totally going to use it as inspiration for my own! :)
