'nids part 360 - #DreadTober Screamer Killers - TO DONE!!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity it's the 3st of #DreadTober and I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Tyranid Screamer Killers. Did we manage to meet the deadline? Of course we did!


 As #DreadTober comes to an end I'm less guilty about my headstart as without it it would never have been completed in time. It looks like I judged the effort needed to perfection and rather than feel bad about that I'm going to embrace it from now on. 


I felt bad when I missed the deadline with the Tyrannofex so at least this time it was all worthwhile. Not to mention I managed 2 Dread sized creatures and a Knight sized one too.


Of course I could have just focused on one thing throughout the month but I'm not sure if that was the most effective and efficient use of my time.


Bottom line I have to balance the community event with my own mojo and muse and September I had the urge to start these early and it was the right decision.


So, no more apologies and I really like how these both turned out, enough that I will not mention the legs again!


In fact I'm going to say how much I like the plasma effect.


The blue is my least favourite glow that I add to things but it's worked out OK here. Just enough to add some variety.


The second Screamer Killer feels like more of a spider, with its downturned talons.


I put this next to a normal Carnifex and I can't believe how tiny the old model looks in comparison. 


Almost like the old one is it's little brother.


The debate now is do I buy one more to make a proper Old One Eye conversion?


I think it's inevitable, but right now I want a bit of a break. Although I feel satisfied with my efforts in the hobby season so far, I think at some point I need to finish those Deathwing Terminators to be truly satisfied.


Possibly with the remaining bits of my Death Guard too, the Blight Haulers and lone marine.


But these are great and alongside the High Rule Dude it's been the best #DreadTober ever.


I've ended up with 3 amazing models that despite the minor setbacks I think have come out amazingly.


Can't wait for DreadTober 2024


And to top it all I get another Bloody Great Big Bloody Stamp of Bloody Approval!

    1. I fancy a game with just big monsters, but I don't really like the big monster faction rules so I'd probably go with Invasion Fleet anyway!
