'nids part 381 - Leviathan Tyranids - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on the remains of my Leviathan box set Tyranids.

I had many doubts about these. Both in whether I could get them done in time and if I was going to be disappointed with the results.

Once again I need not have worried. They look great together.

And they're so overwhelmingly busy with detail at tabletop level that I think it's hard to see if they're actually painted well! 😝

One could say that that is their biggest flaw now.

However, if I was masochistically inclined to do any more I'd still be putting Adrenal Glands on their backs for giggles.

I still have to look at my old Termagants and add their base adapters to make them 28mm. 

As much as I'd never use my movement tray I do feel sad that they are now completely redundant. I may well have some Termagants remaining on 25mm bases. 

But the Tervigon/Termagant base will probably never be used again. 

Barbgaunts next. 

Once again so proud of the almost rainbow effect that's been created. 

I did put yellow flock on the bases. I did 10 with and 10 without for the Termagants where, so I could form two distinct broods. Foolishly I have only flocked three of this brood of five Barbgaunts. 

So I may have to rectify that so I differentiate the two broods.

You can also see [particularly on the base rime] that my Vallejo Matt varnish is more satin. If you look back at the Termagants you'll see their rims are more matt as I used Vallejo Ultra Matt Polyurethane Varnish. 

I have a post to share on this at some point and the VMV came out surprisingly well in my test. 

While this time it's slightly different.

I don't know if I'm ever going to be happy with the results.

Von Ryan's Leapers.

And alongside the previous brood.

Neurogaunts, again rocking the rainbow effect with the brain glow from their little symbiote brain beasts.

Can you imagine these as creatures in Epic/Legion Imperialis/Adeptus Titanicus?

This is the Vardenghast Combat Patrol, which I think might be pretty cool, if we ever get round to playing it.

And with the Neurogaunts added too.

Plus, I also finished the 3 Genestealers that will go on my Cerastus Knight Castigator base.

And possibly the last of the Great Big Wooden Stamps of Approval.

And for the 3 Genestealers, the last Great Big Wooden Minor Stamp of Approval.
