Now that 'stealers lost most of their biomorphs we can use different heads for different broods as well, I guess.Felis1977https://www.blogger.com/profile/07838982890678131002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-46293086332500554632016-01-27T15:30:03.273+00:002016-01-27T15:30:03.273+00:00The Carnifex extra armour plates, I clip off the b...The Carnifex extra armour plates, I clip off the big spike in the centre, which goes in the bitz box, the rest is the extra armour for brood identification.<br /><br />http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/product_info.php/tyranid-carnifex-extended-carapace-p-2892<br /><br />The blue one in in front is actually the same extended carapace, cut in half and then combined with an extra armour plate from the original Warrior kit. I had one of each but wanted it mirrored so that was the only way to do it.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-59198035541874387532016-01-27T14:40:19.014+00:002016-01-27T14:40:19.014+00:00Genestealers are my favourite tyranids fluff-wise ...Genestealers are my favourite tyranids fluff-wise and model-wise but yeah, they're a pain to paint.<br />Quick question: what are those three-pointed armor plates on third photo?

On the bright side as you say, it may very well go faster than that - once you get into the swing of things I find I tend to speed up (edge highlighting my first crisis suit took me two lunchtimes last week, I've just done the other two in half an hour).Triple Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002702481127525157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-91354651636033526452016-01-27T13:00:52.029+00:002016-01-27T13:00:52.029+00:00But when you add up all your armies is that not ju...But when you add up all your armies is that not just a horde in dsiguise ;) I think Stealers might be my least favourite Tyranid to paint, that description of the painting process is the bit that bothers me, it's so dull, fiddly and laborious. It will certainly look cocol though when I have all the stealers done. I'm looking forward to Manufactorum, Broodlord Hunting Pack and the Children of Cryptus all running together!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-13522166513691637832016-01-27T12:57:23.291+00:002016-01-27T12:57:23.291+00:00Don;t worry it's not qute as bad as I made it ...Don;t worry it's not qute as bad as I made it out to be. My maths was a bit wrong and I'd spotted it a few days ago but forgot to change it. It's only 59 days, not 99 but that's not 59 focussed I'll be doing other stuff but if I can scratch that off my To Do List by August that'll feel like a big accomplishment.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-47209215899818232502016-01-27T12:38:28.520+00:002016-01-27T12:38:28.520+00:003 Months of Genestealers is pretty grim!
