Xmas time is a time for...bugs

Hello everyone and I hope the holiday season has brought you lots of joy, food and time to have some hobby fun.

Now I'm typing this with slightly black hands as I've been undercoating the bigger of my 2 new additions to the Hive Fleet Tiamat.

So this post is a bit of an update overall but also to say I'm really enjoying working on this army and hope that now it has grown to around the 1000 point size it will have the chance to try out against some new forces in the next year.

So here's the finished Tyranid Prime. I'm happy with the paint job even if the Boneswords aren't quite as I hoped. Very happy with the conversion and so am certain she will die in the first game that she takes to the table.

The two new additions for xmas to the bugs are the little flying nuisance that are gargoyles (thank you lovely wife). The first 10 will allow me to just get used to positioning them and then when I double their broods size and add in some Shrikes I expect them to pack a bit more punch.

The second pic is of one of the most used Tyranid models since the latest codex landed. Tervigons are simply great for their points, good resilience  force multiplier (quite literally  and no push over in combat....oh and scoring. Very much looking forward to unleashing in the new year.

Nom. Nom. Nom

Big Mumma's swords

So this month I set myself the aim of converting and painting up the HQ choice for my force. So here she is before undercoating.

I hope to get another 3 Warriors done too so that I will have the big unit of Prime plus 6 Warriors to both be scoring and spearhead any assaults on the tougher enemy units.

The return of the tale - I get distracted

While I’m sure my rambling posts are just as important, I should really be getting on with work at the moment so will cut to the chase and just post some pictures. Oh, and I’ve even done some painting.

For reference we have 9 Guardsmen, which is the start of my infantry squad - Sergeant with power axe, and one with a flamer.

 

Month Four

So the month of November is now over and so here is how everyone has got on against the categories set out

	Played a game	Built months purchases	Painted unit 1	Painted unit 2	Base all purchases
Philip	X	X	X	X	X
Wiggy	X	X			X
Oddsock Keith		X	X	X	X
Enza		X	X	X	X

So after this it means the scores from the fist three month are as follows

Philip - 5 Point                     9 Total

Wiggy - 3 Points                  13 Total

Oddsock Keith - 4 Point +1  7 Total

Enza - 4 Point                     14 Total

Philip has a very good month due to tournament deadlines getting him in gear and hopefully some pics of the army will appear soon.

Enza as shown in the Tau pictures continues to grow an impressive force and has been busy planning with the use of painting books a very impressive addition for next month......

Oddsock scores well and perhaps should've been on higher points before. While his Tale has been chopped and change the amount of scenery that's been done scores him a bonus point.

For Wiggy the bugs continue to get worked on but not finished so hopefully soon a big influx of pretty fully done bugs.

Xmas month awaits so we are all looking at what will both get done this month and then what might fall into our grasp in January.
