Ebay Tyranids Hive Crone Completed

Could've finished this guy in about three sessions if I really plugged at away at it.  Decent pace.  Probably would've taken longer had I used my previous techniques.

I'm glad I took my time starting this model otherwise I wouldn't have remembered something I saw online sometime ago.  Specifically a set of Dark Eldar Scourges.

Work on this guy is going damned fast.  Which is great.  There is a lot of work on my plate to complete before moving to other projects.  Shawn handed me a whole new set of Eldar to paint.  That will help with bills and securing my Eldar wraith army.

Ice Blue for second highlight on arm and hand.

Have to say this guy is flying.  Of course he's not flying now because he is wingless.

Based Vallejo Model Air Light Sea Blue.  The paint smells like candy, Smartees specifically.

First time working on a Tyranid model since second edition.  Have a Trygon/Mawloc in the box.  Really love the look of that model.
