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.

Gouges in carapace reveal vibrant new growth, Balor Brown.

Ebay Tyranids Hive Crone part 4 a.k.a. Airbrushing Wings

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.

12.11.10 FOYCON 1850 Fires of Battle day 1 2 Lose/1 win

BatRep long time coming.  Part one of two of FOYCON's Fires of Battle Grand Tournament.  GT had about 14 players.  Lower than expected.  Sarge from Fountains of Youth did a great job organizing first Fountain of Youth Convention, FOYCON.

Bryan and I arrived about 9:50pm at the Metropolis.  Wanted to do some recon to avoid the whole wake up early walk through the hotel to find the GT.  Unfortunately we had more tables than players.  Nate ended up placing a table between players.  The purpose, to use the tables and terrain he put together.  Don't blame him.

12.10.25 1850 Necrons vs Tyranids

Had a great game last night.  Was too busy being in panic mode the entire night to realise what was happening on the field.

This was one of the many things making me nervous all night.

12.10.10 1500 Necrons vs Tyranids

Had a great game with a new opponent last night.  He had some old school Tyranids.  A lot of them painted.  How quickly he picked up 6th ed was surprising.  Great guy.

Flyrant, Trygon Prime, Ravener, Genestealers, Canoptek Wraiths and Scarabs in this mix.  Damn good party.

12.9.29 1500 pts Dark Vengeance Tournament

Fantasy Flight held their first 6th ed tournament today.  Woke up at the God awful hour of 8:35am.  As a rule I never wake up earlier than noon on the weekends.  Those are my days off.  I wake up for a 8am job every week day.  I'll do what I want on the weekends.  Actually I usually sleep til about 1:30pm.  Be prepared for a long BatRep and blurry pics.  Enough with the fluff onto business.

Made myself some crib notes for the game.  Preferred Enemy note actually did help.  Rest remembered them as soon as I wrote them on the hand.

12.5.17 2k Noir Engel vs Tyranids

Joe x, one of the cool players and possibly the most fun to play against because he is entertaining and easy going, saw me playing my Dark Eldar, before I decided to finish painting them, and wanted to play me.  Told him yeah, but I wanted a rematch with my Space Noir Engels (lit. trans. Black Angels a.k.a. Dark Angels) army again first.  Well finally had my chance to play his Tyranids again after my humiliating defeat last time.
