A few more Tyranid thoughts...

I have had two games with the new tyranid codex, neither of which have gone very well, but both were extremely fun. Unfortunately my friend has taken back his tyranids from me so i won't be having any any more games with them, but i think i can still share my limited experience and see where i can go next with the nids.

Imperial Knight picture

I just stumbled across this picture.  Wow i may have to make one into traitor knight for my guard. This isnt really a propper post just wanted to share.

An Overdue Project: Colossal Squig

A fair time ago i was gifted with a colossal squig from forgeworld, i sprayed it red then just left it alone for probably a year and a half (if not longer). It was my first test for liquid green stuff and it turned out ok. Well over the last few days i finally decided to paint it. And here he is in all his glory!

Tyranids vs Dark Angels 1500: Ravens Fury

I attempt to use the tyranids again, but a rather different army, a faster army, and one that should hopefully not fail every single charge it attempts to make! In this game the tyranids face off against the dark angels in a 1500 point game of Emperors will, with dawn of war deployment.

This Coming month on Skulkers Surprise

Over the month of February skulkers surprise will be undergoing some chances, all of which I hope will be for the better. Unfortunately over this month it means that I will not be able to post as regularly as I would like, but fear not it won’t be a permanent thing, just until march. This means I will just be posting on a Friday for the rest of the month, and not every one of them will be a battle report, I hope you guys won’t mind. By doing this it means I will have more time to focus on a few other things, and hopefully prepare for the months afterwards.

Tyranids vs Imperial Fists with Imperial guard 1500: Breaking the Wave

After my friend let me borrow his tyranids to play around with the new codex I immediately challenged someone who I knew would love to face a swarm of nids. This game was a 1500 point game of Purge the Alien with dawn of war deployment, the Tyranids face the Imperial fists with imperial guard allies, wish me luck.

Apocalypse pictures: Jan 2014

These are the pictures from my recent apocalypse game, the sides each had 6000 points (2 Teams of 3 players) and we rolled on the apocalypse mission table and ended up playing Final Assault, but we didn't use the Unnatural Disasters table as we had enough to do in our time limit (and we didn't have the resources).
