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). 

Wraithknight Finished/Come the Apocalypse

I have just about finished the wraithknight in time for the apocalyspe game, and here he is for you all to see. While I am quite happy with him he does unfortunatly look a bit plain and im still not 100% happy with his 'face'. But still I can do more after the game.

Borrowed Nids

This rather large force of tyranids belongs to a friend of mine and he has very generously let me borrow it for the time being to test out the new nids codex. I will probably only have a game or two with them before going back to my eldar, but a bit of a change is always fun.

Eldar vs Tyranids 1500: Hunger from the void

A Shadow in the warp has surrounded an exodite world, and they have called out for help from their craftworld brethren, Dem-Kirath always answers the call. This is a 1500 point game between Eldar and Tyranids in a game of Crusade (4 objectives) with vanguard strike deployment. Will the eldar be able to stave off the swarms of the great devourer or will all be digested before it.  

Wraithknight W.I.P part 2

This is the current state of my wraithknight after i attacked it with a paintbrush again. He is slowly getting there, and is looking a lot better, but it is obvious i still need to do a lot of work to him. Next on my list to do on him is to go over the bone again, its very messy at the moment and i need to get it a nice even colour. The metal needs another highlight and wash.  The guns are a big thing to do but i will go over them again later on.

Tyranids 1500 list: Ignoring the rest of the internet!

I thought I would ignore the nay Sayers of the internet who say Tyranids suck, and have a go at creating my own tyranid list. And I’m happy with what I have made so far, I do want to try it out in the future, so I might borrow some tyranids from a friend of mine soon. The biggest thing that struck me about the new codex was that carnifex’s are cheap, very cheap, guess where this is going...
