Vekarin's Plog of... well... Everything - High Elves Completed

*Drools*

Wow, that is the biggest I've ever seen...............

............I mean Tyranid army. You're not meant to think dirty things Vekarin.

The green and white go really well, and the whole army together looks exactly what Tyranid army should look like, an all devouring swarm!!

@ how have they nerfed the rending rule?

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

It used to be that all 6's to hit wounded automatically and allowed no armour saves, now you have to roll 6's to wound for it to have any additional effect. Also, they've lost some of their armour-penetration ability.. they gain only another D3 of S against armour or something like that.

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Thanks, guys.
DoN; Rending now only happens on a six to Wound rather than to Hit. That way, basically the only think it can do is negate the target's armor save.

Edit: Whoops, missed MS' post. Yes, it is only +D3 for Armor penetration.

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

that is one reason i am glad i sold/traded off all my nids...you need to many of the little basterds, but the models look great =)

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Josef, have you ever heard of Nid-Zilla?

 

[Josef]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

yea lol, had it till 5th came out (which is when i stopped playing 40k lol, =P... but i still hate the gaunts lol 9its a love hate on the hormagaunts though =P), I had 10k points of nids including a bio titan a trygon

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

I know a new edition of 40k came out last year, so are the Nids due to be redone, or have they already been?

 

[Josef]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

not been yet, ig is latest book to be released

 

[Zephyr]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Just had to comment on that Nid army. It's not only huge but it looks really good. I've never been fond of light colors myself but that is one cool looking scheme you got there.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Hmmm, so would it be worthwhile for me to start collecting them yet?

Sorry for stealing your thread Vekarin, but as a seasoned 'Nid player I assume you will be in the best position to advise me?

 

[Trevy the Great]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Thanks Zephyr!

A lot of Tyranid players are moaning that they need a new Codex because of the changes to the Rending rule. I have to admit that it makes Genestealers and spending those extra points on Rending Claws a lot less attractive, but I don't see a major loss in the army's overall strength. I still can manage about an 80% win/loss ratio simply by using other strengths of the army. After all, it's what Tyranids do, we adapt!

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

The ever adapting 'nids never thought to just send in the big bugs to kill evrythink instead of wasting foes ammo with litte 'uns, but I suppose a hive queen being pregnant with loads of big 'uns would cause future pregnancy rpobs and the tyranids would die out.
Love the swarm though, they were made for gunnin down lol.

Way off topic but I have a list of chapter master, 10 honour guard tooled up, 2x 5 scouts (includes special guy), land raider crusader (includes special guy). (It only works in Annihilation really).

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

*grumbles* Damn ninjaDoN...

Hmmm, so would it be worthwhile for me to start collecting them yet?

You know, DoN, it's always worthwhile to be collecting 'Nids.
Actually, a quick round through Warseer just told me that a new Tyranid codex is being expected some time in the not-so-far-future-in-which-there-is-only-war. Thar and a Plastic Trygon. *drools*
If you wanted to start up a Tyranid army, start buying Gaunt boxes now. You may actually have enough of them by the time the new book comes out.

Order: How nice for you. I've always loved Space Marines, they're like candy; so crunchy on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside. And that Gene Seed gives them a nice fruit flavoring too.

I've stayed clear of the distant future by staying with blood sucking, sweating in the jungles, and freezing in the North waiting for revenge on the softer cousins. Either way I am still impressed with the paint jobs on all your models.

I was wondering what you were going to do with the Scar Vets eyes? Will you be giving them little eyes or more larger and flaring ones?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: Vekarin's Lizard Plog - Reawakened - Tyranids

Hmm, I think I'll be going to get some nids then..................

any more pics yet Vekarin?

I'm not sure I understand your question, Dictator. I've completed the Scar-Veteran's eyes, and you can see them quite clearly in the pictures of him.

any more pics yet Vekarin?

Nope. I'm out of paint and I'm waiting for my War Store order to arrive. It should be a couple days.

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

I guess this isn't really a Lizardmen Plog anymore is it, considering fully half of it has nothing at all to do with Lizardmen. It's more of a Plog of... well... Everything.
So, I decided I was tired of waiting for my paint to arrive and I started on a commission I had sitting on my desk for a custom Silver Tower of Tzeentch for Apocalypse. Someone built it and wanted it to be painting at a Level 1 scheme (which basically means I spend as little time as possible making the model more colorful than a uniform Grey), which is fun because it means I can test out any technique I want on it without anyone complaining (if I do a good job, then they get their money's worth; if I do a bad job...well nobody complains ). So I went a little crazy on source lighting for this model:

And here's the little guy on top. His arm's turning into a dragon!

Overall, this model took me about an hour, which is pretty good considering it has about the same amount of surface area as a Land Raider.

[shamelessplug]While I'm here I may as well put a little shamless plug up for my website. Most of the commission work I display here is also shown there, and you can comment on it and stuff. I also have a blog in which I review models and rules for Games Workshop and other popular games. Read it.
Again, the site is www.trevyspaintingtable.tk[/shamelessplug]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

I missed the eyes, it's the glare i guess.

Good look to the towers. I sure hope the CD didn't need to be used again!

 

[Trevy the Great]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

Nope it was...
Oh wait, crap!

:lol: Just kidding.

 

[TMS]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

I think the tower(s) would need a little bit more of a weird design if its to be an actual silver tower of Tzeentch. He's a god of magic and the impossible, you know.

 

[Trevy the Great]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

Yes, well, I didn't make it. I just put all the pretty colors on it.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

It does look a but psychedelic...which I suppose is good for a tower of Tzeentch. I would be interested to know what you would have done if someone had paid for a high-level job.........

 

[Trevy the Great]

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Silver Towers

I was goin' for psychedelic...
What would I have done if the job was any higher? I would have spent a lot of time on it.
This job took me about an hour and cost him around 10$.

RE: Vekarin's Plog of... well.... Everything - Ork Horde

So, after way too long, I finally finished the Ork Horde commissioned of me in January. Two weeks before the deadline, too!
