Termagants

No... Not for Necromnda...

That's still coming...

I'm still playing around with these contrast paints - trying to figure out what works with what and what's the best way to get a thing done... I think I've figured out how to do the Kroot. Finnegan assembled the rest of them Sunday, we'll spray them later today, and I figure they'll be done by tomorrow! Or maybe Wednesday...?

Also think I've figured out a system for Keira's Eldar Guardians... of course I'm going through them so quickly, I'll probably have them all DONE by the time I figure out the most efficient way to do them!?

So... Termagants



I picked these up last fall around the time I picked up the Genestealer Kill Team Box. They were super cheap - 5 for $12 CAD. Don't get much cheaper than that! Unfortunately I later realized they are almost completely useless without a Synapse creature on the team - like a Tyranid Warrior!?

I guess if I wanted to make this a serious Kill Team I'd go GET that Tyranid Warrior box for $60 and have THREE of them in the team... but I just can't be bothered at this point. I had loads of straight-up Genestealers and they're pretty good on their own!

So I guess I just have these - in case I ever happen into a Tyranid Warrior.. Or want to use them in a scenario or something - like, in Wrath & Glory, or whatever...

I had painted the blue on the AGES ago - like when I first got them and thought I'd quickly paint them up... before I realized how useless they were... and then they sat.. until the other night when I thought I could just quickly finish them up and have them DONE - AND get to try out something new with the contrast paints. The pinky bits were painted a light lilac colour and then washed with the Magos Purple Contrast paint. I think it turned out pretty okay.

And now they're done.

Moving on to other things...



While, I'm at it, though, here they are with the Genestealers I painted for Kill Team. the colour is a bit different... but I can live with that because... THEY'RE NOT GENESTEALERS, THEY'RE TERMAGANTS! Totally different creatures... sort of...

(It's what I'm telling myself to not get to A-R about it... let me have that!)

 

And here they are with the entire Tyranid force - the Kill Team Genestealers, all the Genestealers from Space Hulk, and the Termagants... I really should get a Tyranid Warrior at some point...

but for now... I have OTHER STUFF TO DO!!!!



Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Well... there are a LOT of things on the workbench at the moment... A few more Eldar Guardians for Keira will likely be the first off the bench. I've also been working on a few MARINES for myself... just to try out some other idea on, what are effectively, throw-away models...

I do have some Cawdor Gangers lurking just behind these projects... the other gangs are present on the table, but each has additional members inbound - from eBay purchases. I'd rather wait and paint each gang as one big lot. So the Cawdor Gangers are likely to be next...
