That many dots would drive me bonkers, make me go blind, or both.

Love it though.

**Snake Tortoise**

Beautiful army. Very tasteful use of colour, less is definitely more in most cases. Perfect execution, inspiring!

**Angry Apothecary**

Looks awesome great work!

**catbarf**

Another trio of Zoanthropes rounds out the unit.

**Inevitable_Faith**

That's a deadly looking unit right there. Love'em.

**brushcommando**

This is seriously such a cool army. I can't imagine how long this takes to do., but my goodness is it effective. Also I may have developed a fear of getting eaten by coconut crabs because of you. RIP Amelia Earhart...

The Red Terror, with a Stormtrooper for scale:

**Lance845**

Your paint job continues to look great, but god damn is the red terror a bad model. That thing needs an update badly.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Damn those carapaces, they look so real. It looks like we could BBQ your model and crack open the shells for dinner.

**Illumini**

Love it, the retro charm is more important than good looks anyway!

**Brutus_Apex**

I love your army. It's fantastic.

I only wish I could play you with my Death Guard, because I did a tropical beach/nautical theme with them too.

Your board looks amazing. Fits the scheme perfectly.

**Argive**

Love this scheme and basing!
The red terror brings back memories

They just needs to make it like 100% larger because I really love the sculpt but it just seems too small a scale for what its supposed to be.

Ive seen some 3rd ed NIB metal hive tyrant and OOE and the urge to buy some nids arose once again

**Inevitable_Faith**

Looks amazing. Way to bring one of the oldest models in the range to life!

**FeindusMaximus**

Fantastic!

**catbarf**

Got some Raveners done to accompany the Red Terror.

**Argive**

Those are sweet!!!!!
Always love looking at your army so much.

Is it me or are they converted with warriors ?

**Soul Samurai**

Very cool!

Nope, totally stock Raveners. The current plastic kit definitely takes a lot from the Warriors, design-wise.

**Inevitable_Faith**

I absolutely love raveners as a design choice. I feel visually they would have been much more interesting as a troops choice over the current bi-pedal warriors. Great work on these catbarf, another stellar addition to your army!

**Snake Tortoise**

I love the new additions, jaw dropping!

I've always wanted to paint up some raveners, and even go further and make a tyranid snake army with raveners, rippers, mawlocs and trygons. That there isn't an HQ option is annoying, I wish HQ's weren't mandatory in every detachment. Giving a warrior prime a snake tail is fine, but a bit unsatisfying

ohh cool didin't know that.
The warrior style head is my fav of the nids.

If my memory serves me right the old metal kit had smaller heads.
Didint even know these guys were plastic!

**FeindusMaximus**

Fantastic as aslways

**catbarf**

Everything Tyranid I've painted so far, minus the spore mines and magnetized bits.

**Inevitable_Faith**

Absolutely stunning force my dude! I freakin love it. It's been a pleasure watching this come together and I can't wait to see more!

**Soul Samurai**

Man, that's a hell of an awesome army!

**FeindusMaximus**

Fantastic group shot

**Horla**

Stunning in small batches and all grouped together - terrifying! I can almost hear the chittering hordes and the snarls of the big beasts.

**catbarf**

A new addition:

All three Carnifexes together:

**WarbossDakka**

Absolutely in love with this scheme! I've gone from not really thinking about the 'nids to looking up the army and your tutorials in half an hour. Might be worth giving it a go someday! Thanks for the pics

**Tyranid Horde**

Lovely work once again. I didn't realise Carnifexes had changed to oval bases!
