Nearly forgot to share shots of my finished Tyranid Prime / Warrior Leader for my Tyranid Killteam, the #ViridianStalkers. Like with #MyLittleScreamerKiller, this critter was born out of a wish to have a more interesting killteam leader than just another

So as screamin' killin' is back in vogue, here's a newish SK conversion I'm working up for a commission. This dude is still HEAVILY WIP, so still have to do things like Greenstuff in the detail and bulk up the hips. But I feel like from these shots you c

In case you're not already subscribed to my YouTube and were wondering what I thought of all the new Tyranids in the #Leviathan box, here's a reminder to head over to my channel for my full review. The link is in my bio. And tune into this Friday's Creat

Hot off the bio-presses, here's what I think of the new Winged Tyranid Prime, and an explainer of why this preview is so important to Tyranid players. Catch the full video on my YouTube. Yes, I have a YouTube. Are you STILL not subscribed? Link to the vi

This #wipwednesday work continues on the Big Blasty Bug Boy, a commission tor @bloodyrustystudio #HivefleetTsuchigumo. Finding a way for Tyranids to at once have six limbs while also being arachnids has been... Challenging... To say the least. But I'm gla

I was completely floored today to receive this uncanny, badass rendition of my Lictor Prime from #ProjectDeathLeaper, drawn by @persnicketysculptor ♥ In fact, even Nora the Norn Queen was so blown away by it when I opened it in the car that she was in dan

Here's what I got up to on tonight's #wipwednesday stream wkth @tacticaldbag @ishandeston & @darthbobminiatures: concept for a purely combat warrior that differs majorly from a standard Tyranid Warrior. @thomas.hylandwilson.14 was damn close when he guess
Modern Synthesist:
Happy to share that the awesome converted Lictor @greenstuffing made is now painted! Felt kind of appropriate to share it after yesterday's Lictor-adjacent excitement for the Von Ryan's Leapers. It was a real privilege to be able to paint one of Greenstuf

Well this was quite a lovely surprise today! We finally got a clean look at a wholly new Tyranid, and I'm loving it! If you're still a bit turned around by the name, or by whether this means Lictors have been replaced, check the link in my bio for my full

(reposted to get early WIPs and video in there! Sorry!) Officially finished painting #MyLittleScreamerKiller, who's meant to represent a warrior with 4 boneswords for the #ViridianStalkers Tyranid Killteam from #hivefleetangrboda. In case you missed my ex

On tonight's #CreatureConference Livestream, I finally got started on my sniper gaunt for the #ViridianStalkers killteam. This one has been rolling around in my head for so long now that it's a pleasure to finally start bringing him to life. He will, of c

So I still don't consider myself a painter, but the more I use my #HiveFleetAngrboda scheme on my nids, the more I love it, and the more I want to paint! This guy is one of the elusive, "new" genestealers from 2016 Deathwatch Overkill, and I've always lov

Finally getting the last of my #StandaGaunts under the airbrush. My initial goal for these was to make termagants look more like hard core, individualistic operatives and less like good little doggos for killteam. My secondary goal was to make each one of

Here's the little bit of putty work that I accomplished on tonight's #CreatureConference, filling in brain matter and the head casing around them. Of course, these will surely NEVER be seen UNDER the head, but... Just in case... 😴 Whatever. It's

I saw a lot of folks drawing the obvious conclusion from GW's cheeky Previews, so I made a little video over on youtube to set the record straight. Here's a taste 👉 And the rest can be found on my YouTube channel. YES, I have a YouTube channel

Though she's been most of the way there for a while, #ProjectSwarmSentinel is finally finished, spurred over the finish line by a generous offer from a very talented painter who wanted to put their brush to one of my Tyranid creations (Thank you!). Make s

Third time trying to post my reaction to the Tyranid teaser from GW. Let's see if Insta likes it this time... 👉 How you feeling about this? #Tyranids #Warhammercommunity #Warhammer40K
Modern Synthesist:
Based on one of @hive_delta phenomenal gaunt sculpts, I present sugar glider gaunt! Or at least that was the intent for this guy. I feel like I didn't exactly nail the concept yet, and he still looks rather like some kind of weird Gargoyle. But my concept

Ok, so my previous post may have resulted in greatly exaggerated reports of the death of my painting ability. I do still paint from time to time. Mostly when I need a quick hobby win and haven't got the brainpower/time to convert or sculpt. And it is the

Don't normally shit post memes, but apparently this one is a hit, so here ya go. Thanks @bringthepaint40k for inspiring it! In all honesty, I feel this very strongly. There's such a focus on paint being the final stage for a model, and anything up to that

Friends, I've been remiss. Last year I completed this commission to create 2 Tyranid Deathleapers and one Tyranid Lictor Prime (#ProjectDeathLeaper). I did a big write up on it and first posted it to my Patreon, then scheduled it to also go up on my blog
