Well, first things first my record in this type on endeavor suck! I've entered at least 3, if not more, of this style of thing and never progressed any of them very far!

This time will be different maybe!

So Tyranids it is as I have a supply of sprus and metals and should be able to add up to around 6,000 points.

Now not all of the models will be GW, hence my hive fleet name.

I'm not going to post an organized plan, as that never works for me. Instead early each month I'll decide on what to paint and see if that works better.

For consistency I'll use the TC lists as my points guide and month one I'll aim to get my dominatrix completed. This isn't a GW model and is something I want to use in an alternative game so the motivation is increased! In conjunction I'll start basing up all the gaunts so may get a test paint of a couple of those done too.

Pictures to follow.

Ooh, Legion models in a Tyranid army! I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing how well you blend the models in!

Badly, trust me

Let's see some nids!

Sounds like an interesting mix in the making. Good luck!

I'll say this now, there will be no clever tweaks to the models. I will be using them to play both Epic and Hordes so they have to stay as is for Hordes.

My hatred of painting is such that unless I have a reason models don't get painted. To try and start to modify models is beyond my interest levels!

I recall you entering at least one of these things before, so best of luck to you this time. Perseverance is key. Girlfriend/wife/children are obstacles.

Nope, severe lack of enjoyment for painting is my only obstacle. Much more "fun" things to be doing.

God yes. Why can't someone invent a robotic painting machine?

I'm pretty sure quite a few visit these boards regularly, puts us mere mortals to shame

This is why i do other stuff while painting, painting is boring but watching TV/films, listing to the radio, chatting online, playing computer games etc while painting makes it much more fun

Well some paint has gone onto my dominatrix proxy. No photo yet.

Well I've made progress, but not to completion! I may get more done over the long weekend but no guarantees!

Looks good, very effective 'nid proxy. Cool colour scheme
