I think we can safely assume the 'nids have reached the pinnacle of their evolution with that one.

Fantastic!

Thanks guys!
Really glad you like them!!





That is a bit too much, don't you think? hahahahaha
I just put a bunch of gaunts toghether and made a mold of them (not really difficult at all! XD)
But I must say I blushed for a little!

I'm really glad for all the feedback about my swarms
Thank guys!

Today I'll show you something I'm both glad and sad at the same time...



I bought this for 15,55€ (the three of them) so it's a pretty nice deal, but then I thouht about the fact that I spent a looot of time and effort to do just one (that costs 5€ in that set... -.-")

I don't know if I should add some tentacles to make them look more like the one I did myself or not (it would be pretty easy to do so). ¿What do you think?

I would say keep in mind how much enjoyment you get from it! If the work becomes a chore or tedious, maybe having one done to the nines is the way to go. But if you enjoy the process/ end product more, then it'll be worth the effort. I will say, the tentacles do add a suitably "living structure" feel.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

+1 to all the above. Particularly the trachea-like piping. It adds something to the mini and would tie them all together beautifully as a collection unique to you.

Don't get hung up or you'll lose energy for painting!

What you've got is great. =)

Yeah bam it up with some tubing to visually tie them together. The bespoke one is head and shoulders above the others so I think it was energy well spent. It just occurs to me just how much that resembles lotus buds or spadderdock. Makes me wonder if a trip to a craft store may be of use for raw materials?

Definitely add some tentacles, that's what makes your version look better.

Jimmyzimms is talking about these:

well, thank you all for your responses; I'll make sure to add some tentacles as I think (and you do too) that they'll look better this way, and it is easy to do with the "roll maker".
IJW Wartrader, thanks for the picture, it was enlighting
and yeah, jimmyzimms, those would do really fine base object for a conversion... f***, it might even don't need any work at all to look good on a Nid terrain (but with a little of love, they'd look even "Nidyer" XDD)

I'm now working on some Trygons, I hope to finish them soon and show them to you!

EDIT: here I come, 2 more Trygons being painted now!

Full formation:



and one photo of the Trygon bursting from underground and the Marine loseing it's foot! XD
