Tyranids Go To Battle

I was at the FLGS today and took my Tyranids out for a spin against my buddy Mike's Eldar. Danny Microwave took some nice phots of the pre-battle line-ups. He was later engaged with customers, so he did not get any shots of the actual battle. Fun was had by both players, and the Tyranids managed a convincing victory.



Above you can see one of my objective markers in the lower left corner of the photo.




In the center of the above photo is my scratch-built Zoanthrope. My very first psychic test with was box-cars, and he took a wound! After the in-auspicious beginning he recovered to blow up the Eldar's Wave Serpent hover tank.



In the lower center of this pic is my HQ, A Tyranid Prime with twin boneswords. Today I realized giving him those Rending Claws was a bit of a waste, so off they came tonight, replaced with a pair of Spinefists. They're not the best ranged weapon, but I like their cool look.



Here's a slightly closer look at the back-side of the Zoanthrope. I'll do a separate post on him this week.



It occurs to me I'll need to get some shots of the force from the front.



Here's a shot of some of Mike's well-painted Eldar. It was a good-looking game on my jungle-terrain bases.

I am now working on a second Carnifex. And looking for Mycetic Spore proxies!

I'll share more when I have more pics!
