Gribbly!

I do actually really like those plastic hybrids - wish I'd bought that box set that came with the Tyranid warriors, space marine scouts and terminators.

Wasn't a massive fan of those placcy termies though.

 

[Chico]

Yeah i got those old Plastic Mo-hawked Marines Scouts somewhere too, nice figures unlike as you said the Termies.

 

[Chico]

Well well well, as much as a tried to sell these (Not very heh). It seems they couldn't be parted from me, so with a fair bit of time in the last few days as i happened to finish my last project rather quicky( 1500 pts tournment style Khornate Blood Angels), i've been back to these and since ebay was rather kind to have a few cheap auctions which i've won it looks like the cult lives.

So new plans:

Use Codex IG as before.
Hybrid Squads will now be IG Vets, so now my Hybrids will be equipped with Plasma/flamer/Grenade Launchers.
Patriarch will be a Allied Deamon Prince
Genestealers will count as either Deamons or Possessed, dependent of what allied Codex i use.
If Codex CSMis used Allied Cultists will count as Brood Brothers.
Magus and Genestealer Familers will count as Sanctioned Psykers.
All tanks will be patched up ex-PDF versions

To Buy list

15-20 Hybrids
4-8 Genestealer Familers
Running and/or throned Patriarch
Forgeworld tanks to use as PDF versions.

Any ideas or thoughts, then please post here. Or failing that if you wish to denote/trade or sell me what i need.

Cheers
Chico

Love the first pic with the horde going forward!
The purple tones evoque my memories of Space Hulk games and other Tyranid based game that I cant recall the name
Also very nice the big bases with structure parts.

..other Tyranid based game that I cant recall the name

It was called Tyranid Attack. Not a bad game but not anywhere near as amazing as Space Hulk 1st edition.

 

[Chico]

Arhh Tyranid Attack, always wanted to own that game but never did sadly.

Taking these down to my local GW in the next few days to get them pictured, so should have some nice pictures soon along with the new stuff

 

[Obscure Creator]

What are those with big bases suppossed to be?

 

[Chico]

2 of the Big 60mm bases are a Autocannons with spotter/gunner, and the other 2 60mm bases are Missile Launchers. There done like there meant to be digging into cover.

These pictures show them quite well:

Well done Chico! I am looking forward to those photos.

Congratulations indeed!

 

[Chico]

Thanks lads,
It was a shame my 3rd Ed Chaos Dwarfs only came 2nd last month, but at least this makes up for it.

 

[Obscure Creator]

Really pretty! What do the purestrain 'stralers count as? Like the use of (epic?) 'stealer familiars and the magos is always a favourite!

The Purestrains count as allied Daemons, Daemonettes in their case and a DP or GUO for the Patriarch.

The 'Stealer Familiars arn't epic but were first released with the Throned Patriarch and then as a set.

They look great - love the pet Hunter Slayer
