Tyranid 1500 point army

Here is a 1500 point Tyranid army that I am currently selling on ebay. The models are half painted, and all of the gaunts have been weighted to stop them falling over during games.



The 63 gaunts (there are 64 in total, the fully painted one is shown in a separate pic)

A group shot of all the larger monsters!

10 Termagaunts

2 squads of 3 Warriors

3 Zoanthropes, 3 Raveners and a Lictor

A Hive Tyrant, 3 Tyrant Guard and a Carnifex

Random Ork models

A converted Ghazghull Thraka, the power klaw and shoota have been converted to be on the opposite arms, also the shoota has much more dakka!


Side view, with stolen Eldar and Tau technology

The other side, with lots of spent shells on the base

2 meganobs, one has a combi flamer, and the other a combi rokkit. They've been painted in Bad Moon colours, the one on the left is finished, the other is only half finished

A side view, the finished one has chipped armour (Orks aren't known for looking after their stuff!) he also has some typical Ork checks

The other side

Space Wolves Iron Priest - finished

Here are some pictures of the finished Iron Priest. I am quite pleased with how he turned out.


The back of the Iron Priest, for some reason his servo-arm came out a bit blurry in the pic

A slightly different angle of the front/side showing more of the shoulderpad. I think the bone symbol came out quite nicely

Iron Priest update

Here are some updated pics of the Iron Priest, he still needs a bit of work done to him.

Njal Stormcaller finished

"After banishing the Greater Daemon that slew the old Rune Priest Heimdall. Njal summoned up a mighty psychic storm, sweeping away the daemon's minions and bringing victory to his hard-pressed brother Space Wolves. From that day forth Njal was known as 'Storm Caller'."
From Codex: Space Wolves

Here are finished pics of Njal Stormcaller, with his customised banner. It took a little longer than I expected to paint the banner, but I think it looks good.



The rear of the model (the backpack has been blu-tacked on for the purpose of taking the pic)

A different angle

Njal's banner. This design was copied straight from Codex: Space Wolves. The picture in the codex was the same size as the actual banner, which made it much easier to copy!

Njal and Iron Priest

An update on Njal Stormcaller, and first pics of the Iron Priest. Njal's backpack and banner are just blue-tacked on for the picture. The banner was taken from the High Elf Archers sprue and cut down to size, the cross bar is also from the High Elf Archers with the decorations on each side cut off. Njal is nearly finished now, his armour has been highlighted and the bone has been finished, so not much left now.

Njal's back - the backpack is slightly lopsided as it's only held on by blue tack for the picture.


The Iron Priest only has the basecoats on at the moment, the metal has been washed but still needs more work, and the armour has had the first highlight. He still needs quite a bit of work.

More of Njal

Here are some more pictures of Njal Stormcaller (still work in progress) I've now just about finished his face, just need final highlight. The armour has had the main colour all over, also just needs final highlight. The runes on his armour have been given a first highlight and his beard is nearly done. The raven's beak and talons have been given a basecoat, as well as the inside of the cloack and holster.


The backpack has been taken off to make it easier to paint the runes on the shoulderpad. Also I may end up putting a plastic banner on the pole, which is much easier to do if it's not attached to the model.

Njal Stormcaller

Here are some work in progress pics of my latest commission, Space Wolves special character Njal Stormcaller. This model is definately one of the oldest (if not the oldest) model I've ever painted! It's a nice model, with lots of detail.

Most of the model has just had the basecoats done at the moment. The raven and the staff have had more done to them than any other parts, the staff in particular, seen as it's covered in runes!

Finished Space Wolves Characters

Ok, well I finished the 3 characters and sent them off on the weekend. I think they've turned out really well, Logan Grimnar in particular. I quite enjoyed painting these guys and was able to improve some techniques that I don't use all that often, such as the blending on Ragnar's sword.

Logan's face actually looks better in the work in progress pics, this shot is ever so slightly blurry (I would have taken new ones but I'd already sent the models before realising!) The shoulder pad was painted yellow to match the rest of the army rather than Logan's personal design.

I spent quite a while on Ragnar's sword, starting with a very dark red, which was made up using a mix of Mechrite Red and Dark Flesh (I have a pre-mixed pot, roughly 50/50) and add quite a bit of chaos black. I kept adding more of the Mechrite/Dark Flesh to the mix on the palette and painted thin layers which were progressively lighter towards the tip of the sword (remembering to do the back at the same time to get both sides even!) The very tip of the sword is just the original mix of Mechrite Red and Dark Flesh.

Ulrik has a nice bone mask, which made quite a change to the faces of the other two. For the bone, I used a basecoat of Khemri brown, and kept adding Bleached Bone with each layer (leaving the previous colour in the recesses) right up to pure Bleached Bone as a final highlight.

More Space Wolves!

Here are some work in progress pics of my latest commission models, 3 Space Wolves character models. They still need a bit more detail work, and the gold isn't finished, also I've just noticed that I forgot to highlight the bone icon on Logan Grimnar's leg - oops! so I need to go back and do that too.

I'm quite pleased with how their faces have come out

Space Wolves Terminators

Well the Terminators are now finished, they took a little longer than expected - I had a slight mishap with a craft knife which delayed my painting for a couple of days. I forgot that I had changed the blade recently and ended up with an inch-long cut down the middle of my thumb :(

Anyway! pics of the Terminators:

The bone cruxes on the shoulderpad

A work in progress picture of a squad of Space Wolves Terminators that I'm currently painting for a commission. They've pretty much just had the basecoats on everything at the moment, and the bases are finished. Next up will be a wash on the metal areas and the Sgt's head followed by highlights on everything.

Here are some Space Wolves Blood Claws that I did for a commission.
