ok, i thought i should probably seperate this from my general log.

Stirling Wargamer’s Tale Of X Gamers – Duncan Ainslie, Month 1

Ok, well with the local club starting up a tale of X gamers I saw it as a perfect opportunity to start a new army. After going through many different ideas I finally settled on a Tyranid army, Nidzilla in particular. I’ve always loved the look of the new monstrous creatures and what better excuse to buy them than have an army of them. After constructing a rough 1500 point list I decided to plan out what I was going to buy and when.

The basic list is 2 hive tyrant’s, 6 carnifex’s and a tyrant guard with a couple of ripper swarms to fill out the troop choices.

So with a budget of £50 for month one I set out to buy 1 carnifex and 1 hive tyrant, with the plans for future purchases to be one monstrous creature a month (with a tyrant guard thrown in there somewhere along the line)

After purchasing the models I had to decide on a colour scheme, after much inspiration from the warseer forums, I finally settled on a scheme of red skin and bone carapace using purple for the tubing and black for claws.

So, at the end of month one here’s where my army stands:




Im not to happy with the tyrant... nowhere near as nice as the fex IMO also, its arms are blu-taced on at the moment.. left my glue in my case at the club.

Lookin' good, the hive tyrant I relaly like, the wings work very well, but the table on the base isnt doing it for me, looks like its not ment to be there, also redo the rims of the bases codex grey, i can see you thumb print on them! apart from that very well done, look forward to blowing them to bits one day

This is hobby gold! When do we see the little monsters though?

There are no little ones. He isn't doing a proper tyranid army.

nidzilla, so no small runty things, just big manly (?!) bugs

[frodo34x]

Like I said, he isn't doing a proper nid army

Red Platoon! Fire! (They have x3 missiles, x3 lascannons and x6 meltas, the anti tank platoon in the army, which also blast apart nids very well!and if worst comes to worst, they have a powerfist!)

Yes but lets see you try and actually hit with any of them.

You know what guard are like.

Unlike those mighty space marines (or more specifically terminators )

Power Armour FTW!!!!111!!!!
