The swarm has landed... And multiplied!
The bulk of this army came as a single eBay lot, and I couldn't be happier with it - love the colour scheme.
the rest I've stuck to the old White Dwarf/GW colours, a bit annoyed about the mish-mash of basing, but that's what you get when you cobble an army together.
This should be enough to get me going with playing them, just need a couple of models to complete the lot, and as usual i've ended up with a surplus which will eventually be used as trade fodder!
The Scythed Hierodule is a kit-bash of a 28mm/40k gaunt - and whilst it fits the bill, i think if i do another one i'll use the newer 'Tyranid Warriors' plastics as a base, as they are bit chunkier/armoured and look a bit more like the Forgeworld model it's based on,
nice army!
ReplyDeleteI think most people use Gaunts as base of Hierodules, just becauese the sensation of "scale" feels right, if you compare it with a Gaunt or with the Hierophant. A warrior might look too big (at least, with the scale of the forgeworld model, because epic ones were bigger XD)
