Tyranid Mawloc - Finished at last! (Picture Heavy)

That's a really cool idea. I take it back. Its good to see why people have chosen to do what they did modelling/painting wise. I like the idea and the execution underpins this point really well.

It was good of you to make the observation in the first place. I didnt take offence at it by any means. Once my army is eventually finished I will take an army-wide photo of them all and show you how effective I think it is en masse..

Thanks though Piemaster I always appreciate constructive criticism..

Man i really like the way you painted the carapace, it looks very awesome

The way you made the broken wall gives the model a look of motion rather than it looking like a sitting snake, great piece

There is something weird about this model. When i looked at it the first time and commented it looked fantastic. I have come back the next day and looked at it again and it seems to be even better than before. I would say this would have to be the best MC nid i have ever seen. And that broken wall detail is brilliant.

Thats a really nice thing to say mate..

Last night I was wondering where I was going to get the drive to start painting my Trygon Prime as my brain seemed exhausted by the idea. But having got up with a nasty hangover and read that this morning I didnt find it so hard to feel like painting again.

I do like giving my bases a little chacter.. I think for my prime I will have a Genestealer crawling out of a hole beneath it or something..

Looks awesome! For some reason I just love a well painted tyranid model. Seeing a really awesome lictor on the GW page like 4 years ago is actually what sucked me into the world of 40k. For some reason though I can never get into the idea of actually doing a tyranid army...go figure.

Great job!

They are an inspirational "Bad Guy" army.. I bet in your subconscious thinking you were just dreaming of kicking their backside

That is an Epic Base and the color scheme is great! Just getting my own mawloc/trygon model made. I have it magnetized so it will have to have a pretty epic base to go with its convertibility.

Really a great paint job and lovely base.

I considered magnetizing mine for storage reasons but hes just so gigantic that I have to have a special storage box just for him and my two Trygons anyways..

I look forward to seeing yours when finished
