This is my log for my Imperial Fists and Tyranids from Hive Fleet Kraken. I have some fluff (in my head) for this, and will be posted at a later date.

I like to include links in my first post, so here's the first one:

Ripper Swarms

++Incoming transmission from Scout Sergeant Serpentius++
++Subject: Enemy forces spotted++
++Battle Brothers; I have spotted Tyranid vanguard forces. I plan to take out their leader whilst my Scout Squad return to you with information.

This appears to be the lead creature. Something is interfering with the signals, and the Tyranids are advancing on my position. Prepare for battle, I will take out as many of these creatures as possible.
They’re here. It’s been an honour serving with you, my Battle Brothers. For the Emperor, for Dorn++
++Transmission over++

Here's the finished Zoanthrope, apart from the basing (which has been done since the picture was taken, plus how I painted it (in the blog link):

I'm following this thread with avid interest. Although I don't collect 40K, Tyranids and Imperial Fists are my favourite armies. :)

Thanks General Elessar. I too really like the Imperial Fists and Tyranids, and will eventually use a Soul Drinker/Imperial Fist Alliance (the Imperial Fists capture the Soul Drinkers). Just painting up my Tyranids for when everyone else stops using them (everyone goes for the new releases).
Got some Genestealers on the workbench, and then the Hive Tyrant I think.

The sounds of hundreds of tiny gnashing teeth made Sergeant Serpentius turn suddenly. Down below, he could see hordes of rippers moving towards his position. Serpentius fired a round from his combi-flamer into the mass of bodies, hoping to frighten them away, but they kept coming. A shadow passed across him, and he glanced up, searching the sky. The Scout Sergeant shuddered as something stabbed through his back and into his heart, and he fell to the floor, dead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


I got frustrated with the mold lines on the stealers, so painted up some rippers - sorry to disappoint,

Ok, so you may or may not remember this post, in which I put a (blurred out) picture of my Hive Tyrant. Well, here's a WIP of the beast in question. Since taking this picture, I have started work on the carapace, and found a proper base (not made with foamboard).

Image

I got it about a year and a half ago, and the Tyrant was an absolute nightmare to put together. I plan on getting a plastic Tyrant, and possibly magnetise it.

Also, I'm thinking of changing from Imperial Fists to Crimson Fists - whilst I like Imperial Fists, I feel I would have more fun painting Crimsons - what are your thoughts on this?
