That's it for now. I think I'll change it up and paint some of my long-neglected Eldar, just to cleanse the palette.

What a wonderful plog! I totally understand life getting in the way for hobbying :P

Tell your mate Im impressed by his conversions. I like your painting. Really like the carapace colors.

[Avatar of the Eldar]

Thanks, Xedric. While your Ork work is technically excellent, I'm looking forward to more of your Nid conversions in your log.

[Seville]

Wooooow. These are really some of the best nids I've ever seen. Great conversions, and really creepy, well-executed paint scheme. They look like fleshy roaches or something. Ew.

That comment means a lot to me. That's pretty much the effect I was trying to achieve.

Loving the nids here, awesome conversions and the painting is cool
Really like your paint scheme.

Cheers

Well-done, then, sir! Yeah. Wow. I wouldn't even want to touch them! They are just so gross.

Would love to exterminate these bugs some day. Nothing like a game against a well painted army.

[Angelwing]

Good stuff! Like the carapaces.

[Mr. Ultra]

Jawesome stuff!

Kali-ma? Somebody has seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom too many times...

[DeathCat147]

Lovely natural looking paint scheme you have there .

[polomarko888]

Thanks, Ultra! Although your second line stings.

I hated that movie, but I sucked it up because I wanted an exotic-scary-destroyer-god/goddess for a hive fleet name and that was the one that wasn't taken in the forums - Damn you Hive Fleet Apophis! <Shakes fist at Dezmord>

Actually, there was one other reference in another Nids forum but with a different spelling.

There's some great violent imagery of Kali-Ma, but it's way too sexual to post in these forums.

My Nidz buddy Pekel (see "Massive Tyranid Revamp" thread), converted it from a Trygon. It's essentially a Carnifex/Trygon kitbash with lots of sculpting for sacs and ovipositor, etc.

[polomarko888]

Amazing! I really like it, I may thief it if that is ok

Also I am wanting to start my own tyranid thread after seeing your lovely blog but I am unable to figure out how to put images on my posts, is there anyway you could tell me how to do this? (sorry about this I am truly a massive noob)

Dude, it's a forum! It's all about the sharing.

I suggest you send a pm to Pekel and pick his brain about how he did the conversions. He's a cool cat and I'm sure would be glad to give you pointers.

As for posting pics - go set up a free account with Photobucket (or some better service - ask around for recommendations). You upload your gallery of stuff there and then link to them from here. It's super easy. In Photobucket or Imageshack or whatever when you hover your cursor over the image there's a choice of copying to a number of formats. Choose IMG and then click over to here and among the buttons above these text boxes is one with a mountain and sun icon (14th from the left on the bottom row). Click that and post the URL link and voila! You've posted pics in your own thread. FYI, Warseer has a limit of 5 images per post. So you'll need to respond to your own OP with a new post for each 5 images.

PM me if you need any other pointers.

[polomarko888]

Thank you so much Avatar, that's really helpful, I will be posting pics of my nids soon!

And again keep up the good work your nids really do look fantastic.

All the best my friend.

Marko.

[Mr. Ultra]

Sorry for disturbing you Avatar of the Eldar, I though you were an Indy fan like myself. Sincerely I always believed that Kali-ma was a pure Spielberg's invention, and not a representation of Hindi goddess Kali. And I agree with you, it's really hard to find an original name for your Hive Fleet these days...

[Avatar of the Eldar]

No hard feelings. All in good fun. Thanks again for your kind comments.
