Here are my Tyranids from the Games Workshop board game Lost Patrol.

Late last year I bought a copy of the Lost Patrol game by Games Workshop. In my rush to play the game with my sons we used bones models as proxies. Over Christmas I had some time to look at getting the models together. I must confess the plastic models GW produce are really clean with few mold lines. I managed to get a batch built up ready for painting. These models were then given an undercoat of grey and then I selected the infestation markers to paint my chosen colour scheme. I decided in a fairly traditional colour scheme as this would tie in with the Genestealers. From the original base coat of purple I went dry brushed up to a cream colour. Finally I added a glaze of purple to tone it down and then added detail for the teeth. These now require a coat of varnish and they are done. I have decided to use a gloss varnish to give them a wet looking sheen. As always comments welcome.

I got three of these to stand if for Venomthropes in my tyranid army. Going to do the base to match the others when I've got them all done.:

Finished the last model in my Tyranid army for now. All hail the King and Queen. :)

Did this Hive Tyrant yesterday/today. He is magnetized to be able to switch between legs and wings. The 'not alien' head is from Epoch Studioz. Overall, I am really happy with this one. Edit: Updating the post with the based miniature. It has some drool, now, too! Alternate version, with all magnetized parts switched out:

a friend wanted to play warhammer 40k this weekend and wanted to try his luck against my tyranid army. as luck would have it I havent painted that one yet. so I decided to see what i could do in a week. these are the results. total actual paint time is 12 hours 35 min over the course of 6 days. They started assembled but completely unpainted. They are by no means my best effort but given the time limitations I think they came out pretty well. I am also beginning to play with my new camera i got for my birthday. Let me know what you think!

These will be used as Hybrid Genestealers in the Genestealer Cults. Really nice miniatures all around. :)
