Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice x3

even your Carnifex looks better then mine, dont tell me you have every race I do >.>

I only have these two. Though there IS tau in my house, but they don't belong to me, they're  pvpbob's.

wow thats amazing! Your Fex looks amazing but do you actually play the tabletop game with this?

Not YET... I plan on doing a Godzilla 'nids army, and the biggest hold back to that is the fact that this guy is my only carnifex. ;) There's a 3-pack of fexes that I can buy for $90, I just need the funds to get it.

I do have a circle of friends that all play 40K, so once my army gets up and going I'll hopefully be stomping all sorts of IG & deathguard & tau face. >:D

I see, I normally only see a fex built this way for an elite choice....I personally prefer the 'dakka-dakka' fex (two sets of devourers) or the sniper fex (venom cannon and/or barbed strangler)

I believe against IG and Tau swarm nids usually do better but meh. Ironicly I was thinking about selling my bugs

my next 3 fexes will definitely be Barbed Strangler/Scything talons. a S8 / 36" range pieplate is WAY too useful, expecially fighting Chaos Marines. HAHAHA suck on that, Nurgle-lovers! Where's your Feel-no-pain save NOW?!?

...yeah. heh ;) This guy was put together before I'd settled on a strategy. The crab claws are just too awesome NOT to put on at least one model. And I'd like to have at least one H2H fex on the table, even if most of the others'll be shootie.

Doing anything with removeable limbs by chance? I have a bunch of Nicodeum...whatever they are called....rare earth magnets to do the job so that you can replace limbs at will to tailor yur fexes for games.

The guys I play with aren't as strict with "what you see is what you get" type play. Their motto is "if they are holding a gun, they have any kind of gun. Just declare it before the game starts and if it could get confusing, put a marker on them". I've thought about it, but after seeing all the issues  pvpbob had trying to magnatize his tau, I'm kinda scared to try.

I have seen people fight with those to great frustration, so I don't consider it worth the trouble. If I want something with a different weapon I just get a new mini for it.

But then again, my job is more secure when we sell more minis, so maybe I'm biased there ;)

I knew that name Onyxia sounded familiar! And a friend has drawn me into WoW, too...I'm another victim.

Plus, since I started playing those Dawn of War games, I started reading up on "WAR40K lore" or whatever. It's pretty cool stuff. The dorkness corruption also runs through my veins.

And that's a huge figurine.

I want to melt your carnifex with my quadruple-multi-melta devastators.

But I would also enjoy seeing it along side my own meager Tyranid forces. I'm so conflicted.

Join the 'nid side! We shall devour the galaxy! >:D nomnomnomnom....

Do you have Dawn of War 2? If so I'd love to play you on line with my nids.

I don't have it. :( I want to play it, but my work schedule does not allow for many games...

I must admit, the 'nid do have a very strong appeal, but I haven't really got anyone to battle, so I can't really justify spending the money to get a decent army going. :c
As it is, I've got a couple dozen gaunts, three or four warriors (not sure how many I've cannibalized for daemon princes at this point) and three semi-old zoanthropes (sp?). Nothing too impressive, really.

Also, I generally lose anyhow, so bleh.

...

nomnomnomnom~

Lookin' good I like your colour blending to create the fiery styles. I'm not so good at the freehanded stuff though when I'm done with the warboss I'd love to get your appraisal of the paintwork on 'im :D
was well chuffed with how his conversion turned out: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/1244220/ hmm he'd be eye level with your fexes easy, that's how big he is xD

Gorgeous paint job. The shading and detail work is phenomenal, just like a Professionally painted piece like you would see at a GW store.

I envy your painting skills. I haven't painted anything in so long. Not that I play 40k, I just know a lot of people who do.

And everyone always either plays Tyranids or Chaos. What's up with that?

or Space Marines. I know Marines/Chaos Marines are full of cheese & potentially powergamer-type stuff, so a lot of people are drawn to them because of that (not EVERYONE, but a large chunk). And Tyranids? they're just awesome. ;)

The first game I ever watch was someone playing I think either Dark Eldar or Tao versus Dark Eldar/Tao (whatever the other wasn't playing) teamed up with someone using 'nids, mostly just gene stealers though. During deployment or something, the one guy got three attacks before the game even started. That game didn't last long...

I love this fex...nice, unique color palette and just so much more alive than most I have seen, even Golden Demon winners. Maybe it'sbecause you don't have a base for him...I don't know...but love him. Also, this fex is the standard version for DOW2 right now...claws and scythes.

he needs a base though. he's very front heavy and wants to fall over on his face :(

Wow looks great NOW GO PAINT THE REST!!!

AHH!!!

....nomnomnom

Tyranids for life, yo.

hes lovely Ive done a simular carni whenI had an army purple was thir bas colou t but I made the carpics lighter liek white bone

if i can ever dind my camera cord, i'll have to show you a conversion i made with an old plastic cold one and one of the extra heads, can you say giant squig rider

*kicks in the door, points*


NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

No worries. Soon the Nerds will rain supreme! MWAHAHAHHAHAAAA!

*raises a paw and begins to sing*

I like bein' a NERD!
It's great, bein' a NERD!
I love playin' the neeeerdy games!

*smacks himself before he makes too much of a scene*

That looks freakin awesome, Liz! :-D

That's like being a nerd to a nerd like a nerd is to a normal person.

Don't worry, I'm painting a Chaos Space Marines army. Nowhere near as good as that tho.

Man, I need to start my Tau army up again... Wonder where the little guys are...

Hot damn thats some awesome painting. I love the tyranids designs always. >.> I tried painting a few and they're really fun. Just the skeletal looks on their outsides with their outer caprice just is damn awesome.

Very cool. I happen to have a large Tyranid force myself. We should join together and consume the galaxy!!!!

OMG is that what the new carnifex' look like???? (model not paintjob..mine are black and purple)

if so, AWESOME!!!

Lol, and no worries about nerding the name, I have a lictor named Lictorb, the B is for bargain.

I can only imagine all the hours you must have spent painstakingly applying all the paint you needed to color this model. Wish I could paint that well. I still need so much more practice. Tyranids look so much scarier than your ordinary human Guardsman.

My Chaos army is like the ultimate can of raid!!!

jaw-dropping in its sweetness!!

None can best the might of my HIVE FLEET HAMBURGER! ... yeah we skimmed a bit on naming.

Who cares? It's not like their enemies will be around long enough to laugh at it.

I think it is a very appropriate name, as they plan to turn the entire universe into tasty meat-based sandwiches.

Yeh! And think of some 10 foot tall son of a subwoofer sounding space marine trying to sound grave and serious at the mention of the approach of HIVE -- FLEET -- HAMMmmBuuurgerrrr~

(and in the field of thousands of marines, a lone 'mmmm' can be heard)

Mwhaha...Now I have to post pics of my Tyranid Army: Hive Bahumut, when I'm finished painting them...To won't be as cool as yours! *is a sucky non-artist* xD

NO BAD
DARK ANGELS FTW >.O

nice job!

"...I'm going to need a bigger boot...."
Ha ha ha
Awesome work!

Pfft, sure it's big. Sure it's pretty, but I've never seen a bug that my Command team with 10 AP2 Plasma riffle shots couldn't take down.

but you dont have a hierophant bio titan from FW muhahaha!!! i do bio cannons FTW asult 16 s10

and a hierodule

Carnifex says hello little tank.
Carnifex hugs.
Landraiders says *deadface*.

^^ very nice painting work... wish my sisters of battle turned out that well.

Very basic painting :P Looks like taken from guide :P - sorry dont like it :P

Another Tyranid user? SWEET!

Very cool looking. Hive Fleet Oxyxia, hehe.

Emperor's Children will destroy you.

Carnifex named after something from WoW? Heresy!

Onyxia Wishes she looked this good XD

yay carnifex! I almost got into WH40K a couple years ago and if I had tyranid would definitely have been my army of choice. Two main things kept me from doing it. 1) no-one else I know was serious about getting into playing and collecting, and 2) I didn't like the idea of having to paint 50 Termagants exactly the same.

#2 was my reason for going with a Godzilla-style army. It's based around lots of fexes (we can field 6 at a time now), tyrant as HQ, and my troops as more expensive but more efficient genestealers. Possibly some Licters and Raveners thrown in. We don't get the numbers, but we make up for it in power; my entire army either has rending or outright ignores armor saves, AND most are independant so I don't have to worry about a couple synapse guys going down & my entire army running (like a gaunt-based army would be)

Okay, that makes sense, I didn't play it enough to see how well single big units did in WH a lot of games they don't fare so well, swarm works much better.

*noses softly* hey hon i play regularly if you wanted to hang out i would love to invite ya over for some 40k fun *smiles* i didn't know you were into it.

Yeah I knew you were into the game but when i was thinking about getting into it, was around the time you moved away. Right now not sure if I would want to get into the game, partially because I don't really need another money drain right now. And as much fun as WH looks it is also a lot of money to equip even a decent army.

not really. if you want a decent army you just buy what you feel will work it doesn't have to cost to much depending on how you do it :) and tyranids are easy to make a good army with.

This is an awesome Carnifax model. I love that level of detail you put into the Carapace armor of the lumbering giant. The painting detail and highlights look gorgeous.

I'm more of a Chaos Space Marine myself, they offer more chances for deformation in the models and unique character designs.

And as one Warhammer 40 K nerd to another...BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! XENO SCUM! <3.

If I were confronted by such a beast of the 41st millennium, I would be awe-struck AND shit myself.

How many layers of drybrushing is that? Awesome work.

I think it's around 4 or 5? Not sure... I SHOULD, since I need to paint like 40 more big bugs

Hehe... it's been a while since I've been able to sit and really work on my Skaven. If I had a camera, I would post images of some of my better models as well.

Holy dodongo scat

*smirks and rubs hir chin* you know liz. after meeting you and talking you a few times about wow and 40K... i can't help but feel i saw this coming *laughs* just alittle but its still wonderfully painted model and i hope to see more *smiles*

Nothin' wrong with the name. Mine was a splinter from Behemoth named 'Krullus Tendril'. . .then again, every custom paint scheme is actually a splinter :(

Also: Bitchin paint scheme! How long did it take you to do said paint job?

I'm not sure on the time. It was over a couple sittings though, so a good number of hours.

Ick. . .I can honestly say that no-matter what the scheme, it always sucks hours of your life away. Looks GREAT in the end though, so totally worth it!

well.... As much as I'd love to put wings on my tyrant for mobility, paying 45 points for a guard that basically just adds 2 wounds to my tyrant is too good.

I AM actually converting a large tyranid dragon model from an otherwise unusable 'fex body, but it might be WAY too big to use as a tyrant.

wow, now that is a sexy Tyranid.

and dear god I wanna get into Warhammer 40k.

Carnifexes rule :)

That's some good looking color on the carapace.

Can I has painting skillz plz ;.;

Seriously, crazy.

Even my ultramarines are a bit envious.

That thing looks like a Zerg from Starcraft.

Onyxia was the first raid I did at 60+. Lovely paintjob. Tried getting into Tyranids and Warhammer back in Uni, but was never a model fan.
This is an Epic Purple looking beastie.

nice carnifex ^^

is it just me or do tyranids look similar to the necromorphs from dead space?

Amazing work! I just wish that mu Ultramarines would get good as this... BTW... I heard that your boyfriend is... a Xeno Heretic... is that truth?...

Tyranids, one of the greater and more interesting races. heh, went Marines myself, but more so for the compact, simple travel friendly reasons. That, and... well, banana marine armies are pretty nice.

Came out looking Beautiful nice paint job!

badass paint scheme! try a thinned purple was over the flesh to tone down the highlights a smidge. :D

Space Marines and Imperial Guard, all the way.

Especially when they got horns, spikes and trophy racks carrying the heads and skulls of their enemies. ;)

now that is some quality painting,
lol do you win every model painting contest you enter? ^^ i know you would at my shop you would

that is an amazing job on your carnafex.
Wish i could see it in person though. it must look simply amazing.
