whaaahoo
Lictor. Frontal.
Finished my Lictor this morning after being away for a week's break. I bought the Venomthrope box while away but built the Zoanthrope variants which left me with three nice Tyranid heads. I wasn't at all happy with the cast on the Lictor's head- it was full of bubbles and quite scrappy looking so I was glad to be able to replace it.
The head is slightly different and is missing the mandibles but it is close enough and worth the sacrifice.
I have, since taken this picture, added some slobber to the tentacles.
Just as a note, I realise the Lictor has active camo but painting it in a camo state is beyond my meagre painting abilities and I don't believe he would be in camouflage mode all the time so I have painted him in tune with the rest of my Nids and for fluffy reasons if Tyranids think in the way we do he is taking five and has reverted to his fleets colour scheme.
I am really going to have to make an effort with the Gaunts- I bore easily and thus can't batch paint. I am thinking I'll maybe do three at a time in between other projects and that way they will be mounting up and not feel like such a chore.
I haven't worked out a list yet so I haven't got any Idea how many Termagants and Hormagaunts I am going to require. I think I have about 30 termagants and a box of Hormagaunts (12 maybe) so I am going to need a few more (groan) Actually I don't mind doing them if they aren't pre builts (which several are)
