New Shrikes!

While digging through the bits bin at the Nova Open I came across some converted tyranid warriors.  There were 4 for half the price of 3 new warriors and they came with the nurgle wings. I think these will be great shrikes.

WIP Riptide and Shrike

So in the little time available I have done some work on both the riptide and one more shrike

More Updates: Shrikes

If you have been following along I have been making some shrikes.  I have 3 completed for the most part.  I need to work on the green stuff making look less like globs of putty to more part of the model.  I think a little sanding and trimming with a new smother layer will help out.  I am not the greatest when it comes to Green Stuff but they say practice makes perfect.

WIP Monday: Shrikes again...

 I got some more work on my shrikes this weekend.  I have 2 pretty much complete and a third on its way.  I was all out of monsterous rending claws so I switched out to genestealer claws.  I don't think that they are perfect or as good as the claws but they do the job. off to the pics...

Shrike Progress..

I have had a bit of time to work on my shrikes.  I have my prototype finished.  I know he is rough around the edges but I think I have done a decent job. I wish I was better with green stuff.

WIP Monday

I have not done one of these in while and I actually got some work done so I thought it is time for a post.

I had a game with the shrikes and plan to try them out again tonight.  I still don't have a model for them.  I wish GW would hurry up and make one.  I plan to take apart the warriors I have to make the shrikes I want but until someone makes affordable wings (Sorry forge world you are too much) I will just have to proxy *Gasp*

List: Giving Shikes a try

Last week I went over the tyranid shrikes while in comparison to Raveners. After the dust settled I thought they could use a chance to hit the field.  So the next time I get to play I am going to give them a try. Here is the list and I will talk about changes after:

Battle Royal: Shrike VS Ravener

All this year I have been playing Tyranids trying to improve my game playing and to prove that Tyranids are not the easy win for the opponents. During this time, although I have not kept track I feel that I have even broke even or had a winning record. I have tried many of the different units that I had never tried like the parasite and mawloc.

Chapter House is back...

So the lawsuit is over and it looks like that Chapter House Studio has come out on top. While they were not really gone they did slow down on creating new items.
