Current Project: Hivefleet Calavera
Now for what I am working on at the moment, a Tyranid army I have dubbed Hivefleet Calavera. Some may question the bright orange colour scheme, but I have gotten alot of flak for all my armies being too dark, so I had to go all out. Bright orange just seemed like the way to go. This is the list I am working towards,
Hive Fleet Calavera

Basically I tried to take everything that I never see anyone field to make a decidedly un-'power' army, that would still make for fun and competative games. I think I have done reasonably.
Here are the first models I have made for the fleet...
I think the bright orange looks fantastic. As a matter of fact, I think the entire project looks great. Can't wait to actually see it in action somewhere!
ReplyDeletelooking good aventine. sigh you and your workhorse >:D
ReplyDeleteThanks bully and crusher,
ReplyDeleteIt'll be awhile until these boys come out to feed on some biomass....
I love the colour scheme... harks back to the "bright" colours of the original Advanced Space Crusade. The detail is superb and the army looks awesome on the assault!
ReplyDeleteOne question though - those bug-hunter imperial guard brought all the wrong weapons!?!
Anyhow, I particularly like the Tyrant toting 4 pistols - very John Woo!
