[BFG] My Tyranid fleet R edition
« on: December 04, 2012, 08:41:33 PM »
Well guys I am here again. I fist wrote a huge post but my computer erased it  :'(, better for you ;)

It's been a long time since I don't post here, as some of you know I moved to Germany and I have been incomunicated with the forum because of a little problem  ;).

Anyways, now there is a new edition of BFG with new ships, rules and inspiration.

To do list:
-Renovation of the ships I still like, most of them were ok but I think I can do it better, so some of them are going to be discarted and others renovated. Thanks to the new edition now a ship don't have 12 options witch let me focus more in doing a good ship.
-New critters, as I already said spores(shields) are a very important part of modelling tyranids.
-A completely renovated Planet devourer (dedicated to afterimagedan for including it in the new codex)
-Of course a completely set of new ships.

So here we go, I will post all the procedure so people can see how I do things, so we all can learn together and share ideas ;), please don't hesitate in critics, suggest and ask If you want any help.

Before I start I would like to thanks Wintermans, I have seen nearly all his post (in French) and I have learned a lot of his procetures and it was nice to know I am not alone here. ;D

From now Planet devourer and vanguard drone ship (and leviathan prowder as his mature version)

Here are the fist structures.
Materials : FIMO and iron wire
First two ships

Type krakens: RAMSMITTER BREED(Carnivore and Predator), I like Wintermans beaks so this is because of him






Emergent drone ships, 

Kraken DISINTEGRATOR BREED

based on the original drawing. I cosidered this kind of modelling imposible untill I figured out Wintermans posts, I hightly recomend them. Anyways I will show how I figure out how he does them ::)


And spores and antibores

Looking like a good start!
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

Ok here we go, I finally took my green stuff at home and started with it.
This is the result. (I am quite happy 8))

First of all oveal view with other ship of my collection


the new scortch drone(with torpedoes)



New prow of the RAMSMITTER BREED, fist as predator and second carnivore





And what I would like to be my new assault craft.




Now I am starting to have a problem. I was thinking just in changing a few ships, but the diference betwen the old ones and the new ones may be to much(I have learned a lot), so I don't know, If I find a really good concept or idea I may change all, who knows.

Assault boats, they are a bit big but I like them

And finally a special features dedicated to Wintermans and Shortsonfire79 and I would like you guys to sugest the race of the bessel that Shortsonfire79 spore design will destroy just like in his boarding scene
