Chikin's Escalation Thread

[Chikin]

For the escalation league I'm probably going to be playing with my Tyranids but working on my Elysians.

I started with a new bag of parts:

Then into the bath to wash the mold release from the models:
 

 

I was able to finish one guy, and partially finish the rest of the squad.

w00t, Elysians!  That is a gorgeous army ....it will make you happy! :)

Ya, their poses are pretty great compared to regular guard.

[Chikin]

I'm excited about this army, other than the logistics of carrying around so many planes to play.

Last week I decided the bugs needed some reinforcements more than the Elysian. So I got to work on a metal broodlord. I forgot how much I hate putting together metal guys.

At least you have him posed less huggy and more cackling in madness.

Pins are you friend!

And thin beads of green stuff to fill any gaps and help hold the arms in place.

I just started building a dimarcheon and it reminded me of my oath to never again buy another resin model. I loath building anything but plastic models.

After building that broodlord I needed something easier again. A brood of venomthropes.

Those are some of my favorite new models GW has released for the newer codices.

Yesterday the tyranids battled the orks for the week five mission. I watched in sadness as a mob of 30 boyz charged my hormaguants after I failed to make the charge. 

The game ended with no tyranids left, but two large mobs of boyz left.
