Waill And Roll's Wildcard Month

 It's travel sized 40k not Epic!

For this months wildcard entry I have spent the majority of my time working on Tyranid themed terrain, it's a mixture of modern terrain kits from GW, a few objective markers from the old Battle for Macragge boxed set and one sad looking burned out Epic scale Land Raider. I mounted it all on 1mm plastic discs to and most of it can serve double duty as terrain for 28mm scale games. This is the first time in years that I have had such a complete and cohesive set of terrain and I could not be happier.

Of course I couldn't go a whole month without painting some bugs too so I chased the terrain with a 3d printed Hierophant Bio-Titan and a vintage metal Screamer Killer Carnifex.


I finished up the month by test driving the new terrain with a battle between my Hive Fleet Leviathan Tyranids and the Eldar of Craftworld Saim-Hann.

Hive Fleet Leviathan prepares to cross no man's land.



The ever cautious Eldari take cover and plan their next manoeuvre.




The brave warriors of Saim-Hann find themselves outclassed by the larger Tyranid bioforms.



The Swooping Hawks ambush a pack of Genestealers.

The Battle was decided as The Tyrant and Wraithlord wrestled each other, the Tyrant enentually cracking open the Wraithbone body of the Eldar Lord.


See you next month for images of the full army and my thoughts on the project as a whole.

  6. Great to see them on the tabletop - I hear Eldar are particulary delightful. Crisp and crunchy exterior and a lovely gooey interior...
    Great job with these as ever - love the massive smallness!
