AdamH's Tyranids - In the jungle, welcome to the jungle! [Wrap-up post]

Well, that’s it, another challenge is in the bag. I think like a lot of challengers I find that the work I get done during these six months are by far the most productive I am throughout the year, and in fact since joining the OWAC three years ago I have painted more models than the previous 25 years in the hobby.

Anyway, here is my ugly face and my even uglier kitchen (we have recently moved, it is getting re-modelled soon), both of which I have tried to offset by the inclusion of my fluffy painting companion:

So the thing I like most about this army is the cohesive nature of it all, I feel it really does look like a swarm and despite the various bright colours they all seem to work together:

I am also shocked with how many I managed to get done, out pacing my original goals and the overlord’s minimum requirements:

I still have plenty more Nids in the box awaiting painting, I may do them for a future OWAC as it would be nice to have a fuller force and be able to field all of the available units:

So what about next year I don’t hear you ask; well I haven’t 100% decided but I am leaning heavily towards a sexy group of demon ladies. However, I do have several other forces in dire need of painting: Chaos Dwarfs, 2^nd Ed Necrons, more Skaven, more Brets, and of course more Nids. I think I will mull it over until the end of the year however will continue prepping all of the forces just in case one of them takes my fancy.

But until then my dear readers, I hope you have enjoyed this year’s challenge as much as I know all of us have. And Sam, I’m coming for you buddy! your puny Arnie rejects are going to be biomass soon enough!

AdamH's Tyranids - We are the people that can find whatever you may need (267 Points)

Well, this is it, here we are at the final hurdle. This month represents the final required month of painting to complete the challenge and is the last of the models from my opening post.

Rank and File Month#4

Unfortunately, there isn’t anything too exciting, we have more of what we have seen before only slightly differently armed.

I will start with the vanilla Termagants with no upgrades:

Next we have three more Warriors, two of which are armed with the standard swords, the other with a Barbed Strangler:

And here they are as a group:

This month’s Rank and File submission is as follows:

 

UNIT	EXTRAS	#	TOTAL
Tyranid Warrior Brood (55)	Barbed Strangler (24)	3	195
Termagant Brood (6)		12	72
TOTAL			267

I am starting to work on something that I hope will be a little special for next month. Any of you that have followed my previous challenge entries know that I like to go out with a bang and this year is no different!

Until then however, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the challenge so far, I know I am 😊
