Hello again!
As promised/threatened last post, here are some very, very old plastic tyranid warriors. They're the first plastic warriors and, after the strange "protonid" from Rogue Trader, the first specifically tyranid models.
These miniatures come in for some ridicule on the internet, but I think they're really decent models, especially for the time that they were made. The detail is good, the parts go together well and they were a pleasure to paint. Yes, they're weird, but look at some of the recent tyranid models! I actually quite like the design of these prawn/dinosaur/turkey hybrids: they look genuinely odd rather than a fantasy race in space.
Anyhow, they'll be leading the scurrying horde of termagants. They're virtually indistinguishable, but here they are.
Suitably red and manky, I think!
Not sure why everyone is down on these guys. I love them, and they look great painted up in their classic red. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think the models rock! They're really weird, and look big and nasty. They were quite fiddly but fun to paint!
