WIP Tyranid Cruiser



I've been putting it off for too long, so here is a WIP shot of the Tyranid Cruiser design I have been fiddling with. The nice thing about tyranids is their mutability, which allows me more freedom to get creative in their scratchbuilds.

This cruiser utilizes the "Massive Claws" biomorph that turns the vessel into a vicious pitbull: once it locks it will not let go. This ship's looks kind of remind me of a lobster, though. I imagine that I will only be more justified in thinking so, once I apply the paint scheme of my Hive Fleet to it.

I just got my flying stands in the mail yesterday, so look for more scratchbuilds on the way soon.

Until next time,

  1. I quite like the "lobster" look for the really big bio-ships. You really are a real inspiration for me, I just started BFG, and I have used your Kraken escort design as a start. I hope you do not mind that I used your design.

  3. Very cool!

    Like you've said the mutability of the Tyranid fleet allows you to do more or less whatever you want with Tyranid fleets, and I think you're doing a grand job of them.

    This beasty looks very brutal, perfectly suited to ripping through enemy ships.

    (Sorry about posting this again, the first time round it didn't make any sense!)

  4. Not at all, fellas! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so they say! If you like my designs, feel more than free to use them. Its not like I have a copyright on them or anything!

    Thanks Vredesbyrd for the compliment! It is always good to hear positive feedback.

  6. Really? I never really watched Fururama too much, more of a south park fan myself!
