When used in conjunction with a box of termagaunts and hormagaunts, the genestealer contents of my newly-acquired Space Hulk set are fixing to be the first 1000 points of my Tyranid army. I plan on picking up a triplet of Carnifexes to complete the last 500 points.
As you can see in the picture above, I have spent the last hour or two trimming genestealer bases to fit onto standard 40k bases. The Broodlord is one mean-looking SOB, towering over all the other models I currently own. Its dorsal carapace flanges come darn-near level with the top hatch of my Leman Russ. Of course, that is because it is perched on a macabre pile of skulls, but it is still intimidating.
Below is the scheme my wife helped me pick for this Hive Fleet, which I am naming Hive Fleet Gargantuan:
A big thanks to www.fallensunasylum.org for putting up this awesome beta of a Tyranid painter! check it out at http://www.fallensunasylum.org/nids/gauntpainter.html
In the next post, I'll go over my impressions of actually playing the game of Space Hulk.
Nice choice for the colour scheme -- can't wait to see some painted up!
