Tale of 40K Gamers - Jake - Tyranids Initial Pedge complete

Here is the completed force from Jake's Get Started Tyranid box.

Jake has done brilliant work unifying his force.  The natural paint scheme has carried across all the models and the dismembered Ultramarines work as nice areas of spot colour to break up the browns.  He has really done an amazing job on these.

I saw some of these in person last night and I especially like how Jake has used some spare bio-morphs to make bugs on the bases as well.

You can see more in depth photos and descriptions on Jake's blog "Boyo Paints" in the sidebar.  Here is a direct link to his Hive Tyrant article.

Now that Jake and I have finished our first 400 points and a couple other participants are not too far behind, its time to think about what step 2 will be.

Tale of 40K Gamers - Tyranids

Jake who is participating in our group hobby project has shared a look at his first painted unit.  The Gargoyles from the Tyranid Starter force.

Jake has returned to gaming this year after a hiatus.  He has taken to the hobby side of it very well and has produced some fantastic looking Dark Angels in a short space of time.  The Tyranids give him a nice change in palette and techniques.  Excellent work!
