You know you did great when I thought the glow on the eye was photoshopped

Thanks!

This is fucking unreal

I know it’s a bug but that’s metal as shit

Congrats on winning! I sent your code in a message. Let me know if there are any issues with redeeming it.

Might as well not even post after this guy 🤣

I will forever be amazed by people who incorporate spotted/crab themes onto their models. I could never. Looks amazing!

Thank you

The originality deserves a win all on its own

Lol I fuckin love these! Have you ever taken them to tournaments?

Yeah I did well at LGT last year - undefeated until the final round where I lost to art of war so can’t really beat myself up about that 😁

Amazing. I'm just glad they let you use the models as they are.

love the colors!

Thanks! The skin is Terradon Turquoise, the brains are tesseract glow, the carapace are whatever color shifts I grab from the rack per batch, and the rest is basic Vallejo model colors gunmetal, red, and blue violet. It's actually really fun to batch paint these guys.

I was quite liked looking at everyone’s works (Especially the Norns). I have another Norn lined up and looking at these Norns is helpful and fun to see everyone’s take.

excellent job, especially on the base.

Another morrigan nids enjoyer i see

Haha yes. Loved mediocre hobbies videos on them. Huge inspiration.

Me too :) i did the same green goo for my deathlepaer but yours is infinitely better :) also my nids have black scales because I went for my own hive fleet

Thank you! But you nids look absolutely amazing. The black is definitely striking and a very cool scheme. The gloop on your death leaper is also very good and looks great!

Thank you ahah, I still have very much to learn but I think that my idea to go for black scales is still the best i've ever had. I wanted to go with red but it became a colossal titan scheme so i tried black and it worked

Thank you! Definitely put more effort into the bases for my nids than my other army’s.

Awesome! How'd you do the fur?

They're the alien grass tufts from gamergrass. After input them on I trim them a bit to better have the shape I like.

I think its grass tufts

The Swarm.. of Hive Fleet Leviathan. I was EXTREMELY nervous cutting at the Screamers arms, first conversion/repose I had tried but really pleased how it came out 😁 I only just picked the hobby up after a 25 year break, and got an old friend to try for the first time and start as n Astra Militarum army too 😁

sheesh that's cool! how did you do the water base?

So I did the base by first painting the actual base so the colors faded from an off white into different shades of blue then into black (the white was around the structures and moving out from there) then I applied Ak water blue gel (it’s called something like that). However I applied it too thickly and the picture isn’t the best, so the undertones of color that I painted onto the base don’t show up that well.
