Agreed.

So Archaon is finished!

TIP: DO NOT fully assemble him if you want to keep your cool while painting. Oh my goodness there were times where I flipped my lid (or cried).

Any who! I was kind of upset that GW didn't have many good pictures of him and then I tried to take my own pictures..... I had to build a brand new set up for the pictures... he is THAT big. I took the whole lava plate thing from the GW scheme and went the extra length to resemble Deathwing from WoW (made it look like it was actually lava/glowing). I only used a mixture of reds, oranges and yellows so no white for the "hot" look but I think it turned out every well!

Also, I finished a test Sister. As my previous post (back a bit) explains, I have finally decided on a paint scheme. The Leaders/Elites/Seraphim will have a gold armour look with silver details. Purple cloth was chosen to represent the Gothic "hierarchy" feel. Normal Sisters will have silver armour/helmet with gold shoulder pads and gold details (other than the shoulder pads as they will remain silver details). Their cloth will be blue, to continue the "royalty" look but to remain under the Leaders/etc. Rhinos and Immolators will be blue where as Repressors and Exorcists will be purple. Then, everything will be on this marble-like base (Gothic Ruins) with a fall static grass. I think the overall design will look very well! Don't mind the very... thick look of the Sister though... she has had soooo many paint scheme tests that I'm surprised there was any detail left over! SO. Prepare for some Sister love!

1 point for the Sister (Although it's a test scheme I am still keeping her).
?? points for Archaon.

[BigMekNayt]

Wow! Very nice. Love them both.

lookin great!

[3eland]

Thanks.

Archy was fun to paint (even if I hated it at times) and I think the Sisters look will do well.

That sounds like a perfect Valentine's day to me.

I like how your Tyranids are coming together. Organic and intimidating.

[3eland]

Nice. You must have quite a large army collecting so far!

Any army shots to see how big this army has grown?

@ Skuller.
Your bugs look like 'bugs'. well actually lobsters. Good job.. Maybe even a couple crabs.

I have a freind who painted his bugs like spiders about 20 years ago.
