FTN Seasonal Tyranids

I've been touting it everywhere, but at the end of the month I'll be in Durham, NC at the Forge the Narrative Winter Seasonal. At the time of writing this, I have just over 18 days to paint up everything I want for my list. I'm also working through finalizing my list and trying to get some last minute playtests.

NOVA Pic Dump

I got home from NOVA last night around 2:00 am. I'll look to do a pretty thorough write up later this week, but for now, enjoy a host of pics from the 40k GT.

Todd's amazing army and display

NOVA Bound: Bags are Packed

This should be my final update before NOVA (considering I'll be on the road in less than 24 hours). At this point I'm more or less hanging up my paint brushes and going with what I have. I didn't get to my display boards. I did, however, get in a practice game over the weekend and painted up one of my Malifaux crew.

Nids packed up and ready to go

NOVA Bound: The Final Stretch

As prep time winds down, I'm finding myself much more comfortable with where I am that I was last year. In fact, I'm done with both of my armies.

NOVA Bound: Display Board Update

Just a small update from last night. I didn't take too many pictures of the early stages, in part because it was tedious and boring; namely, drybrushing nearly 4 square feet of black paint with grey paint. In the end it's fairly patchy and I'm not all that happy with it yet. I then went about applying my static grass. I started with a band of green bordering the road, which gives way to a thin band of green and brown, followed by many patches of brown.

NOVA Bound: Display Board First Steps

Last night I got started on my display board. To boil down my pretty terrible clip-art shape sketch, the plan is to have the Mawloc's road in one corner at an angle, with a tiled path set back from the road which my Tervigon, Trygon, and Flyrant will be crossing. The road will be bordered by green grass that is quickly dying before the advance of the Swarmlord. On to the project!
