The Hive Fleet is approaching.....

       The Hive Fleet is approaching.....


                       It has been a very long week...but a lot has been accomplished after dark.  I finished painting and basing the three Hive Guard.  I built and based three mucolid spores, three spore mines, three zoanthropes, one hive crone, one mycentic spore, one tyrant guard, and one Exocrine/Hausperex.

 Finished hive guard.  I used the same flesh scheme on the guns that I used for the tervigon gaunt sacs.

  Three mucolid spores.  The front one is finished but the other two still have a little work to finish up.

I have continued on with gluing washers onto the bottom of all my bases.  It adds weight to keep them from tipping over, especially for the light weight miniatures like the spore mines.

Hausperex/Exocrine built and magnetized.  This took a while to figure out and line up the magnets because the heads line up completely different.  I love the look of the Hausperex and the concept of the model is awesome but the rules are just horrible.  I will still build them because they are gorgeous models and brutal looking.  I plan to go all out on the conversion opportunities for the next one. 

Exocrine has the better set of rules but the model doesn't have the same brutality.

Hive Crone built and it is awesome.  Still trying to decide if I want to magnetize the tentaclids on the wings.  I'm not sure if its worth the pain as the plastic is so thin.  I also decided I don't like the flying stand for monstrous creatures.  I will use carbon fiber rod just like I used to do before these stands came out.  Look for a much more elaborate conversion for the bases on the next two hive crones.

Zoanthropes and the hive guard nothing special but they will continue to grow the hive fleet.

By the time I finished typing this I finished painting all three mucolid spores but I was too lazy to upload another picture.  maybe next time.

Thanks for looking and may you paint brush always be wet.
