TYRANIDS: HORMAGAUNT AND TERMAGANT BROOD. YEAR: 2014

As we told you in our last post about the Warhammer Fantasy Caos, this week we have been working on a small Tyrant brood. We have painted 8 Hormagaunts and 2 Termagants.

If you pay attention at them, they have a peculiar scheme of colors, adapted to combats in the jungle. It may sound to some of you because this patron is the same that appeared a few months ago in the White Dwarf 213, section "army of the month".



Most of you will have realized that bases are not decorated. This is an specific order from the customer who is a passionate fan of creating his own scenery, change and decorate his models and bases.

As we were saying, it is a curious scheme, completely different of how we use to see Tyranids. However, it fits them really good. Using brown and green, which are nearly complementery colors, creates a contrast between organic and armor elements. Let's see them closer:








TYRANID HORMAGAUNT

Hormagaunts are along with Termagants, the spine of each Tyranid Hive Fleet. They are the first creatures to be deployed over the invaded planet in order to finish with any resistance from the enemy. However, they are inept psichically speaking, and must be carried to battle by the Tyranid Warriors and supported by heavier bioforms such as Carnifex.






TYRANID TERMAGANT

Termagants change the scything talons of their forelimbs for missile bio-weapons which have a symbiothic relationship between them. These weapons are a good anti-personnel support in close combat.  




Hope you like them! For our next post we will have one of the most popular models of Games Workshop these last years because it belongs to the Island Of Blood Warhammer boxed game. Which model will be?

Cheers and thanks to all our readers!
