TYRANID CARNIFEX AND ZOANTHROPE. YEAR: 2015.

¡RUN AWAY! ¡¡TYRANIDS XENOS INCOMING!!

There it is because 2 terrible alien beasts created only to destroy are the two miniatures that we have painted: a dreadful Carnifex and a Zoanthrope. Both show very well the philosophy of this army: the supreme adaptation and combination between brutality and psychic powers. So we invite you to stay and enjoy these two masterpieces:


As you see, these Tyranids call your attention due to the chosen colors. If you already follow us from a time we are sure you can remember more aliens with this scheme. Otherwise, let us refresh your memory:
Our customer is getting step by step a nice horde of Tyranids. We always say it as a curiosity because
the combination of colors is pretty odd. If you check the section "army of the month" within the White Dwarf #213, you will find an army with the same scheme which has been the inspiration to perform these models.
Another point: they don't have their bases completed. That's an explicit request from our customer that loves to decacorate by himself all his model bases.  


TYRANID CARNIFEX

Let's begin with the giant of chitin, bones and muscles. The Carnifex is one of the most powerful tyranid creatures and well respected by all their foes. They have high strength, resistence and wounds, perfect to charge against vehicles.


We really like the combination of different claws that our customer has chosen for his Carnifex. They give them a brutal appearance.



In this photo it is shown closer all the fine lines and progressive changes of color made in the chitin armor. Check out how it goes from Scorched Brown to Bleached Bone in the most external points where the light is more intense.


TYRANID ZOANTHROPE

The Zoanthrope is a beast created by the Hive Mind in order to control their armies when they are far from its psychic aura. Althought they are slow and weak in close combat, they are capable to launch a formidable psychic power in the battlefield. In addition, their 3+ ward make them very resistent.


Without doubt we love the contrasts between bronw, green, yellow and pinks colors.



Doesn't this Zoanthrope reminds you the Alien Queen?



If you like these two tyranid xenos you will enjoy our blog this month because we are about to upload some very nice models. KnightModels will return and also an old army very common here directly from the deserts of the North...
Stay tuned!
