In his current quest to repaint his Tyranid force with a Hive Fleet Behemoth color scheme while updating his army to the new codex, my brother Jonathan came up with a simple yet effective Doom of Malanti. Using spare carapace armor from his old kits in addition to the unused portion of his Trygon / Mawlock kit he transformed an old Zoanthrope into the DOOM with a minimum of effort. As I stated last time I featured one of his conversions, "Not bad for a kid who put his models together with Gorilla Glue about a year ago!" It's fun to see him improving in his modeling and painting skills. Now if we could only get all those layers ofspray paint off his old models. Simple green can only do so much.....

The red is a little mind blowing, but I've seen this fella in person and it is a great representation. Really stands out.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
Looking fantastic, I dig the conversion very much. Glad that Jonathan is really working hard on his Tyranids and the result is some great models.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I know that it does not look like the picture in the codex but it does stand out. Like Paul said "Not bad for a kid who built his hive tyrant with Gorilla Glue about a year ago."
ReplyDeleteJon, you and your brother /cringe ;) have both come a long way in your modeling, painting and playing. You two have such a head start on us that its only a matter of time before you guys make us look like noobs.
ReplyDeletepfft I'm already a n00b
ReplyDeleteI do not see how a noob goes undefeated six games in a row.
ReplyDeleteI like it. The giant head definitely gives it a 'brain bug' look.
ReplyDeleteI'll get Joey V next, next time. Since my thunder hammer termie dissapeared I'll be forced to play a "killer" list instead of a "fun" one.
ReplyDeleteYou still have not found that terminator? Maybe him, and the scouts are have something against you.
ReplyDeleteThe day I make people look like a n00b.... will be the day I win a tournament.... with a fully painted army..... and dont loose all but two models.
ReplyDeleteBoss, where be da jineric soda boos?
ReplyDeleteHukt on fonix wurked fer you?
ReplyDeleteYou are going to play a killer list against me? Sad face, I thought this league was all about having fun and drinking shop-rite branded soda! =(
ReplyDeleteBut the name brand has been on sale for so long it's made me competitive. And there is the whole I got beat last week thing giving me a thirst for blood...err glue?
