Niding along

So my local GW store is doing monthly painting competitions, and I'm thinking about trying to enter as many as possible this year. They all have a very simple them, this month being big models. I'm hoping this will inspire me to try to get lots of different thinks painted! So I've been working on …

Warriors done

So finished off my 3 nid warriors that I started on Saturday, and here they are. Same colour and bass schemes as before, only real point to mention is the little extras on the bases. The idea here is that these are all guard kit that have been trown away as the soldiers run from …

Nid warriors WIP

Nid Base Scheme

So with my nid force moving along though I'd do myself a quick basing guide. I do these in case anyone finds them intresting, and so that I can refer to the later and keep all the basing the same. I first off built up the base with some filler to add a little filler. …

So recently like many others I've been play around with GW new "wonder" paints. And I've found they have done something truly amazing for me... Inspired me to paint my Nids. Its funny really as I picked nids to try contrast paints on because I'd fallen out of love with them, not touched them for …
