Tyranid army 2

Well, believe it or not, it took over a year to paint them. first i painted my tyranids in a grey and black way (Like the Xenomorph from the alien movies). but in the end they became so dark that you couldn't see anything. then i was angry and thought "damn alien bugs go screw yourself!".

months later i played "Dawn of War 2" and i fell in love again^^ there i created those brown shades i liked very much. but when the half of my "real life" army was painted i thought "damn they look like snails!!" So i made another break.

weeks later i finished them. finally well and the smallest stones i found were a bit too big to cover the whole base. In the end i said to myself "the base isn't perfect but good enough to make me smile."
As you can see it was a real odyssey for me. nevertheless i simply love my "damn alien bugs" ^^
