News of the upcoming release of the new Tyranid Codex had Reilly and I reaching for some unpainted bugs this week. You saw his Broodlord earlier this week and this is my contribution: a Trygon - and a big (half a foot tall) menacing fellow he is!
Game wise, he is a burrower and erupts from the ground in a nasty surprise attack kind of way. He also generates a tunnel behind him that other bugs can then scuttle through - so apart from his personal attacks, it can be a bit of a pain when bugs suddenly erupt amidst your army.
The basing is done to match the rest of the army - I'm not super happy with it yet and will add to it later, but I am literally off to the airport for a work trip now so thats good enough for today.

Noting this fellow is 150mm tall, I would like to propose 25 points for him plus the Arrakis bonus for a 45 point total of biomass consuming goodness.

Tri- Tri-anti-wonti- Triantiwontigongolope! No, hang on, that's something else altogether although probably no less unpleasant to meet on a dark night.
Awesome gribbly
ReplyDeleteVery effective colours and I actually quite like the basing. I think I’ll be avoiding him though!
ReplyDeleteVery nice giant 'nid, Paul! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice black and white bug! Have a nice trip!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Paul, great colour choices.
ReplyDeleteI really like your treatment of the boney armour plates (carapace?).
ReplyDeleteHe’s a nasty one, isn’t he? I think I’ll just stay over here for now!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip!
Yuck! This looks like something you’d find in Australia
ReplyDeleteThat looks quite horrible, and I mean that as a compliment. Excellent rendition of some of our Australian fauna.
ReplyDeleteI knew it!
DeleteBanana for scale (yes that's my hand)

Shudder! I’ll just curl up and stare at my feet for a bit.
DeleteLovely wormy bugger.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Between you and Reilly, I think we need to call Orkin. Very scary beastie.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
