OVER 7000 POINTS OF TYRANIDS | Hobby Talk Ep. 4

[@AGamingBeaver]

Love to see these videos. I have about 20 odd warriors painted and magnetised but without any arms and I can't bring myself to paint them, so I have a clump of arms just sat on a shelf. Could probably be its own Tyranid unit

[@stonecarrier2688]

I am about to paint and magnetize my first set termagant and rippers, I understand... Like I have these so now what, do I get more or not

[@icedphat]

Just paint a couple a day and it will happen. Im working on 20 genestealers and im just doing 5 models and only of one part of them a day. Slowly and steadily they will be done. You can do it too! We believe in you!

[@Jcub97]

I sent my buddy a picture of my painted warriors for my first 500 point army. He just sent back a message saying the one with the lash whip is called Harry. So I put a bit of extra work on him and he's now just Harry the Tyranid Warrior. Somehow he's survived his first two battles.

Hi guys. Just here to tell some things i must tell or i won't sleep well tonight. After the first video of matt buying warhammer i had a urge to try it too and paint some models, and i started as tyranids too (Not copiing only they look awesome, even if they are old) in final of 8th, after a bit most than a year of wobbying right now. I have almost 3000 points in nids and more than 4000 points on Necrons. I Shared the indomitus box with a friend and i discovered that painting relaxes me a lot, my friends actually call me a literal 'Printer' because i have all those points painted in a year when they still have gray or only primed armies on their first army. Just here to thank Matt for showing me the initial hope that i needed to start on this hobby, right now i'm having a blast with my friends playing in 9th (all rookies from finals of 8th) and as a person who owns 40 genestealers and 40 necron warriors just to tell that i feel you about painting hordes. Thanks por reading if you did, and great work with the channel and keep it up. PD: Suggestion of free content: Maybe do interviews to us in some of these talks in the future via discord calls or something like that, i'd love to see armies and listen to even more stories like those.

The baneblade is fitted to travel short distances to islands, each island is just large enough for them to sit there and fire unto the next island (excuse as to why they can use Opening Combardment Stratagem). They fight seaborn Xenos and Tyranid Hivefleet Nautilus (another custom army). They're fighting for the resources at the bottom of the sea.

I was convinced to talk about the lore for my army by my friend. Basically all the necrons(I run novokh) I own were cultists of khorne. So after all the necrontyr got their flesh stripped away khorne gave them the ability to keep their blood as a memento of their service to them.

I have scoured the internet for hours for the right paint just to make purple metallic custodes. I can confirm it was 200% worth it

[@01subject]

I’m gettin ready for a weird rose gold/pink pearl scheme so this gives me hope if I keep with the idea it’ll pay off. Weird metal tint Custodes need more representation (besides black, that’s overdone)

[@kevin-yb4fg]

Turbo dork has a great metal purple

[@gggfx4144]

Yup Turbo Dork do metallics but you can also do amazing metallic colours with "Aluminium" from Revell paints (the airplane kits company) mixed with a bit of a colour of your choice - very easy for TMM. The Revell aluminium is fine and very liquid compared to a GW metallic so easy to dope with other colours. Gonna do a purple armour Drukhari boss

[@jimothytohns]

I love seeing these hobby videos. Matt’s video on painting nids is one of my favourites from him wish you guys did more painting videos or livestream hangouts

[@Hawquin]

nids need a genestealer hybrid hero that survives the cults slaughter and travels the galaxy learning to tap into the hive mind synapse getting glimpses of its plan and knowledge of how vast nids actually are and use its knowledge of synapse to free other genestealers. less second hand account, more direct without revealing too much and still an outside perspective into the godly hivemind.

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

sometimes the hive fleets leave the cults alone if they think that the biomass that they will gain from eating them is less than that of leaving them alone they live on a dead world with a toxic atmosphere but hey, who cares, they can do their own shit now (seeing a post tyranid society that focuses entirely on terraforming a planet for the next invasion while stockpiling resources would be dope)

[@SaturmornCarvilli]

Excellent work painting that army up, Matt. My Tyranids story is about how my custom Ultima Founding chapter received their first Chapter Master. Blood of Baal had just come out, so I was playing Primaris and my opponent was playing Tyranids as part of that battle. My marines (mostly Phobos at the time) had infiltrated deep into Tyranid territory to disrupt biomatter collection/processing to slow the swarm and give the Blood Angels some breathing room. The nids had their biggest (mostly Forge World), meanest creations guarding these valuable resources to ensure they could maintain combat pressure of the citizen of Baal. During the conflict, the Primaris had met the xenos head to head, but they were losing ground to these building sized bugs. However, while losing ground, the marines had also been chipping away at these six-legged titans. The Primaris command firebase had repelled the smaller swarms, but it soon found itself the target of a Dimachaeron. That's when the Captain and strike team's warlord leveled his bolt carbine and the colossal beast. With a single well-placed shot hitting the thing in the eye all the way to the brain killing it. When the marines did all the damage they could, they slunk back into the shadows and returned Imperium controlled land. After the conflict, the captain and other officers petitioned Guilliman to form their own chapter and seek out the xeno threat with that captain as Chapter Master. The Blood Angels gifted this new chapter chainswords in honor of all the Reivers (about a dozen mostly attempting tarpit the Swarm Lord) lost during this daring raid as well as named the chapter the Avenging Eagles. Even today, close combat Reivers of the Avenging Eagles use chainswords instead of combat knives. And yes, that Phobos Captain that brough down a Dimachaeron (which obvs was wounded) actually happened in game. Sorry, its more of a space marine story but those nids did rip up a bunch of my marines.

I've been collecting for about two years now and out of all the armies I've collected, Orks and Tyranids are my favorites. I scored a $1200 Tyranid army for half off, codex and all. They had a wicked cool black and white scheme with red highlights. Turns out they were painted like the Grim from RWBY. I don't watch that show but I do love the scheme so I've been just adding it to all the unpainted tyranids I've got and it's awesome. I even started a crusade with a buddy of mine, Hive Fleet Grim vs. Deathwatch and so far it's been amazing!

I also have two dobbly genestealers. 1 was because the head looked like it was missing its lower jaw so we joked about him. even made sure to paint "glistening blood" under his jaw and in a crack in his head. looks very derpy he is my special boy. And another one that looks like he is waving to a friend because he is looking 1 direction and has his claw very high. We call him "Hi, Howard".

A couple of Fun facts: 1 - There's a hive fleet who doesn't leave its specific system and had pylons on their inhabited planets (Tiamet) 2 - Tyranids are from completely different galaxy and either coming into the solar system because Guilliman messed up and switched on a big fat dinner bell (it was in a book i can't remember which) or because they are running away from something far worse (even worse than chaos since they are willing to invade a galaxy where chaos exists) 3 - Tyranids may have come to the solar system a previous time many millenia ago as there are loads of abandoned creatures that fit the description of tyranids (Krakens of Fenris, Catachan Devils) 4 - Your pile of grey bugs doesn't compare to mine

So the lore with the Swarmlord is that it's memories, experiences, and "self" is transmitted into the Hive Mind when it dies. This all gets put into the next Swarmlord body, so in fact the "Swarmlord" is really an idea/consciousness instead of a creature proper. So in a way every Swarmlord is "The Swarmlord" and at the same time none of them are. Schrodinger's Hive Commander
