The Swarm Grows!

Here we are again with another post!

I have managed to complete another batch of my beloved hive fleet, adding some psychic onslaught to my forces.

Erebos additions.

As you can see from the above picture, this batch saw the following added to my swarm;

3x Zoanthropes
3x Raveners
1x Maleceptor
16x Termagants

With these additions to my force, I can finally see my swarm slowly coming together, though it still has quite a way to go to get it to where I want to to be, which means a lot more models to get, build and paint, and of course a lot more blog posts! But Rome was not built in a day.





















I find the main time consumer on this rather quick paint scheme to be the skin and shells (probably as should be expected), once they are out of the way, everything else seems to just fly by, though this gives me little comfort know I have to paint around 66 more of the little guys pictures above.





















The brains of the psykers look lovely and gooey thanks to a simple layer, wash and drybrush highlight, followed by Ardcoat for the gooey look, Sadly though, after this batch was finished and I moved onto the next batch for priming, I ran out of primer for these poor guys;


So now I must order more before I can continue, however this poses a problem for me, as I can never JUST order primer / paint when making an order, I always end up getting some miniatures too, which is why I am quite worried this time, as the new Necrons have caught my eye (probably partially from my love of Tomb Kings too), so could this simple primer purchase turn into another army to paint?

DARN YOU PLASTIC CRACK!

See you again soon!
