Hey Loyal citizens, here's an update on my hormagaunt squad!
They aren't winning a golden demon or anything, but they only took 2 hours from priming to basing. I just used white primer and three of GW's Shades line of washes. Since I didn't plan ahead I didn't take pictures of the process unfortunately. To rectify that I'll either buy another box of gaunts tonight or use a carnifex to give you the photo step by step. If anyone has any suggestions on what color I can use as an accent for bits like the tongues and the tubes on the larger bugs weapons and such, please leave a comment and let me know.
In other Warhammer 40k related news, I'm struggling to decide how to assemble the carnifex. The optimal build for tyranids is definitely a dakkafex (2 sets of twin-linked devourers), but it just seems so sad to see this monster go the way of the rifleman dread and become a glorified gun platform. I'm either going to build him as a Screamer Killer(2 sets of scything talons) or whatever it is the kids call a scything talon/Crushing claw carnifex, as those feel so much more flavorful. I already had to go down this road with my flying tyrant, and went with the two sets of devourers, but rather than model him with those puny arms, I used the fleshborer hive bits from the Tyranofex kit as a counts as conversion.

I'm waiting till I paint a few less significant big bugs before I take a crack at this model, not sure how my scheme will come across on bigger models.
