HIVE FLEE CMYKRGB

Well, it's been awhile since I set this blog up and I would like to start giving it a bit more attention.  Life's been busy and most 40k stuff has been on hold.  I'm currently in the process of making a Flesh Tearers force and it's coming along nicely, hopefully I can get some progress pics up soon.

In the mean time, I'd like to post pictures of my 1850 pt. Nidzilla force - HIVE FLEET CMYKRGB, which I've been gaming with for the past few months. Please excuse the poor pics.

This is probably a pretty unorthodox paint scheme, especially put to a tyranid army. Fluff is not something I care about in the same way GW would like me to. The initial scheme was to make a tabletop army that looked like updated abstract game pieces from those generic milton bradely games, ie sorry, candyland, hungry hippo whatever, etc. I think it has a very playful graphic designy/candyland/power rangers kind of feel to it. I'm quite pleased with the results, mainly because the look of understated absurdity being taken so seriously.

My 15 year old self would have probably thought it insane to paint an army like this. but getting older has definitely changed what I think is awesome.

TESTING.

Okay this is getting better, after several hours tinkering with the layout I am finally getting to close to something I like. Anyways, this will be a 40k only blog for me. Blogger seems to be a pretty good outlet for the 40k blogging.

I played 40k when I was a kid, 12-15 or so was when I was really into it, I played 2nd edition mostly and bought a lot of 3rd edition stuff but didn't really play much of it. Now, about a decade later and attempting to act like a responsible adult I have somehow returned to the game. The 5th edition launch helped, and I'm enjoying the rules for the most part. I currently play Nidzilla with a pretty abstract paint scheme, and am forging a pretty badass Fleshtearers force (BA successor).

This post has more or less just been a test.
