Red Hots Socks

Here are some socks I knitted for myself during jury duty. It's been a long time since I knitted socks, and I remembered how much I enjoyed it. The yarn is Lion Brand Sock-Ease Prints in the color Red Hots. I used size US 1 (2.25mm) needles. Pair# 98

40k Tyranids Genestealers

Here are the finished genestealers. This puts me up to 70% of the Tyranid army painted.

And some Ymgarl genestealers. I have four that still need feeder tendril heads. I put regular heads on them for now. I'm trying to scrounge a few from local wargamers, but have yet to have any success.

Continuing Tyranids WIP

I've been hard at work this week to make more progress on these nids. I gave all the minis a magenta wash of my own concoction on their skin, and I also added fish gravel stones and texture paint to all the bases. I decided to split them up into type before drybrushing the base color for the skin back on.

2017 SotA Update 2: Tyranids WIP

After finishing up some recent commissions, I'm finally able to get back to working on Tyranids. In this tray are 31 Genestealers, 12 Spore Mines, 18 Hormagaunts, and 8 Termagants assembled, primed and base coated with their skin color. I think I'll go through the tray and do my wash and drybrush to the skin on all of them before splitting them up by model type to finish. The skin is always the hardest part for me to slog through. Fully painting all the models in this tray would be a big chunk towards my goal for my State of the Armies challenge.
