40k Tyranids Lictors

So here are the finished Lictors. I painted an out-of-production metal lictor model to be used as Deathleaper (in the center if you've never seen one). I think the model is one of the few from the old line that still holds up compared to the new ones. I like how he has more claws and ended up with so much more red on him than the finecast miniatures. The extra texture on his carapace was a bit of a pain with the way I paint my color scheme. I have a second one of these Lictors from the inheritance hoard, and I'm not sure if I should paint him up like this one or try to heavily convert him. I received a metal zoathrope and ravener from the hoard, and plan on eventually making those into a doom and red terror respectively.

Also, I posted previously about converting a warrior arm to replace the missing arm on one of the finecast lictors. I'm happy to report that with the full paint job, the replacement arm blends right in. 

Even though I had a minor setback when my cat ran off with one of the finecast lictors breaking it in half, I now have 75% of the Tyranid army painted. Yay!
