After moving this weekend, I've finally gotten organized and decided to tackle the painting of my Nids with gusto. Most of them are actually sitting at Chris Standing's house (which I had forgotten about while he was away in the UK for 2 weeks), but I had my two biggest bullies on hand - the heirophant and the heirodule.
I'll post some pictures tonight (and on my blog, see my Signature), but so far so good - the skin is all done, and I'll be starting in on the armor either tonight or when I get back from my holiday weekend with family on Sunday.
What really struck me about this model is that, although it was a pain in the dick to put together (with something like 60 spikes and talons that need to be individually glues in place), it really stands up well to painting. I thought for sure I'd knock some of the pieces loose just by the nature of using a brush to base coat and highlight the skin, but so far its standing up to the test well.
Once the armor gets under way, this thing will really start to come to life - I can't wait to get this sucker on the board to see what he can do! Unbound list anybody? Heirophant, heirodule, and 2 flying hive tyrants at 2000 points. Any takers?
