Infestation - part 8.

 

My local hobby supply shop closed down just at the very end of last year, it was mainly a fancy dress/costume shop, but they stocked quite a bit of Warhammer and Bolt Action stuff.

It was really convenient if I needed to restock on paints as it was a five minute walk to the store.

During the last couple of weeks, the store owner offered fifteen percent off of everything, in order to sell stock off.

Understandably a lot of the Wargaming stock disappeared very quickly, but I managed to grab this Neurolictor from there before it too disappeared:

It's a lovely, if fiddly kit to put together, constantly curving back over itself:

As now standard Tyranid Hive Fleet and Urban basing scheme's used, with the addition of the bright blue "Brain" area's for contrast.

I'm going to use this as a "Deathleaper" which is the character Lictor in the 5th edition codex for now, however as I do want a modern Deathleaper model, i may have to talk to Cardboard Fortress about us writing a few homebrew rules to retrofit the Psychic-Neurolictor into long forgotten 5th edition 40k.

Just as in my previous post, here's a scale photo with Lieutenant Albo:

And because this model is completed, here are the Brushrage painting stats from my ap:

One Hour and Eight Minutes isn't too bad for a character model of this sort, especially as I don't have to go too far in detailing it, as it's meant to blend in with the rest of the Hive Fleet, no purity seals or masses of medals to worry about here!

Lastly, not as small as a foot model, but not as big as the Biovore in the last post, I'm going to slot the Neurolictor into the "mounted model" category for the AHPC tracker, adding 10 further points to my total.

Hopefully I'll be able to add some "Hooves on the Ground" next and get some units finished.

Until next time, have nice day...
