Tyranid Elite winged warrior - Hive Cthulhu
Here's finally my elite winged warrior painted. He has a little problem, as it was destroyed by a falling box while the varnish was drying, but as his regeneration capacity seem great :) The paint scheme is my aquatic one, as he's the "bodyguard" of hive queen Primus, so they are assorted. The painting was much more difficult than expected due to a lot of details and the paint didn't fix well on the Forgeworld wings. As weapons he's got scything talons with venom sacs, crushing claws (feet !), venomous tail, enhanced senses, flesh hooks, feeder tendrils. He's got backplates like the Hive Queen, and also 3 pairs of mandibles like her. In my fluff those guards should be shielded by warp field.
