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.

the painting deserved a little more deatail and lighting but the convo is SUPERB and pulls the punctuation way up

Great conversion and nice colour scheme. Before using forgeworld resin componants, try bathing them in warm soapy water; this removes the oil they use to remove it from mould which can stop paint "sticking" to it.
