I'm still quick firing the stuff I painted either before going on paternity leave or the very few bits I painted during it, so that newer stuff can be posted in close to real time again.
When the new Tyranid models went on preorder a month or so ago, my brother and me were seriously excited - 10am on the Saturday as soon as the email arrived we were making plans. The reason for the excitement was that my brother's ideal way of playing Tyranids is with Vanguard organisms - i.e. Lictor breeds and Genestealers.
We already had 12 Von Ryan Leapers (nicknamed baby lictors in our campaign), and we are covered for Genestealers, but it was fully grown Lictors where we had our big gap. On the day he ordered himself a single Lictor, I did the same to help his numbers, but as I owed him some money, I also ordered him an extra one - giving us the maximum 3 you can run in a single list*.
*He's since ordered a Death Leaper but that's a different story
My one was built and painted fairly quickly, as a single medium sized** model is a quick afternoon of painting, with the result below.
**for Tyranids anyway
Thanks for reading
