You using an industrial paint sprayer or something?
Have you seen the detail on Tyranid models? I just bought a Ravener and am at a loss on how to best paint it up.
Good luck and I look forward to your progress and loss of sanity by the Bonfire night. :lol:

And this is why I've never done a single force larger than 2000 points. Apocolypse battles are just numerous armies added together to make a full force
I pray for your sanity BBL

NIds are not hard to paint, especially if its only table top quality... JUst dip em :P I sure did :lol:
If I may ask how much are you getting for this?

Yeah, this must be a serious money-spinner!

55 days to paint 8000 points. That's 145 points a day.
You posted this 1 day ago. I assume you've done 15 Hormagaunts already, yes?

My advice,buy an airbrush for the basecoat, and washes.
you will be able to crank out alot of nids that way.
You will make early Dec no problem.

Considering the Biotitans there that should cut off 1500-2000 pts of the army right there. Good luck with this, Ill be keeping an eye on your progress.
