I've painted my first Biovore. These are tyranid 'living artillery'; a beastie with a symbiotic weapon on it that spits out spore mines. I really like spore mines- languidly floating exploding jellyfish thingies.

I never liked, however, the original 1995 biovore.
The new sculpt is more than an upscale and aesthetic improvement- it also has a detachable tail so it can be fielded as an acid-spitting Pyrovore. Or the tail can be removed for a xeno-arachnid look.

I'm mulling over using Five Parsecs: Bug Hunt to represent a PDF unit mopping up a spore mine infestation etc.
I agree, the new model is imposing, but your paintjob brings it to life, what a fantastic job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Suber!
DeleteThe original biovore was definitely a dog. I remember having a few b/c the spore mines were really cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm building up a small armada of them.
