About the Project

So I mentioned on stream some time back that I'm playing 3rd Edition 40k with a friend and would like to boost my 24 Tyranid models from the "Battle For Macragge" box with some more cheap plastic to get to 750 points and see how they behave against Dark Eldar. And the community came through.

At the start of every project there is “taking inventory” for me. Just to see, what do I have, what do I want and what do I need.

In this case, to play 3rd edition Tyranids it have what’s in the “Battle For Macragge” box.

10 Termagants miniatures
6 Genestealer miniatures
8 Spore Mines miniatures

Spore Mines are not a thing in 3rd IIRC so that leaves me with 166 points of ‘nids. We need more!

And this is the part where Gorram comes in. They kindly send me an old 4th edition ‘nid army. I thought it would be the contents of the box I had again. Boy was I wrong. Behold! The Army!

If I count correctly (and I’m having a heard time identifying all of them) we have:

22 Genestealers
3 Spore Mines
18 Termagants
8 Gargoyles
8 Hormagaunts
2 Tyranid Guards
3 Tyranid Warriors
1 Hyve Tyrant
1 Thornback Carnifex

Especially with the big guys in the background it’s hard to see what they are. But I will come back to that one everything is stripped, build and primed. I guess it is safe to say we are way above 750 points XD

Stripping alcohol is already ordered, now I need a suitable container to let them soak.
