I'm a bad blogger!

So it's been a truly lousy year, and likely to get worse in the next couple of months, but to cut a long story fairly short, I'm likely to be homeless and jobless in about a month, again. Life seems to be taking great pleasure in crapping all over me. Still! I do have time to get some serious hobby done, and by done, I'm trying to get things finished, properly finished. Which is nice. Sadly, most of the reasons I haven't finished projects is partly lack of motivation and partly lack of specific models, still, working on a shoestring budget is quite satisfying. So first mini project is getting the Tyranids done, and the lack of a mycetic spore model has been bugging me for a while. Mainly coz my warriors dislike walking across the board getting slaughtered, So! Had to find something suitable! I looked into the plasma hatcher idea that has been roaming around the net for a while, but decided to take it a little further,  These are dragons universe toys, they come in several sizes and types.  The two I am using are about 4" and 6" high, depending on the size of the brood! The crater isn't really important, but I had some lying around. The top comes off, but I quite like having it there, makes a nice LOS blocker in Tourny games. This is one of the larger ones, I tend to use it for larger broods of warriors while the smaller ones are for single fexen or small elite broods like zoans. Size comparison  That's the big one next to the lovely tyranofex. Not bad for under 3 quid?
