Oldschool Zoanthropes [2nd Edition 40k]

Following the Genestealers, I continued straight on with the bright colours and old Tyranids. I had already painted a Zoanthrope a few years ago. Two were still lying around unpainted. It was time to paint them!


The model in the middle is the one I painted before. I have no idea why I decided on a black carapace armour back then. The model on the far right was missing its mandibles, so I repurposed two demonette claws for it.

For games using the 5th edition rules, they also absolutely need a Mycetic Spore. I already have an idea for that...

  1. Love these miniatures! These old school Zoanthropes show their connection to the Tyranid Warrior genome.

  2. Wow, I don't think I've ever seen these painted up before! Personally, I prefer the first snaky Zoanthropes, but these look really good in dark red. Nice work!

  3. Ohh, it's been a while since last time I saw this mini, I love it! Cool oldschool paintjob and excellent work with that conversion, in fact I didn't notice at first sight, it's seamless!
