Could the Swarmlord beat goku?

Reblog for more sample size if you want

*sniff, sniff* 🥲 It's like I'm finally being seen. I can't believe how beautiful this card design is. (I need one for Plants also, though)

The apex of the apex. The Behemot of the great devourer.

The Tyranid "Swarmlord" of the Leviathan Hive-fleet.

Feel free to C&C

Got this Swarmlord from a mate.

Felt kinda bad ripping it off its base, but p proud of this one so far. Gonna finish it up tonight.

Should be able to get the rest of the paints I need for the 'nids tonight or tomorrow!

Tyranid Swarmlord

I have finally built the swarmlord! After months of debating, in a different house, after one accidental report of the original post, it is complete! And I... Love it. The giant creatures, the advantage, the synergy, the gender contained within these weird giant bugs! It's a work of beauty! There's something just magical in making a creature like a 20/20 and giving it trample, in playing simic ascendancy and saying that killing my commander makes me win quicker actually. Playing multiple grumgully effects and riot with hardened scales to increase every single iteration of +1/+1 counter gain. Looking back at my history in magic, there's a lot more green than I thought. Eldrazi ramp and Primordial Hydra as my key card in particular stand out. I mean my favourite deck was Orzhov Extort but I think if I had more time in kitchen table magic I'd be more partial to 'ramp out big creatures and attack'. And the cherry on top is the card advantage. How there are multiple 'draw cards equal to the highest power' in green, and FATHOM MAGE. Gods, fathom mage. That one card is making me reconsider simic as a colour combo. It's really really fun to pile counters on creatures! Finally found a blue deck I enjoy!

The Great Devourer

Diego Gisbert Llorens

Any horny idiot could fuck the Swarmlord. But would you care for the Swarmlord? Rest his huge head against your body, tracing along his carapace with an idle finger as he describes the icy aloneness of being the sole sapient among all his siblings? Soothe him when he awakes from nightmares of past deaths? Assure him that he is so much more than a tactical machine and a set of blades, that he has worth beyond capacity for violence? Nobody ever thinks past the first night.

Move over monster fuckers, we’ve got a monster romancer in the inbox

My rule of thumb for 40k is that none of it. Really makes any sense. It’s not a serious setting.

Can the Ultramarines beat X threat? Yes but only if Cato is there. Ships can blow up continents but sometimes armies wait to see the whites of their enemies’ eyes. A Primarch can never lose while their theme tune is playing. Tyranids switch massively between portrayals depending on whose Codex it is, a given IG regiment can seesaw from tactical genius to the flesh equivalent of those Star Wars battle droids when convenient, everyone loses 30 IQ points when fighting Tau because the writers need to show off Tau ingenuity but most of them can’t actually pull it off so they just make the other guys dumb instead to compensate. The Swarmlord forgets that it’s psychic sometimes. Who replaces all those dead Space Marines? Don’t worry about it.

The Swarmlord

Since its Tuesday, It means its time to post one of the old minis I painted! Here's The Tyranid Swarmlord I painted for my brother some years ago!

The Swarmlord of Hive Fleet Keres, Tyrant of the Eastern Fringe, Sword of the Great Devourer. The fell intelligence which guides the chittering hordes and monstrous bioforms of Hive Fleet Keres through the hives and habs of the Adanac Reach, many a hero of the Imperium has been cut down by the deadly, chitinous sabre-organisms wielded by the beast.

Can't make big-brain plays without a big head!

Was kitbashing a tervigon/zoanthrope head onto a swarmlord a silly choice? Absolutely! But I couldn't help myself.
