I nicked this list of rumored bio-weapons off of BOLS. I’m looking forward to the Tyranids. We’re going to be very busy! Tyranids are a strength of our studio. Tyranids are my second-favorite army (first is Eldar).<\/p>\n

Back in 1997 I started playing 40K. I ran an RPG and every week two of my players would take off to play a game at Fitz’s house. There were no game shops at that time. I bought some Eldar Aspect Warriors from a friend for $40. My first painting attempts were pathetic beyond belief. After building an Eldar force I turned to Tyranids. I didn’t know the first thing about Assembly. I tried to glue them together with hardware store epoxy glue (which has to dry overnight).<\/p>\n
