Today I want to show you one of my zoanthrope models I painted quite some time ago:
It was very amazing when I found out that spikey bits posted this model in their "Army of One" category after my boyfriend uploaded some pics of her in their facebook group. Click here to watch!
After a short time of thinking it was clear to me that the models should have jungle bases. When I chose the pinkish color I always had some crazy pinkish purple jungle flowers in mind. Also I wanted to make something new. My boyfriend's chaos army is winter themed, his 30k sons of horus have brownish desert / wasteland bases and my collection of "Mini-Magier" (sry for the german term) have orange looking desert bases. So in my mind nothing else could fit.
The base of this zoanthrope is one of my favorites. She floats in the middle of the jungle on a little rock where some mini spore towers (ruthlessly stolen from my genestealers ^^) started to grow. They even emit some light (yep one of my first tries to make something like ambient lightning - I'm quite happy as it looks much better than expected). Around the rock you can find the jungle where the whole ground is overgrown with grass and moss.
Greetings to all you tyranid fans out there!
