Title: [BFG] Gribbley Goodness!
Post by: DaCone2 on September 05, 2010, 04:02:32 PM

Me and my friends have just started BFG again and I thought i'd give nids a go.

Here's what i've done so far . . .

Vanguard Escort with feeder tentacles:

Phil-o-mat, probably not mate. I like the added texture it gives.
Not sure what i could use for escort drones though. Warrior heads maybe?

Slight update. He now has friends! ;)

i like the texture of those wires too, i used them extensively on my nurglefleet.
but they could look a little bit to mechanical. but give it a try and just paint them. and if they don`t look right, it`s easier to cover them with gs, than removing gs from them.

can`t say much about your fleet list, never play`d them. and only play`d one time against them.
but it doesn`t look overpowered, what i like!

Ah i see! Is that the bit about being able to take them if your opponent has given his consent?
