This beautifully painted Tyranid Barbed Hierodule was in the Forge World display cabinets back at GamesDay 2005.
I really do like this model and the paint job is excellent.
Here is it next to the huge Harridan, but even though it looks small here it still towers over normal sized Tyranids.
More photographs of Tyranids.
The massive Forge World Tyranid Harridan in the Forge World displays from GamesDay.
It is huge and even dwarfs the large Tyranid models from the rest of the Forge World range.
I really do like the colour scheme used for these Forge World models.
Forge World released these entrances many years ago. These were on display at GamesDay 2005.
I’ve always thought of them as a weird concept and wondered why Forge World not only made one, but made a whole range?
Obviously they could be used as entrances to other buildings with someconversion and I have thought about that especially for the CityFight Photographic Tile that has been on my “workbench” for some time. At the moment it only exists on paper, but I do have a 2’ square piece of MDF to use for it!
I wanted to use mainly foamcard and cardboard for the “tile” as it would only be used for photographs and not for gaming. Though at 2’ square could be used for small scale squad actions, or for the Rogue Trader RPG.
As with many projects, at the moment it is in the pipeline and will probably stay in the pipeline for the forseeable future.
At GamesDay 2005 Forge World showed off their fantastic Anphelion Base diorama that used their then new buildings. They also had the scenery on display at their Forge World Open Day.

It was huge!
Always impressed with the amount of time and work that must go into a model like this.
A demonstration game at GamesDay 2005 showed off Epic. Lots of Marines, Imperial Guard, Eldar and Orks.
More photographs of Epic.
At GamesDay 2005 there was a Dambusters style game on, with the Imperial Guard defending and Orks attacking.

Not too keen on the painting on this model, almost pink!
