Comments: I'm a long time lurker of the Facebook group but never registered properly. Due to recent events I may have a new Warlord Titan on its way to me and this has spurred me on to get my Tyranid Hierophant that I purchased in 2017(!) sorted.

While the main body is a different resin color than the rest and what we normally see, she's a legitimate Forge World xenos terror.  Most interesting.

That's a big bug!

Tyranid Hierodule Bio-Titan No.2 - Hive Fleet Behemoth

Tyranid Genus: Scythed Hierodule
Primary Armament: Gargantuan Scything Talons & Bio-Acid Spray

Broodkin: Hierophant Bio-Titan and Scythed Hierodule

Owner: Anthony B.
Location: California, USA
Comments: My first Forge World superheavy! This model was a ton of fun and is full of detail! The blue effect on the Carapace was achieved by laying down one blue after another with a brush, each one in smaller strokes than the last. The blues I used were Sotek Green, followed by Temple Guard Blue, Followed by Lothern Blue, and then finally an edge highlight of Baharroth Blue.

A fine looking Tyranid specimen, and quite dangerous.

Tyranid Hierophant Bio-Titan No.2 - Hive Fleet Gargaroth

Bio-Titan Classification: Insidious

Tyranid Genus: Hierophant Bio-Titan

Primary Armament: Gargantuan Scything Talons & Bio-Cannons

Hive Fleet: Gargaroth (Behemoth Splinter Fleet)

Broodkin: Insidious(Hierophant); Shrieker(Scythed Hierodule); Flesh Stripper(Scythed Hierodule); Gorger(Barbed Hierodule)

Owner: Goddenzilla
Location: Sheffield, UK
Comments: My Hierophant is mounted on a rather enormous 12” base which was made from 5mm thick styrene.  I’d very much recommend basing this miniature as the legs can be fragile and are prone to warping if not properly supported.  It is crammed with exquisite detail – it really was a pleasure to build and paint.  I really can’t recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful transitions and striations on the chitinous carapace

As Goddenzilla says, basing the Hierophant is essential to stop those thin legs and claws splaying

A bug from nightmares, a superb sculpt by Forge World

 A gestation or absorption pool or Hive Mind node? This planet is doomed!

Great detailing on the fleshy tendon parts too, very insectoid and alien

A fearsome beast indeed, thanks for sharing Goddenzilla!

Tyranid Hierodule Bio-Titan No.1 - Hive Fleet Gargaroth

Bio-Titan Classification: Flesh Stripper

Tyranid Genus: Hierodule Bio-Titan

Primary Armament: Gargantuan Scything Talons & Bio-Acid Spray

Hive Fleet: Gargaroth (Behemoth Splinter Fleet)

Broodkin: Insidious(Hierophant); Shrieker(Scythed Hierodule); Flesh Stripper(Scythed Hierodule); Gorger(Barbed Hierodule)

Owner: Goddenzilla
Location: Sheffield, UK
Comments: This Hierodule was the first Titan sized miniature I ever purchased and it’s still a firm favourite.  The only adjustment I made to the model was the replacement of the Scything Talons which were of an older style than the current Tyranid miniature range.  Even though it’s a little older, it’s still a beautiful miniature with a really savage face and pose!

Update Hierophant Biotitan 1 - 8-7-19

Andrew of the Hive Mind recently shared some good news regarding his Hierophant, as well as some new pictures.

"Quick update, my Hierophant Bio Titan won Armies on parade last year both in its category and overall! It was also selected to be on the Forgeworld Website as an example for the product!"

Big bug!

Love the effects on the base.

An award winner.
