Xenos Alchemist

Here's a supercut of our discussions about Tyranid rumours from the #CreatureConference over the last couple of months, as well as all of our hopes for what we'll see in the upcoming Tyranid release wave.
If you'd like to share your own hopes and dreams for a Tyranid wave, head over to the Modern Synthesist Instagram and share them in the comments on this post.

Here's a deep dive into my thoughts on the new Kroot models that were recently previewed. I talk about my history with Kroot, what I like about the kit, and where I think there could be some improvements.

Got the chance to chat with one of our favourite hobbyists, GrimNGribbly, about what he thinks about the new reveals for Orks, how he got into the hobby, and what he's working on now. He's also the first to take our mad new Xenos Proust Questionnaire.
NOTE: We also recorded the video for this episode, so if you want to see the photos we chat about, you can also check out the video version on YouTube:

For our next video episode of the Xenos Alchemist podcast, we speak to one of the most well-known Tyranid artists around: Hive Fleet Moloch / Marco Schulze!
His conversions—featured in the Codex, White Dwarf magazines, and even the Forgeworld Imperial Armour Four: The Anphelion Project book—launched a thousand hive fleets. But never has there been an in-depth interview with this Tyranid vanguard organism. Until now!
In this episode, we review Moloch's start in the hobby, his time collaborating with the Games Workshop studio, his time away from the hobby, and what brings him back today.
If you're interested in reading up on Hive Fleet Moloch's history, or checking out more photos of his models, the best place to find them is Moloch's Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/hivefleetmoloch/

In this episode of the Xenos Alchemist podcast, we speak to hobbyists Norn.Queen, LadyDothPaints, and Hivefleet_Horror about what life is like for women in the #WarhammerCommunity.
From Warhammer For Everyone to Gatekeeping, to sexy warhammer lady Only Fans accounts, our topics run the gamut, and we finish up with some suggestions on how to make the community more welcome for lady hobbyists.
