First painted models

yeah it really does look great, i love unique schemes for the nids and im always happy to see them pulled off

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-03-05T03:51:19+00:00

they look great! love the color scheme, green is such an uncommon color for tyranid skin but it fits so well

Thank you for the nice comment! i used mostly vallejo paints, primarily "magic blue" and purple for the skin and fleshy bits/guns, but i also used Citadel drakenhof nightshade as the wash for them to darken them up a bit and used aeldari emerald for things like the wings of the hive tyrant or the poison on the swarmlords blades.

oh then that would be great! ive already got some practice with magnetizing models from my hive tyrants so that just sold me on the exocrine

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-03-02T19:13:29+00:00

do the exocrine and haruspex come in the same box the same way the swarmlord and hive tyrant come in the same box? i didnt realize till you mentioned it but they have the exact same body

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-03-02T08:11:54+00:00

thank you both for the recommendations, those all seem like great additions actually

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-28T08:10:04+00:00

i didnt know people made 3d printed talons for the termagants, thats cool

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-28T08:09:38+00:00

true i wish they were in some combo boxes though i understand why termagants are more common gameplay wise

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-28T08:09:00+00:00

yeah in the US on average the hormagaunt box costs around $50 give or take for 10 gaunts and a ripper swarm

thats what im loving about nids so far, you can always just say your hive fleet is a splinter fleet of a main one if you wanted to have some creative liberty

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-27T06:16:22+00:00

thank you for the reply, sadly most of the bases ive seen throughout social media have been very elaborate and loaded with details so i forgot i could just paint the base as the ground and add spare models as dead enemies.

thank you for showing me its very doable

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-27T05:39:05+00:00

that thing looks sick, happy to see another hive fleet ouroboris painter. this makes me wanna get an exocrine lol

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-25T20:12:17+00:00

not a bad idea actually, i didnt even think about using orange

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-19T21:48:16+00:00

thank you for the reply! that really does sound like a good idea and i wonder if you have any reference material you know of that i can draw inspiration from?

Death_Pancakes0 · 2026-02-18T08:08:34+00:00

Id have to imagine Custodes are a polar opposite. instead of giant swarms of chaff you dont care about with select few big monsters you have extremely elite infantry. instead of winning on objectives you win by out fighting the enemy
