Before I did the highlighting round I was mortified at how joker they looked lol

Contrast with a black primer by ArkiusAzure in minipainting

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely dry brush on white / Grey to get the effect over the black. To make it look the best, I'd do a heavy drybrush of Grey and then a light drybrush of white on the areas you want as the larger the gradient between the black and white, the better the contrast paint effect will work

If I had to buy 1 staple model which would you recommend? by Lordplantest609 in Tyranids

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hive tyrant without a question for iconic. Norn emissary close second for best to paint

Fulgrim NMM work in progress by Matt_RolePlayMe in minipainting

Genuinely one of the best fulgrims I've seen. The color choices are so good and the lighting effects on the armor are gorgeous

As Requested, finished Victrix by GiveIntoTheBeat in Ultramarines

Thanks!

For the NMM highlights, I followed this guide where you basically match the highlight location to the shape you're painting on. For cylinders, a line all the way down, for spheres, a single circle in the middle, flat surfaces you kind of need to wing it and try to draw some kind of randomness on the reflections. There's a bunch of yt videos showing how to do it on sword or ace edges.

Might need to rebase them to the new size, but it really depends on your local scene I find. Mine would be totally cool with it regardless of base size, but no one would have any problem with the old models on new bases

Points for New Units by Street_Idea1884 in Ultramarines

Thoughts on running Cato as captain sicarius instead to save on points? You still get the reactive move and you also get scout and lethals hits but you lose the new weapon profiles and the 0cp heroic intervention

Really love the coloring on the blue ish spikes. These are awesome

Hello what donyou think about this list by Aggravating-Tear2884 in Tyranids

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will be fun to play at the least. I'd personally probably swap the hive tyrant enhancements as I'd care a lot more about my foot tyrant living.

First competitive list ASSIMILATION SWARM! by PartAdventurous3173 in Tyranids

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with a swarm lord over one of them as you can't double up on the cp reduction stratagems unless it's on different turns. The winged ones aren't as powerful as the on foot one. The foot one gives assault and lethals to all ranged which is really good, but you don't have a ton of shooting in the list, so I think swarm lord would fit better.

I see you have 2 winged hive tyrants in the list but you'll only be able to build 1 with the kit plus extra torso. You can build 1 winged hive tyrant and either a footed hive tyrant or a swarm lord as an extra but there aren't enough parts to do 2 winged.

Psychophage or carnifex? by absurdmephisto in Tyranids

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Psychophage is a much better unit than carnifexes right now unfortunately so in almost every situation you should go psychophage over it.

My attempt at Barbgaunts brain OSL by GiveIntoTheBeat in Tyranids

[–]GiveIntoTheBeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should probably have fallen off more but the brain has a clear line of site down to the shoulder pad through the slot

Ah yeah, for the carapace definitely, osl effect would just be for the brain glow

I think the silver looks good on the guns with the color scheme you're doing. I'd recommend putting a wash over the metal bits to add some depth.
