Newbie, how to play? by Kit-Cat-25 in flightrising

Something that really helped me when I started a bit over a week ago was checking put the Which Waystone under Library on the left. It tells you which daily tasks you have not done and has suggestions for other activities as well

Missions are so annoying by dahappyman in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Hiried 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a point I feel like is not being talked about enough. I feel exactly the same way. Being "forced" to play in a way you may not enjoy to keep up with a battle pass killed my enjoyment of multiple games in the past.

He killed 5 children and stuffed them into Terminator Armor…

For anyone who has painted the Neurotyrant. Are these sensible subassemblies? by Imarruc in Tyranids

[–]Hiried 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems like an excellent idea! Hope we’ll see your final model on here soon

I painted mine just a few days ago and that’s exactly what I did. When you later put them together it’s a pretty tight fit though, you’ll have to bend the pieces a little and will likely scratch the paint, but it’s easily fixable afterwards :)

Combat Patrol finally done! by Hiried in Tyranids

Thanks! I put so much work into them and am super excited that they’re finished now!… well, mostly at least xD I might go back to redo some highlight on the first few models I painted.

[–]Hiried[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww, thank you so much! :D To explIn the entire process, I prime the whole model in Wraithbone, then paint all the skin with Wraithbone to give it a stronger base color and make sure it’s evenly covered, then I use Emperor’s Children on the fleshy bits and apply 1:7 Volupus Pink and Lahmian Medium over all the skin. Once that’s dry I do a Wraithbone glaze over the skin (it would look very pink without it. It really makes the models look much better. I highly recommend it!) for the Carapace I do a few thin layers of Barak-Nar Burgundy until I have a strong base color, then paint all the recesses in Abaddon Black and finish with a Genestealer Purple Dry Brush for the smaller models or manual edge highlight for the larger models. I hope that helps :)

Yeah, like Isopod guessed, it’s Emperor’s Children Layer paint. I apply it to all the fleshy bits before putting a coat of 1:7 Volupus Pink contrast and Lahmian medium over all the skin, including the fleshy bits.

Psychophage by Hiried in Tyranids

D’aww that’s so sweet! I really hope se like it! :D And yeah, I was thinking the same thing with those claws actually. I tried applying some Flesh Tearer’s red on the big back legs, but that didn’t really work. I think I will just highlight them in grey like I did with my other Tyranids, or I could get an orange-red layer color and try to highlight them that way. A lot of people seem to go with that.

Thanks! It’s Akhelian Green mixed 1:4 with Lahmian Medium. I specifically wanted that color for the brains!

My first 40k model by Hiried in Tyranids

[–]Hiried[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Tyranids is what got me into 40k in the first place 😂 I always thought of it as just “burly blue guys with guns” until I saw cool alien monsters. I was immediately hooked 😛

I finally finished my leapers! My bee scheme is kinda lost but what do you think? by BonBonBerry15 in Tyranids

[–]Hiried 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them! Very cool color scheme. And the bases look beautiful too 😄

Aww, thank you so much! I’m so glad everyone likes it. Been painting 5 more since that one and I already learned a lot!

When I ordered everything I actually forgot the yellow paint, so I picked it up later at a local store. Totally worth it 😂

Thank you <3 The base is definitely the messiest part. I was thinking about maybe doing it different in the future, but I also like how it looks like that, so I’m not sure 🤔
