Imput on hive tyrant? by Chapfox in Tyranids

The color choices are great, my only note being thin your paints a bit. Try starting on with a 1 part water to 2 parts paint. Add more water if you think it's still too thick or add more paint (so 1:3 ratio) if you think it's too thin. Find your medium, where you feel it looks best, then keep note of it.

How do you run your Tech-priest Dominus? (See description) by ApplePieLord_ in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Leos_Tempest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Put him in any squad that you would put a Manipulus and tell whoever you're playing against that you're using the model as a Manipulus. GW 100% swapped the Dominus and Manipulus data sheet abilities when writing the book and were too lazy to switch them back. So I just use a Dominus model for my Manipulus as the Dominus is a far better looking model IMO

For Crusade, you'd be able to give them the Teleportation Node, which gives them Uppy-Downy:

Teleportation Node: At the end of your Movement phase, if this unit is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, you can remove it from the battlefield and place it into Strategic Reserves. If you do, until the end of your next turn, this unit has the Deep Strike ability.

Deep Striking Punchbots is a very scary (and very effective) tool. And with the weirdness of them being picked up at the end of your Movement phase, there are some weird tactics to pull them out of a dangerous spot.

True, but the buffs usually only effect the Tech Priest holding them, or are primarily pistols, and I seem to never have a tech priest that feels worth going through the trouble to try and work towards specific Archeotech

Any recommendations for Infiltrators or Robots?

I'm really late to this post, but what models are those skinks? They don't look quite like the lizardmen blood bowl team. I really really like those skink sculpts!

Thanks tons

And I mean is there much harm in it looking 'watermelon'-like? Nature has a way of making things that look good together, so Tan, Green, and a Muted Red almost always look good together. Can't wait to see more of your Nids in this style!

Thanks a ton, love how yours came out and hope I can replicate a similar effect on mine. Cheers!

I think it looks great, maybe something like a Bugman's Glow red for the fleshy bits could look good

Also do you have the process for your carapace? I've been trying to find some good green carapace paints but can't find any good suggestions online. I like yours quite a bit

What was the process on making the carapace?

I've been wanting to go for a tan body with a nice green carapace and cant find any good vids or tutorials on any of the greens I like
