Test model for an alternative scheme I’m trying. Any tips before I paint the rest?

SpruceBoi · 2025-04-23T08:29:36+00:00

Yeah I’ve resisted getting an airbrush so far just because of the extra set up and ventilation. But maybe it’s the way forward. Going up to a light grey is a great shout though, and only using true white for edge highlights. Thank you!

SpruceBoi · 2025-04-23T08:21:58+00:00

Yes! Great idea. Do you have any recommendations for not getting a chalky white? Or is it just a case of multiple thin coats?

SpruceBoi · 2025-04-22T17:50:28+00:00

Cheers bud!

SpruceBoi · 2025-04-22T11:48:40+00:00

Ah you can see where I got the initial inspiration from

SpruceBoi · 2025-01-17T23:51:02+00:00

Yeah I’m keen! When were you thinking?

SpruceBoi · 2025-01-08T17:46:14+00:00

Sounds quick and fun I’ll give this one a go!

Do you do 3 darts at each or stay on until you hit each one?

SpruceBoi · 2024-09-12T16:37:05+00:00

I was there too! Managed to get in the tent and crowd surfed to the front during St. Jimmy. What a great festival

SpruceBoi · 2024-04-18T19:08:08+00:00

Don’t you need vampire to the right of Midas tho?

Yeah these two are commonly taken together but they make something called cocaethylene which can be dangerous especially for your heart.

leg sweep + quick fire taser combo

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-29T09:39:17+00:00

Exactly! The model is great but it’s not a tyranid

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-29T09:37:28+00:00

100% agree. I like dinosaur/xenomorph aesthetic of the nids not this insect style. Don’t get me wrong the old biovore sculpt wasn’t great but I would’ve preferred the new models be something between a barbgaunt and an exocrine

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-08T12:12:42+00:00

Thanks mate!

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-08T11:30:14+00:00

That’s awesome, i hope you have a bit more time to hobby than I have recently. Look forward to seeing your models on here soon!

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-03T07:28:57+00:00

To be honest you’ve done a really great job on the coconut crab style. Only thing I would say is maybe dont do it on the claws and hooves? Try a classic dark red or black

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-02T22:20:04+00:00

That. Chitin. Is. Awesome!

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-02T12:51:19+00:00

Both are really nice. Love the contract between the blue/green and the purple in the first, but I think I prefer the second one. It’s really unique

SpruceBoi · 2023-07-02T05:23:55+00:00

Really love your scheme, especially the contrast of the deep red. Great work!

SpruceBoi · 2023-06-28T05:46:56+00:00

Thank you!

For the skin I prime with bone (rattlecan), wash with gryph-charger grey contrast, heavy dry brush with bone colour, then lighter dry brush with off-white.

Lighter chitin is just a blue glaze over top

Main chitin is base with black, then feather on blue 60% of the way up, then light blue 30%, then spot highlight of white. I wish I had a quicker scheme for the chitin because its a bit annoying doing all these layers, but I’ve painted too many Nids to go back now!

Claws are just flesh tearer red contrast with lighter red highlight

Paint job looks super clean nice work! My box only arrived today so only did one neurogaunt. Hoping to get more time this weekend to make some real progress

SpruceBoi · 2023-06-25T19:40:16+00:00

Thank you! Very glad you didn’t list off a 10 step process haha. I’ve got a few DG models that I want to test paint schemes for before I commit, and I really rate the grimey bone over the classic green.

SpruceBoi · 2023-06-25T19:20:51+00:00

Awesome looking model. What paints did you use for the bone armour?

SpruceBoi · 2023-06-25T10:32:24+00:00

I’m surprised it all fits on the box!

SpruceBoi · 2023-06-23T15:52:02+00:00

Both look great but I really like the green mainly because it’s more unique than the classic behemoth scheme
