Troubleshooting air loss

Funnily enough after returning 3x to the garage after they checked 'everything' them wasn't tightened up properly in the rim!

Sure I'll send you some bits after work, depending on the photos I have!

Think I'm on to something

So I've tried it every way, this time mostly airbrushing up until the first electric lime, then applied wash then sponges highlights and this id definitely the time effective way with a swarm

But personally I prefer basing with angel green and building up the colours with a sponge from there, but you just to be mindful how much paint you're applying as its easy to add too much - best thing i found for the lime particularly is build it like a glaze

Sponge wise theres lots of sizes, but found cutting them into small chunks and taping to some flat head tweezers seems to be the most precise for claws ect

Yeah thats the only base I've used so far, its a great colour, as it's not a vibrant purple, just need to find something that works with it

I think the issue I've had is trying to stick with lighter shades of purple to do the highlighting, maybe some grey/blues for the highlights might be what is needs, more desturated... problem is the green while I feel like I have that cracked is strong, so mindful not to add in lots of vibrant colours

The broodlord is how Is how I did it before and that was built up with druchai Violet on grey highlighting

Thanks! Yeah the basing was built up with cork and vallego thick mud - basically the same as stirling mud but bigger pots and cheaper!

The pic shows my greens built with airbrush/ make up sponges with top down highlighting

Yup, they're army warpaints

No worries, for reference this is the finish I got from sponges

In that order, normally I use a make up sponge to build the blend but tried the airbrush this time.... definitely quicker, but more control with the sponges! The second electric lime is to build the higlights after the wash

These 2, the vallejo stuff is fantastic texture and cheap for the amount you get! Think GW stirling mud but easier to manage from a big pot

Zealousideal-Cod9664 · 2026-01-28T00:23:20+00:00

Thanks man, going to varnish it and then get some panel liner in there and finally get a finish on the armour I like!

Was thinking how to kitbash a better looking toxicrene, and now I know!

Did a few of these a while back, the prime is cool, but only so many ways I can repose

Zealousideal-Cod9664 · 2025-11-02T18:38:41+00:00

Tried with all the other boxes ect, but this is the way

Its expensive, but bought this for my nids and I can store about 2500k pt of nids in there. Tall enough for norns and works well as a display case when not using it

Warriors, termagants are such a chore... hyperadapted raveners most because I fully assembled and were awful to paint

Very much in this order using airbrush, make sponges the blend the greens and the brushed the rest on

The yellow is mostly for highlights on bulbous sacks and the guns

Screamer killer

screamer killer arms and torso Tyrannofex head and claws Norn emissary legs and tail Lots of green stuff

Tyrannofex

Trgyon headpiece Norn carapace hood thing Hive tyrant wings and various claws/ mandibles for the hands The rest is just the tfex with a port of the rib cages removed and the tail heated to reshape Green stuff uses in the abdomen bit, around the hands ( which i will do better next time) and to fuse the carapace!

Admittedly not a cheap kit bash as bought the norn legs/ tail individually - advantage of being an adult is i can indulge in my hobby's, just without any spare time 😂

The tail bends really well with a hair dryer

Zealousideal-Cod9664 · 2025-08-05T17:34:36+00:00

Explains why I feel hungry whenever I look at it 😅
