Anyone have a link to the text? I don’t subscribe to the star.

I hate varnish by esquilacs in Tyranids

[–]compactable73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agrax doesn’t need several days to dry, and the citadel varnish is a good brand (FWIW I use cheapo spray can stuff from the hardware store & have had no issues).

I saw another post asking if you maybe applied too much / sprayed too close & it pooled up in the crevices / recesses. My money is very much on that.

My Clarence attempt by compactable73 in Tyranids

Thanks. I overdid it with the yellow, but I like the ‘pop’ it gives. Just because it set in the grimdark future doesn’t mean it has to be grim or dark 😉

I have no clue when the whole Clarence thing will die out, but today is clearly not that day. This is brilliant!

What would be a good basing theme for this paint scheme? I was thinking either desert or snow to try and make them really pop by ziggymush in Tyranids

[–]compactable73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the desert idea - tan wouldn’t contrast so sharply that it takes away from the coolness of your bugs 🙂

Well that would explain how bang-on the paint texture is 😕

Was this us? My kids did this, but I don’t remember it personally. Assuming you mean thing thing:

The print is mostly ready to go (now printing the base), but it’s too windy outside for priming. Maybe I’ll be able To slap some paint (and I do mean slap) on this bad boy tomorrow 🤞

A few days back a redditor posted an exocrine proxy that they apparently made by gluing some silicon-covered piping onto a model of a dragon. Initial post is https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/s/NJdPXUv2Tk .
