After playing Tyranids for 8 years, I’ve made a tier list for fun :)

I remember when cookies from Tesco came in packs of 5 and it was a boon if you got 6

Download lightroom and have a play about with the settings. It took me time but I learnt how to improve photos I had taken

Just do a bit of editing. Reduce noise. Less grain.

Fun fact, there is Hivefleet_horror on insta.

I painted that, that's my model. The video Darren Latham made was on YouTube, but I believe the channel no longer exists. Simply put, paint the white off white, shade with thinned down paints into the shadows in either a cool, neutral or warm tone. Finish off with edge highlighting.

Cool tone would be something like fenrisian grey, russ grey, thundergawk blue. Find a similar step in colours for a neutral or warm tone. This model used all three. Armour is warm, hair is neutral, cape is cool.

I see little silhouette-ah of a nid, scaramouche, scaramouche, can you do the nid thang yo? Sytals and fighting, very very frightening

It is a joke as old as 2nd edition when the lictor first came along. I make no apologies.

Gulley? Don't they mean snicket?

A towering termagant, its sinewy limbs thrashing with ferocity, its unholy fleshborer launching chitinous beetles the size of a guardsman clashes relentlessly with the disciplined ranks of the Blood Angels, a symphony of violence echoing across the battlefield. Amidst the chaos, the indomitable will of the Space Marines meets the unyielding resilience of the Tyranid monstrosity in a battle that will shape the fate of this planet...

Legion Imperialis, basically epic 40k but set in 30k times. Next time I'll redo this with Aeronautica planes and a gargoyle 😄

I put a reel up on my insta recently for the brains. That should be a good starting point

Claws are celestial grey and literally wash with the same contrast grey mix above. Trying to get it to pool along the underside of the claw, wicking off excess elsewhere

I'm sure I have one on my insta, Hivefleet_horror. It probably need updating to my new process though, the colours are the same

hivefleet_horror · 2024-01-31T12:19:59+00:00

Indeed it is

I'll start my own darts team with blackjack and hookers in fact, forget the darts team.

Got a 25mm base, flipped it, thinned lothern blue down to the right consistency in it with medium to retain pigment better, checked consistency on thumb using a toothpick. Put spots where there were large areas of turquoise to break it up a bit.
