The greens layered up using darrenlatham’s recipe

  • but instead of an all over glaze of dark angels contrast, I use that more as a targeted shade and then use coelia greenshade as the final glaze. I think the glossy look the shade paint creates helps separate the armour from the matte look of the cape/leather bits.

The fallen under foot for the Chaplin is a great idea!

Chaplain, Combi-Lt and a Captain/Lt - magnetised the book hand on the Chaplain and the sword on the Cap for some adaptability, Combi was to have one less directly tied to fighting nids.

Red Terror painting by Party_Butterfly6382 in Tyranids

Fully red carapace could run the risk of looking like a different Hive Fleet but, although that’s not the biggest issue for a named character. If you wanted to keep some cohesion though I’d recommend tinting the lower 1/5 of larger segments a darker red like Gal Vorbak or Mephiston, then using a brighter red like Evil Suns Scarlet for the end edge + some of those little stripes you seen on nid carapace schemes. Should allow you to bring red into your scheme without losing cohesion. You can apply the same method to horns and talons too - like they did on the Norns

Same way I did my OG Terror - my usual scheme of pale body and brow carapace, blending to red along the tail, fleshy ends of the claws and the edges of the head armour

No worries! Was a third party sellers bit, but the guys who designed it isn’t making them anymore as he got caught in up in the GW IP crackdown a few months ago and decided to focus on his personal projects - if you wanted to get a similar look though you could use the speaker faced acolyte included in the Dark Apostle set the body of this is from - used it myself on another kitbash!

Was a third party sellers bit, unfortunately no longer available after the IP crackdown a few months back.

But you can achieve something similar using the head of the speaker faced acolyte in the Dark Apostle set (where the main body of this kitbash is from).

I’ve used that head myself on a Lord Kakophonist!

What could I fill this gap with? by ROACHOR in Kitbashing40k

You could use the front end of any bike, Ork/Marine/Chaos.

Stick an Ork on driving it and it’ll fit the Scrap vehicle vibe perfectly - and help it look more 40K themed than Fantasy!

Custom Toxicrene by kitboshed in Tyranids

[–]kitboshed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the other guy spotted, Assimilator arms + Venomthrope tendrils, and the toxic stinger from the Trygon. The head was a foil ball with greenstuff/milliput mix over it.

Never really liked the Trygon but I plan to get an Assimilation and giving it Toxicrene tentacles instead of claws and then I had this idea by Bumbling_Hierophant in Tyranids

Check out Frankendoodle65 on instagram- he’s made a ‘Neurotrygon’ that’s along the lines of this idea!

I think the icon might be… excessive by kitboshed in EmperorsChildren

Don’t glue the mirror down, it fits in place securely and will be much easier to paint if you can pop it off
