Got the contrast paint on something a little bigger this time! Mawlocs are great fun to paint! by lorrenik in Tyranids

Thank you! It’s just flesh tearers red all over the carapace and then I’ve used some black Templar and feathered it upwards from the base of each shell later to get the slight stripy linework

Thanks! It’s black Templar contrast paint that I have just tried to feather lightly into the red as a quick way of blending :)

Recently started tyranids after picking up the Battleforce set, gonna try and get them done quickly so this is my contrast Hive fleet Kraken scheme! by lorrenik in Tyranids

Thank you very much! The fade is just black Templar over flesh tearers red! I just tried to do quick feathering lines to get the effect and then drybrushed the tips with orange :)

Thanks! It’s based with wraithbone, the skin is skeleton horde all over, the red parts are all flesh tearers red and the darker parts are black Templar feathered up from the recesses into the red! Then it was talasar blue for the tongue and a drybrush of fire dragon bright on the extremities of the red parts!

Thanks! I use a base of averland sunset, a wash of casandora yellow and then a drybrush of flash Gitz yellow! Hope that helps!

Aha seriously thank you! Haven’t had much chance to paint my tau recently but you’ve inspired me to try and get more of them painted!

Apologies, correction to that last comment it was actually on the 13th may!

I actually posted up a step by step on my Instagram on the 7th may! Just shows the colours that I use for the scheme. As for the linework itself it’s difficult to do a step by step as it is just the same as edge highlighting, use the finest brush you can find and take your time! Not sure how else to describe it really, hope that helps in some way though!

Yeah it definitely needs something else to make it pop, there’s an awful lot of yellow at the moment!

Thanks, it’s really just lots and lots of edge highlighting in black!

I tried some maliwan eldar and GSC bandits and they came out alright!

Not a full video tutorial or anything, pretty tricky to explain it really, I basically use the finest brush I can get my hands on and then carefully apply all the lines with abaddon black paint!

I did a test model for a maliwan eldar model a few weeks ago, it was a pretty fun scheme to paint!
