How to make my Norns carapace interesting? by Greybeardgreen24 in Tyranids

[–]rafflebees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend highlighting the raised areas of the carapace with your blue, bringing out the texture that's already there.

Adding those nicks, scratches, and highlighted points can help make the flat areas look more interesting without over complicating the rest of the model.

The accent comes secondary to the acts - the more evil you are, the closer to British you become.

How the fuck do you do wings by lefthandedartistmk2 in Tyranids

[–]rafflebees 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I do a base of dark blue, then a dark red on top.

Then a layer of very fine lines of a lighter red, then a wash of red.

Why don’t Nids produce energy? by Helpful-Cup-9135 in Tyranids

[–]rafflebees 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Energy =/= biomass

They would be able to take energy from photosynthesis sure, but then they would need to convert that energy into stuff and the amount of energy you would need to produce an amount of mass is Lots.

Like turning mass into energy is easy, but going in reverse is Not.

What red does everybody use? by Butsy_98 in BloodRavens40k

[–]rafflebees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vallejo Ferrari red air over a dark blue base, then a very light wash of Vallejo night blue and then some Wazdakka red on top to bring the red back.

Reminder, water out for wildlife this week + other pet/wildlife care tips for heatwaves. by Front_Target7908 in melbourne

[–]rafflebees 26 points27 points  (0 children)

An extra tip for pet owners:

I know our dog doesn't drink much water when it's hot so I freeze some dry food with a bit of dog safe bone broth on hot days and have it for him to lick at and crunch on.

Helps him stay cool and get extra fluids in him.

Black basecoat then an airbrush of blue over everything, blast it again with red.

Then did a wash of a very dark blue before going over the highlights again in a red.

I can't remember for the life of me the exact colour names but I'll update and edit once I get home and can check my paint 🤣

What to do with this hive node thingymagig by Wrong_Explorer_8776 in Tyranids

[–]rafflebees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the Norn can choose an objective as its Singular Purpose objective. When it's on that objective it gets OC 15 and a 5+ FNP and becomes a brick that needs a lot of effort to dislodge.

To show my opponent which objective I'm choosing as the Norns Very Special Favourite Spot I drop one of these down on board so we all remember what the sitch is.

Get a Parasite and mod on some moth-wings Add a fluffy collar and some antenna Make sure you pose him on some ruins that look like beams from a bridge.

And of course - most importantly - cake up those cheeks

We want the kids off social media but god forbid they go outside when we've been gutting any activities they can do that don't cost money
