No actual new models to show, but I documented the painting process for my Stormtroopers, which is the same technique as on my Death Korps and Renegades:
Such a sweet tyranid army, done to such a high standard. All of the armies on this page look great. Nice to see a tyranid army with a more organic style. Nice.
For as great as the overall work on these beasties is, the pattening, the bases, etc. I think the part that really makes them is the eyes. The way you've done the eyes gives them a real sense of malign intent. It works extremely well on the genestealers.
Thanks for the tutorials, I will attempt your style with my own renegades, and the glow effect is going to be used for sure. Ordered all the transparent vallejo colors, as the effect you have with your renegades is amazing.
It took rather longer than I expected, but I got three Hive Guard done. In the process I recorded footage of the whole process- I intend to upload a Part 2 of the coconut crab scheme tutorial, basically going over the process in more detail and with tips and tricks I've learned along the way.

In another of my rare WIP shots, here's the base for the Hierodule before priming. I was a little nervous about hacking up a $15 resin boat to make it look like it's been stepped on, but I think it's working out.
As Viterbi said.
With the food solidly within the wreck that will look awesome.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
Short update: I finished editing a video on further iteration on the coconut crab scheme. This is basically going through the whole process again, but focusing on the areas where I've noticed people tend to have issues.
Another of my rare WIPs: Basic patterning laid down on the Hierodule, so now on to a few... thousand... dots.
On this model I've made a conscious effort to increase the complexity of the basic patterning. This should help to obfuscate the borders marking the color transitions, which I feel is something I could have done better on my Tyrannofex.
Nice seeing your scheme in the WIP stages and counting the dots is insane (but in a good way ) and very cool to know, because for the life of me I wouldn't have been able to guess the number in any way.
Magnificent miniature with a super paintjob! Crashing the boat paid of, it looks really great on the base. Second monkeytroll on the splash effect, marvelous!
