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:

I've been (slowly) working on another brood of Tyranid Warriors, but in the meantime, here's the continuation of the previous video:

I've managed to finish my last of the 9 Warriors, which means I am just a couple of models away from a fully painted 2000pt army.

Still really great, like everyone else has said.

Though guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.

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.

I can understand your qualms about "destroying" the boat model, but it looks really good and will be an awesome base!

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!"

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.

Another WIP. I'm recording the entire dotting process and keeping a running tally of how many dots I've applied.

At this point I am roughly halfway done with the dot patterning, at 1,999 dots over 67 minutes.

I'm not sure which is the more impressive, the actual dots, or the willingness to keep track of them.I

Good job, looks great so far.

That's a lot of dots. Which is frightening given that you're only 50% done.

It's going to look unspeakably awesome though when you're done. No doubt.

And one last WIP: All the patterning done.

4,531 dots. So I was a bit under halfway.

129 minutes of patterning, start to finish.



No more WIPs, next will be the completed model.

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.

That’s a LOT of dots! Awesome work keeping track as well as laying them all down.

Excellent beastie! Love the splash effect on the base.

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!
