After 10 years out of the hobby, I've jumped back in and got right to painting up a new Tyranid army (as well as a few other projects). I've been familiarizing myself with some old techniques and started testing out some new ones.
I'm magnetising where I can and love the idea.

This is the first lot I've completed. Let me know what you think of my current efforts and any tip or suggestions.

Tervigon










Carnifex






Zoanthropes




Termigants

I really like the colors and the Tervigon is my favorite out of the bunch. I think the base really ties everything together.

I really like that blue highlight, caught my eye straight away.

I love the Space Hulk genestealer color scheme!

Wow that carnifex is sweet! Love it!

Thanks guys!

The fluff for my Hive Fleet is that they are only a slight variation on the originals from Space Hulk. Possibly the last remnants of an ancient hive that spawned Behemoth and Kraken fleets. All my Genestealers (currenly WIP) are using the original scheme.

Thanks! I'm really proud. It was my first attempt at using Green Stuff and modding in any way. It's all magnetised too!!

They look menacing!

Excellent color scheme. They almost look like they're under a blacklight. Are those Secret Weapon bases?

I particularly like the tl-devs on the Carnifex, well executed!

Magnets are so useful.

I love the colour scheme. They look both menacing and alien at the same time.

Thanks! Yes, sir. Secret Weapon bases are awesome. I had used another brand to base my Home Brew Space Hulk Terminators and Genestealers with a similar checkerplate style but as soon as I saw the Steel Invasion bases, well...

Thanks!

Show us your Genestealers!

When they are done. Currently WIP. I should finish some up over the weekend....

Your enthusiasm is encouraging. Thanks!


EDIT: Can't spell either

Beautiful colour scheme, really eye-catching and menacing... I love it!

Looks amazing, man. I can tell you spent a lot of time on that Tervigon. All those tones and colors forming into the belly look intricate. Those colors and bases look like a Tyranid infestation happened on a deep sea underwater vessel.

The color scheme is great, should be impressive on the battlefield

very nice !

I want to face stuff like this :( it must be awesome to have such beautiful models to shoot down. They are gorgeous!

Thanks heaps guys. I can't wait to get them on the battlefield. Just a Hive Tyrant, 'Stealers and sporepods to go and I'll have a 1000 point army! Will add pics in a day or so.

Thanks! The Tervigon took the most time and care I've ever spent on a mini. I think it played off.

Now that is a nice colour scheme. Good work!

Those look really stunning, I particularly love the green glow on the Tervigon!

Beautiful work, I have no advice because your already doing great...Keep it up!
