Trying something new - I think this is how I'll paint devourers now. I still have to finish the Tyrants devs

I think the jungle bases need 1 highlight layer

I'll paint the skin and teeth last I think.

Colour palette looks superb, and Iike the way that devourer looks like it's nibbling leaves

Thanks!

Alright now for the next order of operations I have:

- Gaunts = basecoat bleached bone, highlight teeth and eyes, repaint carapace, gloss, base rim edges black and tufts
- Big Bugs = Rehighlight white on some stones, brighten the leaves on the bases 1 highlight and also wash the plants a deeper green in the crevices, paint the skin, teeth, eyes on the carnifexs and tyrants
- Extra: Red and Blue Barrels and the broken fence on the tyrants base. Might use pigments on these bases - unsure. Was thinking veins on wings in purple? could look bad

Short term for this week:

Finish highlights, teeth, eyes, gloss, and base on 3 Carnifex DONE


I estimate the Carnifexs are about 3 hours to finish each and the Flyrants are 4 hours to finish each. I'll post the finished first refurbished Carnifex tonight or tomorrow.

First of 3 done

Carnifex 2 is DONE

I shaved about an hour off of my time but was a bit more messy when painting #2

These look great. Love the dakka.

Okay those 3 are done

Now I need to grind through the gaunts this entire week.

I don't want to paint the flyrants until I actually want to use them in a game or know their load out. I might magnetize the flyrant. I have a ton of projects I can work on but I'm hype to play my nids

Nids look amazing and that group shot with the little buggers immediately made me itchy... job well done And love the last pic, looks so great with those monsters stalking the city.

I gotta rip the arms off the forgeworld flyrant - not sure what the load out will be.



I'll paint the gaunts this week

I always love to see the classic Alien Queen hive tyrant, good stuff. The purple devourers work well.

Always loving your tables, such lively and detail-filled environments

Loving the Nids Steve! The purple and gloss black really pop.

My friend played the leaked tyranids vs my marines

Marines won actually



Here are the dakkafexs in full glory



Some dope terrain angles

Finished 1/2 the gaunts in total. I'm going to power through the next few days and finish the rest

That is a good number of Gants. You must be happy with their upgraded guns, eh?

They're alright - taking a breather and working on 6x screamer killers/magnetized carnifexs

More work

Wow, six more big ones to go with all those gaunts.

Shudders...

Cheers,

CB

First screamer killer carnifex finished! No good photos yet since I had to work today

Another one #5

You are a freaking machine.

Thanks Gravenimage! I'm going to finish Screamer Killer #3 today and maybe one of the flyrants this weekend. I really want to marathon the rest of my bugs since I'm on a roll now

This is like an instant-Hive Fleet blog now. Just add water!

Oh, is THAT why Librarians always have those special cowls.

Fantastic work!

Screamer Killer #3

All 3 of these were far messier than the Dakkafexs

I'm keeping this style basing for some of the warriors but making the green up to a almost Moot Green / Scorpion Green

12 Warriors + Prime working on as a break from painting 3 more Carnifexs

I think I'm having a productive day, then I see you
