Hive Fleet Gengar: Army Showcase and Lore

Hive Fleet Gengar: Army Showcase and Lore - Warhammer 40k

Рет қаралды 16,196

Күн бұрын

This video is a showcase for my Tyranid Army, Hive Fleet Gengar. Yes, named after the Pokemon of the same name. While there are thematic nods to the namesake, the goal behind the positioning of the army is to have it sit tastefully, in the Warhammer 40k universe, something which I hope comes across in the video.
As it relates to army showcase videos. I wanted to try something a little different, a Thematic Army Showcase of sorts. The idea being showcasing the units of the army, keeping them front and center, while sharing the lore for my homebrew Tyranid Faction. It showcases the various tyranid units for warhammer 40,000 including several conversions which include Gengar's Maleceptor, Tervigon and Tyrannofex (conversion breakdowns are on the way😉).

The idea of a Pokemon becoming known as some horrific mythic creature to the Imperium tens of thousands of years later is hilarious, and fitting for 40k. Great color scheme, too.

@garrettlich7140 Ай бұрын

Makes me think of other Pokemon inspired hive fleets, prehaps hive fleet agron, a metal eating necron attacking fleet that prioritizes heavy armor and burrowing (it then uses said metals to enhance the durability of thier exoskeleton)

I adore your bugs so much. They're my favourite faction in 40k, so seeing them treated with so much love by a hobbyist brings me so much inspiration and joy. Thank you!

@DoctorKalkyl Жыл бұрын

A hive fleet based of my favourite Pokémon, given a smashin' colour scheme and some good lore for adedd flavour. Awesome!

@garrettlich7140 9 ай бұрын

Why stop thier, metagross or magnazone inspired necrons that proitize psychic abilities or electromagnetism Mightyena orks that that love nothing more than using thier teeth too fight Space marines who fight like savage water dragons based of garados yet have a great respect for those who don’t give up Exodite eldar that draw strength from moon and sun thus find balance when using martial and psychic abilities

I'd really love a part 2 of this focused on the conversion work. That (what I assume to be) Tervigon is astonishing.

This is really cool!! The scheme is fantastic, and it’s loaded with good 40k world building and Easter eggs in equal measure. The sibling theory is really clever. Also, a ghost Pokémon inspired hive fleet focusing on fighting what are basically enemy psychic types, and dealing super effective damage to psykers, is hilarious.

I adore this video so much. I only recently really jumped into the army building part of the hobby thanks to a lucky find at a local going out of business sale. I got a large smattering of AoS and 40k pieces for fairly cheap, but as I built test models the Tyranids really stood out as my favorite. So thanks to your video I have started building developing lore of my fleet as I build then, making the process so much more enjoyable, and trying to figure out ways to explain how some of my kitbashes might function within the fleet.

Cool color scheme and great lore. I find lore helps an army's look really gel. How did you craft your lightning effects?

@WhatThe40k Жыл бұрын

Freehand with reference is the key. The pattern was created with a pale version of the desired color, then refined with brighter layers, eventually going to a near white. Then the patterns were tinted with a diluted glaze of that color.

@cellingwood5 Жыл бұрын

Well purposed lore and a great color scheme. How did you get the swords like that? I’ve yet to see a sword tutorial on painting lighting that doesn’t just vaguely amount to ‘paint lighting by just painting lighting’

@WhatThe40k Жыл бұрын

Hehe, that's probably how I would describe the process too😂. Other than shape value matters, using the right brightness towards the center of the pattern. Also you want a darker surface so it pops
