In this video I show you how i kitbash used kitbashing, to customise an entire tyranids tyranid hive fleet from Warhammer 40k. There are lots of new models in the new Warhammer 40000 40k Leviathan starter box from the 10th Edition of Warhammer 40000. So why not give it a go?

The models i painted were -
The Swarmlord
a Hive Tyrant
a Trygon
Old One Eye
9 Carnifex
3 Dimachaeron
13 Warriors
a Broodlord
25 Genestealers
and 3 Hive Guard
thats around 3500 points!
The is scheme based off the Protomolecule Hybrids in the Amazon TV series 'The Expanse' ‪@theexpanse4026‬ directed by Breck Eisner and based off the book series by James S. A. Corey, which is a pen name used by collaborators Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
My concept for this army was what would it look like if tyranids were infected with the Protomolecule from The Expanse? The result is a grimdark and scary, super alien, army of bugs!
This army is also what would be referred to as NIDZILLA - an army comprised of lots of big tyranid models!

For everyone like me who wants a list of the paint supplies used: - The Army Painter "Anti-Shine" Varnish Primer (1st base) - Citadel Paints "Martian Ironearth" Technical Paint (cracks for carapace) - Matte Black Primer (2nd base) - Citadel Paints "Kislev Flesh" Layer Paint (zenithal highlights) - Citadel Paints "Carroburgh Crimson" Shade Paint (edge highlights) - Citadel Paints "Stormhost Silver" Layer Paint (teeth) - Molotow ONE4ALL "Signal White" Acrylic Paint (white highlights on vents/claws) - Citadel Paints "Aethermatic Blue" Contrast Paint (layer over white) - Winsor & Newton "Manganese Blue" 37ml Oil Paint + White Spirit (oil wash for cracks and crevasse) - White Spirit (remove oil reside or build ups) I found almost all of these on amazon for pretty cheap. All and all looking at about £20 for primers, £25 for paints inc oil and like £5 for the acrylic paint bottle (30ml, not the 180ml one shown). £50 to paint that many models seems pretty good? [edit] The only thing I'd maybe do differently is paint the claws, hooves and weapon parts in general separately. The look a little flat in the final product but still amazing. Def going to give it a go once my supplies arrive.

Glad it inspired you :) As for no airbrush....the black and flesh base ...spray cans. The white highlights could easily be done with a spray can or dry brushing. And the contrast and washes can be done by hand. If you are going to dry brush I'd advise varnish as it really toughens up the crackle paint.

@SlayerMiniatures 2 жыл бұрын

Its an Iwata Eclipse, needle size is 0.35? It's was around 35psi. You basically release some wash/contrast then just air. Then use the air to dry it. And blast again :)

I had the same with getting pressures right. To be honest it's trial and error. Do a test on a piece of paper or your hand..if it 'spider webs' it's too high. I spray between 20-35psi most of the time but will lower it if its not playing nice ha. Hope that helps you out

Hey have to add another comment, hope that is fine ! First of all - Tried that tutorial, 36 termagants finished and they look really good, tutorial is perfect for a beginner with the airbrush ! Have just a question for the color selection of the contrast paint - Is there a reason for aethermatic blue that has a turquoise touch, and hence not fully going with the manganese blue oil wash ?

@SlayerMiniatures Жыл бұрын

Yeah I used Aethermatic Blue as its a good mid colour between the oil and white. It adds to the glow effects to use two blues. Just using the Blue oil wasn't enough. Glad you liked the guide :) how did you adapt the guide to termagants?

@WingedMunchies1 2 жыл бұрын

i would love to do something like this however i dont have an airbrush and wont be able to get one for a bit, can you show how one might go about doing something like this without an airbrush?

@SlayerMiniatures 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there winged munchies. Without and airbrush the white highlights could easily be done with a white spray can on the larger bugs. On small ones you may struggle with a spray can. I would say the easiest and less risky method would be to do dry bushing. I cannot do a completely seperate guide for these using normal brushes at the minute, but i will bare it in mind for a future video. I also may include non airbrush options in all my videos going forwards as i am mindful that not all people have them. Check out the Artus Opus youtube channel, byron does some amazing things with just dry brushing and some of the techniques may inspire you to adapt to this video?

@@SlayerMiniatures You know, i have tried it once. Didn´r really got into it. But maybe seem to like it, even scientist. So i might wanna retry.^^ Btw the technique on how you painted those looked super lose and relaxing. Pretty good result.
