Nice job, do you use the vice when you’re painting normally? Or just when you’re painting for video?

It would be great if you guys did other methods of painting of Tyranids, especially the feathering technique for the carapace. Alot of people (including me) seem to have trouble figuring it out.

I really like the muted/earthy look that came out of this. I’ve started painting some with this scheme. One thing I changed is that I did the gun with the Talarn Flesh/Baal Red combination also. I didn’t like how the gun on such a large model wasn’t called out.

I’ve also played around with different options for the talons. I tried a more brown color, but that left the entire model too brown. The darkness of the grey really helps tie the colors together.

Keep the 3 Colors Up videos coming, they are a great addition.

These are the best painting tutorials out there but you should do loads more and fewer unboxings

i would also use this for warbeast from legion of everblight. does anyone think otherwise on how to paint warbeast from legion of everblight? Should i just paint them how they are on the box.

You guys missed just about every mold line on the model.

I’d use that wash method for the skin, but base the Carapace with Necron Abyss and mix in highlights on Mordian Blue and a bit of Ultramarine Blue for the larger creatures.

looks great. I might try and make a big vat of wash or use army painters dip to speed up the first step and just dunk the model 2 separate times. I bet that would look just as nice and really speed this up.
