Blackadder Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Tyranid Cockroaches, Ewhhhhhh! Well here I am laid up with a immobile shoulder and my right arm in a sling and I tell you I am getting stir crazy. Books, TV, Internet surfing, No porn; right arm remember............. Anyway visiting my 40K forums I stumble across this fantastic rendering of a Tyranid army by a certain 'DeadMuppet' his sobriquet. He has produced the most realistic Tyranids I have ever seen. Basing his colouration on cockroaches he has produced the most intriguingly disgusting arthropods I have yet seen so I have set out to duplicate his technique. From what I have seen on his thread he starts out with a light gray primer, I have gray primer, followed by a khaki base coat. I still can press a spray can button so here goes.............. http://i.imgur.com/9IiFe5m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9IiFe5ml.jpg I'm starting with the only Tyranid in my possession; a Hive Tyrant recently purchased. I have very limited experience with painting so this thread will be basically a trial and error excursion into the do's and don'ts of colourization. It should prove fun..............

Brother Heinrich Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Interesting, but the Mods are probably gonna drop the Exterminatus on this thread man. Xenos stuff is a big no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
