ImperialSquishiness Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 My Xmas present from the wife is a while bunch of bugs to start a new army. I've got: Start Collecting Box Hormagaunts box Termagaunts box Venomthropes/zoanthropes box So, where do I go from there? Probably get another set like that so I have 24 of the basic gribblies and 16 stealers. Want to grab an exocrine or tyrannofex for some big dakka. Maybe a few fexes and tyrant too. Any other suggestions? Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am wondering if Chapter approved will change things for nids... I am hoping tervigons get discounted. We will know soon. Most of the units you listed are solid enough. I want to pick up a Malanthrope or two at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azekai Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Nice and cool. Digging the snow. Is it white glue? ImperialSquishiness 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialSquishiness Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Nice and cool. Digging the snow. Is it white glue? Thanks. Bicarbonate of soda, pva and water. A lot cheaper than buying snow flock or valhallan blizzard! Azekai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Great work on this, you're super efficient with the painting - is that a blue wash over the white base coat for the skin, then brown wash over the carapace?

ImperialSquishiness Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Good work mate! Always good to see a WiP plugging along. I like the snow Tyranid motif; some chopped up Space Wolves would look nice on some bases lol. I'm going with T'au. I have an irrational hatred of them!

ImperialSquishiness Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Great work on this, you're super efficient wit hthe paintin - is that a blue wash over the white basecoat for the skin, then brown wash over the carapace? Vallejo grey undercoat out of an airbrush, followed by Guilliman glaze. Then dry brushed ulthuan grey and use a bit of white scar to pick out higher details for the skin. Carapace/bone is ulthuan grey over the top of the undercoat, agrax wash, drybrush ulthuan grey, army painter Brainmatter beige for edge highlights, then white scar for the final highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialSquishiness Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 These look great! How did you create that clear Lictor? The wife bought it for me. So it's probably from a recaster! Lol Rescued on old metal Old One Eye from a local second hand shop. Looks much better now! NTaW 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I absolutely love your scheme! I'm thinking of starting nids and was thinking about doing a pale blue like yours. Mind sharing your recipe again? I'm sure it's already here somewhere if I read through more thoroughly...

ImperialSquishiness Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I absolutely love your scheme! I'm thinking of starting nids and was thinking about doing a pale blue like yours. Mind sharing your recipe again? I'm sure it's already here somewhere if I read through more thoroughly... Thanks man All undercoated with vallejo grey primer. Skin colour is guilliman glaze over the primer (contrast before contrast was a thing, now out of production I hit up all my local hobby stores and bought about 6 pots of it!), drybrush in ulthuan grey. Chitin/bone armour is ulthuan grey over the undercoat, agrax wash, ulthuan grey drybrush, army painter brain matter beige as an edge highlight. Talons/claws are vallejo black, then the fade is airbrushed in using sotek green, temple guard blue, baharroth blue and white scar. I then edge highlight each section with the next step in the progression, ie, Black highlighted with sotek green, sotek green highlighted with temple guard blue and so on. Really easy to do. Quick, simple and effective. Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Wait guiliman blue glaze is discontinued?? I only have 1 pot! I love this technique so much I may have to make a trip to my local shops in hopes they have some left Lol. Really appreciate the info! Will definitely be watching this thread moving forward!
