ZeroWolf Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 I blame the Bladeguard myself while the intercessors only had the shoulder trim and chest to do, they had a whole heap more. Still, progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Indeed, more then me. I bought the box sets that the blade guard came in years ago..... they are still on the sprue. I get very easily distracted. Saying that though, I stuck to my guns so far today, started to apply a run of test paints for my Tyranids rather than start anything new. Looking forward to seeing more. ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've locked down my nid scheme, got pretty close to what I had before. Good luck with your tests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Progress! the Bladeguard have their robes and everyone has their purity seals! I even started the necron at the captains feet I've still got some annoying parts that I plan to rectify tonight.

MithrilForge Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Always Great to see painting progress looking good !! you gotta give the Necron some awesome metallic look .... make it pop like an impressive kill Cheers, M ZeroWolf and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks! Yeah the Necron warrior (why only a warrior GW? I'd be more impressed if it was a destroyer ) is languishing at the base coat stage at the moment. It'll hopefully match the rest of my necrons once finished.

ZeroWolf Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 While I'm hoping to get some more work done tonight, this is looking to be where I'm at before Leviathan gobbles up all my time: I've cleaned up where I found mistakes and got the texture paint on bases (I find it easier doing like this) three assault intercessors (the ones from the paint set with the unique poses) are also washed though annoyingly I found even more mistakes doing that!. If I get chance I plan to wash the rest tonight and be within striking distance of getting them all done before Call to Arms starts....

Firedrake Cordova Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Looks like you're getting there. The texture paints work nicely, especially when washed with multiple colours to create variation in tone, and drybrushed 23 minutes ago, ZeroWolf said: before Leviathan gobbles up all my time That's the problem with Tyranids, they gobble everything MithrilForge and ZeroWolf 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Nice work bud, so much detail gobbles up time as well , you miss little bits here n there and find them later so you have to back pedal and fix them etc (we’ve all done it ) at least your making the effort to power through them !!! cheers , M BadgersinHills, Firedrake Cordova and ZeroWolf 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroWolf Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 So...I still didn't get those figures finished like I hoped. I was a little busy sorting these fellas out: the nid half of Leviathan is done (the space marines on the other hand...let's not talk about them!) In my blog I've been doing a break down of the building process (link in my signature). Painting starts on these Saturday, wish me luck!

Eberious Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I've been trying not to build anything until I've got my Tyranid paint scheme down, which isn't going great. But I caved and built the 20 Gants in the box. Have broken out the airbrush and got it set up, so testing with that will commence this weekend.

ZeroWolf Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 I quite liked the gaunts, they went together really nicely. Hope you find a scheme you like! I'm going to have to play around for certain elements, like all the exposed brains that seem to be in abundance here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a case of not being able to decide on the colours, or working out how to implement it? Rather unsurprisingly, there's a lot of Tyranids painting content appeared on YouTube in the last month or so - I don't know if any it would help?

Blindhamster Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 what scheme are you going to do for the nids? Also, any update on the ultramarines? ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing green flesh and purple bone for the nids, though I am going to have to experiment for the brains as I want them to stand out. As for the Ultramarines, sadly I wasn't able to get back to them with building Leviathan taking all my time. At the very latest, I can pick them up again in October when I'm going to push myself to get the Leviathan half done before I get anything new (famous last words). If I get my nids finished earlier I'm going to play in by here. Blindhamster and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Here's where I'm at so far: So much to do, so little time Rusted Boltgun and Razblood 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Finally have everything that needs a base coat of green, green. If I was to stick with my original plan, I'd now go and give everything a base coat of purple...but I don't have it in me to do that so... Here's two Neuroloids instead. I used aethermatic blue for the brains and I think it works, especially with the snowy bases they'll end up in. My new approach will be to work at squad level, which means hopeful my first units complete will be these two and the Neurotyrant and then I'll go from there (I'm looking at the Neurogaunts next as I reckon they'll paint up fast.)
