Arskull Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) With the new edition brings a new army and as an avid fan of Magic the Gathering I've decided to use inspiration from the Phyrexians to base my Hivefleet on. I was inspired primarily my Elesh norn and her colour scheme which is predominately fleshy red and white. I've added some art work for reference and some of my initial models. EDIT : update, new models - Termagants. Neurotyrant and his pet Neuroloids. Screamer Killer. Edited July 27 by Arskull New models - Termagants DemonGSides, Urauloth, ZeroWolf and 5 others 2 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arskull Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 I'm intending on Finishing the rest of the leviathan box, my next target are some termagaunts! Something I was mulling over was whether to add another contrasting colour, I was thinking changing the weapons from black to a sort of electric blue.

ZeroWolf Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 That could be fun, would make them pop more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I was mulling over was whether to add another contrasting colour, I was thinking changing the weapons from black to a sort of electric blue. I actually quite like the warrior with white weapons. You're going for this high contrast, two-colour look anyway, why not embrace it? Plus, it means the claws and blades can match the various horns and armour spikes, which is nice. A little blue could work, but I wouldn't be painting the entire claw blue, or the bioweapon. Maybe just the 'eyes' or other nodules they usually gave. Anyway, love it so far! Interested to see how it looks on the horde of little guys.

JayJapanB Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Yeah I personally wouldn't go adding a bright blue. I do like the darker transitions in the red, and purple tones in the winged tyrant. You've kept the bold bright reds, but added a bit of the organic gradients. - I'd keep adding that in where you can. Awesome scheme btw.

Arskull Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Ok thanks for the thoughts on the blue, I'll keep it as it is. I'm in the middle of painting 10 Termagants now, I'll post pics up later today if I finish them!

Brother nathan Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Extra thoughts on the blue... check out my hive fleet. Black skin white carpace with red markings... and tourquise... exposed bits... brains and gun tubes etc. I think it breaks up and adds to it without ruining the red white black combo. The main point your likely to see such will be your neurotyrant. You can tie in as much or little as you want with all those vents and such but if its in your head that may be worth looking at...

Jud Cottrell Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Great choice of colours! I agree that the black gradient on the tail etc really adds to the overall effect. Keep them coming! ZeroWolf and Arskull 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother nathan Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Beautiful job! The touch of blue in the brains is nicely done without changing much. Even sharpens the white. Red black transition is class too. Good job! any chance of rear pics of neurotyrant as in progress and cant fully decide my cut off points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroWolf Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I do like the bright red you've used in that spot just at the top of its back, makes it look like another symbiotic creature is aiding the Neurotyrant Arskull 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
