Pearson73 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Really like how you're doing the highlights on the chitin. The colour scheme matches the swamp setting well too.

The Pounder Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Thanks @Pearson73! I was worried that the bases were too dark so I’m glad you think they suit.

MithrilForge Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Awesome work here , agreed the Nids on swampy bases blend well (in a good way) I always thought/had the idea That Nids would be a little reactive/adaptable to their present environment as a Survival mechanism, especially when they're spawning on a New planet I feel the hive mind would programme some parameters in to help with camouflage etc.. Love the green and love the Psychophage (sp?) hey are you going to use this base scheme on your T'AU too Cheers, M Edited March 20 by MithrilForge The Pounder and Pearson73 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379463-hive-fleet-ariagnee/page/2/#findComment-6029360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Thanks @MithrilForge! I’m going to mix it up a bit with the basing for my T’au. So the basing will be different, I want to use snow this time!

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Wow these look great. I love the colour scheme. It looks muted but not in a way that makes it bland or lazy. It's a good muted. Very effective too I think. Is it done using GW paints?

The Pounder Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Thanks @The Praetorian of Inwit! I always tend to use a muted and limited palette on all my projects. It’s just the way I like it! I use a mix of GW and Vallejo paints, the main colour is “WW2 German Field Grey” I use it somewhere on every force I build! Thanks for the interest!

The Pounder Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Thought I’d share some pics of my latest Nid progress. I absolutely love these sculpts, they just ooze alien menace! My Neurotyrant will be leading this Brood (so cool they can do that!) Tyranid Zoanthropes Tyranid Zoanthropes Tyranid Zoanthropes Next up for my Tyranids I will be keeping with the brain bug theme and it’ll be a Norn Emissary! Until then, thank you for looking!

MithrilForge Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 @The Pounder- as stated elsewhere, great work and great colour choices, they work well all together , I think 2/3 of the battle to paint our models is settling on a good scheme that we like and looks good you’ve certainly done it here!. cheers, Mithril The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379463-hive-fleet-ariagnee/page/2/#findComment-6049536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Thanks @MithrilForge! You’re completely right, finding a scheme you’re happy with and can replicate throughout the horde really helps! I’m really excited to work on the Norn Emissary but have to complete my Call to Arms vows first. Thanks for the interest and likes gents, much appreciated.

Pearson73 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 They look really good! And I totally agree that these, along with the carpet swarms of 'gaunts, are really the epitome of the Tyranid horror.

INKS Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'll be honest, at first I didn't think I would like the black or the dark colors. (I am a bright colored type of person) but the dark colors really let every other color on the model pop and that really works out well. they all look awesome. really well done, I bet as a complete force they look awesome on the table The Pounder and MithrilForge 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379463-hive-fleet-ariagnee/page/2/#findComment-6050405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Thanks @Pearson73! I really need to get s’more Gaunts! @INKS thanks for your honest critique! I always tend to use a muted palette, I was trying to make them look “natural” Glad you liked the scheme! I’m nearly there with my 1250pts list (just need the Norn Emissary) then I’ll post a pic of the Swarm once it’s all painted.

The Pounder Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Well, it’s been ages since I had an update for my Nids. Time to put that right! I’ve finished my Norn Emissary. I was at first a little disappointed with the size at first but once it was done and mounted on the base I thought it was a little more imposing. The kit was a joy to build and paint and I’m very happy with the results. Here’s the pics: Tyranids Norn Emissary Tyranids Norn Emissary Tyranids Norn Emissary Tyranids Norn Emissary Tyranids Norn Emissary Thanks for looking!

MithrilForge Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 @The Pounder - Like wowzers ,I can only give it one emoji reaction instead of many, this is great, I don't know why but I'm getting really "Old Skool Cool" vibes from this beastie and I love it !! You did great ,Kudo's on the Colour choice and arrangement. It's perfect (My only thought is and it's not a critique but an actual thought bubble of "I wonder what she'd look like with shiny black skin" ) Anyways, Great work bud.

The Pounder Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Cheers! She was such a fun model to work on. I think shiny black skin would’ve been epic! Wish I’d thought of that! I wanted a more natural aesthetic rather than vibrant, so I went with insect type colours. Thanks again for the interest.

Pearson73 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Brilliant work, the painting across the whole piece looks really consistent, which I always feel must be a challenge on so big a model? I've said it before, but I do really dig the stripey highlights, they look so striking!
