#Tyranid

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Quick test on a printed model to see if I can have magma Tyranids and a play with object source lighting.

The answer is yes, yes I can.

On the larger ones I'd even try to use texture paint with the yellow/red undercoat to show cracked magma like skin.

This is really fast to pain too.

Chaos black primer
Russ Grey for the edge highlights
Flash gitz for glow bits
Generously layer/drybrush wild rider red on and around the glow parts

The girls finally won a game after being tabled 3 times in 2-3 rounds by eldar before. Goes to show how much distance there is between the top tier armies and the bottom ones (56% win rate Vs 45%)

It was a close game though against the Tau, using one of the weakest Tyranids detachments (crusher stampede), so at least I know it's not entirely on me.

Close games are the best ones anyways.
