Don’t know if you’ll see this but please please please do a paint off with anouther youtuber. Or even just a friend. Like a paint an army in 24 hour kinda challenge. Your channel is awesome so doing a challenge with other painters will def help your channel blow up which it very much deserves 👍. Keep posting my guy
I’ve just bought about 1500 points of Nids including a Dimacheron and a Scythed Heirodule and I’ve been trying to decide on a paint scheme for a while. I absolutely LOVE what you have done with these and will definitely be adapting the techniques you have used here to create my own Hive Fleet. Amazing work and thank you VERY much for the inspiration!
Glad it inspired you :) As for no airbrush....the black and flesh base ...spray cans. The white highlights could easily be done with a spray can or dry brushing. And the contrast and washes can be done by hand. If you are going to dry brush I'd advise varnish as it really toughens up the crackle paint.
For everyone like me who wants a list of the paint supplies used: - The Army Painter "Anti-Shine" Varnish Primer (1st base) - Citadel Paints "Martian Ironearth" Technical Paint (cracks for carapace) - Matte Black Primer (2nd base) - Citadel Paints "Kislev Flesh" Layer Paint (zenithal highlights) - Citadel Paints "Carroburgh Crimson" Shade Paint (edge highlights) - Citadel Paints "Stormhost Silver" Layer Paint (teeth) - Molotow ONE4ALL "Signal White" Acrylic Paint (white highlights on vents/claws) - Citadel Paints "Aethermatic Blue" Contrast Paint (layer over white) - Winsor & Newton "Manganese Blue" 37ml Oil Paint + White Spirit (oil wash for cracks and crevasse) - White Spirit (remove oil reside or build ups) I found almost all of these on amazon for pretty cheap. All and all looking at about £20 for primers, £25 for paints inc oil and like £5 for the acrylic paint bottle (30ml, not the 180ml one shown). £50 to paint that many models seems pretty good? [edit] The only thing I'd maybe do differently is paint the claws, hooves and weapon parts in general separately. The look a little flat in the final product but still amazing. Def going to give it a go once my supplies arrive.
The list of items is also in description. But thanks for a concise list :) Also these bottles of primer were around £12 and have lasted me over a year.
@@SlayerMiniatures I didn't realise they were! I must have missed it, could only see the oil paint. Honestly man I'm actually buzzing to try it all out. Convinced me to get an airbrush (starting with a portable one first) because I liked the shading work you did so much 😊
@@SlayerMiniatures I've a question about the painiting; just got a handheld airbrush to try out and I've been struggling a bit with my practice gaunts. Couldn't get the aetheric blue to come out like your own, it was dead watery. Do you use a medium or is it just a matter of a fixed compressor giving a better flow and coverage that makes it not run like water?
I'm having trouble shoving the shade through the airbrush. It's absolute misery. Does it have to be shade? I was thinking of trying my luck with an ordinary bordeaux / wine read acryllic and airbrush it carefully. The shade is either splattering all over the place or drying on the tip. No in-between.
This is great! I have the 'nid half of Leviathan on its way to me. I plan to do this technique, but substituting the colors to represent Unit 1 from Evangelion. So Purple over black, with fluro green for the glow, and orange highlights. Thanks for the inspiration!
Did you use any airbrush thinner for the paints? specifically the kislevb flesh? I have tried this scheme out i just had a watery paint and couldnt get my airbrush to feed properly. weird mix of problems. thanks
Hi Simon, yes I thinned the Kislev. I didnt thin the contrast or wash. Try mixing your paint in a little pot before adding to your airbrush. If you mix in the pot it sometimes gets clogged...especially if put the paint in first and then thinner. Hope that helps
@@SlayerMiniatures yeah man mine clogged mega time. bought the kislev air instead. looking to copy this with a twist... if it works out i will send you a photo haha. great scheme though.
@@simoncross40K oh know! It's a pain when they clog. I go for the consistency of whole milk when mixing mine. You don't need to use thinner either, can just use water
I’m gonna start a new tyranid army with the release of 10th edition and your work is really inspiring…i will copy you for sure, but i want a little more contrast between carapace and flesh…can you suggest another colour that can match this scheme? Maybe a black carapace? Or maybe more purple on the flesh and less on the carapace? 🤔
glad i inspired you :D thats exactly why i make videos! you could do more of the purple on the carapace to make it darker, like its hardened into plates? that might be cool. maybe you could try a test model?
Yup! If you put crackle paint on bare plastic it will just peel and flake off, even after it's primed. The just varnish gives a rougher surface and let's the crackle paint adhere to it. You don't need to use varnish - you could spray it with primer of any colour too.
@Slayer Miniatures Awesome! I plan on doing something similar with my tyranid army but I am going for a radioactive green or maybe red on black colors.
@@GGTPK oh nice! That would look awesome! You could use the same steps as me and easily just switch in different colours :) green would look super cool!
Hey have to add another comment, hope that is fine ! First of all - Tried that tutorial, 36 termagants finished and they look really good, tutorial is perfect for a beginner with the airbrush ! Have just a question for the color selection of the contrast paint - Is there a reason for aethermatic blue that has a turquoise touch, and hence not fully going with the manganese blue oil wash ?
Yeah I used Aethermatic Blue as its a good mid colour between the oil and white. It adds to the glow effects to use two blues. Just using the Blue oil wasn't enough. Glad you liked the guide :) how did you adapt the guide to termagants?
i would love to do something like this however i dont have an airbrush and wont be able to get one for a bit, can you show how one might go about doing something like this without an airbrush?
Hi there winged munchies. Without and airbrush the white highlights could easily be done with a white spray can on the larger bugs. On small ones you may struggle with a spray can. I would say the easiest and less risky method would be to do dry bushing. I cannot do a completely seperate guide for these using normal brushes at the minute, but i will bare it in mind for a future video. I also may include non airbrush options in all my videos going forwards as i am mindful that not all people have them. Check out the Artus Opus youtube channel, byron does some amazing things with just dry brushing and some of the techniques may inspire you to adapt to this video?
Did you add a varnish to this scheme at the end and if so what kind? I’ve been trying to come up with a scheme for my Tyranids for over a year now and I after seeing this I fell in love.
Hi James! No I didn't varnish at the end, you could do though. It wouldn't affect the colours much. I won't lie, this is one of the easiest and most fun schemes I've done. The crackle effect combo'd with the blue oil just worked so well! I should have kept the army instead of selling!
Within the next week I am getting some Chaos models to paint up some Word Bearers. Your videos were inspiration for me to paint my jungle Necrons. I found out I just get models and paint them because they look cool. I still haven't played a game of 40k after 7 or so years
Hi Craig, just double check...there are two. One is Martian Ironearth which is a crackle paint. And Martian Ironcrust which is like you are describing, a grit dirt look. You might have the wrong one?
The mushrooms were supposed to tie in more with the Protomolecule spore. And with the yellow pink glow with blue ground...there would have been too much blue on the models. Red Contrasts well with the blue flesh glow
Looking great and really like the airbrush control. What size needle and psi are you using especially with the wash. I find I have quite a battle getting the control right with different pressures etc
Its an Iwata Eclipse, needle size is 0.35? It's was around 35psi. You basically release some wash/contrast then just air. Then use the air to dry it. And blast again :)
I had the same with getting pressures right. To be honest it's trial and error. Do a test on a piece of paper or your hand..if it 'spider webs' it's too high. I spray between 20-35psi most of the time but will lower it if its not playing nice ha. Hope that helps you out
Just had to rewatch it to check ha! So I used the same blue for all over the base...Aethermatic Blue. Then painted the mushrooms Volupus Pink. Then did white highlights under the mushrooms on the floor and on the top of them. Them a yellow ink! Hope that helps 🙂
Brilliant! They look amazingly space buggy. I wanted to ask if you could maybe do a little bit of an airbrush tutorial, I recently got mine and I don't know were to properly start
very cool job man! love the gamers grass i bought the exact same pink ones twice now and lost them both times gonna go buy them again soon hopefully this time i can keep an eye on em eh?
Hey I know im late here, just found your channel in time before I start my own army! Love this design with the glow and alien feeling…. Any suggestions on other colors that could use this? Very new to hobby and was wondering if you thought any other colors might look good (even the skin tone changing)
Especially with a darker skin cuz my immediate thought was to do a bright green glow on a dark black skin, but then what to do for that zenithal highlight and also what shade woulf work well, any advice would be amazing ♥️
Hi Jacob, glad you liked the army. I themed these off a TV show, but if you like greens you could look for inspiration from nature for tyranids or look at other schemes for inspiration. If you are new to the hobby and picking schemes I'd advise taking a look at videos on the 'colour wheel' it will help you alot! Green works well with orange, red,yellow and also purple,pink. You could easily use my video as a guide and switch in some different colours once you know what you like. I'd also advise doing a test model until you have the scheme down too. Hope that helps
Would love to use this as inspiration to paint a GSC army like this, but i dont think i could pull it off sadly. Would be amazing tho! Also i must say these models look absolutely stunning
Oh you 100% could. It was easy! It would work well with Genestealer Cult, same process for the glow effects (with an airbrush or without an airbrush) then paint the armour and overalls after
@@SlayerMiniatures You know, i have tried it once. Didn´r really got into it. But maybe seem to like it, even scientist. So i might wanna retry.^^ Btw the technique on how you painted those looked super lose and relaxing. Pretty good result.
Awesome work, after watching it, and watching it again, ended up ordering an airbrush and some tyranids :) Always wanted to play a painted swarm army with huge number, and now it seems realistic to paint it while still looking awesome ! Also have a question - Tried some small models too ? Wonder how to translate it to gaunts to still look so good on such a small model...
Awesome! Thanks Maximilian 😊 glad I inspired you. For gaunts i would ensure the crackle is sporadic on the models. So maybe add it to the carapace on every 5 or so models. It won't stick out then. I think it would translate well to gaunts.
Request - will you include human skin tones in an upcoming video, I am struggling to balance the oil wash / enamel wash style of Grim Dark painting with still delivering a good skin tone on the fleshy bits?
I mean you did put paint on a whole army, in a technical sense. It looks godawful though. I have only looked at the finished product but im gonna guess that you undercoated then pissed about with an airbrush for an hour then went in and did some touching up after lets see if im right. (After watching) Seems i was spot on
totally stealing the crackle idea for my Big Bugs. thanks!
It really adds to them!
Love the color with out the blue, but still awsome paint job.
Pre blue looked great! But I think they look amazing with blue too!
I love the expanse it is my favourite show and you are the only person I have seen integrate protomolecule into warhammer
It's such a good TV show! Shame it didn't continue! These nids came out amazing
This is possibly one of the most creative and simple tyranid colour schemes I've ever seen. Thats a like and a subscribe from me...
Thanks Jacob 😊 I really enjoyed this army!
Slick look!
Thanks 😊
You can’t stop the work!
Incredible colour scheme and great to see a nod to the best science fiction show on television
Ha thanks! The Expanse is amazing!

Cannot wait to try this on the Screamer Killer
I think the new tyrankds would look amazing with my Protomolecule scheme! Share pics with me on Instagram if you do it

Amazing work and thank you VERY much for the inspiration!
Thanks so much :) this is exactly why I make videos! Glad I inspired you 😀
Looks brilliant. More people need to watch the expanse
The Expanse was amazing! Rushed the ending though :(
Very eery and alien, exactly what you want to see when it comes to Tyranids! Awesome stuff.
Thanks Mr Barker. Kobukimofo
Flipping amazing color scheme! This is so inspiring! I'm finally going to try my airbrush out.
Not going to lie...one of the coolest armies I've ever painted! And so easy! Have fun :)
Wow. Just... amazing. Also the choice of background music for the video really adds up to the weird sci-fi vibe.
Thanks for that! 😀
Looks like a Tyranid fleet specialized for aquatic or water heavy planets.
I like it. It noms.
Oh that's a good idea! Nom nom nom
using texture paint on the models themselves is truly distinct
It turned out quite well!
Great work Tom
Thanks Roger! 😊
Really cool idea using the crackling past on them.
Thanks James 😊 crackle paint is awesome. Really adds another level of texture to models.
This has inspired me to start adding ironearth to my new Tyranid army - now to try and recreate this type of look without an airbrush
Glad it inspired you :) As for no airbrush....the black and flesh base ...spray cans. The white highlights could easily be done with a spray can or dry brushing. And the contrast and washes can be done by hand. If you are going to dry brush I'd advise varnish as it really toughens up the crackle paint.
@@SlayerMiniatures Awesome - Thank you for the tips!
I think I'll adapt this for a protomolocule infected nurgle army. Your nids look great!
Thats such a cool idea! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I just started Nids last year and now I am biting myself… should have waited a year to do it with this paint scheme ;) looks absolutely amazing!!
Thanks 😊 glad you liked it. You could always use it for a different army or start a new Hive fleet :) ha
I have just started into this hobby and it’s crazy what people do awesome job
Thanks and welcome! What have you started on?
Started on some tau orks and space wolves for kill teams to start small and see what I like
Very different to your usual style but equally as interesting. Love the tiny mushrooms too 🍄
Thanks Sarah 😊
this is absolutely AWESOME!!!
Thank you 😊
I watched the expanse and you've made the army look amazing like the creature from the series! Very nice work as usual :) 👍
Thanks Aaron 😊
amazing looking army i love seeing your stuff its great inspiration for my works
Thank you 😊 I like to do different and unusual or brand new styles/schemes. It's fun to experiment!

Do it! I only got back into it a few years ago for painting. It's so fun and accessible with all the guides and product reviews now!
this color schemes reminds me of the kaiju from pacific rim! it looks really good!

Yeah sorry! It's been a while, I had alot going on with my full time job ha
unfortunately they have changed the Martian iron crust formula and it looks nothing like this now. just looks like it has grit in it..
Hi Craig, just double check...there are two. One is Martian Ironearth which is a crackle paint. And Martian Ironcrust which is like you are describing, a grit dirt look. You might have the wrong one?
Looking fantastic! I'm not sure why I haven't come across your channel before but the number if subs you have is criminal. This is a great video
Thanks Aaron 😊 I've only been doing it for a year
hey im going to paint a genestealer cult army any ideas
Yeah use this scheme! For the flesh. And jokaero orange for the overalls, it will look great!
I liked the test base with orange mushrooms. What made you decide to change it for the guide and army?
The mushrooms were supposed to tie in more with the Protomolecule spore. And with the yellow pink glow with blue ground...there would have been too much blue on the models. Red Contrasts well with the blue flesh glow

Not yet, that was just a test base. I then decided to stick with the same blue. It does look cool, so I may use it on future basing.
excellent work!!
Thanks Naz!
That is a great look you have created there. Quick question if I may, did you thin the contrast paints to go through the airbrush at all?
Nope not at all! Just straight into the brush :)
@@SlayerMiniatures Will have to play around with that approach. Thanks.
