literally watched this video around around 20 times over the past two days finally painting my hive tyrant wings which up until this video have terrified me. they went perfectly. Thanks for the tutorial!
@@TesseractMinis If i'm painting a deathleapers "cloak" using this method, should I still go side to side or upwards and downwards? Sorry if this is a dumb question...
I used this method on my hive tyrants wings but did a lighter fleshy colouration. My mate was convinced that someone else had painted it for me. I was really happy with the outcome, thanks so much for this!
This video has repeatedly popped up in my recs fir thebpast 2 years and for some reason i never watched (i really have no clue why) but boy im glad i finally did. Game changer.
I didn't realize those were veins until watching the video. With the turquoise glaze, I was thinking of lightning bolts. I thought it was showing some type of magic or a dragon that uses lightning. In any case, great looking wing.
awesome video! thanks... just one thing im not really clear about. how would the other side look? the inside of the wing i mean... would the lightest part still be in the center?
Thanks for this mate. Been holding off painting the wings on a model I had custom made for fear of making an arse of it. This helped loads and really happy with the results. Top man.
You did an awesome job on that wing and this tutorial, I guess I was part of the explosion as led me to here etc :) Thanks for taking the time to share, painters like you are what makes the community so great with these inspiring pieces and even help long tooth’s like me to learn new things.
Thank you so much Andrew, that really is one of the kindest comments I've ever had! And don't worry, I'm pretty long in the tooth, too! I've been involved since 1991!
Nice tutorial!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Friend what about the underside of the wing? Im planning doing this but dont know uf going both sides or just the upper one :)))) thnksssss
The brighter veins simulate that they are raised surfaces and are less transparent, instead a more solid colour that catches the light. It's an effect which mimics the vascularity of bodybuilders and very muscular animals, which have larger, wider, less transparent veins which are covered by thick skin. As opposed to the veins of less muscular, transparent skinned animals that have visible blood flow and therefore have darker red or blue veins.
This is amazing . Im looking into getting into AoS due to the new soulblight gravelords codex coming out , i amd deffo unsing this for the wings in that army.
@@TesseractMinis sounds reasonable. Think I'll give it a try then. If you want to see how my attempt went, i just gave you a follow on Insta and postet mine :-) It really helped as i first really didn't know how i want to do it and had like 3 attempts which i all painted over again until i found your video :-D
Yeah that's about the extent of it. I didn't actually paint the other side - because it was done purely for this tutorial, but if I had, I'd have pretty much done the same thing.
Absolutely fantastic video and an amazing result! Also, really great timing; I got my girlfriend the Reaper Bones Jabberwock mini for Valentine's and she wasn't sure how to do the wings. But now she knows lol
I love this. My question is how you go about painting the skin and bones inbetween the wings without destroying the hard work you've done. I'm a sucker for drybrushing but not sure you could do that here?
I'd probably just build it up with careful brush strokes. It would be slow going, but with centrepiece models I think it pays to take your time where possible.
@@TesseractMinis Thanks for the reply. I'd really really appreciate your professional advice on what colours to replicate this process with where the scheme is a light grey body with airbrushed red accents on the arm joints and front of heads (you may have seen something similar online). The carapace is incubi darkness and pink horror in the vents. I love the burgundy you used and went and got some but I don't think it goes so really would love any advice or suggestions you have. Appreciate your time 😊
So awesome! I have seen many tutorials and this is the One, the one to bind them all....Well, its the one that I will be using, thanks again and it is incredible, great job!
Thank you for posting this video, Sir! I'm currently magnetizing a Flying Hive Tyrant and will begin painting soon. I love how "natural" this looks! I've painted lots of winged Tyranids, from the little Gargoyles up to a Harpy. I may have to revisit them now...Cheers!
Hello :) very good tutorial. You think i Can use it on the wings of dorghar ? ( Archaon Drake) I want to do think Like you but with a red tone menbrane. So i use a red tone as base and After use the three skin highlight like you and After red glaze ? what is the color you use for base the wings before the glaze ? .
I think you can use this method, for sure. The starting tone is Barak Nar Burgundy, from Citadel. If you want the top end to read more red, just layer up some brighter reds on those areas.
Looks absolutely fantastic! One day I will be patient enough and take my time to do something like that but right now I need to finish my 2k points quicker. But thanks for showing this method!
That's a home made hobby holder - it's a wooden cotton bobbin with blue tac on top, that I can stick the mini to, to make it easier to grip during painting.
This is a GREAT tutorial tip! Can you please insert into the next videos the name of the colours that you're going to use. I've understood the skin tones, but I didn't get the name of the purple base! Thank you 😅
Hi Giuseppe, thanks for watching! I don't offer colour guides in my videos any more, because I don't really subscribe to the belief that they matter, or help. I prefer to try to encourage people to use their eyes, and make their own colour choices, rather than copy exactly what I'm doing. It's an important skill to have, and I think colour guides often discourage people from trying things unless they have the exact paints shown, which isn't something I want to put over in my content. I'd recommend just using the colours you think are best! Although I believe the deep base tone on the wings is Gal Vorbak Red, from citadel, on this particular piece. Good luck, and have fun!
Here i'm using a Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 3. There should be a link in the description of the video for where to get one. The paint is Vallejo Model Color Emerald.

Exactly 😀👌

Yes i needed this my nids (gargoyels and hive tyrant) have been waiting a long time
Sweet blend like a fall leaf 🍁✌️
About to make my angron look amazing, thank you!!

Oooh! Wonderful! Here’s hoping it translates to a smaller model when I put together my Khinerai!
worth pointing it, those white lines you used for the veins , they would make GREAT stretch marks on bloated parts

This is an insane technique! I'm gonna try this on my Daemon prince!
excellent, this is exactly what I am looking for.
Very nice. I glued my wing on already, probably shouldn't have done that
*looks at the collection of Creature Caster models* I should paint those ... using this as a guide.
I have been watching painting guides for the last two years and NOT one person has done a video for this! Well done!
awesome video! thanks... just one thing im not really clear about. how would the other side look? the inside of the wing i mean... would the lightest part still be in the center?

Very awesome! Would love a paint list included in here though
GW Barak-Nar Burgundy
GW Bugmans Glow

This was the best tutorial I’ve watched, really accessible! thanks
Thank you for the wonderful tip. A new idea is always great for a new enthusiast like me.
just discovered this, definitaly gonna try it out, thank you!
Awesome. Really. I will apply it on Montarion.
Wow. Great job. I recently got into painting miniatures and just did my first dragon. Love the how to. Sub'd and liked.
This is an excellent tutorial! Thanks!

Your very welcome and wearing it well, funny enough I dropped out of the hobby around 91 and only just been getting back in the last couple of years 👍
Oh wow! It's definitely a really good time to be getting back in, huh? I was amazed at how much has changed, but it's definitely in a great place.
I know that this is an older video, but this is a great video for flesh based nids, me personally I use metallic paints for my custom hive fleet
Verry.verry.verry amazing !!❤❤❤ thank you for this wonderful tutorial
Quick and efficient !what can we ask more !
Thanks a lot for your help. Have a good day.
What Brown do you use first? Could use it for a base on flesh
Nice tutorial!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Friend what about the underside of the wing? Im planning doing this but dont know uf going both sides or just the upper one :)))) thnksssss
Great tutorial, gonna try it on the model I'm currently painting!
So cool!
great!
Excellent how to video
How did you create the glaze, what ratio of paint to water/medium/thinner?
Could you use a wash instead of making a glaze?
The brighter veins simulate that they are raised surfaces and are less transparent, instead a more solid colour that catches the light. It's an effect which mimics the vascularity of bodybuilders and very muscular animals, which have larger, wider, less transparent veins which are covered by thick skin. As opposed to the veins of less muscular, transparent skinned animals that have visible blood flow and therefore have darker red or blue veins.
This is awesome! What colour did you use for the base layer?
Great work, easy to follow steps and nicely explained in a few minutes. Thats how Quick tips should work. Thank you so much.
Love this! it looks great and well explained. Thank you.
wow awesome video!! thanks a lot you were spot on what I was looking for!!
Great video
Awesome thanks
about to start painting tyranid gargoyle wings like this. Wish me luck. :)
It's so easy and so cool!
Amazing tutorial tsm
It was very inspiring. Awesome wing membrane painting tutorial.
This is amazing . Im looking into getting into AoS due to the new soulblight gravelords codex coming out , i amd deffo unsing this for the wings in that army.
Awesome tutorial straight to the point 🎉🎉
Do you invert the light/dark parts of the wing for the side thats curved inwards so that its lighter to the edges and darker in the center?
Awesome tutorial!
That's a really cool way to do the wings, looks fantastic.
This is perfect, thank you so much for posting, this looks beautiful!!!!
If i'm painting a deathleapers "cloak" using this method, should I still go side to side or upwards and downwards? Sorry if this is a dumb question...
is there a different way to paint the opposite side of the wings? I'd imagine the angles would be a bit different
I wondered the same
How do I make the "concave" side
Dark toward the centre, light toward the edges.
This tutorial helped me a lot for my first detailed wing membranes. May you have a tip on how to do the inside of it? Just invert the colors?
I'd honestly do the exact same on the inside, personally. Really really glad you got something from this. Thanks for watching!
@@TesseractMinis sounds reasonable. Think I'll give it a try then. If you want to see how my attempt went, i just gave you a follow on Insta and postet mine :-) It really helped as i first really didn't know how i want to do it and had like 3 attempts which i all painted over again until i found your video :-D
Absolutely loved the video! How would you do it on the other side of the wing?
Oh wow great job!!
And about the dilution for the different layers? 1:1, 1:2, 1:3?
Thanks
I don't use dilution ratios, I just test the transparency to see if it's where I want it :)
Can you put a link for the brushes and glaze you use please? This really helped me out thank you for the video.
Love this video! Will have to rewatch a few times and figure out what paints are needed and I subscribed too!
Was meant to ask what did you do to the other side of the wings? Was thinking maybe the same thing but not as bright
Yeah that's about the extent of it. I didn't actually paint the other side - because it was done purely for this tutorial, but if I had, I'd have pretty much done the same thing.
Wich is de base tone that you use for the darkest color? (Before bugmans glow)
I believe it was GWs Gal Vorbak Red
This made me subscribe
that turquois glaze makes it look like its glowing and that fucking RAD
Do you repeat the process on the underside of the wing ?
Definitely going to use this. Subbed keep up the amazing work.
Looks great! What color did you use for the turquoise?
It's Vallejo Model Colour Emerald :) glad you like it.
Absolutely fantastic video and an amazing result! Also, really great timing; I got my girlfriend the Reaper Bones Jabberwock mini for Valentine's and she wasn't sure how to do the wings. But now she knows lol
This is great news! I'm glad you liked it :)
Don't know how to get this to work on the new Tyranid Prime (Leviathan) as his wings are half folded with lots of creases... Would love some tips!!
I'd probably treat it more like painting a cloak (shade the recesses, highlight the raised parts), but use the same colours.
It blew up because it is awesome.
This ^
Very Cool
ooof, how is this not too hot for youtube?

Absolutely love it! Just happened to find the channel and am now subscribed.

Thank you John, I really appreciate that!
How do you make a glaze?
Easy! Just water paint down until it's super transparent. :)
Is this vid. set to not be able to save to a playlist?

The "veins" actually read like cracks, and that makes the membranes feel very thin because they let more light through

What was the base coat color called?
Also whats that wooden thing ypur useing when applying the barrak burgundy is it a spray or something
That's a home made hobby holder - it's a wooden cotton bobbin with blue tac on top, that I can stick the mini to, to make it easier to grip during painting.

what colours have you used?? thks
Love it
Great tutorial, thanks! I will try this on my tyranids, do you have a recommendation what color scheme one could build around this?
I'd probably pair this with some kinda desaturated teal/turquoise for the carapace.
Do you do this to both sides of the wings?
Yes
Does somebody already mentioned you looked like Masterchief in the Halo serie ^^?
Also, thank you for your content^!
Do you have any recommendations for a GW equivalent of sunny skin tone? I don’t have that paint at my local stores :(
Cadian Fleshtone should work.
This is so good! Glad I found this! What turquoise did you use at the end???
Cheers Luke! It's Vallejo Model Color, Emerald.
Thx m8, you help me a lot🤘🏻
I love this! Would the scheme work on white-primed models? Would you change anything to get it to work on white?
It would work fine, yeah. I'd just be careful to make sure you achieve complete coverage over the white.
@@TesseractMinis thank you for replying! I'm marrying it up with the coconut crab scheme so hoping it will be a great pairing 😅
Thx
Thank you for doing it with a brush ;D
Thank you! I t is a shame though I can't save this tutorial.
What colours where used
*sorry if you already said i just woke up wanting to do the wings xD*
The colours are all given during the video.
@@TesseractMinis i just realised im a knob XD thanks ^^
Hive fleet skarok Flyrant scheme meets Otachi
Great technique - I have a demon prince awaiting his wings.
What brushes you using here and what is the turquoise paint at the end called?
Here i'm using a Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 3. There should be a link in the description of the video for where to get one.
The paint is Vallejo Model Color Emerald.
@@TesseractMinis thank you. My own tyrant is red with a black carapace. I assune i just go for a GW red shade?
What does the underside look like
The same :)
Game changer
