I have a bunch old 2004ish tyranids I’m stripping right now. So excited to test out colors

Just started my Hive Fleet but love the look of the brushes what sizes do you use?

[KixV]

Thank you for the great Tutorial😊
Btw what size airbrush nozzle did you use for this?

[skynetpuma]

Nice video! Your custom tyranids looks a lot like the Tiamet Hive Fleet

[johnathenvandenbroeke]

It was very interesting to see some of the other tyranid paint schemes as all of my models are done in Kronos, as they are my favorite Hive Fleet, because of their lore, and I did my whole Army in their scheme as a result.

By the way, very well crafted and entertaining video shocked it doesn't have more views and engagement. Please keep up the good work.

Love this video. What off white color would you suggest?

[galan]

Thank you for such an interesting video :D.

[samkent]

For the hive fleet leviathan scheme did you use 1:1:1 ratio for volupous pink, apothecary white and lahmiam medium? or did you add extra lahmiam medium?

[chrisjulien]

Christ bless you, thank you for this I'm starting a Tyranid kill team and was choosing what I wanted to paint it

[Nirvana]

TY for this tutorial. I will do the same. I read answer but is it off white 70.820 ? or 72.101 ?

(i am french, sorry for my english ...)

Ugh, having trouble recreating your custom fleets ice blue wash with the vallejo xpress colors, might have to go down and shop those contrasts

First, awesome video, totally subbing! Second, would you consider doing a part 2? I'd love a tutorial for Ouroboris in particular.

How do you get that clear saliva/resin look in your Tyranids?
Loving all your content so far!

[cassidylafreniere]

Do you have any links to airbrushes you recommend? Also, what is the blue clay stuff you are using?

[SpineyB]

Do you mask off every termagaunt? Or just the bigger nids?
