I’ve already posted about painting Tyranids, so I’m posting this mainly to have a clear record for myself of the method and paints used. If it’s useful to Someone else, that’s an added bonus.
Step1: undercoat/basecoat of Khemri Dust from a can.
Step 2: wash with GW Reikland Flesh Shade.
Step 3: drybrush with Vallejo Iraqi Sand
Step 4 & 5: apply contrast paint. Blood Angels Red for exposed muscle, joints and ‘tubes’; Black Templar for the carapace and talons/hooves.
Step 6 & 7: two layers of GW Athonian Camoshade on the Fleshborer. Finally teeth pick out in off white/ivory, and yellow for the eyes. I also added a little Carroburg Crimson shade around the jaw where the softer tissue would be.
The usual basing technique (but using ‘winter’ static grass, to suggest the Tyranid presence is corrupting the biosphere), and he’s ready to terrorise the enemy with his pals.
I also did a few Genestealers (from 2nd edition Space Hulk). Same technique, except the heads and hands had a liberal wash of Carroburg Crimson shade to get that classic pinky purple look.
