Lots of great stuff. Cap's shield is really shiny, well executed.
And dead things with drums!

Some time off with a 106km with 4.7km of elevation ultramarathon race last weekend and recovery.

Back to the models.

Started on the models from the Leviathan box set and have 3 sets of the tyranids.

First unit is neurogaunts.
I have decided that the way to differentiate the units will be with the spot colour (evil sunz scarlet here) with the others being fiery orange and screamer pink.

6 minutes each for painting after basecoat dried using a step wise production line method.
And half of that was for the base of each model.

A great start Waaagh_Gonads.

First 2 ripper swarm bases.

First half of my first termagant unit.

Second half of the first termagant unit.

Loads of progress Waaagh_Gonads.

First unit of Von Ryan's Leapers. Since the pic was taken I added some more bright red at the ankles around the sides and back to match other models in the army.

First Neurotyrant and Neuroloids.

Second unit Neurogaunts. Orange as spot colour to differentiate from the first unit.

I really like the palette you have used. Organic and sinister.

Second Neurotyrant and Neuroloids.

Nuerotyrant and Neuroloids 3.

Preeety bugs, good job on the bases too!

First Barbgaunt unit:




I think I went a little heavy on the lighter drybrush levels and will be cutting back on my other units.

First Screamer Killer. Removed the rubble under its right foot and tipped him over. Could have done cuts and green-stuff to tuck the arms under, but just did some repositioning instead.

Cannot get enough of your colour scheme. So good.

2nd unit death leapers.

3rd and final unit of Von Ryan's Leapers.

Second ripper swarm unit.

First Tyranid Prime.

I am not happy with the skin on the wings and will be redoing it at a later point. Needs a red wash like the rest of the non-chitin on the model.

2nd Screamer Killer.


Done as per instructions in the manual.

That's a damned scary screamer.

I do love your colours. It reminds me of those angry volcanic metal snails.

The above screamer killer was 45 minutes of painting, 25 of which was the base (the metallics take ages to dry).

The tyranid prime took longer thanks to trying to get into all the wings bits.

The first one was close to an hour.

The next one (already done) took 40 minutes.

Just getting quicker and quicker with this scheme.

Bit of travelling and training for an upcoming ultramarathon so the assembly of models had ground to a halt, so have been working on some models I had started anywhere from 3 months to 2 years ago to finish them off.

Heimdall from MCP. Went with the MCU Idris Elba character version:

Lovely, I did something similar but yours is super vibrant!

Another 20 termagants.

Last Screamer Killer.

Tyranid Prime the second.

This one I just did cadian fleshtone on the wings and then threw the usual red wash like for the rest of the model. Much happier with the result compared to the earlier Tyranid Prime.
