Work on my Tyranid Warrior Brood has begun, I have opted for a "shooty" unit and went for 2 Deathspitters and 1 Barbed Strangler as these are all template weapons and should make up for the low BS the warriors have due to rolling scatter dice to hit.
So far I have finished 1 warrior from the brood and I now feel comfortable with the colour scheme. I have a good system in place which should speed up completion time for each brood, I should now be able to get quite a fews models painted up quite quickly whilst maintaining a good tabletop quality appearance.
These are the other two models from the brood. To get to this stage I did the following:
- Undercoat Skull White
- Basecoat Tallarn Flesh
- Drybrush Bleached Bone
- Heavy wash with Ogryn Flesh
Once the wash has completely dried (about 2 hrs):
- Drybrush Bleached Bone
- Drybrush 50:50 Bleached Bone and Skull White
Completed models so far. All completed models recieve a coat or two of games Workshop Purity Seal Satin Varnish to protect them.
Following yesterday's post I have now finished my first Tyranid Warrior Brood. They are nice sized models and I enjoyed painting them far more than the termagants. As there are only 3 models in this brood and they are of more importance I could afford to spent a little more time on these whilst following the same painting system I have in place.
