BTW doc, how do u colour the boney part of the nids and their talons?

Boney part is

Black then White primer. Gryphonne Sephia Wash and Bleach Bone highlight
Talons is Red Gore, Blood Red and Blazing Orange.

What type of base are you going to give it? Mud? Jungle? Desert?

Most probably ruins. Jungle is too complicated to do and desert feels a bit weird to me. Sometimes less is better. My bases wont be too complicated so the focus is on the nids.

Anyway i didn't realise the Trygon is on a special base so i have to make one to go with the rest. I ordered close to 100+ resin bases for all my nids heehee


I have another Trygon/Mawloc kit to do ...most probably going for a Trygon Prime although for gaming purposes 2 x Mawlocs sounds good.

More to come...i repainted my Genestealers and 15 of my Termagants...also added new Devourer gaunts...but ran out of white spray..

they look nice.. but... abit dark imo.. maybe abit more highlight.. to bring out the figures.. not sure whether it helps though

Those are some nice minis! How the hell u highlighted the back part of the palm(last pic)!! Where did u get your brushes one? all my brushes now are spoilt leh, cant continue painting my Nids.

continue the great work guys!

 

[xinng7]

I agree the lack of highlighting makes the minis dark and dull...

For the leather gloves, i apply GW Scorched Brown as base coat, highlight with GW Bestial Brown and a final highlight with GW Bubonic Brown.

I get my brushes from Art Friend. Usually Ashley, size 000 to 1.

My idea was to have a trench specailists Infantry Regiment with gas masks and close combat weapons like Flamers, chainswords, grenades, etc.

Basically a cheap version of DKOK.

[lapislazuli]

wow LOL that swarm of 30 gaunts is just freakin AMAZING.

also, mind telling where you get the transparent rods to suspend the zooanthropes? i am thinking of doing something like that for my assault marines.

 

[xinng7]

Hey Lapislazuli,

The rods are GW flying stand bases which comes with some of the flying miniatures. I guess plastic rods will suffice. Actually i prefer not to use rods when i can because they tend to break at the places where they are glued.



Finished a Trygon Prime

My pair of "Snakes"

Also converted a Tervigon.

Posed according to the Codex artwork!

 

[Spindoc]

Tried out the Cosmos/Nebular scheme on my Wave Serpent. Gives the Eldar a "starry" look.

Quite pleased with the effect.

 

[Spindoc]

Re-based all my ELDAR aspect warriors

HOWLING BANSHEES

WARP SPIDERS

DIRE AVENGERS
