Painting Miniatures like it's 2001…



Check out the “Miniature Painting Made Easy” books: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/colorfulkrakenstudio/miniature-painting-made-easy-hardcover-books?ref=5g25v4

This Artwork by @adriansmithartist has inspired me to paint Tyranids since 20 years – but I never dared to directly copy it and paint them like 3rd Edition Tyranids. Today though…is the day!

  1. Hey trovarion, thank you for the awesome tutorial on that scheme, that's the colour-scheme that made me, twenty years ago, collect & paint 'nids, all sold now – lol. My apporach was way more simpler. Maybe I should get me a handful new 'nids for painting fun.

    As for other Codex-Cover-Schemes suggestions, I always liked the 7th Ed DeathGuard Codex Cover with that pale aquamarine Plaguemarine, with the bright pinkish fleshy parts. I know it's not something recently released and may not feed the algorithm xD

  2. I remember that book art well, it's when I first started playing Warhammer in general. Funny thing is, I always thought that it would have made a bad color scheme compared to the actual paint examples they had in the book. Now I see all it takes is good color understanding and imagination. Nice work!

  3. I would prefer a straight line over the eyes instead of the uneven one, because it adds to the horror effect in being kind of unexpected on such an organic subject as a Tyranid. Wonderful video all in all!

  4. Best Nids I've seen, and basically everyone has made his one version after Leviathan…

    What I'd really like to know or better, what I'd like to watch: A video with a talk about time. How long did those two models take you each, how has the increasing experience in the grimdark-videos on space marines changed your time needed, something like this. Would be real interesting to know!

  5. Sooo cool and sooo many memories of 3rd edition my first edition and I’ve only recently come back in end of 9th and 10th that scheme is incredible I wish I had the patience to do my splinter fleet this scheme god if we only had a pause button

  6. I wanted to make some edgy joke about how it looks alright for someone who is published in a book, but dayum Trov. You described my childhood feeling about this exact artwork and nailed the paintjob… Next time you invade my head and thoughts, at least buy me a drink first 😅

  7. Nothing livens up deep blue/black armor like a gentle glaze of a bright red in the recesses. Absolutely fantastic take on this scheme – and by sacrificing just a little bit of detail, it can be done very swiftly with contrasts, too!

  8. i just started painting the leviathan box nids in this scheme although mine is blacker rather than blueish, orange claws and of course not as good lol. but im enjoying it and excited to see my army in this scheme. one thing though unsure what kind of base to use have them on
