Duncan, I was huge into 40k from about 1999 through 2009, when I gave it up to focus on college and since I no longer had friends to play with and my local stores had closed. Long story short, I moved a while ago, made new friends, a couple of them are nerds of the highest order and when 10th edition 40k started making news we decided to get back into it, and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the hobby. Back then, I never really tried to paint "correctly" or followed guides, I didn't develop the patience for it. My armies were relatively clean but very lumpy and unfinished looking. This time though I am deliberately looking up how to paint, and your channel has been absolutely amazing. Even with my "first" real tries at painting minis it's miles ahead of where I left off 14 years ago despite not having touched paints since then. Thank you for such great production and sharing your experience.

@saltedllama2759

Xenomorphs don't translate well to paint schemes on miniatures, however. As they are mostly dark, with only hints of reflective, glossy color, and as the Tyranids have structurally become very different from xenomorphs, it just ends up looking like they were primed black with a gloss coat.

I love how the colours stand out so boldly. I like how the bugs have different colours for different subspecies. It'd be awesome to see you do that for the tyranids.

*** DESIRE TO KNOW MORE INTENSIFIES *** That pattern is great, very organic! The technique would work great for dinosaur models too!

I am loving these movie reference paint schemes and videos. I wonder which one is next in the pipeline (can’t wait!)

That's so freaking cool man. Lifelong Tyranid player so seeing us in the limelight for a bit is so nice.

Always wanted to try this colour scheme out on a Tyranid model. Great tutorial!

That intro though! Duncan killed it!

Honestly, this is amazing. As a big starship troopers fan this made my day. The possibilities for kitbash/customisations. I can already see a space marine hand with a knife though it stapled to a base! Thanks for such a great video.

Awesome color scheme. Looks cool on the tyranids. I loved the movie when I was Young and I still do today haha. C´mon you apes, do you wanna live forever?!

I literally had given a large amount of time and consideration to doing an army with the theme you have made here all the way back in 2017. Sadly I was a complete novice as far as painting was concerned so I changed course and went with a Raven Guard army to get my feet wet. For years I have always returned to the concept of the Klendathu army and made zero progress. Thank you for making this, because I always got bogged down with how to make it translate when the bugs are so vastly different in appearance to the Tyranids. You rock!!!

These themed schemes and the humor is why this is the best painting channel. To throw out a recommendation how about: Seraphon Jurassic Park scheme!
