Thank you. I probably won't paint everything from the box, I'm picking things that will let me show you every you need though. My next nid tutorial is going to be the Psychophage, if I ever get round to painting a screamer killer, it will most likely be using short form tutorials. Glad your enjoying the content :D

@TableTopReadyKZread totally understandable. These are excellent guides and the techniques you've demonstrated should be more than sufficient for the rest of the box, especially the black/purple carapace of the larger nids. If your doing shorts for the screamer killer though, could I recommend the transition from the scything claws to the skin, and also the dome of the skull (its a great looking effect and I'm not sure how GW achieved it)

Great tutorial as always. I've got TWO 3rd edition Hive Tyrants - the old metal ones - that I've been meaning to paint for years, and I think basically all of these techniques could apply to that project. I might pick up a Tyranid Prime just to practice on. Thank you!

This made a lot of sense, and I like how you're explaining things. I'm doing my Hivefleet in a main colour of Sotek Green skin with Tyran Blue highlights, and Nurgling Green carapace. What I wasn't sure how I'd do was the highlights on the carapace. I think I'll do a wash of Krieg Khaki further toward the summit of the carapace, with the final highlights and scratches being Trollslayer Orange. The Hivemind thanks you!

LOVE this Tyranid design/would make a great addition to any Hive. The Prime Tyrant looks very fun to paint and your execution/process really streamlined the task and make it look enjoyable rather than a daunting project. I actually might buy one of these to paint. I Want to go all out on the Leviathan Tyranids as i want the build an army so starting with this and a broodlord would be mad. If they're good I'll have to get multiple but god it's expensive 🫰🏾. Salamanders will have to wait. I NOM with my Tyranid forces.

Its tough. because I explain and say everything that needs explaining already. The best thing to do is just get painting and have a go yourself. thats how your going to learn better. watching me do what I do but for longer doesn't really ad anything. get praticing and how thats better than watching someone else do it :) I believe

Looking great! Inspiring me to not rush my nids. Glazing is my namesake ❤ have you considered using a glaze medium? Daler Rowney matte glaze medium is a god send and really helps with the technique.
@TableTopReadyYoutube

Nids are very different to painting anything else and once you've got a couple under your belt, they become pretty straight forward to paint, even to a higher standard. This has been one of my most favorite and frustrating projects so far. I have thought about using a medium for glazing but everytime I watch Darren Glaze, he only uses water and so that means I have to as well. Its also easier to teach someone to use just water as I don't want them to have to worry about getting another product when water is fine.

I’m going to be working on the psycophage pretty soon which has a darker carapace. Maybe that will help 👌🏻
I'm a little confused about when to use glazes vs washes vs contrast paints. Specifically, does it matter if you use Lahmian medium vs contrast medium to thin the contrast paints down? I mean the contrast medium should make the paint run into the recesses more than the Lahmian, but isn't that what you want? I mean you're coming back with the wraithbone to brighten up the highpoints. Thanks for all your hard work. Keep em coming!

so a glaze, wash and contrast paints are used for different reasons. contrasts paints are more like inks and do the job on a layer paint and wash. a wash is applied all over to create definition and a Glaze is basically like painting with very thin paints almost like water colours. a glaze is used for changing hues very suttely. lahmian and contrast medium are pretty much the same thing, the only difference is that contrast medium dries a lot quicker. to really figure out what to use them for is to actualy use them and see what you can do with em
