Love his tyranids army and your take on his scheme. Would love to see how the IG were painted, i always thought they look great !

Absolutely in love with this look. Am considering it for my own force.

Ken's Nid scheme looks amazing! They're a bit more reminiscent of the xenomorph than GW's usual schemes and the small bits of colour make them pop out. Would love to see some more of Ken's schemes. If this is a taste of the cool stuff that comes from his mind then more definitely does not hurt.

Incredible work and love the spectrum of work lately from speed painting to golden demon. Keep it up!

This is absolutely fantastic! I'd love more videos like this! 😁😁 Thank you for sharing this scheme, the tuto, explanations etc... It's amazing!

Ken is brilliant, that 'nid paint job is the only one that makes me actually want to get a few models!

Great video! I really appreciate that you showed the steps of the process on the screamer killer as well.

Lovely stuff! Always good to see different approaches, and see how you can take elements from one and integrate them into your own workflow. The pigment in the chitin is a neat look, I'll have to remember that one!

Love it! such a great scheme and amazing how fast it can churn out an army. Need to see how the Wolves were approached as well

Amazing videos and love the grim dark paint scheme! Definitely going to use this scheme for my new Tyranid army!

Holy smokes! That gives them a real ominous and menacing appearance. Outstanding!

This video was great. A fantastic speed painting tutorial.

This is so similar to the color scheme I did as a child, but just... Elevated. I've been bashing my head against how I was going to paint up my nids for the last week, and I think I'm going to combine my old scheme with this in an homage to my childhood. Thanks for that!

I've been looking for a grimdark Tyranid scheme to get my Leviathan bugs done quickly and hassle-free and this absolutely nails it!

So glad yall did this guide. I saw this scheme on instagram and was dying to see if anyone had a guide for it. Thanks!

Defiently using this! Thank you so much!

New to the hobby and just got an air brush yesterday after watching this video. Excited to give this theme a try today!

This is incredibly cool and motivating!

That's awesome. Honestly for an army paint, I'd probably stop right after matting the pigment, and then just hit the eyes with a green, and skip the in-between for most grunt models. The effectiveness is incredible for how straight forward the steps are. Love the idea of smashing pigment into the carapace segments. I'm 100% going to reference this order of operations whenever I settle on a color scheme

"Smash it into the carapace" gave me a right good chuckle.

Love it! The texture and colours remind me of the look of the old scheme for behemoth on the nids 3rd edition codex

Super awesome video - thanks for taking the time to put it together. Nice hangout with you on this video. Look forward as a newcomer to see more cool stuff :D I bet you got more! ;) And kudos to your friends for the awesome grim dark paintjobs.

Finally ! Fell in love With the scheme on insta Definitely trying this on my leviathan nids

Texturing with Tamiya plastic putty is an old tank modeler trick to simulate the rough texture of casted turrets and tank parts. I use it on all my Guard vehicles. Being a bit of a perfectionist I don't think I want to do on hundreds of carapaces though 😰

I'm going to with my Macharius, whenever I ever get round to it. It just makes sense (for some panels at least!).

Really love this video - would be keen to see further guides for speedpainting!

This is some good asmr material. Keep up the good work!

I found your channel a month ago and I've been absolutely absorbing it. This is definitely a scheme I'm going to try to do myself as someone new to the hobby! My friend and I split the leviathan box as a way to get into the hobby and this is exactly the kind of way I'd love to do my Tyranids. If you're looking for ideas I'd LOVE to see your take on Grimdark Tau - I got the Tau Combat Patrol and I'm struggling with inspiration. Loved the army painting of Nids + Space Wolves and your Sisters series as well.

absolutely love this scheme

Ken's a good lad, nice to see him getting some love!

Would love to see that space wolf scheme be done. Looks great to be addapted to any other colors.

the bases you did for these models are so cool! could you do a video covering how you did them?:) amazing work!

Cracking and very striking scheme. I’m taking a similar approach with Kraken in a grim dark style with bone and sepia wash through an airbrush.

Totally doing the Uhu Glue thing!!! Watching your old video on it next!

I love this army.

If i ever pick up nids. This is how. Stellar job. Thanks for doing this.

YES, I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS. There is a game called warmachine hords and it has an eldrich monsters army with this color scheme that I absolutely love!

Would love to see more of Ben's & Ken's work :D

This is brilliant! I am in the process of coming up with my own paint scheme for my Nids/Alien hives will be using s mix of models from different creators but damn fetting some cool ideas here. I oove the idea of using crackel paint to add more texture as well.

Looks sick man!

Loved it!

Amazing 🤩

Awesome scheme and guide :)

Jesus every time I see someone else's nids I want to start over and use their scheme. So much good stuff out there.

This is an amazing scheme

Amazing results! And those Space Wolves were speed painted as well? Stellar work!

I am actually floored at how fast Ben can paint

What a great video

Superb look, might sway me away from doing Hive Fleet Behemoth 😮

That's a fab scheme.

Like they're straight out of the Gears of War games. Awesome look!

Since the reveal of the new nids, I've wanted to pick them up but have been completely unable to figure how i want to paint them. This is it... this is the vibe, colours, grimdarkness ive been wanting. Thank you Cult of paint and thank you Ken and Ben♥

Cool

Cool colours. I reckon it could benefit from an all over oil wash or Streaking Grime just to add some more contrast.

I used this scheme for inspiration, mine are being painted black with purple shells and looking like dried blood on the claws

Would love to see an Every Combat Patrol box done in a speed painting style series. Similar to these Nids, couple airbrushes, couple dry brushes, couple contrasts, some basing, done.

Oh that Guard scheme at the end is nice.

Would love to see a vid about that wolves scheme!!!

Thanks Henry @cultofpaint for sharing this tutorial video. Literally got me back in to the hobby after a long hiatus! Two quick questions / recipe requests: 1) What colour did you use on the bases underneath the pigments (dark grey and then a mid grey highlight?) 2) I noticed the Tyranid Prime in the photo montage and am wondering how you did the wings and what the recipe was if you’re open to sharing that? Thanks so much in advance.

I will try something similiar, but I also will put on some streaking grime and especially keep the lower part of the body more dirty and grimey.

would love to see a video on those space wolves!!!

I like this look its got that 'nid horde running through a barren plain with all the dust and debris left over from the stripped bare biomass from the soon to be dead world

Nice

What a wizard

Awesome guide.. are the mouth tentacles of the leapers also carroburg crimson with black? They look a bit darker

I liked when I heard the seagulls haha

This is super amazing scheme. I wonder if there's a way to shift to a purple instead of blue feathering on the skin and still keep the grimdark feel.

ken and ben sound cool, nice to see something a bit different on the channel. Im still very stuck on a nid scheme lol

Sometimes a fully painted army is better than a half painted army to a better standard. I only ever go to my local gw occassionaly and its rare to see a painted army, always swarms of grey. So even if individual models arent spectacular, those with finished armies always look much cooler on the table

I want a close up of that winged tyranid prime, maybe even a 360 view of it

Anyone know if the Solvent Free UHU glue would work? Can only get the solvent free locally right now.

how would you go about painting some GS Cultists to pair with nids of this scheme?

What did you do for the texture of the bases? Or just the basing in general?

It's not particularly robust. But Ken has done this on 1000s points of bids and games with them regularly. Doesn't seem to be a big problem.

The new Black Legion is really good coverage.

for the black on the armor is it just a layer of the black templar contrast paint or did you switch to a normal black akin to abaddon black?

@cultofpaint

Normal black. But you could totally use the black templar.

What paint brushes do you use?

Why didn't you use pigment fixer before you varnished the models?

@cultofpaint

Жыл бұрын

If you're airbrushing it on you might find you just have to adjust how many layers you do.

When you airbrush, what’s your ratio of medium to paint, and what medium do you use? Thinner? Water?

@cultofpaint

Жыл бұрын

airbrush thinner and the ratio will change paint to paint, There's no golden rule. Start at 1:1 and adjust as you need. In this particular video the only time paint was thinned to go through the airbrush was the Ironrach Skin.

The general scheme I like, but I would have gone with a glossy black carapace, then grimed and dusted it down from there. Otherwise, nice technique and methodology.

What nozzle/ needle size do you use ? I believe 4mm- reason I’m asking - taking the shades straight from the pot they never „stick“ the same way as it seems in your video? They run away from me :)

@cultofpaint

Жыл бұрын

Yes, as I say in the video a0.4mm needle/nozzle. It is what our signature series infinity comes loaded with. You could try reducing your pressure or moving the brush further away from the model to help prevent them running away on the model. Equally don't spray one area for too long.

Is the black paint on the caraplace black templar?

Pick up some military modelling tank guides/articles/videos. They'll often do different texturing effects before paint. Or search for Blanchitsu on social media and many hobbyists that paint in that style have their own takes on it too.
