Tyranid 'Coconut Crab' Paint Scheme Tutorial (Part 1)
Ойындар
Here's a tutorial on how I paint the Tyranids on my Instagram:
/ catgutpainting
Part 2 to this tutorial is now available here:
• Tyranid 'Coconut Crab'...
The color scheme is based on the real-world coconut crab, and is a lot easier to paint than it looks.
Total paints needed:
-White Primer (I use Badger Stynylrez)
-White (I use VMA White)
-VMC Orange Brown
-VMC German Camo Black Brown
-Army Painter Dark Tone
-Army Painter Red Tone
-Army Painter Light Tone
-Army Painter Soft Tone
-Army Painter Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium
-Varnish (I use Pledge floor gloss and AK Interactive Ultra Matte)

This may be my favorite style of painting a tyranid. I may do something like this for mine, but im thinking a greenish/ brown jungle scheme. Awesome video and job on them!

How about a marine paint scheme, marine as in the sea? Could have ur figures, covered in stringy seaweed type stuff and barnacles!

@@prezzeruk4054 I painted a few up, I the one I like the most is a dark brown /red/orange with a crimson wash. it came out looking a little like a crab shell. I've been looking at pic online of different crustaceans and im going to try to get the fades they have. With luck my models look like redish sea crabs coming to eat you. The jungle one I did was a brown / dark green tan color and it looked awful .

this is one of the nicest scheme I've seen for tyranides so far.
Where the HELL! have you been all my life... you painting finesse is insane!
I can´t thank you enough for posting this and your original pic tutorials on FB. I spent years with my Nids on the shelves because I was unable to find any color scheme that made me WANT to paint them up. After I saw your posts, it clicked and I already have most of my models painted in this scheme.

Personally I'm waiting for rules that make me WANT to paint models up so I can field them in a game and not be embarrassed.

@@vaettra1589 These things take time. I've accepted that I might not win much under the current rules (I especially avoid meta lists, so I'm not using Swarmlord, Genestealers, or Kraken), but by the time I have a decent-sized army painted up, who knows what the rules might be. I've been in and out of this hobby for two decades now, and I've learned to be happy with the hobbying and consider the game to be a fun bonus. YMMV.

@@CatgutPainting I respect that there are different takes on this hobby, personally I'm in it for the game. These days I can't be bothered to paint a unit that sucks in-game. I have monsters in unopened boxes, waiting for decent rules. Swarmlord and Genestealers are mid-table ok, but the competitive Nid build currently is Leviathan Gant carpet (like 200 fearless critters) with morale protection from infantry characters. Boring as hell to assemble, paint and play.

Tyranid Battleforce incoming this December. Our collective wallets cry in agony...
Absolutely beautiful design and execution. Those 'Nids look stunning!
I love this so much! Words cannot describe how cool I think this paint job is!
Haven’t watched painting vids for a while and this just came up as a random recommendation. Super cool! Absolutely love the style.
This is a gorgeous and easy technique. I've been wanting to make a nids army, and I think that, with a different set of colors, I will be using this technique for my models. Absolutely lovely effect man. Thanks for this :)
Thanks for all the tutorials, it made me switch to a tyranid army! Best tyranids Ive seen so far just perfect!!
soooooo fresh, not just BANG colors and giant contrast between plating and flesh. loved it!
I love this scheme so much. You're amazing.
Just watched this... Felt compelled to write you and express my admiration for ur skill and creativity on this project... The best paint scheme I have seen... Great job!
Super enjoyed this video! Can't wait to see more. Glad I found this channel in it's early days!
Looks so good. I'm just starting nids, and I am tempted to try this. Just looks so good.
That is a wonderful colour scheme and so many good techniques :D
Woah. This is soooooo good! Please make more tutorials!
One of the best paint jobs i have ever seen. Well Done!!! I want this figure now to try this.
Well at least you're not shellfish!🤣😂 Thanks for sharing. Good job on the paint👍

I love colour schemes like this! Make one area/detail of the model look amazing (in this case the carapace) then just use really simple, fast techniques to paint the rest. Gives you a fantastic looking end result, without the need to spend a stupid amount of time painting every surface 😁
Great editing and sound quality for your channels first video, and don't forget the awesome paint job.
You're a genius sir. Revolutionary way of painting!
Astounding, intricate yet not complicated. Inspiring tutorial. Thanks
I just tried that first on my own first time - it's amazing tutorial. Huge thanks for posting this
This is a beautiful scheme, love the naturalistic look for Nids
It is amazing how so simple steps produce such an amazing result! Congratulations!
This is truly amazing! Wow, the entire time I was just like Wow. it seems pretty easy with an amazing outcome. Thanks for sharing.
What a great color scheme, hats off to ya
really cool my dude, i like the non stop non ramblimg straight to the point approach, some people forget to use
Outstanding - never seen a Tyranid scheme I liked until now.
One bug player to another, you sir, are doing us proud. Keep it up!
What a really pleasing and different scheme. Massively satisfying to look at I have to say
Thats the best Tyranid colour scheme ive seen. I would paint mine like that if i had some
It's just amazing - keep em coming!
Amazing work dude keep it up! I just striped my whole army to do this scheme, and for anyone who uses citadel paints and wants to do this scheme without having to do the mixing (im not skilled enough to do it either? I found that after priming" base coating with (white scar) then after doing all the other steps, shade with (seraphim sapia) gets super close to this as well. I tryed both ways and found the regular shade looks cleaner vs the contrast paint. Thank you for the video my dude. Thank you for the insperation
you sir got my Sub! most interesting and pleasing Tyranid model ive seen in years! good job
Wow, that looks awesome.
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! Have been following you socials for a while now and love the scheme! Hope to see more videos in the future :)
For some reason i really want to see you paint something from the tau. You dont make this stuff to complicated. Its a very straight forward way to approach this. I love it
I love this paint scheme, very creative!
this video is an absolute gem for us hobbyist. please make more tutorials
havent played tapletop atleast since 10 years, still watching the whole video. nice work.
You make it looks so easy! Inspirational stuff. Thank you!
This scheme is awesome. Well made.
This is hands down my favorite Tyranids scheme I've seen. I always have preferred schemes that make the Nids more animalistic, insectoid, and natural. As opposed to the more vibrant, but cartoon like classic nid schemes. Simply amazing looking.
What a natural looking bug model....great job
Beautiful results!! Just outstanding!
That is absolutely amazing. I’m considering adding spots to freshen up my carapace. Currently it’s just a camo green base with a green wash over the top, which looks fine but I think some dark and light spots would make it pop. Some interesting ideas to try from this video. Thanks.
Beautiful job, great tutorial love how it looks.
Absolutely great! It reminds me of the german camouflage pattern from the 40s, that uses the same technique to distract the eye from clear lines of a silhouette. Great video, please make more!
this looks simply stunning. kudos.
Absolutely gorgeous 😮
Incredible and I love it. Instantly subscribed and looking forward to the next one!
Great tut dude. Hope to see more!
Really great and direct tutorial - thanks a lot, hope there will be more video coming on this - it is a really good effective format.
this is a fantastic paint scheme. I have a similar scheme that I have been working with, I am relatively new to the hobby, so I can definitely use some of your techniques from this to futher improve my process for my Nids.
Amazing scheme and brilliantly executed- thanks for sharing 🤘
Great paint job, excellent tutorial.
Thumbs up for a great color scheme excellently executed.
Thank you for an informative article, I've often wondered how to get that effect right, this is most useful.
Epic paint job and so simple. Great tutorial. Earned a sub easily
That was very impressive and I think I may certainly try this style on tyranids when I next paint some.
FANTASTIC tutorial!!! Many thanks for this!
This is such an fast, effective and good locking color scheme to get your nids out of the door quickly! Thanks for sharing :)
Stunning technique!
that is one of the best colour schemes 35 years i have every seen
What an excellent paint scheme. You've got my subscription.
I like this a lot. You can tell it's a great colour scheme when it's dead simple and manages to look good even with no highlighting at all. Would be a great way to churn out a whole army of good-looking figures. I'd be interested to see how this looks on a bigger figure with some more detailwork and some proper highlights. Might look incredible. Maybe I'll strip one of my models and give it a try. Great work.
This is such a great tutorial!
Absolutely love the effect, will be trying something similar with different colors.... lovely job...
This looks Fantastic. Great Job 👍
I love this scheme! I am new to nids and can't wait to attempt this with green, brown and white
Awesome and a very original paintjob! Thanks for sharing, great work
Incredible paint scheme - wow. Thank you!
Best technique for painting nids ever!!! I'm inspired thanks mate!
Fantastic paint scheme. This was exactly the technique I was looking for to paint a tiefling devil character for a friend’s DnD character.
Great video! Looks amazing. Going to use different colors and try this. Many thanks.
That thing looks amazing. Wicked job man
Thus is awesome ! Now I’m inspired to buy me some new tyranids and try this with different colors
Thank you so much. This is really an amazing look, and detailed, useful explanation. I tried it and am psyched with the results. I have a ways to go, but in one try, I think you got me 90% of the way there!
Superb originality! Looks brilliant.
You are a madman and a genius sir. Really enjoyed this video and your style of presentation. And the model looks amazing
Great dot sceen technique! Really made it organic
Thanks for the tips they look really good. Can't wait to apply some of these skills to mine
Amazing color scheme! Gorgeous
your voice and explanation are clear :) thw for the tuto :) keep going
Brilliant. Well done.
Wow, looks great
Fantastic paint job. I’m going to try it with different colours and see how it works.
wouldn't mind doing a reverse version with dark colour over most of it and then going up to a fluo pink maybe. I wanted to do some bio-nids. PS: I remember seeing you doing these on facebook with a little beach scene and stuff. I think I learned from you about using FX paste to create shallow water effects.
Really good tutorial ! I'm loving it
That was SUPER GOOD! Please keep making videos they are great, you have a new subscriber.
Beautiful job! Great video!
Really grat job, beautiful result, thanks for sharing !
Wow! That’s really amazing man! Great job!
That looks totally badass! I've been trying to decide how to paint mine, and I think we have a strong contender! :)
