Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Termagants Part 4

While preparing for the Genestealers, I had a few termagants painted as a test subject for the possible colour scheme should I decide to start a Tyranid army for W40K. I'll probably go with possibly Hive Fleet Tiamat (Blue/Purple) as they were supposedly the scheme which the genestealers in most of the Space Hulk video games were from.



First Two Prototype



 Unit 1

This unit was painted based on a method I read up in Mini War Gaming's post. The carapace was glazed with Guilliman Blue after layered with Celestra Grey. The glaze does not seem to apply well as seen above. However, it does give an pattern to the carapace of the termagant. Main body is layered with Genestealer Purple.

Unit 2

Same as above with the glaze applied after layering with Macragge Blue instead of Celestra Grey.

Unit 3

This unit suffered from poor priming with Bosny's Flat White which resulted in loss of some facial details. The carapace is layered with Macragge Blue and the edges drybrushed with Calgar Blue. Exposed body parts are layered with Genestealer Purple. Gun is layered with Ushbati Bone and washed with Nuln Oil. This unit, as you will probably noticed, was painted in the same time and scheme with my very first genestealer.

Unit 4

Also another unit disfigured from poor priming. If you have a suggestion on an alternative whites to use other than Citadel's, do let me know. Like unit 4, this unit was painted together with genestealer 2 and 3. Layered with Xereus Purple before being washed with Carroburg Crimson. Carapace is then layered with Macragge Blue and drybrushed with Calgar Blue. Exposed parts are layered with Genestealer Purple. Gun, like before, was layered with Ushbati Bone. Forgot to wash it.
