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.

 

Warhammer 40K: Space Hulk Genestealers Part 2

Got some genestealers painted over the last few days.

 

 

This first guy was painted using Genestealer as a base, followed by Macragge Blue for the carpace and the skin, as per design in the Space Hulk card game. The spine is the drybrushed with Calgar Blue. I should say that it was a surprised move away from how the termagants were painted as I had always assumed that the arms were the main flesh. Anyhow, the fangs were painted with Ceramite White and Mephiston Red for the tongue. I still need to work more on the toxin sac as I am still not happy with the result. Primarily due to the size and difficult positioning of the sac itself.

Genestealer with extended carapace

 

I did some changes with the 2nd and 3rd genestealer. For one, I based the unit with Xereus Purple first, followed by a generous wash of Carroburg Crimson. This is to give a base shading over several parts which I could skip painting like the creases in the arm joints and such. I then painted the skin and carapace with Macragge Blue and drybrush the spine with Calgar Blue, just like the first unit. The skin is then painted with Genestealer Purple to give the proper bright colour. At a glance, there isn't much difference between the two methods. The second method does give a better depth in the grooves of the genestealer.

I sure do not want to be caught by these guys charging at me XD
