I'm brand new and just getting started in the 40k universe to spend more time with my kids. I'm ok at drawing/painting and must say that your video has me eager to get going on the painting aspect of table top gaming. Awesome work!
brillaint :D welcome to the hobby. its a very different experaince to working in 2d but its something you get use to. I really hope you have all teh fun with your kids and just remember to enjoy it more than being god at it
Came across your channel. I really like how you break things down so that we understand WHY we are doing what we do. I’m not as new of a painter but I think newer painters will absolutely benefit from you because of this. You have a way of explaining it a 5 year old could understand. And surprisingly that’s a skill in this day. People like me, benefit from it because I’m always looking to improve and you have an excellent grasp of how to use colors. I need to start thinking along those lines and also! I still sometimes struggle with thinning paints proper and application. Best advice man “it’s best to take your time and make the investment cause you can really see the difference” because there will always be more minis to paint. Until there isn’t! So like food, enjoy it! Thanks dude. I look forward to learning more!
Thank you for this really nice comment. It’s really appreciated. I just want people to be able to paint miniatures the way they want. These tutorials are tutorials I would want. I started this channel because no one was teaching this stuff 🤷🏼♂️ they still aren’t. Someone has to do it I guess 😛
I just got in to warhammer and your video are really helpfull, to help me improve my painting. Keep up the good work. And would love to see more from Tyranids
Fair bit of work but one of the best approaches to painting Leviathan I've seen, I've seen some methods that take 3 times as long but with very little improvement in the end result.
Thanks! always wanted to get into the table top but finally have, you've help me over come the overwhealing process to paint my first set, love my tyranids
awsome. welcome to the hobby. I'm glad you've found that confidence to get started. Tyranids a great faction to start with as well and I'm getting my own painted :D good luck and remember to enjoy the hobby and take your time
thank you very much for all the videos. it helps me a lot in learning. I bought the same termagants and now with each one I watch this video again and follow your steps. 10 termagants=10 play videos :D
Decided to build and paint a Parasite of Mortrex for a Christmas present for a friend. Having only painted Space Marines and Necrons I quickly realized I had very little idea as to how to actually paint one of these things. Another tutorial well done indeed
I love this so much, I'm going to do my whole army in this scheme. Would you maybe consider doing a short tutorial for the stand-out details on the bigger leviathan models like the smoke and blood on the psychophage and the brain on the neurotyrant?
thank you. I apreciate the comment. you'd be surprised how achievable this is. as long as you practice and learn the basics :) have fun with it as well
I do want to do more Ork tutorials. I just want to get some of the other factions do that I’ve not done yet. I just wish I had more time 🤪 I’m also working on finishing g some personal projects which I would like to showcase in the future 😃
While I'm missing some highlight colors, I'll try this scheme as I have the rest. I'll just try to improvise mixing some colors to try match the ones I do not have, and do some tweaking. Amazing painting video, these Gaunts look great! 👍
I've been painting more with the style reaper teaches but ive been wanting to learn faster techniques for when im wanting to actually finish something 😅 I got the tyranids+paints kit and i wish i had seen this video first. But i also just got yhe ultimate starter set so i still have plenty to play with! I very much love the idea kf starting with yhe contrast!
Tyranids I’ve found are great for doing a high standard pretty quickly. They’re also interesting enough to keep you motivated. Try different things out and see what you like the best 💪🏻
These look great! Had a fun time painting along to this while painting one of my own nids. Would love to see you tackle some of the hive fleets as well.
‘This is absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see more and I can’t believe more people aren’t commenting and liking your videos’ All jokes aside, superb video and I've got it bookmarked so I can pause it as I batch paint 40 termagaunts /facepalm
This is really useful just starting out here however it is really annoying that the tyranids set with the termagents and ripper swarm that comes with paints doesn’t include the emperors children paint as this seems really important to the models. Will have to go back to my local shop
Hi, what is the base you pur the tyranids on with This Plastik bottom Seen in 2:04 your Holding it with your hands, greetings from Germany and excellent work
How do you get to the finer details on the under side of the model? Such as: the inside of the tubes on the gun, the inner...thighs(? lol), and chest? Are you using sub assemblies?
I was just wondering, is it possible to use technical contrast medium instead of lahmian medium to make the skin glaze? Will there be a big difference?
paper is very absorbant and would get soggy. if you don't want to buy anything special, you can actually just use the box the miniatres come in. it has a glossy finish and I find myself using the box regular when I'm painting
How did you manage to reach the chest carapace? With the model assembled I found it virtually impossible to get my brush in behind the arms to the chest to get good coverage.
How do you get your wash to go on so light?? I always have trouble getting mine to look so light yet colored in the recessed areas. I airbush the ivory basecoat before i use the pink wash.
thinning it down with the lahmian medoum really helps keep its ability to work like a wash whilst being quite thin. just apply it once and try not to mess with it and let it do its thing. just remove excess where its building up where you don't want it to
I tend to change out my brushes every 2-3 months. i'll also have about 3 on the go and use a variety of brushes rather than one brush for everything, this helps them last longer and just make sure they're cleaned often. You can get some brush soap and use that on them every so often
I was wondering, if i wanted to go with a purple base for the shell such as naggaroth night or phoenexian purple, what highlight colors would you recommend from the citadel range if i want to use the same steps as in your video but with other colors?
Wriathbone is a very high pgmented paint. If you find it too thick to work with just thin it down with a little more water than you normally would. thin muyltiple layers is always better
I couldn’t say. There are so many different acrylics out there. If I wasn’t using citadel i would use Vallejo. But I would stick to paint that is made for models and miniatures
Thanks. I use clear bases too ans super glue too lol. The minis look so much better on game boards and saves the hassle of ugly pai ted bases that dont even match the terrain. Thank you and please make more videos i learnt a lot 😀
Hey just wanted to swing by after you showed your incredible talent. A little piece of advice, if you are looking straight in the camera it can feel uncomfortable for the viewer you can pick up a miniature and look at it switch your focus. Otherwise I great work that I will watch again and again until my army is painted!

Thank you, I will be covering other hive fleets in the future, don’t worry
Thank you for this, starting my Tyranids army and these are the first things I’m painting (being new to painting in general) so this was super useful!
awsome I'm glad. welcome to the hobby and I hope you enjoy painting them
Your tutorials are always so approachable although the minis turn out looking so professional!
I’m glad you think so. I love knowing knowing these tutorials actually help people 😁
I'm brand new and just getting started in the 40k universe to spend more time with my kids. I'm ok at drawing/painting and must say that your video has me eager to get going on the painting aspect of table top gaming. Awesome work!
I'm also new and was looking at how to paint tyranids as they seemed a little bit more complex than space marines (I got the introductory set)
brillaint :D welcome to the hobby. its a very different experaince to working in 2d but its something you get use to. I really hope you have all teh fun with your kids and just remember to enjoy it more than being god at it

I love mini painting, and have been stumped on making my tyranid army look as clean as I want them too. thank you so much for this
Your welcome, I hope this helps :D
Fair bit of work but one of the best approaches to painting Leviathan I've seen, I've seen some methods that take 3 times as long but with very little improvement in the end result.
I apreciate that. I wanted to come up with a straight forward way that isn't too much work. thank you :)
Excellent and simple reproduction of the gw scheme, another superb vid
Thank you 😊
not really related to this video , but just started painting my first tau untis and using your tutorials are the best
Ooo I want to do some more tau videos in the future. I’m glad you like the tutorials 😃
Thanks! always wanted to get into the table top but finally have, you've help me over come the overwhealing process to paint my first set, love my tyranids

Thank you. I’m just about to start on the psycophage 😃
Thank you for another amazing painting guide!!
I really like the amount of time you invested on them in relation to the results. Im gonna use this tutorial to paint mine. Thanks Sir
Thank you 😁 I hope it’s helpful
Phenomenal tutorial. I don't have all those colors, but it helps me understand what I can do with what I already have. Super helpful!
I always say the most important thing to get from my tutorials are the techniques :D
Top quality content, as we’ve come to expect, your consistency is to be commended my guy!
Thank you 😃
I love this so much, I'm going to do my whole army in this scheme. Would you maybe consider doing a short tutorial for the stand-out details on the bigger leviathan models like the smoke and blood on the psychophage and the brain on the neurotyrant?
I will be yes. I have the winged prime to do next and then in the future I’ll
Cover some of those details 👌🏻
@@TableTopReadyRUclips awesome!
I’m really bad at painting so this is exactly the kind of video I need! Thank you!
No one is bad at painting. It’s just lack of knowledge and practice. Glad this video has helped 💪🏻
Good job! Those space bugs looks amazing
🙏🏻 thank you
I really appreciate these painting tutorials, even if I can’t do the schemes justice just yet :)
thank you. I apreciate the comment. you'd be surprised how achievable this is. as long as you practice and learn the basics :) have fun with it as well
Awesome tutorial, are you gonna do more orks one day ?
Also a video to showcase your figurine collection would be nice ;)
I would def watch the showcase vid!
I do want to do more Ork tutorials. I just want to get some of the other factions do that I’ve not done yet. I just wish I had more time 🤪
I’m also working on finishing g some personal projects which I would like to showcase in the future 😃

I'll just try to improvise mixing some colors to try match the ones I do not have, and do some tweaking.
Amazing painting video, these Gaunts look great! 👍
Thank you. go with what you got. mixing is just as good.
I've been painting more with the style reaper teaches but ive been wanting to learn faster techniques for when im wanting to actually finish something 😅

Just to say thanks for the videos and ideas. I'm thinking of a 40k comeback after 3 decades.😊
Welcome back 😃 good luck and make sure to come back into it slowly. Go check out my getting started video 👌🏻
@@TableTopReadyRUclips Cheers, I've been binge watching your videos. 🙂👍
Excellent tutorial got me looking into buying the tyranids set.
Oooo you can get the Nids from leviathan pretty cheap on eBay at the moment 😉
These look really good. I've got a squad of these on their way soon.
Good luck with em I hope you enjoy painting them 😁
Awesome mate stumbled by today and subbed !! Quality 🙌🏻
Thank you. Welcome to the channel 😁
Yeeaaa at last a tutorial for my dear nids! Thank you for your awesome content and the even more awesome editing and format :D.
Your very welcome. Plenty more Nid content on the way 😁
Thank you, this was super helpful and easy to follow
:D awesome, i'm glad
These look great! Had a fun time painting along to this while painting one of my own nids. Would love to see you tackle some of the hive fleets as well.
I will be covering other hive fleets 😁
There where some great tipps down there. Looks really great!
I’m glad you liked the tutorial 😁
I'm looking forward to painting them
Good luck. Hopefully this tutorial helps 💪🏻
Great tutorial!
thank you :D
I've really been loving your videos, and I'm especially interested in more 'Nids! I would love to see what your approach to wing membranes would be.
Thank you. I'm working on the Tyranid Prime currently which covers the wings :) should be out next week hopefully :D
Cool tutorial. I'm painting my Leviathan box next week.
Good luck :D
@@TableTopReadyRUclips Thank you.
Good tutorials.I wait for Hive fleet typhon thx❤
I’ll be covering other hive fleets in the future 👌🏻
‘This is absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see more and I can’t believe more people aren’t commenting and liking your videos’

Thank you very much. Thats very kind of you to say. Good luck with this guants :D
great work!
thank you :D
This is really useful just starting out here however it is really annoying that the tyranids set with the termagents and ripper swarm that comes with paints doesn’t include the emperors children paint as this seems really important to the models. Will have to go back to my local shop
theres no rush, do what you can for now and you can always come pack to that step once your ready
great video! only thing that killed me was "ammo feed" haha its a magazine!
thank you
Love the highlights also whare do you get your bases
👀
Just google clear acrylic warhammer based. Loads of places do em
Great guide thank you!
Glad you liked it 😃
Beautiful
Could you make a video on how to paint the craftworlds?, exlelent layer and shades
craftworlds are on my list
Great Video mate
Thank you 😊
Great video. Im planning on painting the guns red. How would i go about doing a similar thing with darker to light red
You can follow the same steps, just change the colours you use. You could watch my original leviathan tutorial where I paint it’s gun red 👌🏻
Hi, what is the base you pur the tyranids on with This Plastik bottom Seen in 2:04 your Holding it with your hands, greetings from Germany and excellent work
hello Germany. if you google clear acrylic warhammer bases then your'll see a lot of places sell them
Thanks for this tried to paint my first termigant today and it went terribly! (Before I watched this video I should add)
ha I'm glad you added that last bit, I was worried :P I'm glad I could help
Don't care for tyranids but I love your tutorials..
thank you. maybe one day you'll need this ha
How do you get to the finer details on the under side of the model? Such as: the inside of the tubes on the gun, the inner...thighs(? lol), and chest? Are you using sub assemblies?
for these guys I didn't use sub assemblies. you just need to get in there with your brush :P
I was just wondering, is it possible to use technical contrast medium instead of lahmian medium to make the skin glaze? Will there be a big difference?
you can use contrast medium, I just found that it dries too fast.
What works well for keeping the paint on like would normal paper work or what kind of paper
paper is very absorbant and would get soggy. if you don't want to buy anything special, you can actually just use the box the miniatres come in. it has a glossy finish and I find myself using the box regular when I'm painting
@@TableTopReadyRUclips If i were willing to buy something considered special what would be a good option?
Looking hot!!..nice vid for beginners
😁 thanks
@@TableTopReadyRUclips are you UK based?..if so , which county?
How did you manage to reach the chest carapace? With the model assembled I found it virtually impossible to get my brush in behind the arms to the chest to get good coverage.
ummm I just did my best to be honest. you don't need to be super neat and you can reach in from behind
Amazing tutorial. Any chance you could do one for behemoth. There just isn't enough references for behemoth these days.
Other hive fleets are being worked on 💪🏻
@@TableTopReadyRUclips absolute legend
How do you get your wash to go on so light?? I always have trouble getting mine to look so light yet colored in the recessed areas. I airbush the ivory basecoat before i use the pink wash.

when i make medium + valupus pink for skins what is different between contrast medium and lamian medium ? can i use both ?
you can use either. its easier to work with Lahmian medium though as the contrast version dries a lot quicker
Where do you get that plastic cup used has for mounting the model? Is that home-made?
they are plastic shot glasses :) you can get about 50 for £5
i dont think the top two pumps on the gun are fingers, only the one with the nail. on the other hand they have 4 finger total no?
your probably right :P
how often do you replace your Layer S brush? do you get a new one for every set (10 miniatures?) or do they last much longer than that?
I tend to change out my brushes every 2-3 months. i'll also have about 3 on the go and use a variety of brushes rather than one brush for everything, this helps them last longer and just make sure they're cleaned often. You can get some brush soap and use that on them every so often

I'm going to painting rge psycophage next month. I'll be covering a darker carapace if you can wait :)
@@TableTopReadyRUclips oh, thats perfect ill keep an eye out for it then 🤩
did you glue them to the base? the karapace un their underside is so hard to reach
I did, you have to paint so many. you can mount them different if you want. what ever works best for you
Cool!
How did you paint the edge/under of the scales on the back without touching the white skin? well done!
Very carefully 😁
When hes making a glaze does he just add water?
yes to make the glaze I just use water :)
Does anyone feel wraithbone is supperrrr thick compared to other paints? Im havint issues having it come out clean
Wriathbone is a very high pgmented paint. If you find it too thick to work with just thin it down with a little more water than you normally would. thin muyltiple layers is always better
Fabuleux
Thank you :)
What do you use to mount the mini onto the plastic cup?
it's just blu tac
Hi can I ask what paint rack you use in this video . Thanks
they're for nail varnish. I have a link for amazon in the description
Will my models still look good if i use non brand acrylics
I couldn’t say. There are so many different acrylics out there. If I wasn’t using citadel i would use Vallejo. But I would stick to paint that is made for models and miniatures
nice
Great tutorial. Question, what is it you are using as a pallet there? Just paper?
It’s a pallet pad. It’s a citadel product.
@@TableTopReadyRUclips thank you for letting me know!
What do you use to glue them on the clear bases?
I just use super glue 🖖🏻
Thanks. I use clear bases too ans super glue too lol. The minis look so much better on game boards and saves the hassle of ugly pai ted bases that dont even match the terrain. Thank you and please make more videos i learnt a lot 😀
Do you really use Lahmian medium or should i use contrast medium for the skin
I use lahmian medium personally but you can absolutly use Contrast Medium as well. They both do they same thing pretty much :)
Hey just wanted to swing by after you showed your incredible talent. A little piece of advice, if you are looking straight in the camera it can feel uncomfortable for the viewer you can pick up a miniature and look at it switch your focus.

Just do this for 50+ models lul
