Defeatist attitudes are a plague. I have bad eye damage in one eye giving me a large blind spot in the center of my vision which also means I have no literally no depth perception when I'm looking at something. Didn't paint for the longest time because I thought this would make it near impossible. When I finally gave it a shot the first squad I did was far above tabletop standards. Adapt and overcome.
Definitely like the xenomorph one the best. It's done so quickly, but looks so 'natural'. The classic scheme kind of looks like a scary alien just came to work in his pyamas.
lol same - bought off Ebay a week ago, cracked open last night and oh look a guide on how to paint a 6 year old game pops up today. Cheers for the tips - Going with glossy black and blood covered white for mine.
I had the original issue with both expansions and painted over fifty of these things in original purple colour. I still twitch when I see a Genestealer. Great vid as always 😃
Blurple! My favourite is the Gigerseque one, that is really nicely done. I also have a soft spot for the classic Genestealer colours, as the original Genestealer Chaos Cult army list was first published in the first White Dwarf I ever bought - issue 116, in 1989! By the way, it looks like you really need to scrape some dried paint out of the lid of your pot of yellow paint, if you want it to stay useable for much longer.
You sir, are a gentleman. I have been looking at my Space Hulk box for ages, daunted by the volume of genestealers but I’ll have them all primed and ready for paint tonight. After painting up the BSF sets and seeing the amazing result I got following along, I can’t wait for this.
really love the brown one. it feels the most natural, like it could be a real horrifying alien. Gene-stealers always start feeling "fake" when they are brighter fancier colours
I've been absorbing all your tips and tricks for a couple of months and yesterday I give myself some courage to paint my first miniature! I found myself remembering/using a lot of the info you give and that made me felt more confident, soooo thanks a lot!
What an inspiring video! Really love the scheme and the way you cut out all the complexity- it really feels like something an amateur like me can achieve! I'm really looking forward to seeing the terminators and the 2ed tactical marines painted up too - especially in a classic goblin green style!
Do it! :D I'm in the middle of making up a GSC and Tyranid army. My friend is basically as salty as Hexagon about them being trash but, the collectors edition rule book says otherwise. Nids are coming and they're approaching Terra. Tbh I'm not a competitive person. I play with things that are rule of cool, and GSC and nids are cool as heck :D
as far as I and the people in r/Tyranids can tell, they are not going to be anywhere near good during the beginning of 9th, hopefully that gets sorted out eventually. still isn't an excuse for me to stop painting my nids though!
Man, I miss my old Genestealer army. The hobby shop where I used to live had a bunch of Space Hulk and Tyranid Attack games for their players to play and would sell the minis from the games for 25 cents each, I bought a lot of them. This was about the time of the White Dwarf Genestealer army list, All I have left is three of the Tyranids that must have been put away in my Battle Masters or Warhammer Quest games. 30 years later and I'm getting back into the hobby with my sons so it's a lot of fun! I wish I had your tutorials back then! :) Keep up the great work!
I've been watching miniature painters youtube for so long now - you finally provided a HD close-up of the color consistency after adding water. Usually people only reference skim milk. I think this helps a lot for many new painters. Also: favorite color scheme is the xenomorph
Quoting the late, great Bill Paxton in one of his best roles, from the best film ever made... You sir definitely deserve my smashing of the Like button
I know this video is older but your tips and instruction are the best I have ever seen. I mainly wanted to start painting for the mcfarlane warhammer figures. You explanation and demonstration is perfect. Thank you so much.
i remember painting my first genestealer 30 years ago as a 13 year old in a purple and pink colour scheme. but i must say your "alien" inspired version is top class.
Nice video. Reminds me of my tyranid army back in the days of 3rd ed. Liche Purple, drybrushed Blood Red, with claws Bleached Bone drybrushed over Bronzed Flesh. Those paints are still going strong over 20 years later!
Midwinter Minis yo one of my fav content creators just took a hiatus from RUclips bc of the difficulty of being on this platform. Pls make sure you take a break/holiday when u need to - we want you tu have a healthy channel. Take care dude
Love to see more of your speed paints, they're always so relaxing to watch and listen to late at night with the lights off and the dark moody tunes. I don't even paint/play warhammer!
That Aliens scheme is what I am going to use for my whole collection of Space Hulk Genestealers. It is magnificent and truly looks like the Aliens from the movies.
I’m sorry but wha- I can’t believe your colour blind you are so talented . You are really just proving that anyone can do anything . Thank you for always bringing a smile to my screen .🦋🌌🌑
Tbh I love them all but that might be from the fact that you painted them so well. HOWEVER, OG Genestealer and Xenostealer look absolutely gorgeous. Also Space Hulk Terminator speed paint when? I'd love to see some wacky but still badass schemes.
I just got done a couple of weeks ago with my 2e Space Hulk genestealers, goodness what a chore! But I have the 3e/4e 'stealers yet to paint, and this is the perfect guide. THANK YOU! You got a subscription, sir.
My Tyranids belong to "Hive Fleet Bumble" I base coat the model black, then on all the chitinous armour plating I paint on patterned markings similar to that found on wasps. I start the pattern with a dark yellow and gradually blend up to an extremely bright yellow finish. I do the same yellow colour scheme on all of their Rending Claws, scything Talons & Boneswords. I have no shooting weapons within my army! only sharp, pointy stabby ones! I wanted to symbolise a wasp/bee's stinger within my armies theme. I picked out the eyes & tongues with a bright vibrant green (GW Moot Green) to really make them pop on the models. I then used (GW Ardcoat) on all of the chitinous armour plating & all the sharp, pointy stabby weapons to finish the models. The paint scheme looks striking when you deploy the army for a game the vast size differences in the models pulls it all together as my hungry horde rushes across the battlefield.
@@tootyfrooty7604 i hope she has some big claw carnifex to really sell that claw transition ( had to look up some images as i didnt know what they looked like :) ). sounds awesome
11 years I've had my space hulk box waiting for paint! My Space Hulk box is strangely important to me, because I was homeless for a few years and it was the last thing I recovered from my house. Despite the elements (and the slugs!!) the box wasn't damaged at all. All the colour schemes look great but I think the green one seems the most interesting, having never seen genestealers painted that way before, and given the context of classic aliens. I'm quite partial to the xenomorph colour scheme too.
I like the green paint scheme, much as I realise you were going for typical alien fare, it gave me a pretty heavy Creature from the Black Lagoon vibe which I love.

Wonder what his reaction would be with those glasses
I have double vision in both eyes, where i essentially see 3 or 4 versions of the same image...Im now a commission painter :D
*tearful salute*
Haha, you're too nice. Let's see how nice you are next week though, after our collab... wait, are we suppose to be keeping it a secret? D-:
Smart. Starting a warhammer channels so you can mark it as a business expense
Big brain time!
@@MidwinterMinis this gives me an idea
@@MidwinterMinis +1
Dude, that xenomorph scheme is *chef’s kiss*
Right? Legit makes me want to start a Tyranid army.
i love the colour scheme as they actually look like genestealers rather than the creamstealers gw paint them as
Creamstealers hahah
@@AconKirt No one's custard cream biscuits shall be safe!
Creamstealers, the genetically engineered breakfast cereal kids can't get enough of
Ah yes, creamstealers
Arch-enemies of the Adeptus Custardes
Creamstealers!
The “Alien” color scheme was awesome. I liked the stabby color effects! Keep up the GREAT videos, Guy!
I think I’m going to try it!
Would like to like but can't, it is on the funny number.
Definitely like the xenomorph one the best. It's done so quickly, but looks so 'natural'.
The classic scheme kind of looks like a scary alien just came to work in his pyamas.
Not going to lie I laughed when you flexed the RUclips award
I laughed when I did it ;)
I’m honestly just happy to see that he got the award. He earned it.
@@MidwinterMinis Congratulations to Penny for getting the 100,000 award
Those things are worth flexing!
Same
I'd love to see a whole Tyranid Army painted up like Xenomorphs in this style. So good!
I've always been a fan of the classic Genestealer color scheme, and you did it really well.
The fact he can paint so many models that look amazing fast while colorblind is amazing!
This was posted the actual moment I sat down to paint my own Space Hulk genestealers. I'm scared.
lol same - bought off Ebay a week ago, cracked open last night and oh look a guide on how to paint a 6 year old game pops up today.
Cheers for the tips - Going with glossy black and blood covered white for mine.
The great devourer watchesssss
Guy put cameras in your place. Now thin your paints and go finish those 'stealers! 😂
Same, I'm using the terminators in a deathwatch army I'm building instead of dropping more money on separate terminator squads. Spooky
such a good omen
Dana Howl and Midwinter Minis, two great tastes that go great together.
I had the original issue with both expansions and painted over fifty of these things in original purple colour. I still twitch when I see a Genestealer. Great vid as always 😃
Hatty knocked all of her’s out the park and Guy’s 90s and Leviathan were legit.
Well done.
The flexing part with the Silver Button is my favourite
Blurple!
My favourite is the Gigerseque one, that is really nicely done. I also have a soft spot for the classic Genestealer colours, as the original Genestealer Chaos Cult army list was first published in the first White Dwarf I ever bought - issue 116, in 1989!

We used to call them the California Raisins

So true

Space Hulk and your Beginners video are what got me into Warhammer. I really appreciate that you got me into a new hobby.
2:33 -- Priming your palette. Smart lad! That tip alone makes the video.
It’s like Gordon Ramsey seasoning the outside of the oven.
Feeling guilty - I only ever painted the Terminators and the genestealers remain unpainted, hiding in the same metal Quality Street tin since 1989!
Surprised by how much I loved the green scheme, definitely my favourite
They mostly paint them at night. mostly. Those Giger style ones are fantastic! loved the subtle colours.
Being obsessed with The Guyver is a perfectly natural feeling.
Seeing Dana Howl on the patron list makes me happy!
Please always do painting videos, I could watch them all day!
really love the brown one. it feels the most natural, like it could be a real horrifying alien. Gene-stealers always start feeling "fake" when they are brighter fancier colours
Love the RUclips backdrop, great way to showcase the minis. All are great but partial to the shiny black and classic.
"I've chosen some paints with good opacity..."
*stares at Flash Gitz Yellow*
Ugh you can keep your flash gitz yellow. Yuck!
This is still a fantastic game to play. The green skin looked good closely followed by the cream coloured one. Loved it all
I love the ET inspired one, great idea for the reddish wash!
The best flex of the silver plate I've ever seen on RUclips.
I can't wait to see what you'll do when you'll have the gold one you truly deserve!
They look really good, well done 🙂
"it's been sitting on your shelf unpainted for at least 6 years now"
Never felt so personnaly attacked by a youtuber before :P
Gloss off-black looks awesome, almost pearlescent. Wow.
Great schemes! Goes to show how effective one can be in very little time at the table.
For someone who’s colour-blind you make the best painting tutorials I’ve ever seen
That green scheme can be used on so many things other than genestealers, its amazing!
Nice variety of schemes. Your tutorials make batch painting seem both fun and plausible.
I've been absorbing all your tips and tricks for a couple of months and yesterday I give myself some courage to paint my first miniature! I found myself remembering/using a lot of the info you give and that made me felt more confident, soooo thanks a lot!

Now I feel bad that I haven't painted mine yet. I guess its a Tyranid army for 9th!
Just remember, it's Guy's fault!😂
Do it! :D
I'm in the middle of making up a GSC and Tyranid army. My friend is basically as salty as Hexagon about them being trash but, the collectors edition rule book says otherwise. Nids are coming and they're approaching Terra.
Tbh I'm not a competitive person. I play with things that are rule of cool, and GSC and nids are cool as heck :D
Same here, but the idea was there quite some time^^'
as far as I and the people in r/Tyranids can tell, they are not going to be anywhere near good during the beginning of 9th, hopefully that gets sorted out eventually.
still isn't an excuse for me to stop painting my nids though!

These are my favorite videos. I love to see the process of painting and the love that comes with the craft. Thanks!
5 great schemes AND a reference to the greatest film of all time (Mac and Me)? I can't imagine this day getting any better.
Quoting the late, great Bill Paxton in one of his best roles, from the best film ever made... You sir definitely deserve my smashing of the Like button
I know this video is older but your tips and instruction are the best I have ever seen. I mainly wanted to start painting for the mcfarlane warhammer figures. You explanation and demonstration is perfect. Thank you so much.
Love the H.R Giger scheme, simple, but very striking
i remember painting my first genestealer 30 years ago as a 13 year old in a purple and pink colour scheme. but i must say your "alien" inspired version is top class.
I hope we see another release of this... I'd love to play it.
I liked all of them but mostly the last, classic colours of the Space Hulk DOS Game from 1993. Great job!
Painting the plastic tray gray. Genius!
Nice video. Reminds me of my tyranid army back in the days of 3rd ed. Liche Purple, drybrushed Blood Red, with claws Bleached Bone drybrushed over Bronzed Flesh. Those paints are still going strong over 20 years later!
"It's been sitting on the shelf for at least 6 years"
No, More like 11
"Maybe 30"
No, that one has only been there for 24 years 😳
Sitting on your shelf for almost as long as Penny has been alive!
Midwinter Minis yo one of my fav content creators just took a hiatus from RUclips bc of the difficulty of being on this platform. Pls make sure you take a break/holiday when u need to - we want you tu have a healthy channel. Take care dude
Yeah... I can't choose a favorite, because they're all so... Geiger. It's the Geiger. Such a creative approach!
30 years. Bought mine in 1989. Still my favorite GW game.
The xenomorph scheme is genius. It's so hard to make black interesting. Thanks Guy!
I really liked the xenomorph and the green color schemes. I have ever seen models that had that wet look about them.
The Xenomorph for sure!!!! I've done something similar for mine but I've used purple and bright green!
Really love your speedpainting tutorials specelly this one becuase it had multiple color schemes
That green look so much better than i was expecting!
Love to see more of your speed paints, they're always so relaxing to watch and listen to late at night with the lights off and the dark moody tunes. I don't even paint/play warhammer!
That Aliens scheme is what I am going to use for my whole collection of Space Hulk Genestealers. It is magnificent and truly looks like the Aliens from the movies.
This has been one of your most enjoyable videos. I liked that you give so many colour scheme options. Thank you.
This is amazing. I love the videos where you show multiple colour schemes on models. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Love that xenomorph scheme. Inspired a new genestealer cult army!
That Geiger inspired stealer though... man, so simple, yet so well done!
The way you did the claws in this gives me a lot of info on how to fix my botched Shadowhulk. thanks!
Either the green or the Xenomorph style is my favorite. Makes me want to go full Cthulhu on a Lictor model.
'It's an ugly planet, a bug planet'
That's the paint scheme that was missing, one of the arachnids from starship troopers.
Mediiiiiiiiiccccc!!!!!!!
Green is definitely my favorite
Really love the wet gloss look. Will try to remember it for any future projects.
I’m sorry but wha- I can’t believe your colour blind you are so talented . You are really just proving that anyone can do anything . Thank you for always bringing a smile to my screen .🦋🌌🌑
Finaly a speed painting guide for alien style Genestealers. 👍
Good to see a Guyver shout out. There are still a few of us fans floating around out there.
That green scheme is an excellent Hive Fleet Gorgon look!
I like all of them but especially the lubricated boy and the talented pole dancer.
Great video!
Tbh I love them all but that might be from the fact that you painted them so well. HOWEVER, OG Genestealer and Xenostealer look absolutely gorgeous.
Also Space Hulk Terminator speed paint when? I'd love to see some wacky but still badass schemes.

Isn't it winter there right now? How deep is the snow?
Midwinter Minis, it winter but yesterday I cooked an egg on the sidewalk
@@MidwinterMinis We only had a little bit, but the paint still dried in a minute.

You just had to upload this the day after I finished my genestealers!

Beautiful models, seriously well painted and in that time!!!😱 nice job!
Haha. The play button flex 👍
So many good memories of this game.
The black glossy one look amazing!!
Instantly want to repurchase this game and paint it! The Alien Genestealer is amazing and so so simple.
