Warhammer 40K starter set - Painting a Tyranid with just 4 paints
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In this video I'm painting a Tyranid from the new Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Starter Set. I use just the colours from the set, and the included starter brush. No airbrush, no wet pallet! This guide is ideal for painting your first mini, or for more experienced painters looking for new ways to paint with limited colours. I will show you everything from undercoating with a brush, through to shading and adding highlights.
Using this simple guide, you will quickly be able to paint up any Warhammer miniatures ready for the table top. Subscribe to Drunk On Tea for regular painting guides for Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar and Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game

If you use this video for inspiration to paint your own models, please tag me in them or send me a message with pictures on social media (links in the description). I love seeing all of your painted minis!
As someone who literally bought this box a couple of days ago, this video is a big help.
Got a sub from me!
Glad to be helpful. Hopefully you enjoy painting up all those Tyranids
A very nice tutorial that makes the most of the starter set and shows you don't need 100+ paints in your collection
Thank you! I see so many people saying how you need a load of fancy stuff and paints when you just start out, it was good to go back to basics and show that these new starter sets are ideal for someone just starting out in the hobby
you need atleast 200+
Thank you so much for your videos, I bought the introductory set and just finished my first Tyranid following your tutorial. Your way is so much better than the way Games Workshop shows how to do it in the book that comes with the introductory set.
Thank you! Welcome to the Hobby! I'm glad the guide was helpful, some of the GW paint guides they give with models aren't the most useful, so I'm happy that my one helped you out!
That was one of the best tutorials for just using the starter set painting I have seen !? Two very meaty thumbs up. Also a sub too!? Now to check out your other videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Hopefully, you enjoy the rest of my videos as well!
I really love that you show a proper base coat. I’m sick of the myth that you have to ‘prime’ a model
I hate that myth as well. Rattle cans are quick and easy, but if someone is starting out or is only painting a single model, then a good solid base coat is all you need. It's just a layer, so the other paints have something to "stick" to rather than just plastic.
This is an amazing video. Thank you so much. I'm just about to buy this set as my first minatures! Perfect
I've been getting into Underworlds recently and want to paint my models, I'm glad I've finally found a video using the kit I'm looking at for practice and using only the stuff in it (sans the model holder)
Thanks for showing even an amateur that's never held a brush before can do a decent job
Thank you! With a little practice and some patience, you should be able to paint models you are happy with pretty quickly. The only thing I would say to get is a cheap pack of brushes from amazon or your local hobby store. It's good to have a few different sizes around, but with cheap ones, when they get ruined or too hooked, you can just throw them away and get some new ones.
Welcome to the hobby, and have fun painting the Underworlds models, they are some really nice looking minis.
Brilliant, a perfect accompaniment to the Space Marine one you did, thanks so much!
Let me know if there are any other models you would like to see a guide for, and I'll add it to the list of videos to make
finaly after about 4 other tutorials for the starter set using things that are not in the starter box here is finaly one thats only useing the starter set and nothing else THANK YOU
i am just starting colecting never painted anything and between zero expirience and a language barrier i have no idea what a drybrusch even exaktly is ( used in gw guide) so just thanks
Thank you! Welcome to the hobby! Hopefully, you enjoy painting painting your first minis! There are quite a lot of videos out there that use a lot of advanced techniques and equipment ( the number of videos that will tell you that you "need" an airbrush or wet pallette is crazy), but its possible to achieve good results with just practice, a few paints and basic equipment.
Please let me know how you get on with painting your first models!
I’ve just brought this set,Thankyou for a helpful video (and subtitles)
I'm glad the video was helpful. Enjoy painting the miniatures!
Just bought the starter set today and saw this tutorial by chance. Amazing guide, I will definitely try to paint my Termagants this way. I will check the Infernus Marines tutorial too. Liked and Subscribed. Great job mate.
Thank you very much! Hopefully, you can learn a few techniques from these videos. Welcome to the hobby!
Nice work brother! The black eyes look way scarier. Great stuff!
Im just atarting to paint my very first set and this video is on point thanks for the post
Thank you! Welcome to the hobby! Have fun painting up the minis, they are great fun to paint.
Great video,kept it simple with verbal instructions etc, just what I was looking for as a complete beginner. I will go ahead and purchase the set now. 👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad to have helped! Enjoy the set, and welcome to the hobby.
@@DrunkOnTeaUK 👍🙂
Excellent video! I’ve only got into Warhammer since lockdown and still learning a lot. For a small channel this video is excellent. Subscribed to you mate 🙌
Thank you very much! Hopefully, there will be many more good videos to come!
This was a fantastic tutorial! Definitely need to practice my brush control to get the edge highlighting right (and on my patience to spend more time tidying up next time), but your technique for the makeshift shade definitely helped make up for my lack of experience/skill!
Thank you!
Practice really is the key. You'll quickly pick up muscle memory with a brush, and the edge highlights become a lot easier and more even.
Shades (even makeshift ones) really do make painting so much easier. There is a reason people call nuln oil "talent in a bottle"
I mean like. Wow.
I bought this set and finished my first model, using this tutorial. Thank you. It was super helpful. I cannot wait to finish my first space marine (which just needs highlights) following your other tutorial.
I'm so glad I could help! I hope you've enjoyed painting your first models! If ever you are thinking of expanding your collection and getting some other models you want some ideas for how to paint, let me know!
I bought a Leviathan box yesterday. Maybe a few different colour combo's of termagaunt would be nice. But other than that, I'm just enjoying your spacemarine videos and learning to paint (with my starter kit).
And thank you, for being so helpful.
@@no-one3181 Thank you for watching and enjoying the videos! It's always nice to hear how they have helped people
Very nice job using limited colors!
Thank you! The limited colours wasn't too bad, the worst thing was only using a starter brush. It's quite hard to edge highlight using such a chunky brush
@DrunkOnTeaUK Now I want to try painting one with that brush 😆
@MrWizzard001 do it! They come in most starter paint sets, or if you ask in a GW store they will probably just give you one as the starter brushes aren't for sale
@@DrunkOnTeaUK I need another 10 Termagants and one more ripper, so I will buy that new interductory set. I will let you know when I do.
@@The_WarL0rd_Way please do let me know how you get on.
I love this video, I want one of this start sets, I just wanna know what other paints do you recoment for the tyranids, thanks you.
For the Tyrandis, I would recommend Warpfiend grey for highlighting the chitin, carrabourg crimson shade paint for the allover wash for the body (It's much easier than making your own every time) and if you want the traditional Tyranid look I would also get Mephiston red for painting the gun and claws instead of using the blue
Since I didn't buy a Spray Can to prime my mini (I didn't see a point in spending £15 just for a single model since I don't even know if I'll be painting more) I decided to follow yours and the GW guide on on basing with a brush. Followed both videos making sure to water down the paint, got 5 minutes into priming it, hated it so washed off the paint and I've given up trying to paint miniatures
I'm sorry to hear that! Priming is the worst part of painting miniatures. I completely get why you wouldn't want to get a can of primer if you are new to the hobby. Once the undercoat is down, the rest of the process is a lot more enjoyable. Hopefully, one day you'll decide to give it another go.
Very nice tutorial. Definitely subbing for more. Have you done a Hive Fleet Kraken with only paints from the starter set?
Thank you! I haven't done Hive Fleet Kraken yet. You would need to add a red to the colours in the starter set for Kraken. Pretty much swap out the purple for red on all the carapace, and it will be pretty close to Kraken. I have been doing a series where I paint different models with only 5 paints, I've done Space Marines, eventually I'll get around to painting all the Hive Fleets with just 5 paints as well.
I'm painting the Leviathan box next week.
Nice! There are some really nice minis in there
Great video! Just bought my starter kit today. And this video was incredibly helpful. Got your self a new sub right here mate. Are you going to do one on Space Marines as well?
Cheers mate! I am planning of doing a video for how to paint the Space Marines as Salamanders. But I could also do one for how to paint them using just the starter set colours.
@@DrunkOnTeaUK Nice. Sorry i forgot too specify tho. I meant to say Ultra Marines.
I can do an Ultramarine video, I've painted up a lot of Ultramarines over the years so I should be able to give a beginner tutorial. Would you like just the 5 starter paints, or using a few more paints?
@@DrunkOnTeaUK Some more would be Nice. The colors i have are Leadbelcher, bugmans glow, Balthasar gold, Armageddon dust, Magos purple, Mephisto red, agarax earthshade, thunderhawk blue. And the for base colors you used in the Tyrranid video.
No worries! When I'm back from my holiday I should be able to get one painted up. You probably won't need to pick up too many more colours either.
I wasn't going to paint the Tyranids I get in the starter set but I think I've changed my mind
The Tyranids are fun to paint, I'm sure you'll have a good time with them!
What base coat should I start with if I wanted to paint my marines as Raven Guard? Basically if I wanted them black? I'm mentioning Space marines because you did such a good job with this 'nid model
Thank you! If you only have the colours in this set. It would have to be Abaddon Black and edge highlight with a mix of black and Wraithbone. But if you have a few more colours, Corvus Black is really good for black power armour. You can use Abaddon Black in all the recesses, and I would highlight with Mechanicus Standard Grey and then Dawnstone.
@@DrunkOnTeaUK thank you! Hope I didn't inconvenience you
Not at all! Any time
Can you do one like this but for every leviathan box model? I’m real poor after buying it and I got no paints and no idea of what to do, it’s my first ever box and I don’t want to ruin it. Plz help.
I've made a video for how to paint the Space Marines using the same starter set paints. With most of the models being very similar, you can easily copy the colours for skin and carapace (or power armour) over to every model in the box. But it wouldn't recommend trying to paint them all like this, you'll slowly go insane mixing colours for every model and it will take forever. I have a video on how to paint Tyrandis using a few more paints, that can easily be copied across all the models in Leviathan and would save you a lot of time and effort mixing highlight and shade colours.
Are you going to do the same with the marines?
I was going to paint up the Marines as Salamander, but if people want to see the Marines painted up with just the starter colours, I could paint one up in Ultramarine colours.
No primer? Whats the name of the 'plate' you are using to spread the color?
There isn't a primer in the starter set. Normally, I would recommend priming in white, but if you don't have any primer, you can just brush on a base paint, it just needs to fully dry before layers.
In this one I'm using a "pallette pad" by Games Workshop, its just sheets of gloss coated paper that you can use to thin and mix paints, but anything that's flat and non absorbant will work
Space Marine just 5 paints in introductory set box plzzzzz
I've started preparing for it today. If I can get it filmed, edited, and sorted in time, it will be this Saturdays video, if not, next week at the latest
@@DrunkOnTeaUK Wow I can't wait to see your vdo!
Very well done. But i feel sorry for every soul, that would paint 10 or 20 tyranids like this.
For everyone who is starting a tyranid army. Get a sprey or airbrush, because this bone color has very bad coverage.
I would never recommend anyone paint a whole army like this. I was just using the contents of the new starter set. Someone's first model when this is all they have, very quickly people build up their hobby equipment. I have a video showing how to paint up a Tyranid using a full range of colours and a spray primer to undercoat.
