Your tutorials are outstanding. They are very clear and I love the use of the paper plate to show us the viscosity and opacity of the paint. That is such an important characteristic to understand when using contrast paints. You really are a good art instructor…
Oooooh maaaaaan no I really wanna do a duel diorama between a Grey Knight or the Adeptus Custodes Blade Champion 😆 Thanks for watching and for the idea!
these new tyranid models, are so good for "one coat" style paints like contrast paints, vallejo express, army painter, etc. i used them to paint up my own homebrew hivefleet, and man ,this scheme really proves my theory that GW intended these tyranid models specifically for contrast paints. amazing scheme. :)
These were not the paints I was expecting from the thumbnail. I still haven't decided how to paint my tyranids from the starter box, but this is absolutely a contender. Great job!
Dont know how i missed this video, I eas waiting for it! When i first saw the stills of this miniature i was enthralled and then I wanted to know how you created this amazing paint scheme. Thanks for this (and all your videos!) Ill definitely be modifying my own scheme using some of your techniques 🖌️🖌️🖌️
Excellent work, Darcy! I rather like the color scheme you came up with for this nasty space critter, if ever I get some Tyranid figures, this is the look I'll aim for and it's not red!
I'll put it on the list! In the mean time, I can just tell you. Drybrush a bright silver over a dark grey primer, using a round tipped dry brush (smudge brushes and small eyeshadow brushes are idea. Video example: ruclips.net/video/vMP4qpInpRc/видео.html) Once it's dry, apply a glaze of Kroxigor Scales. It gives a perfect metallic teal. Then repeat the process, sparingly drybrush highlight and apply a layer of Aethermatic Blue (may take a couple of coats depending on how bright teal you want the highlights. But Kroxigor Scales Contrast over silver does most of the heavy lifting.
Great vid darcy, really like that colour palette and the first time I've seen someone paint something from that particular film franchise and 80's classic. What brushes do you use for your contrast? Synthetics?
Yep, just synthetics from Michael's. It's their nicer ones that hold a point longer (they're really inexpensive for how good they are). They're called Artist Loft Vienna. www.michaels.com/product/golden-taklon-short-handle-round-brush-by-artists-loft-vienna-10014564
Creamy blends, I have always wanted a cool sea creature water color blotchy effect on hides, skin ect.. and now i have to try that out. Brains look gross TY
Great idea with the sponge patterning. Definitely going to try that out, thanks
Carapace first to make fixing mistakes easy is very smart. Great scheme.
Great colour scheme. If I had not invented Hive Fleet Albino and painted a shitload of Tyranids already, I would easily call this here my favourite.

👍👍 I love it and thank you for showing your process! I hope your opponent brings their Vorpal Sword, they're gonna need it 😃

Love it, great ideas! You demonstrate the techniques very clearly, thank you for the super video
Whoop whoop! It’s a Darcy video 🎉🎉🎉
Great job Darcy - Peachy
Cool tutorial.
While I am not "Tyranid guy" or "contrast guy" I appreciate your content. Great job!
this turned out amazing

Beautiful work, as always!
This looks great! 🤘🤘
I couldn't wait to see this after you had teased the NeuLic a couple of weeks ago. Awesome looks, thank you so much 😀

Very cool paint scheme.

Hey thanks Max! Yeah I can't wait to paint the new Lictor based Tyranids Combat patrol in this scheme 😈. And hope to see you at Adepticon next week!
Ugh, I love this.
Amazing, thank you!
Very nice.
Great job
Hey, do you think you could do a video on how to paint Alpha legion. or does anyone know dome good guides on how to do it

😂 can't take the fleet serious with that name. Looks great though!
Thank you! It's one of my favorite poems 😄. Figured "the jaws that bite, the claws that catch" line would be fitting for Tyranids.
Darcy may I ask what is the tyranid model you paint in this video?
It's a Neurolictor.
