I don't even play Tyranids, but these guides are great.
I now have a stash of Tyranids waiting to benefit from what I’ve learned from you. Thank you for instructing us.
I keep cutting them wrong when i go for the ball junction. Nice tuto tho :D
If you find you have issues getting the angle right, a little bit of putty between the magnet and arm gives you some flexibility to reposition.
Wow, good to see you are still doing well! Your painting guides and modeling advice are therapeutic to listen to, and I have helped a friend assemble a "feral" tyranid kill team of all different NPS based color schemes. So may you always know you're putting a little bit of good into the world.
This is incredibly fitting for tyranids, being engineered for the scenario and all
Your videos are top quality. Super informative and excellently shot. It is greatly appreciated.
this guide has been a huge help for both my carnifex's and my land Hive tyrant. still need to pull off the 2 handed weapons for them all but that will come later
I might plan to do this with my larger Tyranids.
How small do you assemble with magnets vs simply glue them? Is it only for models which have multiple weapons/poses?
I was expecting at the end of the video for catgut to whisper Bedtime Story lol
This looks like a horrible pain in the butt where a lot can go wrong in the end. I wish GW would develop models that support magnetization in the first place
Heck yes
the timing on this is hilarious because I just finished putting together my first magnetized tyranid, a Tyrannofex. Problem is the forelegs can’t hold magnets because they’re spindly little bastards. might opt for just setting down some styrofoam on the base with a slot for them to hold onto.
Do you magnetize your bases or do you just prep the base before you attach the model? I’ve seen both done before by different folks
great stuff for any army!
How did you turn the tail?? Hairdryer to heat it up ??
How would you do this if its already built?
When you're magnetizing that strangle thorn Canon, why do you have to magnetized the ammo tube bit? Why don't you just save the time and glue it in permanently?
You absolutely can, and that's what I did on my FW Hive Tyrant's Venom Cannon, but in general I prefer to set up my parts so that I don't have to bend them to attach or detach them.
@@CatgutPainting wow that was a fast reply, thanks
This was super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to explain it well, I used a similar method for my new Carnifex.
Hey man love your videos and your paint scheme is sooo sick. Do you ever plan on making battle reports? Would love to see your armies in action.
No solid plans but it's definitely not out of the question. I'd need to make sure I have a good way to record- preferably without annoying my friends/usual opponents too much.
You inspired me to magnetize my army, thank you.
Always great to see more of these vids!
Amazing tutorial, just wondering how more tricky models like the tervingon or the wing hive tirant could be approached 🤔
the winged hive tyrant is fairly easy. Do the same as in this video with one slight difference: magnetize the wings first and use them to guide/push in the magnets on the torso. That way you'll get a good fit and make sure they're touching when attaching the wings.
One word of note: use the largest and strongest magnets you can as the wings like to droop if you don't. I learned the hard way and had to drill a small hole in the torso and the wing just behind here the magnet sits so that I could fix in a piece of paperclip to solve the problem.
Well what to say ? Excelent video, everything is explained and I feel like I learnt quite a lot so that's perfect. Now I can finally buy the carnifex box(es) I want and not feel cheated that I can't change it after gluing. Thanks a lot !
@CatgutPainting, sorry to contact you here about your Stalker LR-300 build but I couldnt find a contact email....how did you manage to mount the SUSAT onto the LR-300's Picatinny Rail?
Man I love you.
I am planning to start painting and playing Warhammer, do you need to build every single piece? How do you get the battlefields and the monster/army pieces? What paint should I use? I have cought my eye on the creatures and army’s I want, so I just want to know the rest
The first time i saw your Nids i thougt they where German, this looks very similar to the German Pea Dot Autum scheme. A fantastic job the look great.
A note about the cock up with the front double handed guns, if you make sure they fit on the front properly, they'll likely fit the hive tyrant properly too. It's what I did and it means they're universal, rather than fitting just either the fexes or the tyrants.
ive had some success with using steel ball barrings on certain parts that need to shift if they get rearranged (like the end of the tube that connects the left arm to the gun on the right. sadly it doesnt work on the shoulder; the magnets in the socket still hold the arm to the body but they very easily droop the arm downward.
Very good guide. Thanks for that!
Can you do a video on your wash mixture?
This video saved me. You are a god.
Its.... beautiful!
Professor catgut, answer a a question for a humble student:
What are some good size magnets to keep around that will work for most army's needs?
I just use the ones in the video: 3x1mm, 3x2mm, and 5x2mm. The 3x2s are the ones that see the most use, with 3x2s for when I can't drill deep enough for them, and I go up to 5x2s whenever they'll fit. I have some 2x1s as well, but haven't found a use case for them as they're not very strong and I don't generally magnetize really tiny stuff.
When you talk about friction, this might be a really stupid question but do you paint over the magnet or just on the putty ?
I paint the whole thing, so that includes the magnet. It's the paint between the magnets, giving them a rough surface, that helps.
Oh holy messiah of tyranids, hear my prayers. The 5x2mm magnets are good for weapons but what about the hive tyrant wings? Should 2 5x2mm magnets work?
I've seen people embed a second magnet in the carapace of the Tyrant, so each wing attaches with one magnet in the arm socket and another magnet to the carapace. The way I did it on mine (an old resin Tyrant, to be clear) was one magnet in the arm socket plus a steel pin that fits into a slot I made in the torso. The pin provides all the structural support and then the magnet just holds it together.
@@CatgutPainting Thank you very much.
Hey man, how are you doing? Not sure if you'll get this message, but you haven't posted anything in quite some time, so i and some friends were wondering if you were gonna continue with the channel. i certainly hope so, as your videos are top-notch, but considering the amount of time since your last upload (this one, I believe), we weren't so sure. Hopefully all is well in your life, given the current situation we all find ourselves in, and you're just on a little hiatus. If so, great- and we'll be looking forward to future posts; but if not- well, good luck to you, and thanks for all that you contributed to the good hobby of painting miniatures. Take care, and have a good day.
Funny timing! I just wrapped up a batch of minis that took WAY longer than anticipated to finish, so I have plans for another Tyranid tutorial that I hope to have uploaded sometime in the next few weeks. I'm not done with the channel by any means, just not keen on churning out content for the sake of algorithms. I try to only share techniques I have ironed out and feel confident in, so that might mean an irregular upload schedule, but rest assured more is coming.
@@CatgutPainting Oh, right on, and good to hear. Glad you're not shutting up shop- I really look forward to your uploads. it seems like most people post videos just for the sake of getting content out, so I can appreciate you not wanting to go that route. Looking forward to your new stuff, though. Thanks for the reply, and again, have a good one.
These videos are a godsend! I apologize if this has already been answered, do you have a specific brand of magnets/drill bits you use? Definitely gonna follow this guide for my army!
Not for magnets; I generally see what I can find on eBay. For bits, really anything will work since it's only going up against plastic. You can get away with cheap no-name brands that would just break if used in a drill press on metal.
@@CatgutPainting appreciate it, thank you!
Absolutely love the scheme! It's inspired me to collect Tyranids myself! Quick question about the bases, you have wooden planks and a wooden boat in some of the other tutorials, do you make these from green stuff or do you buy them? Also, I noticed you have clear spaces on the boat base for the feet of the model, do you test glue it down and pull it up or just leave an approximate space around where the feet are gonna go? Thanks for all the great tutorials!
The wooden planks are popsicle sticks cut in half lengthwise, and the boat was a resin cast I got from a model train scenery company (in general, that's a good sort of place to look for basing material- those guys really put us wargamers to shame). Normally I just pin the models to an already finished base, but for the Hierodule I figured it should look like it's sinking down into the sand. So what I did was when I went to base the model, I put the model on the base, and slopped the glue across the feet. This left two foot-shaped voids on the base where the sand wouldn't stick because there was no glue, and then I just washed the glue off the Hierodule's feet before it had a chance to dry.
@@CatgutPainting Amazing, thank you so much for the reply!
I'm sure this comment will be too late, but how do you go about painting the wings with the paint style?
No worries, you're not the first to ask. I treat them like the fleshy areas (so wash Red Tone, then the two layers of all-over wash), but paint in veins of VMC Brown Rose before applying any of the washes. This is the result: i.imgur.com/f77lxYi.jpg
@@CatgutPainting Wow, thank you for the reply! Absolutely love your paint schemes and I really appreciate the response!!
I have one more question that is probably a long shot but I wanna try asking. I recently saw this video ruclips.net/video/r5m9nEHk3QM/видео.html and thought it was a really neat color scheme but I would love to apply your patterning to it. Do you think it would be too difficult or do you think it’s possible and how would you swap colors/washs?
I may be a few months late, but if I were to do the coconut crab scheme but with black or a dark gray as the skin area, and red, purple, or white as the pattern on top what color should the primer be?
Because the scheme is wash-based, it is necessary to start with a color around what you want the lightest highlight to be. So if you want black/grey for the skin, you'd want to start with a medium grey. Grey primer is pretty common, and then you can paint the exact shade you want to start with over top.
@@CatgutPainting I’d also like to ask, would I still use the same type of wash as you did? Additionally, would I still use the dots on wings, or just paint them solid colors?
@@Kodaiva I'd use a black wash rather than the bone one. You need a dark wash to get dark colors. And for the wings, there are a couple of ways you could handle them. You could do dots, or just treat them like the fleshy areas, or add some extra detail like veins.
@@CatgutPainting thanks for the help! Your coconut crab scheme is absolutely beautiful, and I hope I can do it justice with my first army! I almost forgot, what type/brand of putty would you recommend that could be used to make the wing structure, and what technique would I use to attach them? (Using a pin glued into both sides, sculpting them directly onto the model, etc.)
What type of puddy do you use?
For this kind of work, Kneadatite, also known as Green Stuff. For sculpting, I mix it 50/50 with Milliput to make it a little harder and easier to sand.
@@CatgutPainting cool, thanks, I wanna use it to magnetize a tyrannofex to tervigon when I get one
Tail tip!
Place the magnet on the bottom of the tail, now you can still use the no tail option without seeing a magnet
