Thank you! Purple is such a fun color to work with. The newer models have such great detail on the carapace. I tried a few different approaches but found just a simple bright grey dry brush always ended up looking better than anything else I tried.

To shreds you say…

Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I was kinda just working with the paints I had on hand so ended up base coating with a slightly warm brown, valejo natural wood or something like that. Then I just added a little white at a time up to something flesh like. For the actual painting, I really tried to bring up the raised areas with the lighter shades while leaving the dark in the contours. I I used wyldwood contrast from citadel (a dark brown) like a wash around the eyes and cleaned things up with my previously mixed skin tone. The eyes wasn’t anything fancy, an off white, black and a steady hand. Getting the pupils lined up took a few tries, and I got them close but they are definitely not the same size on both. Fine enough on a table, but noticeable up close.

My Tyranids are purple, but gaunts are a pretty good way to practise anything organic/flesh and even with the different colours, the principles were all the same.

Looks like an osprey!

Those look amazing! Love the patterning you went for and man, that red really pops.

you are doing nothing wrong. To my knowledge, there is no effective firewall app for android that doesn’t occupy the VPN connection. From my understanding, you either have a VPN or a firewall. I have found no work around for both that was effective.

Wow, your basing is fantastic! How did you do all those cool plants?
