Hey guys I've just started to paint my Forge World Trygon. Has Anyone painted one of these beasts, or have any tips on modeling them? I'm About 2 hours from finishing the first piece if him. I'll post a pic of it when I'm through

Argh... That head is chacing a gaunt!

Very nice though. I dont think Im known anyone who paints things before assembling them. Do alot of people do it this way?

Anyways the head looks great. I take it your putting on all of the little spines before painting them? Otherwise that would be an uber pain in the arse.

For some models it is better to paint the parts...then assemble....Tyranid models are a prime example of this. Marines and other models...I fully assemble before painting. The Trygon has too many "really tight spots" to fit a brush when assembled...to to get all the detail....paint first....assemble later....and yes I do put the spines on before I prime.....it is a pain...

When I do Gaunts/Genestealers I prime and paint them while they're on the sprues

I really like how you paint your carapice pieces, they look laquered somehow.

Man, I just can't get over the size of that head, I never really thought about what gargantuan meant until now.

Quick question: Does the Trygon normally not have eyes, or is it just your painting style to mask them?

oh yer*

i've heard that the release used on forge world resin mini's stays on them on the spruse, and that you should allways give them a bath in warm sopey water before starting to paint them. (i do that with all minis just to be sure)

paint them on the sprues hey? interesting idea. how do you stop it geting on the joints where it attaches to the main body?
