Splinter Fleet Genisis : warrior complete

[Major Chrispy]

Hi this is my first fully painted model so far.

This is my warrior.

First off I'd like to say that I really like the base. The water effect is a very nice touch. I'm not a fan of overly flashy color schemes so I like the idea you're going for. However, the "skin" looks a little bland to me. I'd suggest drybrushing some a lighter brown over it. Not as light as the carapace though. Also, make the carapace more defined.

MOAR CARAPACE DETAIL!!!!

Carapaces are my favourite part of the Tyranids, and I love adding feathering and such to them. Your's look plain....

I can show you how to do some pretty cool feathering that I really like

[mchgnfan]

I love the look, not so much the yellow eyes though. Thins has some potential. and as stated above, it seems sort of plain.

[swarmy]

I'd push the some highlights on the carapace and some highlights on the skin brighter. The color choice and basing is nice though! Looks like a partially digested planet theme.

This would work great for gaunts, since they are smaller but on larger creatures like Warriors and Carnifex, the Carapace needs more detail. More feathing or edge highliting. I actually like the Yellow eyes. I think it works well.

As for the skin, it seems a bit bland as was stated before. Needs some very light highlight and inside the ribs need something. Not sure a lighter colour or not. But good work.

Haha. I never double checked the pick but that was one of the earlier pic's, I do believe that is a WIP, as the skin is missing 2 of the highlights, and the sything arm is still just scorched brown.

About the carapace, the "dull" comment is actually what I was looking for.
Seeing as I was going for the "weathered bone" look, It was inentionally dull (granted its a bad angle, there is actually thin lines on the carapace.)

The whole "fancy armour" seemed a bit excessive to me, armour that is grown should be sturdy, not fancy. But these are just excuses I tell myself. Ty for the feed back, by tommorow the brood should be done and posted.

Scheme reminds me of skarner from League of Legends. I like.

[Hive Carnithrope]

For a first, that's pretty damn good!

The yellow and blue contrast nicely with the grey.

[Major Chrispy]

I've always thought that the armor should have fancy patterns, much the same as peacocks and other animals have fancy patterns and colors.

Yes, I know tyranids don't need to attract mates, but it's just an excuse to paint pretty designs
