Having fun, painting Hormagaunts

[roystencrow]

New to the game and finally started painting my swarm. Some things worked, some things didn't (definitely not a pro at this) but they came out nicely.

Painting Hormagaunts

[tyranique]

I like your paint scheme but how about keeping one thread per hive fleet? ^^ easier to track and avoids unecessary single threads.
I feel like some green on the carapace could add but I'm not sure. You should try doing something (maybe circles?).

It took a long time for me liking painting homogaunts. Now I love it. Step by step, hive fleet leviathan. My way, I leave the guns white and bone red.

Bleach bone everywhere. Red wash cwribu Crimson. Drybrush everything wych flesh.

Any talon, teath, sword do red contrast paint. (This used to be many steps.) Highlight with an orange of your choise.

Lastly carapace: Dark purple. Wash with black. Feather light purple near the edge. Lastly feather some grey streaks with a purple grey. These last feathers represents worn ridges in the carapace.

Last, paint the eyes yellow. Easy peacy.

It tokk me a long time to nail this technique. Now it goes really fast. It lends itself well to batch painting. I love how the wyt h flesh drybrush brings out the model. I also love the festering stepp. It is very satisfying. The red part is a bit boring. But the first and last step is really satisfying with this teqnique.
