Broodlord painting?

[darkstar143]

So I was wondering what’s the correct way to paint a broodlord or genestealer because I’ve noticed that some models have the chitin on the back painted and than it stops at the torso so the “tail” is a different color. But anatomically wouldn’t the tail also be the same color as the back? And where they have the vents on the back some people don’t paint the gaps inbetween. Just tryna see if there is an official way to paint the whole model. I just don’t want to paint something that is flesh the same color as something that is chitin.

Paint them anyway you want but make sure to put overcoat on them, they're going to get dusty on the shelf...

Although with the new marine AOC buff, they might come back more

I think I had roughly the same approach as purestrain. I did the back as carapace color, the claws as bone, and the rest as skin.

However, paint them however you want. Fluff wise, any more differences are just the Tyranids evolving

I think I’m going to go with how the models are in the space hulk deathwing game. I saw a bunch of the model renderings in deviant art
