'nids part 291 - Tyrannofex #Dreadtober week2

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been #paintingwarhammer Tyranid Tyrannofex for #DreadTober week 2. OK, I know we're onto week 3 now but it's challenging getting all this blogged up. So I'm onto the turquoise bits and I've got the legs and tail done.


This is the easy bit, it's the carapace, mainly the vents that get  wearisome as I'm fast remembering.


I really hate those vents, when I've got some of the paint left over I'm doing the no brainer items, like the top of the vents and ridges. All the other striations require some thought how the shapes fit together and interact with the shape of the part of the model they're on.


I also got some of the bone highlights finished on weapons too. It's easy to forget these need doing as well and they're big pieces too. They're bigger than Tyranid Warriors for example! 


I'm beginning to have doubts about completing the task now. I'm also a little distracted because I wanted to do something for the #PitOnParade community thing and it would have been nice to get my Servo Haulers done for my own #ArmiesOnParade but I don't think that's realistic in the remaining time.

      Thanks DOC, progress is progress! I've been far more productive on second highlights than I expected so a lot of my fears are easing now. I've also got a bit more time for the AoP bits as I thought it was early November, but it's the end of November. So pressure has been let off, goals are now real and achievable.

    I really do love your colour scheme and it is coming together nicely.

      Cheers Rory. It's weird looking at it next to my last Trygon its not as good. All the details is chunkier and not quite as tidy. But it's leaps ahead of my last Tervigon which was another level to my first. I'm OK with that though. It is what it is and 'done not perfect' is something I can live with.
