'nids part 341 - Parasite of Mortrex and Zoanthrope - Basecoats and washes

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my #Tyranid Parasite of Mortrex. Previously it had just had its first bone areas painted.


But you can see I've also added in the Bahama Blue chitin and then done the sepia wash and black claws - pretty standard really.



Darker wash on the chitin, then first and second highlights on the bone areas.


I also added some red wash on the stone outcrop to bring some depth back into it.


Striations to do next but I need to think over how I approach the wings. 


And also I need to do some acid green on the talons and tail poison sack. I'm also a little disappointed there isn't a Ripper on the base somewhere. I think it deserves one at least, but it's a little late now.



While I was doing the Parasite I thought I'd bring my first Zoanthrope up to today's standard.


Of course that meant painting over the existing striations on the chitin - a bold move with no going back after the Bahama Blue hit.


All the washes and bone highlights, a bit more red on the fleshy bits too.


Now it's time for the striations and decide on the colour glow for the brain. I think it'll be blue this time, each one has a different colour so far.


One is green, the other is yellow/orange and this could be blue.
