Behold the Maaaaaaaawwwwwwww fiend. No creature in the galaxy has as many tentacles and is as pink as he (apart from maybe some of those slaanesh freaks).

It is so pretty I have a tear in my eye. Thanks for sharing! I love all the tantacles. I have seen some of your stuff before do you have a group shot of all your painted Tyranids?

p.s. Slannesh him/hers self would be jealous of all that pink.

[eldargal]

Beautiful, really nice colours. Though all those tentacles make me feel uncomfortable.

Could you share the recipe for your pink?

[DrLove42]

The flying spaghetti monster has come!

Love the tail, dipping into the bright pink toxic ooze and re-emerging

:eek: Thats amazing, when I 1st saw it I thought the pic had some sort of "cell" effect. Thats the best pinkest thing I have ever seen and that includes Angel Delight.

[dethangel]

[SonicPara]

Wow I've never seen a painted miniature fully capture the "Cel-Shaded" art style seen in games/movies. It looks so good!

[Nard]

Thanks guys.

Yeah, take a look at this on page three. This is most of my stuff.

Alternatively you can find me in the gallery on Dakka Dakka. Search for ‘Nard Tyranids’.

Eldargal

The pink is warlock purple 1/3 skull white. I mix this colour into liche purple to get the fade.

Fuzzbuket

The shiny effect is GW water effect

[dark_phoenix]

Wow! That is pure awesome! I love the contrast between the grey chitin armour and the pink fleshy bits.

I think the cel shaded look sets it off perfectly and when I saw it I thought that it wouldn't look out of place in a universe like borderland (the cel shaded xbox 360 game for those who don't know).

If I had tyranids, I would love to grace the table with that thing!

How do you do your black lining? Do you use a pen or paint?

[Nard]

Lerra,

The black lines are the undercoat left visible.
