How to Paint a Custom Tyranid Hive Fleet: Hive Fleet Angrboda

[@dinosly2744]

The lore and paint scheme is awesome! I can totally see a Ragnarok-esque narrative battle set during the 4th tyrannic war with hive fleet angrboda either being found by the space wolves or taking the fight to the space wolves!

Love it! I was thinking the fleet might have been marooned on a jungle moon somewhere in space wolf space, and it was the humans living on the moon who applied their pseudo nurse mythology to the fleet.

"Pretty easy, right?" I'm glad contrast paints exist. 😅 Brilliant work.

[@ModernSynthesist]

It's just paint by numbers! Dead easy!

[@tylerblevins4083]

The aversion to painting inspiring such a lovely scheme is perfect! Also, really fun concept for your Hive Fleet as well. I think incorporating mythology is a great way to highlight those concepts and themes.

Thanks Tyler! I tend to be pretty contrarian, and coming up with my scheme based on not liking painting seems par for the course with that.

A really satisfying watch, loved all the tips, colour suggestions and lore you added in 😁

[@ModernSynthesist]

Thanks buddy! But not sure you need any tips from me!

[@martynjones3978]

As i said on Instagram your colour scheme is absolutely epic!! 😮 Hood to see how you use contrast paints 🤔😊

[@ModernSynthesist]

Thank you Martyn. Contrast is such a good tool for getting over an initial hump/challenge of getting started.

I've started with the 10th edition statter set and I'm using contrasts and Army painter speed paints for them and im loving the nids.

[@ModernSynthesist]

That's a fantastic way to start as the way Tyranids are sculpted is SUPER compatible with contrast ♥

[@lupisvolk2420]

@@ModernSynthesist Yes, I started with citidel contrast and didn't like how it looked and went onto using Army painter speed paints and they looked better. My choice of primer Grey Seer didn't help but wraithbone is looker to be a better pick. I aim to paint some Seraphon Saurus warriors in a week or two with a mix on contrast and citidel base paints.

Woah. That sounds like an awesome, wild scheme!
