Looking forward to watching this and the rest of the 10th edition uploads later. Great channel! Hope you have a good weekend fella 👍

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks Mitch👍🙂

[@wpeaston]

I really like the depth you go into with these tutorials. Great job!

Just got to drop a message here to thank you so much for this (and the tyranid prime) video. Ive been painting since the 90s and always painted the classic "base, wash, layer, highlight" way and ALWAYS struggled with anything that wasn't hard edge armour/tanks etc but after seeing this video and grabbing a bunch of the contrast paints and following along with this guide ive painted both the screamer killer and prime models in just a few 4 days and am so happy with the results! Your videos have unlocked a whole new way of painting for me that is both fun and really fast and really got me enthusiastic again about a new army! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

That is so cool to hear! Happy painting:) So happy to hear this:)

[@stemes2860]

Your models always stand out!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thank you🙂👍

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Stunning work ❤❤❤

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks Steve👍🙂

[@mrscotchguy]

The claw's colorfade is so well done, it looks so organic. Great job, liked and subbed!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. Hopefully it comes across as something that is quite easy to do. The contrasts blend really well🙂👍

[@Vostoceq]

@@StrikingScorpion82 As a fan of contrasts I really enjoyed this video. And as a future Leviathan owner this is what I needed. Great video

[@Terran0va_Plays]

By far the best color scheme I've ever seen. Sticks to the original color scheme but is more realistic. Less of the cartoony purple and white

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. Hopefully it is easy to follow and replicate 👍🙂

[@MrNickatron]

Im so excited to paint my leviathan nids now thanks to your tutorial! Got all the paints ready to go! Roll on Saturday!!

[@d1sturi3ed]

Your painting tutorials are always amazing! Would you please consider doing a Ultra Marines painting & basing tutorial using your techniques from the new Leviathan box set as somebody that loves the 40k lore but has not played before I feel like this 10th edition box set could be my way into this side of the hobby. Thank you for the great content.

[@Nerdypugminatures]

Always love your painting tutorial reason I started eldar all those years ago 😊 keep up the great work friend

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Cool to hear. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@dodge7729]

Great Video, I’ve been stuck on what scheme to paint my Nids with many tried and tested and losing heart with it and not liking the ideas I’ve come up with, so decided to stick to Leviathan because it’s my favourite out of the original 4/5 of GW’s styles, and this gives me great hope on painting 3000 pts + with your super speedy method, even mixed 8/1 ratio of the pink, in 2 100 ml dropper bottles, probably way to much than I need, but I find batch mixing a ratio to be consistent throughout the army, and less hit and miss with a brush.. Will speed up the process even quicker.. Thanks

[@StrikingScorpion82]

No problem👍🙂

[@nixxy1983]

Love this video, plan on basing my tyranids in a forest on a world they're just sinking their teeth into, mega jealous you've got this guy though haha

[@症不眠]

Absolute stellar work. I love the way you do your bases. Thanks for the videos!

[@jsauer30]

This w as super helpful for me! I've been struggling to get my shading right for my first test model and your technique worked great. Also really liked adding the more fleshy shade to the joints to break it up. Thanks a bunch!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Glad I could help!👍🙂

[@WinterWizard7]

Absolutely glorious!

[@TheLeonard16]

amazing, im gonna need you to do a tutorial for all the models in this box please. fantastic painting guide.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Another one live now for the Prime and may do another👍🙂

[@jakeofalco]

Perfect tutorial on painting the best nid hive fleet! Though I am sad GW has toned down the red on the scheme

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. I guess this tutorial can be adapted to include more red👍🙂

[@lukejones2731]

I like the tutorial for the tyranids, I'll definitely be using it for my army but this video could've really been shortened down and the basing kept for a separate tutorial.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

This is the full in depth video for the biggest model plus the basing. Shorter tutorial coming out for the Prime model very soon🙂👍

[@lukejones2731]

@@StrikingScorpion82 Good to know thank you. 👍

[@dr9683]

Are you doing a whole army of these in addition to your regular red colour scheme ?

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Yes planning to🙂👍

[@ikarian8318]

​@@StrikingScorpion82 Not knowing what Hive Fleet Leviathan strengths and traits will be, it could be difficult to choose units for it but maybe, an army of synapse creatures, like Warriors, lead by Alphas and a customized Tyrant with Guards?😅

[@StrikingScorpion82]

​@@ikarian8318 yep some of those kinda combos. Should make for some very interesting Army Development videos in the near future👍

[@RSB703]

looks great man. the 2nd coat of purple on chitin ended up looking almost black, is that just how it's coming through on the camera or is actually super dark/black in person? I like a more purple look so may go with the lighter purple if that's the case. thanks for the content!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

So yeah you may end up preferring the leviathan purple. Yes the shyish purple is dark enough. 👍🙂

[@007Berzerker]

Absolutely loved this video! Plus the others for this army…… are you going to do more videos on the other members of the army???

[@killerkriegsman85]

I'd still only use Superglue activator outside it's quite nasty stuff nearly as Bad as resin dust. Otherwise great tutorial nicely done.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Good tip thanks👍🙂

[@zacharytresidentdigimonenj3397]

Hey! Love this tutorial. Do you have any suggestions on painting hive fleet behemoth with contrast paint? I love the red you did for your other nids.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. Not sure on that one. I guess it could work with contrast...similar method. Perhaps search for contrast behemoth and see if anyone else has tried it👍🙂

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Screamer Killer "ME WANTUM BIG OLE TAIL!!!” 😢😢😢

[@primo40k]

What is the size of that screamer killers base?

[@lolmaorofl]

Enjoyed the video very much but feel the camera could be a lot more zoomed in to catch the details better

[@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475]

Coming back to this. Would you say using plastic surfaces for shades is better for painting than just your plane pallette? I ask since im currently painting my own Tyranids.

[@stompie51]

Inspired me to assemble mine at least

[@neilfagan1986]

What citadel colour would you say would be similar to the base?

[@4535jacks]

Have you found a decent GW or Vallejo match to the AP Leather Brown spray that can be applied by brush or through an airbrush?

[@Exochosen]

Hey I wondered if you could help me. I try to follow your guide, but after doing your 8:1 Contrast medium to Volupus Pink, instead of a wash, the contrast still seems rather thick

[@marka7759]

Heyo :) what varnish do u use for sealing?

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Gw munitorum spray varnish👍🙂

[@marka7759]

@@StrikingScorpion82 thx for letting me know :)

[@redgreen09]

well like the mini and yes all the sand and greavel you get free at your feet but if got to lokel train shop you find in big shaker platic boxes like kind you get in spice es thay come in wood land scenics brand thare might be other one shaket box will last long time and if get a emtay box you mack a mix of thows flocks and grass and got tunes of coloers to chews from to do your basses

[@malachy8174]

Why don't you just glue the rock and sand and let it like that ? Is that for esthetic or for some other reason ?

[@StrikingScorpion82]

You can do. I like the colours though when you follow the process🙂👍

[@malachy8174]

@@StrikingScorpion82 ok, thanks, I'll try it

[@stompie51]

Oh yeah.

[@Brissebrajan]

Sadly GW does no longer produce the flock. I have a flock that is very close to it, from Woodland scenics.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Ok. I guess then trying to find it on ebay second hand or new could still be an option. But yeah there are some very close matches out there👍🙂

[@nomis19821982]

you didn't paint it in your tyranid scheme hehehe

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Plan to run two tyranid armies🙂👍
