Our Complete Painting Guide for 40k Tyranids

[@justmakesstuff]

The world needs more Murray doing Murray things videos. I immmediately loved the tone and editing of this video. Light, quick to the point, clean. Really enjoyable!

[@TabletopTime]

Thanks! We've been revamping how we make videos here in the last few weeks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@jajsem1109]

Does anyone else appreciate, how Murray is allways smiling?

[@Ben-fk9ey]

Murray always brings the good vibes, he's like the Bob Ross of miniature painting.

[@jajsem1109]

@@Ben-fk9ey Yes! So true :)

[@timmystwin]

Not even in a creepy way either. Just gives off constant good chill vibes

[@BentoMakes]

He's a happy boi

[@mateuszdabrowski7078]

Ayyyyy yus he does

[@Antheraws]

The Jade adds a subtle contrast to the Red. Beautiful. Love it.

[@Wolfineer_]

Painting storytime with Murray on a cold wet evening is so cozy :3

[@alin-mihai]

The little nyd popping up going "uuh" while Muray was saying his tyranids were just emerging from ice really got me :D

[@turnipslop3822]

Love it, would love to see you Kitbash a hero character for this army too as that would be really interesting. There's so many videos on kitbashing space marines, but very few for xenos factions and I loved the Tau videos. I'm imagining some kind of Blue Terror emerging from the ground (a homage to the Red Terror from the old 3rd edition codex), but anything you create would be sick. Great video Murray!

[@entirelyemz]

I absolutely love this style of video, for me its much more engaging. Also love Murray's style when painting it looks great on those models :)

[@cakalafatides]

I can’t put into words how good looking this scheme is. It just makes my brain happy when I look at it.

[@raviahmad9903]

Oh I love Murray's painting videos! They're super approachable but also there's always something to learn.

[@timmystwin]

This is such a well flowing, well edited, engaging video.

[@GarethMcGilvray]

The new more recent content has been such a huge step up in quality, love love love it, great work team!

[@TheCloneLord]

Starship troopers intro was brilliant,I love them little 80's/90's drop ins 😂😂

[@KulturaRaztura]

Great explanations for Drybrushing and Overbrushing @5:00 thank you!

[@steve_blake]

Funniest video I've seen on this channel. The Starship Troopers homage was great. "Bloody propaganda!" XD

[@jessicahawkins669]

Yessssss! Let’s do this! Great Devourer all the way! These little bugs were amazing to watch come to life, Murray. I love your Hive Fleet. Can’t wait to see them in action, and maybe some day play against you.

[@rmurphy3574]

That paint scheme is fkn awesome, the jade green really pops!

[@ShallowVA]

I've been painting my genestealers with pretty much the exact opposite colors, bone bodies and blue carapace. Might try introducing a little more reddish orange into the blue, I like the contrast is gives here!

[@wyvern876]

Hell yeah, more tyranids! I love watching you guys slowly build up and customize your armies, and the painting tutorial/process videos, so please keep em coming!

[@TalaiRain]

I love Murray's very painterly almost comic book painting style. (also, his crazy faces.)

[@GrayderFox]

Ah, feedback! This was a fun video. :3 Fascinating to see this kind of technique. They really do pop! Love the color scheme. Would be down for more content like this.

[@kate_c_]

I am loving the revamped videos that Tabletop Time have been producing! The final shots are so crispy and nice to look at, and I love the amount of fun and silliness the videos have as well! Plus OMG Murray these Tyranids look amazing! I loved seeing the more in-depth look at your process :D Already looking forward to your next video, amazing job everyone! 🤩😍

[@Brissebrajan]

Not sold on the scheme, there is too much going on, but then again I kinda love it, so great painting, love to see a whole tyranid army painted up with this scheme. =)

[@kamikazebadger2686]

That was a good tutorial. I appreciated you going into the colour theory aspect. More of these please. Great job Murray.

[@artycharr]

Big murray, energy, its whats needed midway through the week! Great tutorial and tips on the overpainting!

[@IFofPlanetune]

These poses are so dynamic, with the cel-style painting they just look so epic, I really love these so much despite not being particularly a fan of bugs 💕

[@Zeldur]

I really enjoyed the new take on the style of the video. Just a hair different while still feeling like TTT

[@yesmilord2350]

Your channel is awesome. I only just found it a couple of months ago. It's been really fun going through your catalog of vids. The quality of them is really good too.

[@B1ackSwordVids]

Gotta love the energy Murray has in all these videos! Rock on, Murray! Rock on!

[@benjamin2629]

If I had Tyranids I would be happy to use this scheme, looks great. Only bit of criticism is it feel like it needs a quick pin wash to define the detals, but that is very much in the eye of the beholder. Great vid Murray.

[@peterheinzo515]

last steps: gloss varnish, oil wash, wipe away, matt varnish

[@dallonrobbins5078]

Ah yes color theory, something that surprisingly is uncommon knowledge. You started to hint at other things besides complementary colors. Good work. And I love the story behind the paint job, and how you have slowly started to harness color theory to help convey that story

[@ClarissaMeyer]

I love the energy of this video, and the colors! So fun to watch.

[@leeperry7068]

I feel like this would be an awesome leaping off point for an all over final subtle oil paint wash to tie it all together well. Great video!

[@russellrains8422]

We need more Murray from TtT...lol. love his recording style and 1:40 almost made me spit out my drink from laughing! Thank you.

[@TheLuckycooper]

Really enjoyed this video. Good tip about the colour wheel, it should help me in my painting woes!

[@Magicguy33]

Honestly love the closeup painting and Murray’s painting style!

[@cbpainter1632]

These remind me of the old Lego Ice Planet sets from the 90s. Cool video as usual

[@smks432]

Love this format of video. Nice work Murray

[@jackcapybara9335]

This is awesome! Murray really makes you wonder how the heck something is gonna look and my goodness the reveal is so satisfying 😅 he explains it like it's this easy thing (which it may very well be for other people) but man is it impressive

[@theChistu]

Inspiring! Love the way you did the posing and the highlights on the VRLs; definitely going to try this workflow on them when I get to that part of the box!

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Man, I love the Jotunn scheme. You even made me like the Leapers models.

[@joshmarshall9614]

I love this style of video! Could you also make a guide on how to fix your mistakes? We all make mistakes on our miniatures and some are harder to course correct than others. Thanks!

[@procrastianArt]

These Nids look fantastic! Nice job Murray!

[@tomaskolarik6114]

I love your funny personality and video style. More of you, please.

[@marasmusine]

My paint scheme is Tamiya field grey for flesh with a blue glaze / morghast bone and wraithbone for carapace with skeleton horde in the cracks / Tongues and squishy bits I use some very old citadel paints: Emerald Green and Scorpion Green / brains and eyes are contrast magenta with gloss varnish. 9:57 yeeah nice black trim

[@shlomogoldstein3373]

Came out super unique. I havent heard of Viejo paints before

[@iain.sm.c]

This is why Murray is my favourite TTT presenter.

[@xcomeruinx]

starship troopers skit was great, keep up the great work!

[@eastoforion]

these are incredible murray, great work as always!

[@MarvelousNut]

Loved the Starship Troopers inspired video in this video

[@dylaren]

ALWAYS showing up for more Starship Troopers references!

[@WhoHasMySoap]

Really enjoy ypur newer type of videos, keep it up!

[@BucketPls]

Videos like this make me really curious to see what can be done with just the Tyranids intro kit they sell. Seeing someone paint the minis in that pack in a couple different ways, one with just items in the box, one with some rather low cost products (think of glue, primer, brushes, etc) and one going all out with whatever paint and material that you can get your hands on to make it look as good as possible. Would be a neat video to see the difference certain purchases would make, if the intro kit does enough for a new person of the hobby to succeed in learning the basics and getting that sweet sweet dopamine finishing your work, and just really curious to see little tips and tricks that are good to learn from the start to make the most out of the little you have!

[@BrucieBonus]

I love Starship Troopers.......MEDIC!!!!!

[@jondelman983]

Definitely a Kiptoe color scheme. Looks amazing

[@AzraelThanatos]

I've got a relatively small number of 'nids that I painted a long while ago...I kind of went an entirely different direction for their colors with a combo of a a metallic and glossy variety of off blacks with different colors, that I matched up to some neon work in them that was heavily based on the old Kenner Alien toys. The different colors worked as unit designators while the similarities blended them into one cohesive group. Unfortunately, I used up the end of the neon set that I'd been using and couldn't find anyplace that had continued to stock it...and since have forgotten what company made them. They were great for a one easy coat for the type of work done there

[@AddamsFactory69]

Fantastic scheme and approach, more painting videos please! ⚡⚡⚡

[@crowythebutcher6127]

I really enjoy that colour scheme

[@CameronPenner]

Those minis look incredible! Now I want some tyranids DX

[@karlnygren]

I really like the nod to ninjon!

[@ImSarahNow]

Murray!! You killed it!!

[@OneTrueFinn]

Love the starship trooper bit

[@ElEnanoAr]

That Starship Troopers nod... cool.

[@Born_Stellar]

I have an airbush setup, but priming and doing all the base coats is a bore and since you are spraying so much I have to wear a mask. I think I will try your spray can method to get all that work done so much faster, then I can enjoy the rest of the painting!

[@roryhatfield6696]

Great painting scheme

[@armoredjoey]

Maury please make your own channel. You deserve your own channel.

[@ch4p85]

Love this paint scheme. I played Tyranids in 3rd/4th edition and I hated it. (they really sucked back then) The new Levaithan box has inspired me to give Tyranids a try again and this paint scheme has reminded me that Tyranids are just a joy to paint. I find it slightly more enjoyable than painting static coloured marines. Gonna paint my new Tyranids with similar blue tones to bone coloured carapace to these ones.

[@dragusflaveir4945]

I love that they're pulling a starship troopers reference 🤣🤣

[@Philbrush]

Nicely done!

[@dosquats]

Great job great attitude stay fresh

[@hgeruhgeg]

Starship Troopers reference is great 👍

[@DrDunce-wj8ke]

murray is so happy what a guy

[@Rakatan384]

That Screamer Killer reminds me of a Zora from the original Zelda games. I can just see it popping out of the water and shooting a fireball at Link😂

[@koridoragon6394]

the y'he have developed! this video is lovely!

[@tomacc9859]

Really, the starship trooper reference. How many of the younger newer hobbyists will actually get that. We don't get dope films like those movies anymore.😢.

[@ewanthompson3602]

"Whos a good little nerogaunt. Yes you are" Murray

[@LizardofDoom]

Amazing Murranids ❤

[@lohengrin9127]

This gives me subnautica vibes, and now I have a great idea on how to paint my nids

[@tompugh5227]

Love love love a Murray episode

[@HamDerSvinet]

That intro! More of that👍🏼

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I wanna see some brown tyranids with green camo carapace on heavy planted bases fighting catachans on heavy planted bases with 2 killteam boards…. Heavy planted 👌😉🥰👊🍻

[@robertreyes6959]

I liked just because of the Starship Troopers reference

[@jasoncarter3182]

I do hope one day we get to see a bio titan in the jotunn paint scheme

[@Daedricbob]

For some reason the Screamer Killer reminds me of Krusty the Clown. Well executed paint job though 👍

[@neil2242]

Someone finally made the leapers leaping... A July Christmas it is indeed....😅

[@duckyempire7]

Let go new table top time vid

[@Hadorus1]

The starship troops part!!!

[@CommanderFire-z1b]

you should make some cadians or kreigers that have a space bears theme but bear cubs or something

[@Harv0206]

brilliant video

[@tristram4711]

loved it murray, sometimes i feel like a detailed tutorial on just the murray method would be great

[@flipsix3]

Loved the look on the smaller guys, in the previous vid, and it looks just as good here. Q: you’re just hitting one side/angle with the red spray, right?

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

I still think a bio-titan would be perfect for your hive fleet, Murray! You have to have a giant unit for a fleet named "Jötunn" (At least in my opinion)

[@jamescrawford8538]

I am going to paint these soon

[@dannyKurt]

Awesome stuff 👍🏻

[@vengeancegauloise6049]

Hive Fleet Jotunn should be made canon, they look soooo so good

[@FrederikEngelmand]

hmmmm i like the GW scheme more. sometimes simpler is better, but the techniques used are top notch and can be used with any color scheme :)

[@jamescrawford8538]

Lol starship troopers reference love it

[@alphaxgaming6879]

The "i'm doing my part" is the highlight of the video aha, still a great video tho xD

[@BryanExplainsItAll7]

i love murrays mini... i want to paint mini's but i am afraid. i had surgery and left with my right arm did not work. i have to work one handed. any tips and tricks? i would love a video on one handed mini painting tutorials.

[@blu3smoke27]

Has anyone got any recommendations on how to tackle wings with this scheme? IE gargoyles and deathleapers cape.

[@davidjohnson9521]

Would be good to see some kit bashing if you guys are into that

[@davidjohnson9521]

A prize? What kind of prize and how would I receive it? Thank you 😀
