Painting an entire TYRANID army in LESS than 24h?

[@SmugFrost]

SUCH A GORGEOUS COLOR SCHEME OF MY FAVORITE COLORS!!! may i use this color scheme for my tyranids?

[@ataraxiapainting]

Please do!!

[@gmsisd]

This video deserves so much more love than it has gotten!!! Watching you struggle through to complete your goal was rough to watch.... but the ending was beautiful! In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.... but allies and long lasting friendships can be found if you open your eyes.

[@conradbludau3736]

The video is 20 Hours old :'D

[@TylerProvick]

Use two brushes. One for applying paint. One damp to blend it out.

[@ataraxiapainting]

Oooh right!!! Cool! I knew you guys were smarter than me aHah

[@fredrik241]

Awesome looking army and great video! Very fun to see your struggle haha :) Would have like some more beauty shots of the army at the end! :)

[@ataraxiapainting]

Ahah its always fun to see people suffer 😈 and yea sorry about that but it was kinda hard to get good shots without an handheld stabilizer :(

[@fredrik241]

@ataraxiapainting You had great will power to push through with this project and get to the finish line!

[@broompatrol]

What a nice ending! It surprised me how good it looked after basing👏

[@ataraxiapainting]

Right?! It was like magic ahah

[@Bearcaved]

Loved this video. It’s exactly the story I needed today. Thank you for this. Well done!

[@surtrpicks]

And a gift…..bravo. Good $€!#

[@jonneff]

Hardcore... awesome! Very nice job the colors looked cool AF too!

[@PESKII]

I get so much from these videos, thanks for all the effort that goes into them. I struggle with the same things, im a night owl so find it difficult to get alot done when im working during the day. My painting always needs fixing, which makes finishing a model so difficult, and if I'm not happy, I can't paint the rest. My big takeaways from this are pre planning colours and thinking of the job as a whole, not as one model I have to get perfect before I move on. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool. Now I'm working on this box too. 🖌Out of curiosity, I will measure the painting time after this.

[@SavageBruski]

You gave da bestest gift! And they look great. Don't see Tiamat colors all that often!

[@nilvenet1346]

I love how the brown of the bases tied it alltogether!

[@johncolvin2754]

Still shocks me how much a base can transform the look of a model, well done they look great

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

I feel your pain, I just finished my Leviathan Tyranids myself. Of course, it took me 3 months lol. It did feel good to get it done! Great video! 24 hours though... it hurts me to the core to even think about. 😅

[@CCMinis]

Aye those turned out great, excellent video too!

[@roryhatfield6696]

Once again you surprise me with your amazing talent and love for the hobby. Great job 👏

[@RisingApe]

Nice! Love the editing on this one

[@ataraxiapainting]

Thanks mate!!

[@Elfeeta]

This was beautiful.

[@ataraxiapainting]

Ahah thanks!

[@TheMackMilla]

i bet you do it in 8 hours! love the videos! lol watching now to find out if im right.

[@crabc4ke]

You are an awesome person for that. Enjoy your trip and Good luck with Golden Demon.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I love your videos so much. You’re an amazing painter, and your personality and honesty are refreshing and raw. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@murphydaveelte]

They looked really awesome in the end - which tbh was a bit a surprise!

[@ataraxiapainting]

I’ll take it as a compliment 🤭

[@Dani-Now-AK47]

WOW! great colour scheme. I love it! May I ask, what colours did you use to get the purple look on the claws and which yellow you would recommend for the Barbgaunts?

[@an00bies]

First of all, I love you and I am glad to be able to call you my friend. We have been through so much shit together and we helped each other. A random guy buying a commission and a random painter painting my minis. I almost cried watching the video, I didn't because my black hollow heart does not allow me ;) I will proudly bring them to adepticon and will try to match it with the rest of my army haha Many thanks for the gift and many more thanks for being in my life. :*

[@ataraxiapainting]

Ahah you soulless fiend, my favorite soulless fiend 💓💓💓 we are lucky to have this friendship

[@KyleSchroeder-j3n]

Love this channel, good vibes your way!

[@sebastianwei7721]

Amazing! Insane, but amazing 😅

[@vorenusminiatures2747]

Great challenge and great work 👌Congrats 🎉

[@MartinPowderly]

Loved this.. Truly. As you say, connectedness. ☺

[@martinidamian]

Like and sub for the guiness alone. Vid was also great!

[@ataraxiapainting]

Yea but the canned one is kinda bad :( spilling thing is better! Ahah thanks!!

[@the_guitarcade]

It took me three months to paint the Tyranid half of the Leviathan box. They were such a nightmare to paint, but they look so awesome when done. Then again, Thousand Sons are my favorite army to paint, so there's something wrong with me.

[@TheOctabreaker]

maybe a stupid question, I'm just now starting to watch your videos, and I want to start painting soon. can you mix nuln oil with a colored paint to get the darkened effect in the parts you want to have a shadow?(the actual name I'm blanking because I've watched so many videos lol!), like you would a wash? I hope that made sense.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Aww no captions ! What about the hearing impared. Hopefully next time we can have it. You did a great job and you make great videos. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless you.

[@norske5000]

There are captations, at least for me.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

I have the captions now. I wonder what I did wrong to not see the option.@@norske5000

[@WordHammer40k]

Monumental task with epic results.

[@MrJameslupien]

You couldn't pay me enough to willingly sit down and paint an entire leviathan in a day. Screw that. Takes 2 weeks to paint a combat patrol box.

[@ApexBovine]

Holy moly you can paint a combat patrol box in 2 weeks? 0-0 man I’ve painted and stripped the same tactical squad for the last last 8 months trying to settle on something I like. Respect man, good on ya.

[@fide-zealamon]

Liked, commented, subscribed.

[@pst5345]

I do not get why ppl would treat this hobby like a race against time. This hobby more thn anything else teaches you patience. Patience and time are the most important part. There is no reason to squeeze an army paint job into a tight timeframe. You get better results when having no time limit or organize yourself to have enough time. Nobody except paid artists should ever risk getting frustrated stressed or attrition when following a hobby.

[@pst5345]

p.s.: If you want the easiest Tyranid army paint them like Giger Aliens. Black, off black edges/highlights. Glossy black carapace and beige joints. Metal teeth, hot glue strands for saliva, done.

[@ataraxiapainting]

Yea tbh I couldn’t agree more… tho there are some cases where I think it might be also interesting to give ourselves a timeframe. Why? Because otherwise we might get lost in way too many details and get frustrated still! Plus in our hobby we tend to accumulate way too much; its satisfying to see grey plastic acquire color! And this experience still managed to teach me a lot. Also, I was kinda forced to do this because of my friend and procrastination. But I’m sure anyone can find a better way to more equally devise the hours needed to accomplish this! Thanks for your input tho! I always like to take my time finishing the models I care about… but I also like to see full armies painted!

[@sludgedisciple]

Great work, Im late to the party. Subscribed!

[@richardbradley2335]

Your so lucky,,,other people have destroyed my hobby....i have huge 40k collection and i just want to bin it.

[@ataraxiapainting]

What happened?? 👿👿

[@richardbradley2335]

i got to the point this year i have finally had enough.. Having to rely on other people to enjoy my hobby was a big mistake. Just got tired of being messed around...even on purpose. tried solo 40k with a decent paper AI ,this kept my hobby going for a couple of years but the problem is i played 7th ed. I don't have the fortitude to read 8 codex's to play 10th...so im done. Love your vids and your quirky ways !!1...An air kiss from here in the UK !!!!

[@jerrumonline6705]

I find it amusing when these miniature painting influencers mention taking coke while painting, even if as a joke.. but take it from me, you are making your painting experience more difficult.. Uncontrollable shaking hands. Impatients for paint to dry. Focus fog, where you concentrate so hard everything merges. (And sometimes if you're really bang on it) hallucinogenic colour shifts. It may be funny to joke about, but its funnier seeing how much extra equipment and effort is required just to get a decent level of paint job 🙈

[@piotrjedras1627]

Respect! Wish i can meet you one day.

[@peterbacon50]

You look amazing love your work I have learnt a lot from your video's

[@PESKII]

And now I reached the end of the video I have to congratulate you on finishing. Good fuckin job, that was a crazy amount of painting and the end result was well worth it.

[@mikedelta5861]

Champion

[@hickdead6188]

That was metal. Now go look after yourself for a bit ❤

[@ataraxiapainting]

I’m not gonna open up the computer till next week ahah

[@JoshCarpetano]

Nobody gives me presents like this 😢

[@seileen1234]

We all know how exhausting is to have to make those "challenge" videos to retain engagement because youtube is trash. So here you have a sacrifice for the algorithm gods

[@ataraxiapainting]

Couldn’t agree more ahahah I had fun tho!! Thanks for the sacrifice to the algorithm gods, we’ll appreciated ✨

[@CassyCat4]

*Internal screaming*

[@Higzilla]

Why oh why? give yourself a week at least It can be done... but why?

[@kellykuciemba6789]

I guess no, not in 10 hours
