Hey I love your videos. What got me watching your channal was your how to play 9th. Are you gonna do one for 10th?

Number ten, glitter all the way!

That albino colour scheme looked great

I really like the blue lobster one, it seems weirdly calm for tyranids

Guy’s color blindness really showed with that leviathan nid haha. I absolutely love the retro and blue crab scheme though, great video as always!

[@CronosVids]

Indeed. I wondered why the colour transitions on the model were so harsh. I hadn’t even factored in the color blindness. They look way more blue than the “official” colour scheme.

[@thesophistichimp7425]

It actually looks like a really quick version of one of the new colour schemes they made for nids so it may not be leviathan but it’s a really nice scheme!

[@FlameThrowerDuck]

@@thesophistichimp7425 oh yeah it’s definitely a cool look, made me think of a berry themed nid or something lol

[@FlameThrowerDuck]

@@CronosVids yeah idrk exactly how colorblindness effects things like that, but it was a bit strange to see for the official Leviathan scheme.

[@tsoliot5913]

For anyone wondering, he has red-green color blindness, so he couldn't differentiate the green in Bria Queen Chill from red, making it seem like a diffuse, pale red for him.

[@walterburdzy5408]

I'm rarely of fan of the garish retro styles, but I gotta say something about those colors over the black wash really dried into something very impressive.

[@treebongos4765]

These are all so awesome but I think that the Albino one is my favorite, you don't really see tyranids in that sort of color and its a great contrast to what you usually see. To be fair though all of these are like that!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah, it'll stand out on the tabletop, that's for sure!

[@cortofredudu]

Totaly agree, albinos looks gréât!

[@bicskeiz]

One mor for the albinos!

[@UndercoverGodzilla]

Go Albino!

[@Vpkoivisto]

The albino scheme is my favourite, as well.

[@mrpizzacat8273]

Use the Worm one. It’s the most insane one in my opinion it’d be hilarious to see you guys trying to expand it into a whole force

[@SeanHoltzman]

I think that is my top, second is the albino love the brighter desaturated carapaces

[@mrpizzacat8273]

@@SeanHoltzman ​​⁠seeing as the MWM crew haven’t hearted my comment but one below mine recommending the albino scheme they’ll be going with that.

[@fishwithnoname4486]

would be an awesome trygon,mawloc, and ravener spam army

[@samfish2550]

​@@fishwithnoname4486you could also run ripper swarms since they have their little work tails.

[@TheSpectralFX]

The blue lobster scheme straight up looks like a new hive fleet.

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

The albino one or the xenomorph one are very nice!

[@Bluecho4]

Seconded on both.

[@steampaul3442]

mantis shrimp have some really nice colours that would look really striking for the tyranids. my favourite of these would be the clown/peacock/rainbow mantis shrimp, "Odontodactylus scyllarus." also, hatties glitter-nids are absolutely hilarious and definetly memorable

[@te9591]

There would be a lot of fluorescent green and red color fading transition washes on that, especially on the shell. Then, using edged highlights on the segments aspects of the legs to create painting technique contrast from the washed areas and allow the hard edges to read better than they do in the photo.

[@seanmalloy7249]

@CatgutPainting has a two-part video on painting Tyranids with a coconut crab-derived scheme that is another nature-derived pattern that works amazingly well.

[@panda77512]

for the xenomorph nids, you could add a bit of acidgreen/yellow to the weapon,eyes, and the inner bits on the fleshy bits to make it look like its got that stuff coursing through it

[@scottbeale1825]

The albino looks soooo cool

[@Ver.KazzyODST]

I reeeeaaaally dig the 2nd edition and the Leviathan color scheme, would love to see a table being flooded by these super colorful critters. I also think the albino 'nid color scheme would look AMAZING with the rocky bits of the worm Tyranid, kinda making it look like one of Dune's Sandworms!

[@LighDark216]

I believe the Death world jungle Tyranids Army would look absolutely fantastic and pop out strongly in any field, Amazing work and very helpful video!

[@michaelanderson2190]

Thank you so much for expanded xenomorph paintscheme! I’ve been using it on my genestealer broods and was wondering how I’d do it for my leviathan swarms

[@Yeoleyoda]

Loved the earthy one! Just the thought of that popping up and devouring a guardsmen is epic

[@casperpedersen223]

I loved Hatty's Blue Lobster and Albino schemes! Prefer the Earth worm look, but feel the retro look worked better than expected!

[@Reksrat]

These kinds of videos really reinforce the "trust the process" aspect of mini painting. Quite a few of these I wasn't on board with at all until they were totally finished. That said, the albinism Tyranids were by far my favorite

[@tomekk.1889]

Best minis are when both the process and the finished result look good 🙂 When you're in the middle of painting and it already looks great you just know the minis will turn out beautiful

[@thebardbardelli6515]

I remember the glittery tyranids all the way back to the beginning of the channel. It was good to feel such nostalgia

[@lokikinnaird2739]

GLITTER NIDS

[@Matkins85]

That technique you used on the 90s style one, where you prime white and then use black contrast, seems far superior to the slap-chop fad that almost everyone adopted in recent years. It achieves the same thing but is way quicker and looks loads smoother. I think its the nicest looking one in this video, and I swear that's not just my nostalgia talking (a swarm of 6 red termagants was the first ever Warhammer I owned).

[@anotherzingbo]

I use both, depending on how I want the final model to look. Basically, priming white and shading black produces a brighter finished model than priming black and drybrushing white, so if you want bright colours do the former and if you want a darker finish choose the latter. I also find that as new Nuln Oil over white doesn't stain the upper surfaces as much as old Nuln Oil did you can use that and not need to highlight back over it!

[@intzbk1]

That's what I do for contrast, white prime, either a black or brown dip wash (which Guy has a video on how to make), let it dry and then paint the contrast. I tried slap chop and it just took too long per model.

[@CronosVids]

Since you’re going to pick one as an in-house army. You should definitely go the retro inspired style. It’s striking and it connects to you way more than the others.

[@xenomorph1312]

this is convenient, i just got my Nids yesterday and was scared of painting all of those termagants, this will probably help them get finished faster

[@MidwinterMinis]

Hope this helps get 'em done!

[@JT-nr9vl]

Perfect timing! I just built my Tyranids from leviathan. Excited to try these out. I also just want to say thanks-your videos on blackstone got me to paint my first minis since high school in…2005 👴, and now mini painting’s become the first artistic outlet of my adult life. Cheers and keep up the great work!

[@intzbk1]

Same. I followed all Guy's turtorials for the Blackstone Fortress mins and they turned out awesome! I liked how Guy showed all of the basic concepts within those videos and it had me trying new methods of painting and got me back into the hobby.

[@te9591]

One Tyranid style I would love to see : Doing organic/skin toned/hairy Tyranids. Drawing on how Tyranids absorb bio mass, they are basically just repurposing the flesh they absorb to fit their designs. So I would love to see caucasian toned tyranids that have like a couple of moles on them, then put some hair fibers on their forearms, legs, armpits, maybe a little on the back etc. You might be able to get a fleshy stippled effect going to look softer than the shells tone? Then colorize the shell of the nid to look like human fingernails, fleshtone slightly different than the skin's paint, a couple edge highlights like the white tone of the nail or a subtle cuticle at the top of the shell, and then do like a double layer of gloss varnish only on the shell. Lastly, the Gaunt model could have its Nid face traded out for the front of a humans face and then let the alien parts of the head extend out the back unaltered. You could keep the upper scythes unaltered, but then have the little arms attached have human hands. You might even be able to have two hands cut and attached to form "two fingers" of the tip of the arm, etc. Like two human hands grown onto the Gaunt's limb. Picture the xenos biomass like a virus that just reuses and rewrites flesh to bug/lizard bits of the Tyranid.

[@Imbamorial]

The comment about Jurasic Park made me feel old lol- I remember walking in to my home town's games workshop vendor and getting blown away by all the minis. Personally I play Chaos SM but Tyranids have always been on my mind and I guess soon enough I'll have to dive in to that to. :) Keep up the good work!

[@171relic]

The albino one is my favorite. The lava ones, the 10th and the retro one are also fantastic

[@thehallway4228]

The Albino paint scheme is hands down the best in my humble opinion, they're all strong contenders, but that Albino look is just awesome.

[@jonathanjohnson6468]

I'm torn between retro, jurassic park, and glitter-nids. All of them are amazing. Great work!

[@nicman3110]

Albino-one was looking awesome!

[@earcrust]

The glitter nids are easily my favorite and would only look more impressive next to an entire army of the same scheme. Also I think the mantis shrimp could be a cool animal for inspiration

[@elyciacormier5235]

I really like them too. I think on the scale of the model in the video, a finer grit ot glitter would work better. That being said if you wanna get fancy using different sizes of glitter on the carapace plates for larger nids would be really cool.

[@euansmith3699]

That Albino scheme is especially cool; Hive Fleet Melniboné .

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

Love the albino nids

The Albino scheme looks sooo good

I honestly really love those earthworm ones the most. After seeing them all its gotta be earthworm jims

[@ricoqwertz123]

The Albino one is by far the best from all of them!!!

[@apathy_in_ut]

This is great I just got the leviathan box and I have been trying to figure out how I want to paint my nids.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Good luck getting through them!

[@ShadowCoH316]

I love the albino and blue lobster schemes!

[@sirmoth3955]

I love all these schemes. I don't have a whole force, but the one free termigant I got, I plan on painting like a green june beetle. Vallejo has a color shift metallic called "Dark Green Tin" that has the perfect shiny green-brown for the carapace. With a khaki underside, I think it'll look great!

[@HaechiYT]

Hatty's Albino scheme is legit awesome!

[@birdman2525]

Awesome ideas for nids from the leviathan lunch set they look awesome! The new leviathan ones are my favorite.

[@slushosaur]

Blue Lobster Nids look amazing!

[@davekavanagh7599]

I think the best thing you did in the business was get Hatty involved, she brings so much, and I've been absolutely loving the content ever since

[@ZombieRat8bit]

Hatty really knocking it out of the park in this video. The best scheme was the albino, but the blue lobster was great too.

[@Velvetplumthespacemarine]

It makes me so so angry to see ‘Nids painted like this! Because I hate Tyranids and now I want to paint them 😡 I personally can’t pick a favourite. How dare you both.

[@rylandvance5304]

The Xenomorph nid theme looks AMAZING!! I'd been searching for a manageable way to do that look with my skill level, and I think I'm gonna give that a go.

[@robertusbigus177]

Tbh the worm style looks so freakin cool

[@djpine6299]

Hmm- I do love the content. Your channel made painting seem accessible to me and kicked off my painting career. But I think this video was a little too messy? I'm not sure why. I feel like this video would work better if was just a TAD more complex. I loved your final Leviathan speed paint and the retro one. I feel the other colors didn't receive your equal attention and it shows. Still, though, thank you for the new content! I always look forward to your videos.

[@MidwinterMinis]

All the schemes are designed to be done FAST, perfection isn't the aim :)

[@noosebrother]

love the albino ones. and the worm ones for some reason. i dig the dirt. also, im stealing the ziptie for sci-fi ship base stuff idea.. that's amazeballs.

[@Zhoyzu]

that volcanic method is super weak. Its embarrassing to look at and its not even mine. Does the contrast paint really pull and do the striations itself?

[@wolfgangwanless]

Oh I love the albino one, I'm going to adopt just one of mine with that color scheme haha

[@deang8017]

Not gonna lie. I actively despise most of these. Blue Lobster is pretty good though.

[@Jess_is_Stress]

Albino-nids look absolutely grusome and amazing!!!

[@Ah_Dermot]

Mad, Hattie's 5 minis look waaayyy better compared to guys

[@apocalypserex]

I'm definitely using that glitter idea to create an army of Disconids!

[@MrH-GB]

Gotta be honest they look really rushed and just not very good, I get that you need to paint a lot of them but these are expensive models and you kinda ruined them. Not trying to hate, I usually love your content but this was a big miss IMO.

[@benjamin2629]

I agree, to me it had a big "we need to make 10" feel to it, when 4 good paint jobs would have sufficed.

[@MrH-GB]

@@benjamin2629 Hell I would have taken 1 - 3 decent schemes where they put some effort in. I was actually shocked at how badly these models were painted.

[@SJGvP]

Inspirational video. My top three is: 1. Albino - Striking, different color scheme and the application looks just right. Doesn't read like a speedpaint. 2. Death world - The contrasting colors and change in the silhouette makes this interesting. There is a lot of room for small variations. 3. Worms - The clever use of texture and gloss just works. The glitter Nid looks fun. But I think Guy's earlier approach looked better. The particles appeared to blend better with the model.

[@halfcrafted]

Really refreshing to see some different ideas that are (most importantly for 'nids) quick to do! Anyone ACTUALLY using these colour schemes to paint up battleline units for Tyranids will be saving a lot of time while ending up with some great looking units! Honestly I love all of Hatty's.

[@samneuman8481]

All of these were a ton of fun to see how they were accomplished! I gotta say though the albino scheme was my favorite! Wonderful work as always from both you and hatty!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

2nd, Death World and Glitter are my favourites. Awesome video. Really happy to see different paint schemes. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@salamanda550]

Honestly the Albino Tyranids are the nicest looking to me. Reckon it will also scale up really nicely into the bio artillery and thropes!

[@Bombadilo]

I layer of PVA glue underneath warmed up with a hairdryer makes mordant earth work soo good!

[@z0g975]

Lobster and Albino are great !

[@raelingarr]

That albino scheme is incredible! So many cool choices here!

[@thornback82]

Cult of Paint scheme is really amazing. I'll be trying it on my new models

[@gingerocw]

I like the albino one. It looks like it has shed its skin and is just left with muscle and bone. The worm one is also excellent. Great job Guy and Hatty!

[@leftboxanderson5361]

These were amazing. This was a lot of fun to watch. My personal favorite was always going to be the xenomorph inspired but i would love to see a whole army of Albinos. That scheme is sick

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Magnificent! Your first tyranid painting video was what drew my attention to the channel and the first painting guide I actually followed.. Excellent with even more tyranid inspiration here👍

[@Jormyyy]

Glitter 'Nids I could totally see them evolving to live on an industrial/ mining world that is absolutely bustling with gemstones, crystals, and jewels, instead of the usual practical metals and ores. Imagine a whole swarm of sparkly aliens spewing out from the already sparkly ground!

[@lummyal1]

This is my fave video from your channel. I didn't like all the paint schemes but I LOVED that you were so experimental. The albino one was IMHO the best one.

[@justinhernandez9615]

Hey quick question at 4:12 for the Xenomorph scheme when you paint over the Carapace what black did you use?

[@mzjalic324]

I quite like the albino one but ultimately the blue lobster one is my favourite. i think it felt the cleanest, especially on the carapace edges

[@JasoniusRexington]

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm a very novice painter and recently I'm getting into tyranids. I like basing but not painting models so the idea of using texture paint to give the model of 3d effect is absolutely stunning. You've opened my mind a bit on this concept. I will say my personal favorite of the ones you've displayed and I'm going to try painting up a few tests models, are the lava nids.

[@adamniko1209]

Awesome schemes! Not sure if it's a nostalgia thing but something about the 90s scheme just really made me smile, loved it!

[@serpentartist1348]

These are absolutely incredible. Loved the Nessa clips in the ad read

[@agentorangecb1]

Really nice suggestions. They're all cool! No 6 spoke to me. It is simple, subtle, natural looking and still brings out the best in a complex model

[@frankgarcia9350]

[@hydecleese8877]

The albino one is my favourite, and I think I'll use it for my own as I've been struggling to decide on a scheme. I also like the xenomorph and blue lobster ones a lot.
