Winged Tyranid Prime
I think the first thing I should mention is that my wife has only been painting miniatures for about as long as its taken to complete these Tyranids.
Screamer-Killer Carnifex
While I might have guided her on colours and techniques, I think its fair to say its her own talent that's produced this amazing finish.
Neurotyrant, Neuroloids and Von Ryan's Leapers
Obviously, having chosen Macragge as the landscape for my marines and the Ultramarines as the chapter, the Hive Fleet Behemoth colour-scheme was a no brainer.
Psychophage
I think she's used all Citadel Paints, contrasts for base painting, washes to add depth, and colours for highlighting - with maybe Vallejo for basics light white, etc.
Barbgaunts
Basing was the traditional black rimmed base with liberal use of Games Workshop's 'box'o'skulls' and various manufacturers' tuffs.
Termagants
This was to represent the mountainous, rocky north, where the Ultramarines had their last stand, and we tied in some base colouring with the marines I'd already finished.
Hormagaunts
I think there's a box of Hormagaunts in here from the Tyranid range as well, an addition which my wife graciously accepted into her painting queue - because they didn't come in the Leviathan box and I *really neeeeeded* them 😝
NeurogauntsI really do think she's done an amazing job with these Tyranids and I'm stoked that I have a completed army of them.
Ripper Swarms
I guess its up to me now to finish the Ultramarines from the Leviathan box, which is in the queue after I've completed my AWI collection.
