Tyranid Raveners

As promised, here are some first detailed unit pic of my Hive Fleet Juggernaut: The Ravener unit. They are the latest models I painted for my Tyranid army (which is a while ago;-)). And funnily I can not remember that I ever used them in any game... ;-)

I tried to do a not-too-dark color scheme. At the same time it should have been a little realistic and bug-like. Of course heavily inspired by Starship Troopers (have to see this "classic" again...;-)). The most important color is the old Green Ink from GW, a really it gives the carapace its really intense look...

For the raveners, I tried to catch their speed and aggresivity...

Cheers

Daemonette 309

And here she is. Painting during one weekend. First mini with Jar's techniques, and easily the best, I have done so far. Credit for the eyes goes to Jar himself. Many thanks again!

Daemonette 309 - Jar's painting class for beginners...

Hiho,

last weekend I had an awesome time at "Jar's painting class for beginners" in Hannover. It was my first time ever at such a workshop in my dozen years of painting experience, and I learned a lot a lot! And while it was very intense it was always kind of relaxed and a lot of fun too! Really recommendable!

However, it is not a secret that since some time, the first miniature too paint at this worksop is a deamonette. The cool thing: One gets (apart from colors and paint brush) basically everything you need to build the mini including a complete designed cabinet base. But of course you  do everything yourself, so here are the wip pics of the weekend:

These are the parts for the daemonette...

 And here she assembled

 And the finished assembled base, a sci-fi trash pile. What else should I have done? I love rust!

Mini on its base ready to be base coated...

base-coated first with black and then with white from the upper angles

 Time to start painting... This time a new style, just explained from Jar:

And this is how my wet palette looked like after this layer

 Time to think, about the color scheme for the mini itself... Luckily, Roman aka Jar brought quite some inspiration... :-) The "women" on the left gave me my inspiration, just saw it and new I had to try something like that. I am talking just the colors of course!!! ;-)

 Here we go...

And now the details...

How she looks finished, I will show you next time! ;-)
