Longest time I've spent on a mini so far, but oh so worth it.

Tyranid Barbgaunt, Hive Fleet Leviathan 22-Aug-2023

And that's one of each unit from the Leviathan box done! A good standard to paint the rest to :D

The Barbgaunt was really fun too. Had to paint the cannon twice, as I'd forgotten that I paint weapons red in this scheme, and I did the brain on the parasite twice to get more differentiation between it and the inner flesh. But I'm super happy with the patterning and the dribblys, had some comments that it's reminiscent of Alien Xenomorphs, which is cool af

So ...maybe a big bug next? Give myself a challenge? :o

Barbgaunts

Time for a bigger nid, I decided to grab one of the Barbgaunts since I really adore the way their big chitin looks.

Going for an ice theme!❄️

I love this little brainbug. Was very fun to spend some extra time on him, feels like you get two models for one thanks to him.

Onto the rest of the big guy!

Bring out the big gun!

On a side note, I am feeling pretty good about the color scheme for the skin I managed to figure out while trying out some ideas on some loose bits beforehand.
