You can try to use spangles to make carapaces to look more interesting. Metallic paints don’t give us the right glare and painting sun reflections is a really hard artistic work. I found that using spangles may really help with a painting schemes like yours.Erlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093689673521332325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-42309020641995298992011-07-28T01:22:10.437-04:002011-07-28T01:22:10.437-04:00It's interesting that you can use cheaper pain...It's interesting that you can use cheaper paints and get such a good finish. The overall effect is great when you see the whole army together.<br /><br />I think that's the knack with Tyranids, finding a relatively quick and effective scheme that lets you complete large units before you get bored of them! I use army painter dip to finish my bugs, but as long as I take time to do the base colours neatly and spend a few minutes per bug on the details, the mass effect of a board full of bugs works really well. Then the real time can go into converting the fun MCs with no models released yet...Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528108647208323456noreply@blogger.com
