Adeptus Tyranicus 002

The second post for my Tyranid army is just a progress picture of what I'm working on now. My Hive Tyrant, Beast 01. I am happy with how the cables turned out and how well the head came out in general. I decided to highlight up further than I normally do. I get a lot of comments about not adding enough highlights to my models. I prefer to paint them that way because to me it looks more realistic, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I think it's coming out pretty well so far. I've also been told repeatedly that my pictures are too dark so I've made an effort to not darken them down anymore.

  1. That looks great!

    I was of the same opinion as you about edge highlighting but after my visit to Warhammer HQ I was a complete convert.

    Those extra edge highlights definitely add something to that model.

    1. Thank you. The few times I've done edge highlights like this have been very successful so I think I'll keep it up too.

  2. That is, hands down, the best model I've seen you do. The blending in much smoother and the extra highlights add a lot of interest. I especially love the reds, but really all of it is great!

    1. Thank you very much. That means a lot. I will do all the army's highlights like this. I just need to work on the black a little more. They don't transit as well as the rest of the highlights do.
