    Bruh, how in the hell. I just decided to buy the leviathan box after 15 years of not having 40k. I had the 3rd edition codex as my introduction to 40k. I was going to paint my Tyranids in this theme. All I could find was a few paintings that someone posted on reddit as a guide. This is everything I needed. Thank you so so much.

    Being able to watch an Eavy Metal painter work in 4k in such a well-edited video is just incredible.... what a wonderful time to be painting. Your glazing and edge-highlighting are, of course, as good as it gets. It would be nice to see you use an airbrush more from time to time though; I think it speeds things up, and that the Eavy Metal team avoid the because GW don't sell airbrushes. An airbrush would take some of the transitions you achieved here and make them possible on an army-wide scale.

    • @user-ed1uc9ht2d
      @user-ed1uc9ht2d Před 3 měsíci

      Yeah there's a big issue with tutorials not showing things like paint consistency, choosing to use words to describe the correct consistency instead. It's really frustrating when you're just starting out and don't really know what you're doing, the issue with that as well is different paints have different consistencies so would need varying levels of watering down and new people to the hobby won't really know how to work with those paints

    Dang man... I was probably 6 years old when I saw this book. My family and I had no idea what Warhammer was at the time. We went to a restaurant and I was a classic 6 year old boy playing with my Star Wars Legos. The man at the register was probably 22 at the time, and he was very friendly. He reached across the counter and gave me a copy of this book!!!
    Yes kind of creepy but it changed my life forever seeing this these models. I took it home and was just awed at the beautiful art. I saw plastic minis that were cooler than my Legos. Massive battlefields of these aliens vs a squad of quite 'ugly' looking blue human soldiers 😅.
    Through the years I lost the book unfortunately between house-moves but almost every day I remembered that book and wanted it so badly. What was this strange world?
    Almost ten years later I went to the public library and found a strange book. It was a black warrior riding on a massive bike with guns and it was called "Ravenwing" and I instantly fell in love with the book. I got to the end of the book and found more plastic minis being sold by a company called Games Workshop...
    This hit very near and dear to my heart as it started my Warhammer journey. While I dont collect Tyranids yet, I would love to and this would be my color scheme. Thanks for representing such an epic piece of history...
