Monsters, swarms, and biomass

This project came about as a natural continuation of a previous project. The client already had a collection of Tyranids painted by our team, and their main goal was to expand the army while maintaining exactly the same visual identity.
The color scheme had to replicate the tones used previously, preserving both the color of the carapaces and the appearance of the skin. In addition, the client requested that several units be magnetized, especially those that were larger or would benefit from more convenient and secure transport.
The centerpiece of the project was Old One Eye, which would receive a Premium finish to stand out from the rest of the army. The rest of the creatures were painted to a Ornate level, aiming for a uniform and consistent finish.

The unstoppable advance of the Swarm Mind

We began with the assembly and magnetization tasks, preparing each unit before starting the painting process.
One of the main challenges was maintaining maximum fidelity to the original design. We spent time studying references, analyzing colors, and adjusting processes to reproduce the finishes as accurately as possible. The goal was for the new additions to blend naturally with the rest of the army.
The miniatures were painted one unit at a time to maintain internal consistency within each group and facilitate quality control throughout the process.
