Space Hulk Genestealers
When you are going to get a box with different #Tyranids or Genestealer Cults you can be sure there should be some Genestealers within. After painting 20 of them in #Leviathan color theme, myself decided to switch for some Space Hulk specific theme. So this four Genestealers where more for testing, than painting more Tyranids. After finishing these unit I notice that it got a leak of highlights. Also the basing is still missing. Maybe we should repeat this test nowadays and also take some work to the bases.
Spawn of Cryptus
A Broodlord from high fleet Leviathan, also called Spawn of Cryptus. Still remembering the modeling process. Getting these model on his fancy base take many tries, during these also the tongue broke into two pieces. In the end the tongue ended up really downside, related to the original position. At least it does not harm the model and looks really well. During the painting process the arms were painted separately and glue together afterwards. Like all other Tyranids the base from Spawn of Cryptus still needs some work.
The Children of Cryptus
The Children of Cryptus consist out of many many Genestealers from high fleet Leviathan. Related to the fact that these are one of my early units, a lot of disadvantageous during the modeling and painting process were made. Every single piece of these unit were painted in fully sub-assemblies. Paint was taken directly out of the pot thought the models. Shading in most of the cases were applied fully over the whole models. Nevertheless the highlights were made with a detail brush. Also the bases need some work, maybe they will get some rework in the future with the other Tyranids models from high fleet Leviathan.
