Patterned Tyranid Schemes Made Easy- NPS Method

Here’s the video you’ve been asking for, and which all my previous ones have been building up to: the logical process by which I devise patterned Tyranid schemes, using washes to drastically reduce the time requirements. I’ve had a number of questions about whether Contrast will work in lieu of the two-layers-of-diluted-wash technique I discuss here. The short answer is yes, you can use a single layer of Contrast, but I’ve found it doesn’t work /quite/ as well at getting the faux-highlighted effect. It’s up to you whether the time saved is worth it. For US viewers, be aware that you can get Army Painter washes on eBay for reasonable prices, if you don’t have a shop that sells them locally. And lastly: If you’re having trouble following along or just want to see an example of this technique put into practice from start to finish, I’ve already got a demonstration video in the works.
