Tyranid Invasion: Inspired by Starship Troopers

Our path crossed when a brave commander. With an already impressive army, decided to expand his ranks with the formidable miniatures of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, “Leviathan”. But this strategist was not only looking to increase his military power, he was also eager to bring to life a new Tyranid army, with otherworldly creatures ready to devour the galaxy.
The client, knowing Art-W Studio’s expertise, trusted us to assemble, paint and create the bases that would make these miniatures stand out on the battlefield. With a clear vision, he requested a color scheme that reflected the alien essence of the Tyranids. He spared no detail, asking that each miniature be set in a desert wasteland, with rising rocks reminiscent of the valleys of the Grand Canyon.
This was not a simple request; it was a challenge we were eager to accept. With the client’s vision as our guide, we dove into the task of bringing their vision to life, taking the Leviathan narrative to new heights. The partnership between the client and Art-W Studio was sealed, kicking off a project that promised not only to expand an army, but also to tell a visual story.

Extraterrestrial Challenge, the Tyranid Plague

Every day, our skilled hands worked to bring the client’s vision to life. In the initial stage, the assembly of the miniatures was a meticulous ritual, where the Tyranids figures took shape in skilled hands.
The transformation came with the Tyranids, when we decided to give the color scheme a vibrant twist. After a successful sample with the termagant, the client’s approval gave us the green light to dive into a fascinating world of fluorescent greens. Each miniature became a work of art, resonating with the alien essence you longed for.
The process was not just a technical execution; it was a dynamic collaboration. Adam and Dani, our featured artists, led the devouring xenos front. From the Howling Assassin to the Psychophage, every brushstroke was an act of magic. The final touch of fluorescent green elevated the majesty of these creatures to new heights.
The daily photos, were more than just updates. Each image told a story, from the first strokes to the application of OSL effects that enhanced the dark scheme. Each preview was a promise of the final grandeur.
