Here goes the third batch of my genestealers from the 2014 Space Hulk box. I almost gave up painting those three dude, having a forced stop in the hobby. Thankfully, i past over it and slowly try to retake an habbit to paint. One brushstoke at a time.

Someone once asked why i had painted them with such a colorful scheme instead of the usual white-ish and purple one in the box.

Well. First of all, i don't really like the classic colour scheme, the one from the Leviathan Hive. And by lore, space hulks are very very old space shipwrecks that xenos try to infest to go somewhere else, off the radar and without effort, letting warp-breach and drift do their thing. So for tyranids of a recent invasion, i feel it odd.

Second, i do really like the colour scheme of the Behemoth fleet, the very first tyranid invasion with red skin and dark-blue chitin. It also makes more sense for them to infest a space-hulk rather than Leviathan offspring, since they where here more or less 250 years before. A lot more time and opportunity to sneak into a wreck.

Finally, i did a kind of pinkish purple skin rather than a red one for aesthetic reasons. Blood angels are full red already so it would have been a bit redundant. And i don't really like to paint red much.

Why did i start painting those damn marines...

Brother Leon, Blood Angels 1st Company, Space Hulk box 2014

"Brother Leon doesn't say much, but his devastating assault cannon is eloquent enough for the both of them. For Leon, there's only one thing that matters in a battle : kill ratio. The more targets presented by the foe, the happier Leon is. When not fighting, Leon fastidiously maintains his weapons and armour, making small adjustments, adding his own litanies and benedictions to the machine spirits. This has caused some controversy with the Techmarines of the Chapter, who have repeatedly requested that Gideon bans Leon from the armoury when unaccompanied by one of ther order."

Soo many details on this minis, it's insane. And so much time spend on the nmm. It was hard, but i'm satisfied with the result. The rest of the squad will take some time to color, that's for sure.

I can only thank Poem, a french hobbyst, who helped me years ago to get my hands on this game.

Also... A funny coincidence. I blindly picked up one of the terminators to start painting everything in red. At the moment of writing the name on the shoulder, i realized it was Leon. The same name than my young nephew. I hope someday i will have the chance to play with him. And that the whole set will be painted by then.
