It’s Aurélie, I’m back with two Tyranid beasts from my latest commission, a Carnifex and a Trygon, painted with an intriguing colour shifting effect. Check out more pictures after the jump.
I got the colour shifting paint from a local craft store. It’s also known as “flip effect paint”, “flip flop paint”, or “chameleon paint”. I applied the paint with an airbrush in about three thin layers over a black basecoat.
If you can’t source the paint locally, GreenStuffWorld also offers a range of “colorshift” acrylic paints, specifically made for tabletop and scale models. I haven’t tried them yet though.
Have you experimented with colour shifting paints yet? How do you like the effect on my Tyranids? Leave your reaction or comment below!

That's really cool, and something I haven't seen before in miniatures! Reminds me of some real beetle shells I've seen.
Will the Trygon be getting a base? And I think the Carnifex's base could use some additional detail, compared to the model it looks a bit unfinished.
whoah!
