Hive Fleet Gengar: Army Showcase and Lore - Warhammer 40k
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- This video is a showcase for my Tyranid Army, Hive Fleet Gengar. Yes, named after the Pokemon of the same name. While there are thematic nods to the namesake, the goal behind the positioning of the army is to have it sit tastefully, in the Warhammer 40k universe, something which I hope comes across in the video.
As it relates to army showcase videos. I wanted to try something a little different, a Thematic Army Showcase of sorts. The idea being showcasing the units of the army, keeping them front and center, while sharing the lore for my homebrew Tyranid Faction. It showcases the various tyranid units for warhammer 40,000 including several conversions which include Gengar's Maleceptor, Tervigon and Tyrannofex (conversion breakdowns are on the way😉).

The idea of a Pokemon becoming known as some horrific mythic creature to the Imperium tens of thousands of years later is hilarious, and fitting for 40k. Great color scheme, too.
Makes me think of other Pokemon inspired hive fleets, prehaps hive fleet agron, a metal eating necron attacking fleet that prioritizes heavy armor and burrowing (it then uses said metals to enhance the durability of thier exoskeleton)
I adore your bugs so much. They're my favourite faction in 40k, so seeing them treated with so much love by a hobbyist brings me so much inspiration and joy. Thank you!
A hive fleet based of my favourite Pokémon, given a smashin' colour scheme and some good lore for adedd flavour. Awesome!
Why stop thier, metagross or magnazone inspired necrons that proitize psychic abilities or electromagnetism
Mightyena orks that that love nothing more than using thier teeth too fight
Space marines who fight like savage water dragons based of garados yet have a great respect for those who don’t give up
Exodite eldar that draw strength from moon and sun thus find balance when using martial and psychic abilities
I'd really love a part 2 of this focused on the conversion work. That (what I assume to be) Tervigon is astonishing.
It's in the works!✊
This is really cool!!
The scheme is fantastic, and it’s loaded with good 40k world building and Easter eggs in equal measure. The sibling theory is really clever.
Also, a ghost Pokémon inspired hive fleet focusing on fighting what are basically enemy psychic types, and dealing super effective damage to psykers, is hilarious.
Hehehe. Glad to hear someone's noticed all the easter eggs/references. 👻
@@WhatThe40kso what about a hive fleet that’s based around fighting/hunting other demons?
Anti khorn water fleet?
This was a really cool armie! Love the lore and conversions. Really nice paint scheme!
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video😊
Spoopy hive fleet is spoopy! Homebrewing lore for armies always feels like an under appreciated part of the hobby and I love this, especially coming from an in universe perspective.
one of the greatest hobby motivations
Thank you, glad my content can provide that☺️
Maaannnn the spore idea is so cooolllll
Thank you so much for this. Gives even more weight to the color scheme. My son absolutely loves this scheme.
Wonderful! Always happy to hear the content is appreciated!😊
this is a super cool army, love the design and conversions and the lore is awesome
😲 That paint job and those custom models look really good (that's the coolest looking Tyranid paint job I've seen). 🤔😃👍
Dood, this video is so damn good. Like wow, what an awesome way to show off your army. Your work is so cool, so glad I found your channel finally a while back lol
Thank you! I am happy to hear the video is being received as intended!😂
I adore this video so much. I only recently really jumped into the army building part of the hobby thanks to a lucky find at a local going out of business sale. I got a large smattering of AoS and 40k pieces for fairly cheap, but as I built test models the Tyranids really stood out as my favorite. So thanks to your video I have started building developing lore of my fleet as I build then, making the process so much more enjoyable, and trying to figure out ways to explain how some of my kitbashes might function within the fleet.
That's great! Always happy to hear if my content can help fuel hobby effort!😊
A suitably detailed video for such a brilliantly constructed army. Excellent work bud, your nids among the best I've seen and I admire the care and thought you've put into them!
Love the way you've done this !!!
Greetings Gengar from Hive Fleet Revenant happy hunting!
Love your nids they look terrific as well as some really badass conversions in there. That was some really cool lore on your hive fleet I’d be down for hearing of their further exploits in a similar lore style you’ve got a real talent for it!
Thank you kindly, fellow Hive Mind resident!
Absolutely awesome.
I really love that paint scheme!
Currently working on my own hive fleet, hive fleet freza
I love this! So amazingly great!
Great lore and photography!
Thank you! I appreciate it immensely 🍻
Dude you do everything big time!
Extraordinarily beautiful. Well made.
Thank you very much!
I really love your custom lore faction of your Tyranids, good sir. It was quite inspiring to see!
Many thanks for posting this! ^_^
I really really liked this style of videos and I hope you have more in the works👍
Man those nids look fantastic. Great video!
This was amazing 10/10
I like the purple shade, more sinister and mysterious
As a Tyranid player myself I really appreciate this video 🤘🏻
Thank you.
I love that paint scheme! And these videos!!
Lovely army! Also, damn good presentation!
I love it,very cool idea
Thank you! 😊
Adored this. You've clearly put a lot of love into this Fleet. Would love to see more of 'em, and heck, more like this if you got it.
They look gorgeous!
beautiful creatures
Very nice lore and script. Makes it seem like it's an official subfleet ;)
Glorious.
Nice look!
Thank you!!
I'm a ghost type player and I want that so bad.
Absolutely amazing work there chap! Really nicely painted nids too, unique scheme!
Would really love to know actually how you did the pallid weapons and teeth and such? Somewhat hard to decipher through the visual filters on the video, but it's very cool.
Thank you! I have a video detailing the paint scheme for Hive Fleet Gengar on my channel.
Gengar being my favorite Pokemon and new edition new army, I'm getting the Tyranids. I will have an extension of Hive Fleet Gengar, probably a bit lighter color. Cheers.
Oh man I'm honored Hive mind domination ftw 🧠⚡
Very fun
This is really cool I have made my own lore for my tau sept but it’s nothing near this I really like the Colours of your hive fleet as well the black with the purple looks incredible. It’s very different to my tau that are orange white and black
I have totally copied your color scheme for my tyranids army, to a lesser mastery level but I love the result. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh man that is awesome, I am honoured ☺️.
Cool !
This is amazing brother. I am sure to copy your Tervigon design with other 3d printed spider parts. Hopefully Ill manage to make a video like this if only for my own delight when I finally finish it.
That's awesome!
I like it. I subscribed. 👍
Thanks for the sub!
not too familiar with nid lore but your army really should be canon, amazing work!
dope
God dammit how the fuck did I miss this on release day!?
(consumes lore like a Tyranid drinking a planet dry)
Cool color scheme and great lore. I find lore helps an army's look really gel. How did you craft your lightning effects?
Freehand with reference is the key. The pattern was created with a pale version of the desired color, then refined with brighter layers, eventually going to a near white. Then the patterns were tinted with a diluted glaze of that color.
Say, you wouldn't happen to have a link to a blank version of that Chapter sheet you showed off at 3:50 would you? I could really use something like that for my homebrewed Fist Successor.
IIRC, Warhammer community released a blank one.You should be able to find it using some google-fu.
Well purposed lore and a great color scheme. How did you get the swords like that? I’ve yet to see a sword tutorial on painting lighting that doesn’t just vaguely amount to ‘paint lighting by just painting lighting’
Hehe, that's probably how I would describe the process too😂. Other than shape value matters, using the right brightness towards the center of the pattern. Also you want a darker surface so it pops
The only xeno race I love are the Orks . But this has piqued my interest..... Might make a killteam in the spirit of this.
If so, I'd be honoured😊. Spread the mutation through the hive mind.
Are you gonna do something similar for your Space Marine Chapter?
That's the plan, as to when there's some backlog I gotta take care of first 😬
At 4:06. What model is that? A conversion? I couldn't find anything that looks like that! 3d printed? Thank you
It's a 3D printed carnifex, sculpted by Butov who you can find in 3D cults.
Wait, HFG is your HF? wow
Indeed it is!!!
What arms are on that hive tyrant? O.o
They are 3d printed, all from the same kit. Edit: well barring the kitbashed greenstuff parts 😅
Beautiful bugs you have there
Thank you kindly☺️
MAKE A BIO TITAN😂🎉🎉🎉
Paint list please
Hey there, I have a video in my hobby playlist which goes through the Hive Fleet Gengar paint scheme. I believe it should provide what you're after.
