wookie, we aren't too differant, you and i.
what i mean is, we both collect tyranids, which mean we both paint tyranids. for an affective tyranid swarm, you need bugs, lots and lots of bugs. bugs are small, and always crawl away, so for that reason we use gaunts, there's also a lot of those. if you were to wet blend each and every highlight on each and every gaunt, it would drive you mad, so dry-brushing is the only ay to make a nid swarm look good while keeping you're sanity. see what i mean? drybrushing always has it's place, but it's home is each and every hive fleet... except the ones where ink has taken over, but many hive fleets use both, meaning there is still a lot of drybrushing. so, as most nid players know, drybrushing is the only way(other than inking), and must be used if you want to keep you're sanity... i'll stop rambling now...
