Hey. So finished my first tyranid. Let me know what you think. Sorry about no basing, haven't figured that part out yet.

This looks awesome, keep going with this color.

The skin could do with some shading, but the shell is very well done.

Really nice job! Like the armour.

Lookin studly.

I really like it, the colors work really well, a full army of this quality would be very impressive on the battle field

its not a 'shell' nor 'armour'

ITS A CARAPACE!

Hive Fleet Kraken FTW! Very nice painting, but if it isn't based it goes into standard Painting and Modelling.

Either way, the bony plates along the back and head are well done.

Hey guys thanks for all the positive feedback! I got to admit I pretty much jacked this color scheme from GW's site, color for color.

I think I'm going to go with this as the main theme for the army. I'll post this squad of twelve when its done.

@blapblapblap- Yea your right sorry bout that. Anyone got good basing ideas? I like that glue/super glue idea floating around in the tut section, just don't know what colors to use after that.

Very nice!

You've put a lot more effort in than I ever do.

A wash or Quickshade would help add some contrast to the skin without needing a lot of work.

Hey so here's a basing idea for the army, was thinking like a purple alien color.

I think the main body could do with an ink wash and highlight though it may be that the camera just hasn't picked it up well.

The CARAPACE is great. nice colour.

Looks great!

Love the base. If all the models ar painted this nicly, your army will be awsom!

He seriously looks amazing, i love the colour scheme...

That is a sexy Gant!

Love the color scheme.

Really does look amazing!! Cant wait to see the rest of the army painted and based! =]

Great work. I have but a single complaint; the blue parts on the arms look a little bit messy.

EDIT: Actually, forget that. It looks like you cleaned it up in the last picture.

Looks great, cant wait to see the whole army. I love the little contrasting blue.

Hey so this is only a small update but I got two more gaunts done in the last week. The horde multiplies! (I'll try and wait longer between future updates.)

Looking very nice, I really like the base.

I wish dakka had a like button! Looks really good.
