Just post one or two pics of your nid models. My humble contribution:

**FeindusMaximus**

Here is my old one before i sold it last year

**Norn King**

How could you sell them? All that effort

**Ratius**

:(
I hope you got what you wanted for it, it looks great from that pic.

**azazel the cat**

Fantastic job. But... "injector enema"?

**Norn King**

Anyone else got an army?

**Nard**

here is some of my stuff. Check out my gallery for more.

@ Nard:

I'm sure I've said this before, but your 'toon-shaded Tyranids are my favourite gallery. If I had enough money to make you a non-insulting offer, I would attempt to buy your painted army.

**NoBaconz4You**

No doubt that Nard is a talented painter, that exceeds my skills by miles, I just don't dig the shell-shaded Nids. Too many bright colours :S

I've since put most of my force in the stripping tub, as I forgot how I painted them originally 6 months ago, and the slightly different outcome irks me, even if it is not that noticeable. I have a bit more free time on my hands now, so hopefully I get some painted in the new scheme

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

I love Nards Nids myself.

These are ones I painted for my six year old who has just started 40K.

**Norn King**

Nards Nids are what inspired me to start a new nid army.

**chaos0xomega**

Nard... how...?

**The Dwarf Wolf**

What Nard do with his Nids is beiyond painting, it is Magic.

**Arson Fire**

I see this thread needs more Behemoth.

Some day soon I must remember to get pictures of my whole army.

**SBG**

Your Mycetic spore is amazing - if you don't mind me asking, how did you make it?

**Arson Fire**

I went here and pressed the add to cart button.

**Norn King**

The way you highlight the carapace is incredible. Also, do the doors on the Mycetic spore work on a hinge?

**Arson Fire**

I wanted to hinge the doors, but I only had about a week to assemble and paint the thing before a tournament. So I ended up just sticking the doors on using the magnets it comes with.

**Ratius**

I never really liked Behemoths red and blue but yours are really lovely.
The shine on the Guards carapace and highlighting on the Trygons scales are wicked.

Great spore too, pity its 31 quid.

**Casey's Law**

There is some really nice stuff here. My stuff isn't anywhere near ready to throw up a picture but check out my blog if you'd like a look at what i'm working on.

Link is in my signature.

EDIT: And now it's also here.

I just noticed Nard's stuff is on GW

**legoburner**

Here are some old pics of mine (more in my gallery):

I've actually added a dozen hormagaunts since these pictures were taken and it makes the army look a bit nicer and more balanced.

**Ratius**

Interesting scheme, was looking at doing something similar myself but with red as the carapace.

What colors did you use for the fleshy bits?
How did you highlight the black claws?

I'm certain they must be, but are the mini's on the GW "whats new today" blog yours Nard?

If so, congrats on becoming "famous"

**Nard**

Yes they are mine. Happy days

**Limbo**

Needs more Leviathan!
Here's the stuff I have painted at the moment:

@legoburner, I really dig the skin on your nids, how did you do it?

**legoburner**

Ratius / Limbo, the full recipe for my Tyranids can be found here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/User:legoburner#Tyranids

The skin is very simply:
1. Dheneb Stone
2. Scab Red wash (mixed with water and washing up liquid 50 water:10 paint:1 washing up liquid)
3. Bleached Bone drybrush

Very quick scheme (in case I want to add more horde units later on). Painting it roughly looks fairly effective too.

**HungryTaz**

I don't have much in the way of group shots... but here are some models.

**kshaw2000**

I am afraid to admit I only have a fex, a trygon, brood of gaunts and a zoanthrope painted. they are not even that good, but since they were my first army, it`s almost okay.

may I ruin your eyes once I find my camera?
