Tyrannofex I have been working on.
Please note that the stray red on the gun, and the stray purple on the face have been fixed.
C+C greatly appreciated.

Now thats a beast! Loving the black to red transition.

Well done - I like the healthy purple gumline. Does your Hive Fleet have a good dentist?

Yeah, being part of the hive mind has its medical benefits.

Any criticisms?

I can't wait to smash it with the Emperor's hammer.

It looks fantastic though, I'm jealous.

I you guys just saying that its good for the hell of it? Because most of my painting is crap, to put it bluntly. Perhaps its is because I got the paint scheme of youtube.

"Don't be so humble - you aren't so great."

Believe it or not, but I'm sincere when I say that I'd love to crush your pretty models in a game. It looks fantastic, and it actually makes me wonder what the rest of your army looks like. The only thing that's uneventful is the base, which if anyone spent more than a second looking at would understand even that still fits with your theme and is fine being simple. If you were copying a uTube paint scheme, I'd say you nailed it.

Thank you for the kind words. Here is the YouTube video:

Let me just pick my jaw back off the ground

Not sure if joking, or just complimenting. *thinking face*

I like it. The only problem I have really is the base blends in a lot with the color on the model. Other than that it is quite nice.

Very nice!

I like him a lot. The colours blend well and make him look very menacing.

It seems you're looking for critical reception, however.
So here's my two-cents for what it's worth:

Spore Chimneys: In my opinion, the Spore Chimneys look a bit too pinkish where they've been feathered.
the rest of the armour plates have the same feathering, but the pinker colouration blends a lot more smoothly.
The smaller Chimneys at the rear of the model are better, and the ratio is more accurate to the rest of the model, whereas the ratio of the feathering on the main Chimneys seems a bit off off to me, as it starts mid-way up the Chimneys, instead of a quarter of the way.
Of course, if that was your intent then kudos! It's just my opinion ^-^

The Base: At the moment, it blends too much with the skin of the model and lacks character. If I was looking at an entire swarm army in this scheme with the same bases, I think my eyes would start to go funny trying to pick out the details of the flesh. There's several ways to rectify this. You could give the base a hard wash, or add some kind of scenery like alien plant life or some rocky outcrops/rock piles in a different colour that contrasts nicely.

Overall, a solid 8/10.

Thank you for the great critique! I was rushing the feathering a bit on the towers, i will have to fix that. Re the base, it is only temporary as a plan to get some resin bases. Thank you for the helpful and kind words.

Um....I might have to see that dentist you were talking about earlyer....my lower half of my jaw just lost all of its teeth due to falling to my tile floor. Seriously, it looks great!

What kind of bases should i get? Swamp, Metal decking, ruins, etc, etc?

Well, a swamp base does not suit this paint sceme......IMO

I think a Metal decking or a black&white tile floor with some grass and dirt here and there would do great!

I'm doing some Hormagaunts at the moment, they will probably be finished in a couple of days, watch this space!

I will be looking!

Hormagaunt! just a test model really, i will batch paint the rest. Its over cast today so the lighting is not so good. The models itself is a bit messy but its so small and i will have at least 30 of them eventually no one would notice. It is based yet either.

Looking good there
