So in replaying Mass Effect 3, I noticed the interesting skin texture of a race called the Protheans. In looking at the skin/ head carapace combo I thought it would make a great Tyranid army paint scheme. I do not have the Tyranid models to create this myself but I figured I would share this idea with the hobby community. They have yellow eyes with a bit of lightish blue skin covered by a black/dark grey carapace on the top of their head. It is hard to see a good picture but attached is a decent one:

If anyone would like to attempt to create this I would love picture feedback!

Thank You,

Dan

in old colors i would think spacewolfs grey and shadow grey mixed with black... maybe use blue washes... idk for sure but thats a good starting point i guess
