Made from spare 40k Tyranid bits I got for £20...

Very nicely made there I like the muted colors a lot.

Well dang those are cool! Nice work! Actually the paint scheme for my Nids would go with this fleet.

Very nice, really good use of bits and looks the db

Those are wicked awesome. Very cleverly done.

Those look absolutely fantastic, really fit well.

What paints have you used? I really love the colour.

The warrior heads are sort of weak, everything else is quite impressive

Thanks all

I used Vallejo Russian Green as a base then a homemade wash using ChromaColour Paynes Grey all over followed by three highlights. First was Vallejo Russian Uniform, then Vallejo Green Grey and finally Vallejo Off White. The Claws were a base of Vallejo Dark Sand with a wash made of Vallejo Flat Earth followed by a highlight made of a mix off Dark Sand and Off White and a final highlight of Off White. I highly recommend getting some Paynes Grey to make washes, its great for most colours...

Absolutely brilliant stuff, really brilliant.
You have totally inspired me
Can you run us through what they are all meant to be?

From top to bottom they are 10x Vanguard drone ships, 6x escort drone ships, 5x Kraken, 3x cruisers and 2x hive ships.

Very well executed! I love it!

Holy crap, this fleet is amazing. I think I might have to copy it with the boxes of Nid bitz I've accumulated over the years. I probably have enough to do 100 of these ships.

Thanks for the inspiration, bro.

I've got a complete set of the GW Tyranid ships that are still waiting for paint, but this thread makes me want to sell them off and buy a bunch of plastic 40K 'Nids and scratch build my fleeet.
