Now where is your Space Marine army? It's a gaming law that everyone has one.

Loving the dino look for the gaunts - very unique and striking!
I think it's just fresh look for nids, they have great sculpts and it's strange paint them GW's way.

Tyrannids are looking good, the dino scheme is really cool.
Thanks, I'm happy with both Militarum and nids schemes. I spend some time for researching them and result is satisfactory for me.
Finished termagants brood and first ripper swarm. Like models, even though they're push fit. But due to how they sculpted it's fine even if you make a full brood of same sculpts they looks great.
Spoiler:
Now I wanna make a little pause and play few games before I continue painting. I have some health issues which prevent me from drive into the city to play and people don't wanna drive or ride here even if here is free barbeque, drinks and free transfer... So I think it's gonna be sadhammer crusade. With my little nids against my IG. Once points allow I'll add next brood to nids. And so on.

Incredible job as always, love the colour scheme on those gaunts !
Take care and hopefully you'll have fun even if just against yourself!
Thanks! I hope solo not super boring. At least while I played kill team it was pretty fine. Also if opponent is me , I can use some nice house rules like adding terrain rules from LI for example which I really appreciate.
Nothing significant to post, I'm finishing not wargaming side project. And started own table. Now it's barely 3 44"x30" sheets and pile of 20mm square pipes to be welded into frame. I wanna make table modular, so I can assemble it to be CP/BA/KT or 44"x60"/44""x90" 40k table.

As always I'm sorry for photo's quality and would be glad for any feedback
They look great! And a real cool idea for the paint scheme too!

Played today small game of sadhammer. It's ain't bad. I'm preoccupied whole time, and there is no one to bother me with their habits or strange behavior. Ibelived I knew all my units well and of course I forgot almost everything. Deepstriking reveners, charge after advance for hormagaunts skulking horror for termagants. Forget orders for IG turn one. I definitely need write all down on paper to be able quick check rules and stats.
Also looks like 30x44 is too small even for 400pts game. Nids are too fast to play on such table. Turn one hormagaunts and winged prime in the middle of table. And cause I use pieces of gallowdark as ruins guards can't properly shoot turn one. Overall it would be more fun if I memorize stratagems and all rules or write them so I don't need checking my phone every time I do something.
Spoiler:
Valkyrie and Russ are terrain here. First pict is shooting phase of turn 2. The second is end of turn 4.
It's feels like I need play more before order anything for guards
Right now I don't know if my planned infantry army could do anything against my own needs.
I have them in plans... Somewhere... Sometimes... Later... May be...
