Hey guys. I've bought this a few days ago and I've got it done today (duh). I'd like some opinions on this. Be nice, it's my second tyranid

The turquoise-y blue is a little OTT for my tastes but having said that, I like the camo carapace - nicely done

Yea, I was worried about the blue being too dominant/OOT/whatever.
By the way, thanks.

I really like the colours used in the carapace, aswell as the skin. I also like the feeder tendrils alot. Personally I think there is too much going on. The red-ish shade used in the recesses contrasts too much with the bright blue of the talons etc. No two primary colours i.e. red and blue should be used in close conjunction. As such I'd say the recesses should either be a dark blue (almost black) to go with the talons etc, or the talons should be a dark red to go with the recesses. But thats just my opinion. Finally, its nice to see an older lictor model, as I have just finished one myself.

Nice start, the only recomendation I have is to use some washes. They'll tone down and blend your colours while creating darker recesses

I strongly disagree. Don't believe the lies.

Nice looking lictor though.

The model itself looks nice! However, I'm not a fan of the blue claws, but if that's what you like - go for it!
