what do you guys think the best paint scheme for nids would be even if you don't play them what would you paint them if you had them

pick one and specify what carapace color you would pick with your selection and what shade your skin would be

tell me if i left out a color

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”

“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.”

Was about to say that was a brilliant paintjob untill i realised (quickly) that it was from DoW2. Damn the brilliant graphics, they almost emulate paint stripes on the carapace!!

When you call an intimate moment with your partner "the Assault Phase"

Is that followed by a pile-in move?

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "Hit and Run"

Can that be following a deep strike, or do you have to wait until the next round?

I always like the yellow and black scheme. Id like to see a purple and yellow scheme, anyone else think that would be cool.

"Innocence Proves Nothing... Except That You've Done Nothing Wrong"

Welcome to the Daemonhunters, the ranks of the exalted Ordo Malleus and their cannon fod....er, I mean, loyal allies. Remember...the only ones who need fear the righteous might of the Ordo Malleus are the Daemonic.

I think the monster energy drink theme would be a welcome chang, thats what I'm doin if I start a nid's army(probly for planet strike)

Wot about ultra nids? Paint them just like you would paint ultramarines but obviously carapace=power armour ect.

I used bleached bone with black carapace, with ogryn flesh wash to make it look extra macabre. Finish up with some scab red highlights.
