Well all tyranids fans, I have aquestion I have been struggling over for a little while. So guys here we go, how do you paint a tyranid army with all the units looking awesome, rather than a few great units and a few rubbish units? It's just that most colour schemes don't work with all units (annoyingly!)!

Welcome to dak dak¡ Have you thought about having just a main color run through your army that looks good on them and paint the secondary colors a different one? That is what i did with my 1k sons with the main color being regal blue and then a bunch of different secondary colors that look good on the aspiring sorcerers.

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, its just a freight train coming your way!

Welcome to Dakka Dakka!
Take a look around, and you'll see some sections of the forum will be a lot more appropriate to post these types of question in!
You'll generate a lot more answers there rather than here - which is basically the Introductions forum for new users.
Basically, if Vindicator#9 can't answer your question, you might be out of luck asking it in here!

Probably from a lot of practice and not trying to do a large group all at once, but multiple small groups of 5-10.

For their bodies I perosnally prefer Spraying them white followed by a couple of washes of Gryphonne Sepia. Works a treat, try it out on something before you commit but I think you'll be happy with the effect.

I have seen that paint on tyranids as you describe. It is a very nice starting point.

 I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent. |
