Iridescent carapaces are a nice nod to natural bug schemes. Very well done indeed.

I think the metallics work really well, looks very 'Alien'! Loving the scenic shots too. Makes me want a game!

Damn it to hell i was just going to start some turquoise and black Tyranids! ... However yours look excellent, you get all the idealogical credit if i upload some pics keep it up!

I love it, my first reaction was Barney the Purple Dinosaur gone bad (A lovable American children's show character for those who might not know) Still I love the color sheme, there needs to be more Tyranids that don't have blazing colors all over (That's right Behemoth I'm talkin to you)

i absolutely love your scheme!

That blue is my favorite color!

Those are some of the best nids I've ever seen. The metallic green was an awesome choice. And you pulled off the red-ish contrast without making it look like Christmas colors. And the bases are great, too - it's like they ALREADY ate the planet and all that's left is rock, dust, and the occasional inedible lasgun!

Great job!

I've been wanting to see a metallic Scarab - like bug army for a while, and this is a great example of the idea working really well in practice. Like your use of Trygon head crests on Carnifex kits, very simple but effective Tervigon conversion that avoids a lot of the pitfalls commonly seen when mixing parts from the two creatures.

really cool, love the bases !

Sweet paint job man I think the metallic looks better than most standard colours, nice job

The transition on all the colours is amazing. Especially that turquoise/lightblue.

Looks great man!

They look great! Awesome job

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've added my Tfex and Tyrant to the original post for your review.

I love the unique colour scheme. I think the photos can not live up to how good this army must look in real life.

T-fex look amazing, on a par with your brilliant Tervigon!

excellent paint work! Truly a terrifying sight as these brutes race across the battlefield!

Awesome. Do want

Very good sir

Looks great! Their shells look very hard and bug like.
