I wan't my nids to look like this but I don't know how to paint them. What paints would work (preferrably GW paints) well. BTW I am not scared to mix paints.


Thanks a bunch.

have a look at this, it may help

Are you looking for table top quality or something better?

P3 traitor green looks like it'll match the body.

Don't know what paints you should use, but to get the pattern on the shell, paint the dark blue on and then dry brush the light blue against the shell pattern, nto with it. That way you only get the edges of the shell.

For the chitin, try ice blue 3:1 or so with catachan green. Carapace start with enchanted blue then highlight with hawk tuq. then ice blue, then white. For the scytals, try a mix of bleached bone and vomit brown about 2:1 or 3:1. Good luck. Also, experiment on gaunts.

Yknow I thought that image of the citadel paint line was useful enough to.......

Thanks for the help guys I am indeed interested in tabletop quality however I took on 40k more for the painting experience so maybe a six or seven golden demon rating.

Space Wolf Grey, Gore Red, Bleached Bone, Enchanted Blue. Thats what I've noticed at least. Could brush the Ice Blue over the Enchanted Blue too.
