iv been thinking of changing my paint scheme of my hive fleet

the black and green is the new scheme the purple is just on the trygon and then the red and blue is what the rest of my army is painted





what do you guys think

certainly makes them stand out not something i would do but can easily see it working nicely

see, i have a thing against the whole 'solid thick outline from nowhere' look, i just think to myself "this does not look right". also it is very hard to get the line to look evenly thick throughout (granted you have done this very well). personally i would blend it into the black, and make the green a bit darker. but that's just me. great job so far though

Painting your bugs up like some kind of Tron cosplayers is more than a bit garish. I'd stick with the purple/bone combo you've got there. It's a better paintjob too, color scheme aside.

I liike it!

Woh, sweet nids dude, I've still got the latest Space Hulk out back in my bedroom and I'm thinking of painting them now because of your work

thanks for the input guys i changed my mind alittle ill post the finish product of the trygon when i get a chance

Rock the boat time!

Green and black will look awesome. Try to avoid thick lines on the plates. Use a deathering approach and work up from a darker colour, finishing with just a touch of the green. Tone down how bright your bone is by adding a spot of brown and reserve the pure bone colour for highlights.

I'll have a play if my paints arrive today and maybe post up an example.

I would suggest the same. Keep working the shades of green darker and darker until it fades perfectly into the black. Very good color choice though.
