I'm primarily an Ork player (with 7000 pts worth) but I found myself come into possession of a Tyranid army for super cheap that I had no desire to use.

With an upcoming painting competition i finally found a use for it, so I painted up my first Nid for it, here's the results.





sorry for the bad lighting, the sun went behind the neighboring building during the pics

and comments or critiques as always is welcome cheers

nice trigon! i like the effect you did with the blue's on its back scales. you should paint another

Amazing paint job !

Nice! A great scheme for nids, not seen it before, and te green really makes them stand out. Very alien indeed.

Good work! I like that blue-white back armour. Those green sharp scythe things are also good!

Thanks for all the great comments guys Now I just have to decide whether I wanna spend the time painting the rest of the army up lol
