Hello dakkadakkaian's my local games workshop, shop, is having a competition (not sure if other ones are or not too) to see who can design the best new space marine chapter, they re giving out a single free space marine to every entrant. I was thinking of using past tyranid painting styles, such as bone colour and textures, but I was wondering first if there is already a official bone coloured chapter because I would hate to turn up and find the ... chapter is already standing there gloriously. Best answer gets a virtual message hug from me! Thanks

The only bone color marines I have seen are Deathwing terminators from Dark Angels.

Thanks for reply, think I am safe doing a bone coloured marine.

What secondary colors are you thinking?

You might not want to do bone.

Dare you to paint your marine like this http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/15029-.html

Possibly bone colouring similar to this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=tyranid+bone+colour+40k&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=GYK4zIW3_XrYgM:&imgrefurl=http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/237062.page&docid=1ci8lSsBy3WIKM&w=600&h=450&ei=SQo4TuS_GtOq8APd8NXiAg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=415&page=1&tbnh=172&tbnw=258&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0&tx=169&ty=126&biw=1440&bih=839

And will then use green stuff and knife to engrave writing into the models armour which can then be washed and painted slightly red as the secondary colour in places
