Hello Dakka, I'm not sure where to post this so I put it here to be safe.
I'm starting a new Tryanid army and I wanted to paint them like this.
so if you know what paints and washes they used for this, I would like to know thank you.

Green, white, and brown.

i love the zergling! is there an entire tyranid army modeled after the swarm?

That's not a Zergling.

Quite the complicated paint scheme on that Bug. It looks like it will require a lot of blending to replicate. For colours, from what I can see the top looks like a Dark Angels Green basecoat followed by Goblin Green with Devlan Mud washed into the recesses. Upper arms look like Bleached Bone with a touch of Goblin Green mixed in, with more Devlan Mud washed into the recesses. On the bony blades I'm seeing Bleached Bone highlighted with either Gryphonne Sepia or Vomit Brown. Bony undercarriage looks Bleached Bone washed with Devlan Mud and Badab Black.

That is a Forgeworld Hierodule. Please, never refer to a Tyranid model as a 'zergling' ever again.

It means death to speak such heresy.

Thank you, I will look pick up those paints and test it on a few gaunts. If its to hard for my (poor) painting skills I will have to find a more easy way to paint them

Actually, it would not hurt to ask on the Forge World Facebook page. They usually will answer.
