Does anyone know the hive fleet name that is shown on the cover of the 3rd edition codex?

This pic, right?
Red skin, blackish blue carapace...Gotta be Behemoth.

Ehhh not behemoth it shows color schemes later in the codex saying to use chaos black, scab red, and tenticle pink.

No it's distinctly a different Hive Fleet, they have a painted version inside the 3rd Ed Codex and it's clearly a different scheme. I'll see if I can't find my old copy...

Alright, found the Codex but they don't name the fleet. The painted model is almost entirely black with slight red highlights on the carapace, plus the distinctive pink/red heads.
