I like them, how did you do the flesh and carapace?

i love the bright red, it stands out a lot, i usually do not like to see 'nids armies but the look of these are awesome, i can only imagine the time and effort you put into these. WOW!

wow my compliments on a fantastic looking army,
what is most impressive to me is how disciplined you were in keeping everything uniform, as having the same skin tone and details would be important fluff wise for anyone, especially tyranid.

if I were to offer any criticism I would say I dislike the blob coming out of the spore cannon, an extremely hard effect to pull off, while the same technique netted you awesome drool/venom/secretion pools on the MC's.

The floor shattering effect is awesome and I can tell it took a lot of extra work and foresight to pull off properly,

my compliments.

Doing the same thing over and over was tedious and tiring. I painted this army up for a tournament with a short time frame, the termigants almost drove me up the wall.

The skin is a base of Khorne Red and then layers were built up with red gore, blood red, and blazing orange. The skin was VGC black and then wet blended with one of the VMC turquoise colors, the name escapes me right now. I got this army (most of it) in a trade and restored a rough paint job. It had a couple layers of different paint jobs to the point that the termigants barely had details on their heads.

Thanks for all the comments.

Dude......just.............wow.

Very nice! The different areas painted with matte and gloss varnish works really well. I especially like the metal floors, is it plasticard & liquid metal paints or actual metal?

The best part is that the army looks even more amazing in person. I also can't comment enough on the awesome simplicity of the Spores. Further pops bro!

Nice NIDZ Sir

I can't get over how cool those bases are, especially the trygon.

The floors are plasticard painted with GW metals and wash. I only have the white gold for liquid metal right now (3 bottles from some reason).

That's a cool looking army, I really like the guard getting stomped

Great theme, looks great.

Love the bases. what did you use?

Other than plasicard, I used some wire from some defunct headphones.

I like the metal basing. Reminds me of Aliens.
