Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a Tyranid paint scheme that would really finish off this guy? My original thought was Hive Fleet Leviathan, but that it might get lost on a snowy rubble base. Here's front and back pictures for visual aid. Cheers in advance guys.

Do you have a Tyranid army or is there a regular opponant of yours that plays Nids? If so you should paint it up in their scheme. That way its like a quiet little jab at how your Marines are superior to their Nids.

If you want a snowy base, you should avoid white or close colors.
I'd go for Behemoth. That's the hive fleet I chose for my own version of Cassius, and I think it's appropriate for yours. Blue and red will pop on the snow, and fit well with your color scheme.


Unless, as suggested by Snrub, you have a tyranid opponent.



Edit : in fact, paint the dead tyranid like the book on Cassius belt.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a game in years, not since I got back into the hobby, and my only friends who play all do Chaos.
I was thinking Behemoth, but since that's what his book is made of, I was going to go for something different.
I love your Cassius though Minus, I feel wholly unworthy to have a picture of mine seen by you now.
