Hey guys,

Going to start Nids when the come out and rumor has it my bro inlaw has got some stuff for me for Christmas.

So picked up a cheap box of gaunts to get some schemes in

The carapace I am set on, however not sure on skin colour/weapon colour.

Nid no 1





Nid No 2 (not liking this one its like icecream)





Nid 3





Nid 4





Open to ideas, got 1 gaunt left so can incorporate them

Cheers

I like the 4th scheme the most, but I would probably use the blue color on all the exposed muscle bits and weapon tubing and ditch the pink, or the other way around, whichever you prefer. Looks good.

I like the pink one, looks gribbly

Nid 1 got my vote.

Has the most colour and you don't lose details from the black.

:-)

Agree. I like the black and bone theme the best. The blue would really make them seem cold. Good job so far, a whole group of these painted up would look great.

Double ditto. Nid 1, but they all look pretty good.

I picked 4. As a side note, 2 and 3 just look like WiP versions of 1 and 4, respectively.

In any event, 4 is a really nice piece of work!

Shoot, Im tossed up between the 1st one and the last one. I like what you did on the carapace on the last one!

I think the first one will look better on the battlefield and stand out a bit better than the others, shading looks nicer than the darker ones.
Also, nids have a lot of big gribblies and I think the more fleshy tones of '1' will be more gruesome on the large figs.
