Hey guys I wanted to get your opinion on my tryanid army. A couple things I should mention, there are two different schemes to represent two different Hive fleets coming together (allying with themselves). Also I tried to paint the bio titan like he belonged to both schemse so that is why it is a bit different. The base is almost complete for the titan, just needs water effect and to paint the border black, and I have 1 zoan, 1 trygon, and 9 gaunts that need painting. I have yet to decide what new nids I am going to buy, nor which scheme I want what painted in. I just wanted your guys opinion on the condition of the current army, and whether or not you like it.

ALso here is an HD video for the Hive Tyrant I got BTP to do:

I love heirophants. Yours is excellent. I especially like the base but im confused about the inconsistent colors across your army

I guess I just dont get why you did it that way

As individual hive fleets and gc they look great.
The painting is absolutely fine.
As a whole though it looks a bit of a bag of skittles, part of the reason that my nid collection is so huge is that they never look quite right allying with anything or mixing colours within the group and I like big games.
I'd certainly paint the bases the same on all of the models and perhaps consider a few merger units/beasts that would tie both fleets together, ie a blue and grey and green harpy or an orange green and olive coloured unit of warriors.
I think that that would be the easiest way to make the collection hang a bit better.

Or a pair of super psychedelic hierodules using all of the colours.

Yeah, I might get work done to make all the army match better. of course after I have bought my new units

Hmm turquoisy tyranids....a flying thing with a red horn blade thing....hmmm I most definently recognize these, how? 'cause I painted some of them haha Love the green ones there, "twinner"

Wow, great skills, sir!

Love the big beastie with thelittle diorama on the base

Haha thanks, I should mention that I didn't paint these myself, I either got them painted or commissioned someone to paint them, I have 0 painting skills. And thanks for the comments guy,.

I got another question for you, how would you marry the two schemes?

I'd go for the orangy, brown Mars style throughout.
But yeah, perhaps add the neon green as a third weapon colour for the vents/gills on the guns throughout the army.

Thanks I will definitely give it some thought. I can wait to post my grey knight for y'all to see once I get them all in.
