Hey Guys,

starting a nids army. first time back to 40k in a while. Thoughts/criticism?

what to name the hive fleet?

obviously the base still needs to get done. along with the varnishes, +some blood on the tentacles.












edit: they are tentacles people.. damn auto correct

Painting looks awesome, however I think you will want to put some blood on the TENTACLES! may look better, and more intimidating.

But seriously I love the black carapace.and purple squishy parts. I think if you could find a way to make the black a little more shiny or glossy, that would really make a difference.

Good looking paint job & nice original colours.

I did have to zoom in just to confirm you hadn't converted it to have testicles. Glad to see you hadn't. Lol.

This, I lol'd when I read testicles. Bloody ones, no less.

My only criticism would be that the edge highlights are a bit patchy, but generally it looks nice.

I like the edging on the black carapace.

Maybe name them hive fleet Testiclees?

ill never hear the end of it. lol

He looks awesome! Love the purple shades on the skin.

everytime i see this model i keep thinking "let me touch your face" always did creep me out
