Awesome as always! I love your dedication, i wish i had 1% of it.

**DarkTraveler777**

Wonderful!

Those shades of pink and green work really well together.

**Cosmic**

Nard, your 'Nids are just... outstanding! Excellent work once more

**bubber**

Stunning as usual.
Can you give us an updated whole army photo please? I need to cry & that will do it!

This is one of the coolest paint jobs I have ever seen, ever. The black lines really make everything pop and that first picture? I thought it was drawn, not an actual miniature, because the outlined black lines make it look like it's from a comic book or something.

Seriously epic. Have you ever done a tutorial? Namely about how you use those black/dark outlining?

Every time I see these Tyranids I love them all over again.

Ummmm wow...

**Brother SRM**

Gorgeous work as always! The shading is so insanely smooth.

**tyrannosaurus**

Looks like it ripped itself of the page of a comic book, your 'Nids are the greatest.

**Nard**

Cheers guys

Still one of the best and most unique painting styles I have seen on the web, nothing else like it, looks just like the cel shading found in videio games that were popular back in the PS2 days.

I do selfishly want to see some other armies painted in this style though, or nids of another color

**Desubot**

Man these feel straight out of borderlands.

suddenly feel like if i kill it a bunch of blues and purples will pop out.

**PhillyT**

Those awesome. They look like they are cell shaded which is great!

**Eldercaveman**

Looks at own painting table ...

this!

Walks away.

**Squigsquasher**

Wow. That's pretty great. The blending is as smooth as ever- he looks like he came from off the screen of Jet Set Radio! I love the devourer conversions as well.

I'd love to see you do a Flyrant with talons or some other CC weapons though- I reckon you could do a great job!

**jhe90**

Wow, they almost look illustrated rather than painted there that smooth and well done......

**Insane Smile**

I'm about to cry... So beautiful...

**lav25gunner**

how long does it take you to paint a tyrant?

**Stealershock**

Fantastic as always, at first glance I actually thought this one was photoshopped!

**mekugi**

Amazing. I absolutely love the cell shading effect. Sublime painting and great basing too.
