They almost look like they belong in Borderlands with that scheme. Its so cartoony looking and depending on the angle even looks like it has the black outlines everywhere.

never seen a nid scheme like that but it looks really well done. I went from "wtf?" to "oooo" in about 3 seconds lol

**KaptinBadrukk**

Very nice nids.

What hive fleet are they from?

**Fishboy**

The pink Pony Taffy Fleet hehe. I really love the cartoonish style you have Nard.

**LeCacty**

GLORIOUS!

**FeindusMaximus**

Very nice

**The_Webway_Wangeler**

Your Paint job looks like cell shading and it reminds me of borderlands. Great job

**Ratius**

Still got it Nard.

I commented on this color scheme a year or two ago, and I was and still am fine with pink nids. If animals can be pink, then so can nids. I'm also still on the fence on the shading style. I don't think it works, even though it's obviously intentional. Just my opinion.

That said, as if the color scheme wasn't unique enough, the shading makes it memorable and unmistakably unique.

**Klowny**

Awesome, been said before, but the cell shaded look is awesome, really impressive being done on real life 3D models.

Amazing brushwork

**Nard**

**Brennonjw**

Usually I can't stand the 'cell shaded' style, but for some reason I really like how it turned out with your nids.

**Ratius**

Man it almost looks like CGI. Brill.

**Sgt. Oddball**

Cool style. I like the bases especially.

**LeCacty**

It's hard to say this but your Cel Shading style has fething IMPROVED from the beginning of this plog. I didn't even think that was possible!

**FeindusMaximus**

Fantastic Sir

**pancakeonions**

Man, your stuff is so excellent!

So, how many figures/points of Tyranids do you have??? And how often do they get to come out to play?

And sorry if I've missed it, but have you ever done a step by step tutorial of how you paint your stuff? Even though I'm not sure I could ever approximate how cool those look, I'd love to read about how you do it!

**Niatona**

I just relized where I've seen that green and pinky/purple combination before; does anyone remember War Planets? http://www.virtualtoychest.com/warplanets/warplanets.html (the first one).
Anyway, off topic. These are all stunningly beautiful, it's going to be crazy seeing them as a complete army.

Haha, and i just now remembered to check your footer! So you *do* have a tutorial. Thanks!

**FeindusMaximus**

Fantastic job

**Sinful Hero**

Love this color scheme. Always looks awesome.

**Nard**

Hello All,

I have been away and I have not painted in a long time. I'm a little rusty but here you go.

**FeindusMaximus**

As always you have the best looking NIDZ on the NET.

**SwornEnemy**

These are amazing. Not only a great homage to the old dbz cartoon but technically out of this world. I can't imagine how long it takes you to do each model

Amazing work.

**pancakeonions**

DEAD SEXY!

So, how many individual Tyranid figures do you own? Too many to assemble them all together for another group shot???

Hopefully hosted somewhere besides Photobucket...

Did photobucket change something recently? Because this is the 3rd time this week I've seen that happen to someone. Dammit too because seeing an update here made me really excited

Make it a 4th person. It happened to me too.

**Elbows**

Yes, Photobucket has essentially banned 3rd party hosting unless you pay a tremendous amount of money to them. It has broken maybe 35-40% of all threads on forums over the internet, sadly.
