Are they just washes over metallics?
Look great, especially the purple.

Thanks all, I'll make and army profile when I have time.
@ gonads - there is a black wash over the green carapace parts. The black body parts on the genestealer are drybrushed with metallic purple. Its a new look I'm trying and haven't gotten around to updating my MC's yet.

Awesome! The metallic green carapaces are my favorite parts of the army. I don't usually like tyranid color schemes, but these are great.

That's a nice, colourful Tyranid army. Natural metallic colours fit well on Tyranids due to natural insect colours.

Excellent work--and the use of aquarium terrain is just downright cool, complimenting the 'Nids perfectly.

I reckon that would look like a hell of an army to face over the table, great work.

Great colorsheme. Great models. Your army rocks! I find most Nid colorshemes (bright colored red and blue) horrible (except for Jormungandr) but yours works very well and the metallic carapace certainly screams bugs! I've seen a lot of real bugs with similar colors.  And I've always been a fan of darker colors for nids, still wonder that most paint them so bright. The brighter weapons are a nice contrast.
