Just a test scheme for my new Tyranid Swarm.

Still need to do the tongue and eyes - any suggestions on colours?

How do I get these cursed pictures to work?

I like it.

My friend uses a v similar scheme for his Tyranids, and they look good on the table.

I definitely like the orange/green on the skin. The only suggestion I would make is for some differentiation or highlights on the "bone" back ridges.

Looks good, it's not often you see 'out there' colors that work and are painted well, but you seem to have nailed it! that orange works really well in my opinion, I like!

looks great, can't wait to see a bunch of them

@slinky - thanks, great minds think alike

@flaim - I was debating edge highlighting the black, but I didn't want to use blue tones, and not a massive fan of grey edges as it diffuses the colour, I do have a metallic medium from vallejo, I may mix with black see how that helps it up.

@nerdfest09 - I was orginally going to go with yellow/grey, but then decided orange/grey, and went black black/orange instead, on just this one guy.

@dr.niinja - Once I've got a bunch more of the feeder tendril heads done, espect to see a bunch, as well as some lictors.
