Here's my first 6 tyranids out of ..... a gagillion to come. Bases aren't done. Comments are appreciated.

The work on the scything talons are what makes them stand out. Whilst the paint job is a well executed standard scheme, the variation on the claws is a nice touch. Bases will definitely bring them together though.

i like them keep up the good work

Really nice! How did you paint the flesh? I'm working on leviathan too atm, and I'm struggling abit with the white =/

High quality nids!

I primed with a light color (light gray, out of white). Painted all the white parts white then did a thin red wash to get all the crevices. After I painted all the purple and red, I did a final cleanup with the white again. I used Privateer Press' Menoth White. Priming with a light color helps a lot.

Looks awesome!

Those claws really are the selling point on these dudes. Sweet!

I agree, the claws are definitely the stand-out feature. the rest is still awesome, though.
