Vespa, the latin name for Wasp or Hornet, not the little scooter 

Anyway, here is my zoanthrope which was the guinea pig for the color scheme and i think all is turning out the way I was hoping it would

Yeah the black is highlighted as well and I am really at a loss right now on how to base them, as I want it to really compliment the scheme..

Thanks guys

Well if you want something to go with bee colored bugs, you can do bright green grass and tall flowers (like from a doll house flower pot or something). I am liking the colors alot ^^ I especally like the highlights on the skin.
I know they're supposed to be like wasps, but Zonethropes are like the Bumble Bee of the Tyranids they scare you at picnics but can't really hurt you and are so chubby they shouldnt be able to fly x.x. Also theyre kind of cute. Also the bumble bee's have psychic powers

Maybe instead of the striped effect on the shell, you might want to go with a wasp's pattern?  The red tint is just bad lighting, so ignore that part.

Vespa means wasp?



Here I thought it was some sort of reference to Princess Vespa from Spaceballs

Glad that's cleared up.

Dear Whiny Space Marine Players,
you get 3+ armor saves on all your troops (save scouts), Assault cannons, a huge assortment of vehicles and weapons, arguably one of the best if not THE best tank in the game, funny helmets, and a partrige in a pear tree.

suck it up, space marines. You're the emperor's chosen superhuman warriors. stop whining like a guardsmen and take it like a superman!

Yeah, I thought they would all be riding around on scooters and dressed like mods or something.

I really dig the scheme. Good idea and execution. The bases look rad too.

I really like the color scheme. The contrast of the yellow and greys is good, but the paint looks a bit thick in areas, and the yellow could be shaded more smoothly.
