Scheme 1:



I quite like this as its a nice variant on the Kraken scheme. It would be based just with sand and a bit of flock - pretty generic.

Scheme 2:



Recently ive found myself loving the idea of a snow army. Maybe this scheme with a bit of snow on the models, with an ice/snow base.

Scheme 3:



Im not overly sure about this scheme - I think it could look good but it looks awfully planty like to me. Would be basing this with a jungle-ish theme.

So dear dakkites, would you be able to give me your opinion on these schemes? Your input would be very much appreciated! Also post up your own schemes if you want, give me some ideas

Thanks All!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3905737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3905737.page GMT Re:Tyranid Colour Schemes My own Hive Fleet is a variation of the third one, with slightly different warmer colours.

As for what I think looks good:

Scheme 2 "Squirtle" looks great.
Scheme 1 "Charmander" looks pretty good too.
Scheme 3 "Bulbasaur" looks meh. Nobody likes Bulbasaur.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906246.page GMT Tyranid Colour Schemes

Haha, brilliant way to put it! I am quite tempted by 2 ill be honest, the idea of getting all snowed up nids makes me tingle!

Ill maybe just paint up 2 test gaunts in the "Squirtle" and "Charmander" themes and see what it looks like on the model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906423.page GMT Re:Tyranid Colour Schemes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906514.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3906514.page GMT Tyranid Colour Schemes

Second Scheme test model. I know the base is horrible, stuff Id bought before i decided to try out. Can't believe just how bad it looks...

Opinions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3909275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3909275.page GMT Tyranid Colour Schemes Not trying to hijack your thread here by the way.

The skin looks a bit featureless. I circumvented that by applying a fleshy-rosy red where the chitin/armor meets the skin and adding tons of brown spots to give it a more organic look:
