http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net So I have just started my brand new swarm, and I'm really excited to get started. Basically, I am hoping to take the Leviathan colour scheme, with the light flesh + shade + black carapace + carapace highlight, but I'm planning on changing the shade and carapace highlight for each different unit type. The issue that I'm having as I plunge in, however, is how to get the flesh tone that they have on the website. I've been doing a load of research, and see that some people go for a few options:
1) White spray, Rakarth Flesh Base + Shade + Screaming Skull layer + Pallid Wych Flesh highlight
2) White Spray, Rakarth Flesh base + Shade + Pallid Wych Flesh Layer + White Scar highlight
and still others just going
3) White Spray + Shade + Screaming Skull layer + Pallid Wych Flesh highlight

Option 1 seems to be the one GW goes for on their Youtube tutorials, but the skin looks much more yellow than how most models are painted on the store page, a bit like sour milk. But then when I see certain paint jobs they look a bit too white. Just as I've never seen a Tyranid army in the flesh, I was wondering if people could give me some advice on which paint job to go with.

Also, I will just list a few of the schemes I'll be going for, in case it affects my choice for skin colour:
a) Hive Tyrant: Agrax Earthshade for skin shade, mephiston red + evil sunz scarlet for carapace
b) Termagants: Seraphim sepia for skin shade, sotek green + temple guard blue for carapace
c) Gargoyles: Guegan Orange for skin shade, Celestra grey + slaanesh grey for carapace
d) HIve Guard: Coelia Greenshade for skin shade, Stegadon Green for carapace

Thanks in advance!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745464/9717564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745464/9717564.page GMT GW's paint scheme and see what it llooks like in real life.
