Judaz Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Don't know if this is the place to post this, but it does have some links to BA since it's the hive fleet thats invading our sector. I'm adding some dead tyranids to my bases and to my Dreadnoughts. The newest dread will get a ripped off carnifex head in his hand but I don't know what colour the nid blood is. I know there is some tyranid players here, and I can't be the only one to model dead nids to the bases. So please enlighten me.

LordCommanderSamirus Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I don't think there is any set color. I've done purple for a carnifex's head on one of my bases. -Samirus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230938-tyranid-blood-colour/#findComment-2776489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Most examples from the fluff that I can recall portray Tyranid ichor/blood as purple. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230938-tyranid-blood-colour/#findComment-2776523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I just finished a chaplain that has a Leviathan ravener by the tail. I decided to go for scorpion green. It kind of reminds you of the blood from the Alien movies, which is fitting.

marine77 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 For color scheme purposes, I would consider doing green. If you do a bright, almost neon green, it will offset from the red very well. Perhaps you could even use some gloss varnish on it to make it look wet and slick too. That would be sweet.

vharing Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have a tyranid army the is the opposite colors of leviathan. Just because I had a spare hormagaunt I added on to the base of my dreadnought. I cut a chunk out of it and used hot glue for the guts. I then used about 3 different shades of green to paint the guts. I like how it turned out.

shan vener Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 actually there was a set color. if you read the space hulk book it describes it as a yellow ichor.

Judaz Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 That green colour looks nice. I think I'll do it green, maybe with yellow as extreme highlight then. Thanks guys!
