Brother Nathan Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 10th edition has hit. Many new budding tyranid armys are sprouting from their spore sacks. They need colour and nids are less defined by such than probably any other army so share your schemes! lets get the inspiration going!!!

Brother Nathan Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 this is my hive fleet Nundu, roughly based off the 3rd example unnamed one in the last pic. mel_danes, Arson Fire, Filius and 5 others 2 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379283-showcase-show-us-your-your-tyranid-schemes/#findComment-5965569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Brilliant idea for a topic! I may only have one nid painted up, but here he is! Hive Fleet Boreidas at your service. The colour scheme was one I chose all the way back in 2001.

Brother Nathan Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 cheers. may link it in with the model of the week thread and change title so people have a linked place to share their model as it comes up without choking that thread too much.

frankendoodle65 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Loosely based off the 3rd edition Tyranid codex cover artwork by Adrian Smith, I view this as a splinter of hive fleet Behemoth. I've seen plenty of takes on this scheme elsewhere, I tend to push the blue a bit more than most for the Behemoth tie in.

Arson Fire Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I use a variation on hive fleet behemoth. Swapping the black talons/claws to bone, the black guns to leathery brown, and with a much brighter blue carapace.

Xenith Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Awesome work @Arson Fire, I do think that nids are one of the best looking armies on display. Great start @xxxjtmxxx the pink and black work well and the yellow is a nice spot colour!

Brother Nathan Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 This is one of the great things about nids. You take a limited pqlette and apply it to every model twisting it around for scale. Sure more detail the bigger it is. Where as other armys mark out different sections with helmet colours and direvt markings and such needing far more colours which near gets lost on a full looking force...

abraxus Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Been a long time since I worked on them, but this is my 'nids scheme. Basically Leviathan, but with Blue instead of Purple.

Brother Nathan Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 as someone who hate defaulting to leviathan(because one over achieving nid army isnt needed) for nids that looks great! great mix up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379283-showcase-show-us-your-your-tyranid-schemes/#findComment-5985806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
