Hello everyone! Urkh here. I'll try not to BUG you too much, but here I go. At the beginning of 10th edition, I SOMEHOW found myself with a fledgling army of Tyranids *shifty eyes*.  Times have been very busy, but it has slowed down enough that I've decided to try and find a paint scheme for these insidious insects. So naturally, I thought I'd come to the hive mind to get some opinions.

 

Now, I want my armies to all be different colored for the theme. My first army is Black Templars, which are black, of course. Then I have my orange Eldar and my yellow Leagues of Votann. I also have a rescue army of Necrons I got from my old 5th edition buddy, which, I will be painting purple as my dynasty color. 

 

So I'm here thinking to myself, what color do I want to paint my 'Nids? My brother already has red and blue Tyranids, and with the other colors taken by other armies, I fell on green. My first shot at this was to make a more normal green body, with a forest green chitin, bone color accents, with pink muscular tissue.IMG_20251006_023238006_HDR.thumb.jpg.a91ca8d6b678762312c45872f68b265b.jpg

 

Then I decided to invert the greens, and make a forest green body with a normal green chitin, because I do like the idea of a darker chitin then the body:IMG_20251006_023248088_HDR.thumb.jpg.ff524f3c4305a7e10560c527e95a26e6.jpg

 

But then I thought to myself, what I play around with the forest green idea and try to make them a tree?I came up with this:IMG_20251006_013845564_HDR.thumb.jpg.88b252a8d3f13cb7366afe2af3bbe593.jpg

 

Now,.I like all three of them, but I think I'm leaning towards the tree nid. Here is a photo of all of them togetherIMG_20251006_014532911_HDR.thumb.jpg.cbbb65f33003e8b1103ad320988da814.jpg

 

These are all only base coats and a preliminary wash, but let me know what you guys think! This army will slowly get painted to this level to break the monotony of getting my Votann to parade level.
