Interesting...I'm not much of a Tyranid fan but I'm intrigued by this ^_^

I'm glad to hear that. Now join the Great Devourer - err - I mean, do you have any questions? ;)

LOL

How big is your Tyranid collection these days?

Oi... that's hard to tell... I have 3 Hive Tyrants (the Swarmlord, a normal one and a winged one), 3 Tyrant Guard, on Alpha warrior, 8 regular warriors with various armaments, 3 Shrikes (winged warriors), 2 Hive guard, 3 Venomthropes, 3 Zoanthropes, 3 Lictors, somwhere between 40 and 60 Hormagaunts, about the same number of Termagaunts with a variety of weapons (plus at least 5 of the old Gaunt boxes, the one with 8 of each), at least 30 Genestealers (probably closer to 40) 20 Gargoyles, 12 Raveners, 1 Tyrannofex, 3 Carnifexes, 2 Trygons, 3 Biovores.

Something around that :)

O_O....

Hehe, I've been at this for a while :)

GRIBBLY!!!!

what's your colour scheme and how are you going to go about painting it?

My color scheme is red skin with black tiger-stripes, black armor, bone colored claws/spines/hooves/etc.

its actually fairly simple to paint. I prime the whole thing white. Then I wash it with a mix if Red Ink and Scab Red (Yes, I'm still using the old paints. I've got almost 2 complete sets, and I'm not going to buy new ones until those are used up). Then I drybrush everything with blood red. The armor parts are painted with Chaos Black, then highlighted with various shades of grey. I might try to give it some structure, not sure yet. Mouth and teeth will be painted Chaos Black. Then the teeth will be picked out in Boltgun Metal. I usually don't bother highlighting them, since they are so small, the highlights don't show up. The tongue I'll paint... Um, I think it was Bronzed Flesh and highlighted by mixing it with Bleached Bone. Finally everything bone-colored is painted with Skull White and then given a wash with Gryphonne Sepia. Maybe some highlights with Bleached Bone, depending on how it turns out.

The base is gonna get your basic brown earth drybrush (Scorched Brown, Graveyard Earth, Kommando Khaki, if I remember correctly) with some light patches of basic, green static grass and a rim in Goblin Green. Back when I started this army the green rim was still the norm, and while i thought about changing it to brown, I kinda like it that way.

Oh, the Marine will get golden armor, blue shoulder pads and either a blue or red cape. That's the color scheme a friend of mine used, and that army was the first to feel the fury of his Tyrant ;)

Okay, I think that's it! You can see some examples on a photo all the way at the start of my galleria (or by using this link: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/256191/ )
