Behemoth, Kraken or Leviathan?

[Bot]

A comment by Alice in the "Your Tyranid Army" made me curious.

Which of these colour schemes do you prefer? (like, which is the most popular)?

[Bot]

On a second thought... This should might have gone into the Painting section. Sorry about that

All the comments will be moved anyway if it matters

Behemoth does it for me. The rich warm red contrasting so well with the dark cool turquoise is such a nice theme with the gunmetal and hints of green to break it up - an overall great scheme.

Needs a custom army painting option. None of the listed ones did it for me.

I like my scheme, but from the above I like Kraken. It makes the Tyranids look like they are desert dwelling, so that is why I like Kraken

behemoth. im not a real fan of the gw standard colour schemes but those pictures of the alternate behemoth ( maroon and purple) realy caught my eye, and it wouldnt let go

[Lanesend]

I voted Leviathan. I like the poisonous look of the white-pink flesh. Although the 'newer' behemoth scheme deathnid mentions comes in on a close second.

Kraken is classic old-skool.

However, I don't like using GW's typical schemes - there is so much scope to personalise your figures through a unque paint scheme that I have always thought it a shame when I see dozens and dozens of armies all painted in these humdrum colours.

Kraken all the way. My splinter fleet uses a slight variation of the original colors.

Behemoth. Orginal and best.

Also, it's the most 'alien' looking (red, black and blue? Pretty unusual on earth, right) and I reckon that that's how nids should look; alien.

Behemoth all the way! Also, I was curious enough to look and I actually found that scheme on a bug! Shining flea beetles, Asphaera lustrans, have red underbodies, and black carapace with blue iridescent highlights. Somewhat common in the midwest region of the US and parts of Mexico. Educational

Proof that it's already too late for earth. THE TYRANID ARE AMONG US!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

[Hive Fleet Laestrygonian]

there i slight variations in each scheme, my favorite was this variant kraken in the codex, think it was for a biovore.

[kingfisher773]

Kraken, I tend to lean towards the dark armor and bone/ earthy kind of skin ( you might see the skin as yellow, I've seen it as bone and I preferr it that way)

Well found sir. A somewhat diminutive vanguard organism, but proof nonetheless that the great devourer sets eyes on our pretty little world...
