THE COMPLETE TYRANID COLOURSCHEME THREAD

THE COMPLETE TYRANID COLOURSCHEME THREAD

As the old thread have become somewhat bulky and unwieldy, I respectfully suggest we start a new one.

RULES

1. ONLY post to include your colourscheme. Comments about the nature/validity/coolness of any of the schemes are not welcome.

2. Each post must include a maximum of 2 pictures. One picture should be of a single "small" creature (Gaunt, Stealer, Gargoyle etc). One picture should be of a "large" creature (Warrior, Tyrant, Carnifex etc.).

3. Only post pictures, not links.

4. Pictures should be of a decent quality. No cameraphone-pictures of your model placed on you dirty cuttingmat with some paintpots and your monitor in the background.

5. Painting-instructions should be kept short.


I sincerely pray for your goodwill and willingness to make this the best collection of Tyranid colourschemes found anywhere. After all, The Tyranid Hive should have the best and most usefull list on the Net.

Any comments about the validity of this attempt (both positive and negative) can be made here:
