Can't decide between these two schemes

[cypren]

Hi! Been collecting nids for nearly a year but I have yet to pick a colour scheme. Proactively I've been painting some test models to see how good a scheme can look, and so far I've decided on either Hydra or Court of the Nephilim King. Both schemes look good but I'm really tied between the two, and help on choosing would be greatly appreciated, and any help on how to make them better is also appreciated.

I came here to help, but I also can't decide. I think i would like the hydra one better if it also had a cool carapace pattern like the other one. Maybe in light green.

So at least let me say, that's a great paint job.

I'd go the court one. It's Ver distinctive and pops very well. That will probably be harder to batch paint though.

Go with the second one! The carapace is a work of art on that one!

Liking the Hydra scheme based on the colours!

Hydra genestellers are my favourite.

Bit of a shame that Hydra fleet adaptation rules are a bit niche in the Codex (unless you are planning on a large-unit assault swarm)

Why not both? As long as you know the difference I don't see opponents having a problem with multiple paint schemes in the same army.
