The Colours of Death

[Julio]

Ok everybody.
This is your chance to show off your colours!
Post ONE picture of your hive fleet colour on a gaunt (preferably a termagaunt; I want to keep things as proper as possible) side view. If you have two Hive Fleets, you can put up TWO pictures and so on. Above your photo(s) name the fleet if you have a name. If you dont have a name then just put "Unknown Fleet." If you want, you can put a bit of fluff under the image, you know maybe a paragraph or two about the history of the fleet, first encounters etc.

Yes i know this sounds extremely strict but just imagine a thread full of colour variations!. Think of it as an "Imperial Record of Tyranids."


Try and keep it like at the end of the 4th Ed. Codex - all side view shots.

So post away my friends, post away...




PS: I forgot one thing - if all the pictures are the same size just imagine how cool this will be. And stay away from blurry pics as much as you can


PSS: Almost forgot! It would be great if all the pictures can have a WHITE background, just to keep things looking proffesional. I know that this may not be possible for some people, but if you can, please do.

white background is easy, stick a piece of paper behind it.

Hive Fleet Kraken

Hive-Fleet Coronoid - 1201
- Kraken splinter -

the coronoid splinter fleet from hive fleet kraken was named after the system in which it appeared. the coronoid system is in the outher rim of the galaxy near the eastern fringe. Coronoid attacked and clashed with imperial forces at orbit of the planet Protaan. Coronoid was destroyed but at a later date it re-appeared, how it returned is still unknown, but theories points at hive-fleet Xeno




Hive-Fleet Xeno - 426
- new fleet -

hive fleet xeno appeared in the Coronoid system after the destruction of Coronoid 1201. it did cut through the imperial fleets like butter in the sunshine. the fleet is rumored to have awakened Coronoid 1201 after spending time in orbit of protaan. more proof have been seen as the two fleets don't attack eachother, but co-operate. xeno have also, showed to be very tactical and smart in it's ways of battle both in space and on planetary attacks.




Hive-Fleet Scizor - 161
- new fleet -

scizor did enter the galaxy pretty much like any other fleet, and came in several tendrils just like Leviathan did. scizor advanced and devoured many worlds in it's path. each tendril is large and seem to be specialised on certain ways of battle, all different from each tendril.




Hive-Fleet Devoura - 182
- Behemoth splinter/rebirth -

behemoth have crashed, that's well known. but surviving remains stranded on the planet have been reproducing. the fleet have now returned into space, but how it made it back into space is unknown. the fleet is feared for it's unending tides of smaller creatures and warriors are more common to lead each assault rather than hive tyrants.




Hive-Fleet Morpha - 016
- Leviathan splinter -

Morpha is feared for breeding large amounts of larger creatures, most common is Carnifexes in various breeds and they are often launched with mycetic assaults. Morpha is well known for it's massive boarding actions and the fleet might have the most recorded space assaults out of all the fleets. but they are deadly on the ground aswell, launching attacks against even the most guarded and heavily fortified worlds without any fear,and often with success

sorry that it's no gaunt, i havn't painted any yet, but i'd replace this pic later

[Enigma]

Hive Fleet Enigma
Enigma was first found attacking from the Eastern Fringe, and is known as Enigma because of it's mostly unknown origins. Some of the Magos Bioligis say that it is a splinter fleet of Kraken, some say it is all the way from Behemoth, and some say it is a new fleet. All we know is that it is huge, and it is out there. The terrified soldiers that were forced to fight it dubbed them the "Night Bloods" for their dark red carapace, and black exoskeleton, making them look black with bloodstains. They will be feared.
