Looking for the best of the best

[nurgleonbass]

Hello people. Just purchased myself a Tyranid army and looking forward to painting it.

I'm looking for inspiration so anyone care to nominate what they think is the best looking tyranid army on the web? Links appreciated!

The way I see it, painting 'Nids is like getting a tattoo. If you don't decide on what you want completley by yourself, you'll never be able to moon some one with confidence again. I'd go with you're to favourite colors to start, carapace and skin, then tweak that as you go.

That being said, this hive has one of my fav. color schemes, as well as a great track record. Here's his flyrant, you can navigate from there.

They also look good in the pictures here michael.casavant.us/40K/40kBatReps4/BR037/index.htm

That battle report isn't bad, either.

Hah, I just use any paint I had my hands on to paint mine, (actually turned out pretty good.)

Hive Fleet Moloch is HANDS DOWN the best of the best! Kep is a wonderful artist. The Fleet's site is on www.hivefleetmoloch.de/ and his personal site is www.necrotales.com/.

That said, the world battle is for 2nd place. Check out one of our members... Scizor. His paint scheme and delivery is flawless. He has several threads with pics. Its classic, its awesome.

No competition for 1st place. Moloch owns

Ok...moloch is nice and all...BUT:

These tyranids are better. Moloch has more models...but the quality of the paint is better in the link that I provided...plus some nice conversions too.

I don't know if this could help inspire you but here it is anyways:

Just don't do the one "Tyranids-Genestealers & Gaunts" darn Blue Table Painting for copying my color scheme and making it 100 times better .

[Edit] The thing about the not doing my color scheme thing is a joke by the way.
