I'm trying to pick a color scheme for my tyranid and wouldn't mind some advice on the last color.I was thinking the Fang for the carapace, genestealer purple for the innards but I'm having a tough time for the skin. I'm a pretty novice painter. Originally I had thought black or dryad bark but I was told black looks horrible unless you're an expert painter.Here's a dakka preview of the colors I picked. (In the picture they aren't layered or shaded so this is just a vague guideline and not an actual finished product).
The colour scheme in the pic is lovely and would look great.Black is very difficult to paint when it's a flat surface. Tyranid skin is rarely flat though so shouldn't be too bad.

Once the game was finished, I wanted carry one with the models, as I want to finish painting this army before carrying on with my Tyranids or Chaos armies. Asking for opinions on how to finish off these models, I was pointed to a couple of color scheme choosers online.Here is my second choice of color schemes to use for my Tyranid army.
I like because it uses very natural, contrasting colors. Warhammer 40k Tyranids Color Scheme GeneratorI like scheme two because it’s brighter, still has a strong contrast, but is less natural. I’m conflicted which to go with. Perhaps I need to devise a 3rd scheme.Archetype IIGW Skull White primer Painted the shell Snot Green Gryphonne Sepia wash the entire model Paint Devlan Mud into the recess of the shell and the deepest recess of the body Chaos Black with a Codex Grey highlight on the fangs Finally a little Graveyard Earth on the base.It’s another simple scheme that’s very easy to achieve.
Let me know what you think of this scheme and which you like best; scheme one (dark brown shell) or scheme two (green shell).Thanks for reading. Post navigation.
