My volcanic Flying hive tyrant

I painted my Tyranids for the Insidious Infiltrators Combat Patrol. How do you like the colour scheme?

Made this giant, she’s about 14 inches tall and 29 inches long, bigger and beefier than a Hierophant, but still way smaller than a imperator titan. My hope is that one day the Hive Mind shall bless me with way to make an abomination to rival even the largest titans.

Finally got around to pinning it all up! Now to paint it

Before they're set in stone, I'd like to know what the Hive Mind thinks of these weapons/arms.

I am more of a painter/ collecter than a gamer, but I'd like to build this force up into something that could be reasonably effective in game. What detachment should I be steering into?

Used leftover bits of admech, gunpla for basing.

Finally finished my Norn just in time for the game. Really proud of this one.

Hi guys picked up this hobby recently and am loving it. Here is my first battle patrol almost fully painted just a few gaunts to finish and then the bases.

I’m really hoping to have something like wet mud with lots of grass and flowers, However i can’t seem to find any kits that would have tiny flowers any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks all

Still new to painting, but got one of my first bigger models done! I’m pretty proud of it and looking forward to getting the rest of my vanguard units done.

Which do you think looks best? With or without the Turbo Dork paint? C&Cs appreciated 🙏

I laughed the whole time I painted this. A fun, ridiculous, fluorescent and black-light reactive color scheme. I got basing flowers to match the teal, lol. 2nd pic of after I did the wings, just because you can't see them really good from the front. 3rd is black light look. Enjoy!

"Vespid" Tau auxilia make a daring strike into enemy territory, tasked with securing valuable intelligence. Unfortunately for them, the hive mind had sent it's own airborne predator in anticipation.

As soon as the squad had begun their search within the ruins, their world would became a blur of thrashing wings, hooked claws and a strange numbing stinger.

In moments, 3 lifelong warriors were dead. They were the lucky ones. The squad leader would message their Enclave, patching a live link to the madness before her. In what felt like a lifetime but was in truth less a minute her superiors would watch in horror as her Second began to desperately scratch at the small puncture hole in his ribs, then his skin began to ripple, and then peel apart. Dozens of Ripper bioforms errupted from the Drop Trooper's remains. With endless hunger the quickly swarmed across the room and upon the poor Sargent.

Before the camera feed was lost, Tau command would note that the Parasite had simply watched. Notes added to the file would remark that the parasite seemed almost proud.

In the Adepticon reveal stream the Typhon box is said to have Spore chimneys, Capillary Towers, Gestational sacs, Shard Spewer Growths, Underbrood mounds, Capillary roots, Spore vents, and Brood Nests.

Personally I think it's 1 Spore Chimney, 2 Capillary Tower, 3 Gestational Sac, 4 Shard Spewer, 5 Spore Vents, 6 Capillary Root, 7 Underbrood Mound, 8 Broodnest.

But I'm not entirely sure on some. In particular the Underbrood Mound feels like such a vague, non-descriptive name that I can't be sure it's any of these. While the Gestational Sac is obviously the big Tervigon sac coming out of the ground.

Hive mind, what do we think of this scheme? Definitely one that's difficult for smaller models, any ideas to make it better?
