Daboarders Nids: Hive Fleet himera

[daboarder]

So, re-booting my nids with a scheme I've had sitting on the back burner most of the life of the 5th ed codex (that thing was atrocious)

Its going to be a deep green exoskeletion with black Carapce highlighted to light green.

Here's the work thats been done on one of my tyrants on and off over the last year or so.http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/daboarder/20140119_102956_zps1d267ea6.jpghttp://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/daboarder/20140121_071741_zpsec0f7b16.jpghttp://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/daboarder/20140121_071759_zps7bc2a6a4.jpghttp://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/daboarder/20140119_102929_zps2736811b.jpg

Very nice! The neon green is fantastically alien.

While I think the greens are looking awesome, I can't help but feel that you need one more colour to contest the greens. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense its quite late where i am

Yeah I'll be keeping an eye on that as I paint it, I'm currently thinking that the bone should break up the green enough when I have it finished. But if it doesn't then I'll do the musculature parts either in yellow (Or not since Costa has that, HAAHA.) Or blue like the Forgeworld hierophant.

I think that Blue would work very well, But I'm really not one to talk, my current project are raptors chapter marines so I'm all for green with green :cool:

of course you want to make it "pop" but, you scheme is already better then behemoth and kraken imo lol.
