Dang. Those are some sweet nids!

I really like the bright purple highlights on the exoskeletons, it really makes them pop. Looks especially good with the guys that have small amounts of green from weapons and what not.
The use of Purple and green really contrast eachother but they work beceause of the bright colors. I love the models. Did you use wash or ink?
Very nice work, Ghoulio!
@ Ragan: Actually as a general rule I dont use washes or inks unless I am working with metal. Everything on these models is just straight up highlighting. For the green I used Orkhide Green -> Knarloc Green -> Bilious Green as the top highlight.
WoW! Those are fantastic! Nice color while still looking like... well... bugs!
I'll have to bookmark those pics for when/if I ever do some 'Nids...
Do you mind giving your reciple for painting those nids?
@Gunzhard: Well, here is a quick tutorial on how I painted the Genestealers. I have it posted on our blog (I share a blog with 3 friends) because my one friend was asking me how I did it, so hopefully it is what you are looking for (also, sorry for the quality of the pics, still getting the hang of my camera lol)
