I just started getting back into painting my slew of warhammer models and wanted to start off with finishing the tyranids I have but I'm having a slight debacle with the color scheme. Currently i'm using dark purple for the skin which I will highlight with a lighter color, and then possible wash with purple ink (or wash with purple ink and then highlight the raise areas - not entirely sure which way to go with it). The carapace is a very dark blue highlighted twice with I think its enchanted blue, followed by ice blue. The venom sacs will contain a bright orange toxin. I don't know how to approach the talons and feet (hooves?). I'm thinkin black and then painting the tips either a grey-light blue or possibly splashing them with the same orange used for the venom. The other aspect is the soft muscley parts of the model like the adrenal gland. Currently I have it painted green, highlighted a little, then I washed it with a green ink. My concern is the green and purple are going to clash too much when I go to paint the hoses on the weapons of the larger models.
They are very much a work in progress, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated on the color palette or overall look of the model! Thanks!
