I love the whole concept. The colours work exceptionally well!

I mutted colors do make this a nice change from the flashy Nods I am used to. Very excellent execution.
Can we get better shots of the yellow guy? The Rhulic Jack.

What everyone else said, great colour scheme.

Back home off shift and realised that there were no full frontal shots . . . . . . .

You'll see that on the critters, to speed things up, and so I don't get rediculously bored painting them in great numbers, I have kept the blending to a minimal and normally just use three stages. 1) Brown 2) 50/50 brown and Ushabti Bone 3) Ushabti Bone. At some point I will go back and neaten up some areas and possibly add a bit of Ushabti Bone mixed with white. The aim was to get these game ready, and as I have a few more broods, I tried to keep things simple.

Thanks for all of the kind compliments too. Gives me a bit more confidence moving forward, I might just try having a go at the 'fex next!

Oh yeah; definitely a lot less fun when observed head on!

How that guy in yellow keeps his cool is beyond me...

Might have to get another 'fex. This is the only one I have at the moment. Getting there slowly but surely.

Needs a hefty pair of walking boots, or possibly a baseball bat to swat, not a newspaper

Seriously good mate, I like brown/sand colours for my nids

C'est magnifique!

They look business. It is the best colour scheme for Nids I have ever seen.

Thanks for the praise!

I'm trying not to rush it as I will mess it up, talking of which, I had to gloss varnish what I had done so far as handling the beast was wearing some edges a little. So touched up and glossed with the progress on the claw.

And because I was asked nicely . . . . this one is also a WIP, I have to add weathering to it yet and finish the metal and, and, and . . . . .

As it will be part of my rogue trader style crew I will feature that more in a different thread at a later date once the bugs are sorted.

That suit is brilliant.

By the Throne of Terra! Those bugs are creep-tastic!

Excellent job sir! You've taken my discuss of cockroaches to a new height! Well done!

He meant 'disgust.' Shaking fingers couldn't type.

Or, as I said when he sent a note drawing me here: OMG! When did Garthim get wings?!?

So these have progressed a little since the last post. I put together a couple of videos of how I painted the pieces so far.

Four more before this squad is complete.
