    Another upvote for the green claws - they absolutely needed the accent colour to properly "pop" - definitely worth the time. Love the "stretched" looking wing membranes too.

    Very cool, the added green looks really good definitely worth the extra step.
    The soundtrack in the video was spot on, 80's music had such a unique sound to it.
    Feeling inspired to get my nids painted!

    Congratulations on your painted army! It looks great and the acid glow really makes them pop out. I still have to start with my own 350 nids, one day I will, in steady increments. Also I like your 80s Power montage! Aliens = Best movie in the franchise

    Aliens is the best in the series as you said. The army turned out awesome! Thanks for sharing the process. What I’ve painted of my Genestealer Cults army draws inspiration from aliens as well. I used gloss on the carapaces and matte on the underbits to differentiate the parts. Other wise standard black with grey highlights.

    This looks just amazing.
    Tyranids was my beginning Army back in the 3rd Edition and i love them since today. I feel your pain batchpainting 100+ Models x,)
    But it is so satisfying to rim the Base at the end and see how much is done.
    For the Alien Movies, i love them all even the "bad" ones.
    The first is good if you want Horror, the second ist the best for your popcorn action.
    Thank you for bringing these big two toghether in such a beautiful way.
    If i hadn´t already a big Swarm, i would full Giger style like you did.
    P.S.
    The 80´s spawned the best Movie Franchises!
