I got these guys a few months back to use up a discount voucher. Since then they've taken a sideline to my Dark Angels project, but with a massive game verses Tau coming I decided to paint them up.
I haven't ever had any fast attack options in my Tyranid force. I've got a Red Terror model sitting idly in the carry case as well, so I think the new unit will give the Tau a decent amount of trouble. They're upgraded to have thorax-mounted spinefists so when they arrive from deep strike there will at least be a round of shooting.
I paint my bugs by drybrushing up from scorched brown to bleached bone. I'm not entirely sure what those colors are called now. I then unify the tone with a wash of reikland flesh. The result is a skin color that varies between models which is a pretty cool, but unintentional effect.
