WIP: Classic Tyranid Warriors

I have a soft spot for these models. I think they look really alien. I love the scaly hides and the bulbous heads perched on tiny turkey like necks. I recently painted eight Genestealers and these three warriors are the last models to paint to complete the legendary 1992 classic Tyranid Attack boxed game. I want to finish this project so I can tick the box and concentrate on my Necrons and Black Legion.

They look great! I have a soft spot of the models too, they were the first tyranids I had ever seen back when I started around 2nd edition! It is really nice to see them painted so nicely, particularly with that classic red scheme.

They do look brilliant, and I agree about the models. I love this warrior design more than any other incarnation for just that sense of more alien nature. GW used to have a pretty good feeling for the further limits.

Wow, those are really fun! They definitely look more alien than the current Tyranids. The color scheme you chose is ace.
