With everything that has been going on, he has yet to make it back to the 40K in LONG time. So, I took it upon myself to surprise him with a newly painted Tyranid Army! Tricky part was getting the look right. Going off of the toys we grew up, also using the later fan-art and trailer depictions - the Aliens had different color 'hues'. First test scheme. First attempt at a color scheme for my new Tyranids. Just a lowly termigant, but I tried my best so that I could see what bigger models would look like. Still working out paint consistency kinks - discovered that my wet palette dilutes paint over time. Obvious in retrospect, but caught me by surprise.

Bolter & Chainsword has an amazing set of interactive army painters available, letting you plan out a general look and feel for models before you try them. Its no substitute for trying a model or two, but does let you think about your colour choices!
The best painter is for Space Marines, unsurprisingly. You can also get one for Space Marine Wargear, and for Scouts. There is another one for Terminators.
For other Imperial stuff, there is one for the Imperial Guard (or Astra Militarum) and for the Sisters of Battle.
You also have Chaos Marines.
For Xenos, you have the Tau – Fire Warriors and Orks.
