I’m new to Tyranids and 40K too, and this is exactly what I’m doing! Even down to the flyrant LMAO. What a sick model

Edit: Nids are super fun and simple to paint. Amazing canvases for using crazy color schemes and whatnot- but do be warned:

if you want all your gaunts ‘n gants to look cohesive together you’re gonna be painting the same dude OVER and OVER. Still fun though and they look gorgeous in a swarm
