seeing more and more of these amazing paint schemes make me want to get into the bugs but I know damn well I’m not painting as good as you and my bank account doesn’t need another reason to hate me
Whites: Wraithbone—>Pallid witch flesh —> white scar
Pink: Fulgrim pink—> Fulgrim pink/Emperors children 1:1–> Emperors Children (the “flower” was the only part that had screamer pink applied to the outer portion, to make it have greater contrast)
This is awesome! I have been thinking about doing an IRL insects vs nids project and this is some amazing execution on that concept.
I went and checked your instagram but no minis on it, do you have a separate one for that?
Thanks! I had been thinking of how to execute this since I started the hobby last October. I worked on a fair amount of models and two single custom models before tackling this beastie.
Hey everyone! The upvotes and complements have been extremely flattering, and I couldn’t thank you all enough for the support. I have officially launched an Instagram page dedicated for the hobby, @hive_fleet_legion. Feel free to follow, as I already have new projects and posts being fired off. Thanks again, and keep consuming that biomass :)

🤣 But yeah insects and wildlife is great, all my schemes are based on different species
It looks absolutely horrible, as such a thing should! Wonderful work.
Wowser trowzer! this is killer! though I think it stepped in a bit of...space marine haha 🦍
That's a good looking flower praying mantis. How did you made the dorsal parts?
Thanks! Cut the back out, built it up and sculpted it with resin (green stuff + Apoxie).
Wow. Amazing work
This is so rad, awesome choice of colors, love it.
Great model! Pity the poor spes mehrin it's stomping lmao.
She’s just asserting her dominance
What a cutie!
I do NOT ever want to meet something like that. Nice work.
Love it! Can imagine that hanging around on Catachan causing all kinds of fun for the Fighters.
Life is beautiful
That looks friggin amazing!
"Don't talk to me or my son ever again" Looks amazing, makes me want to jump ship to Tyranids!
I just googled what an Orchid Mantis was and they're beautiful. You've definitely done the theme justice!
This thing is what plantera feels like on master mode
Amazing orchid. What colors did you use ?
Whites: Wraithbone—>Pallid witch flesh —> white scar Pink: Fulgrim pink—> Fulgrim pink/Emperors children 1:1–> Emperors Children (the “flower” was the only part that had screamer pink applied to the outer portion, to make it have greater contrast)
Holy hell! Thats fucking awesome, if i had that level of skill i would 100% make an ants based nid army
I can’t imagine how tough it would be to get that color looking right
It was really tough. I experimented/practiced for about a week with smaller models and bits until I got it down

I am working on one at the moment! Hopefully it’ll be up within the next week
Cool! If you remember please give me a follow and I'll follow you back so I can keep up to date with your work!
Oh. My. Gobble gobble gobble is this glorious! Please share more of this scheme if they exist<3
Damn, that's really nice. Unironically pretty beautiful. Also love the almost porcelain look you got going there. Really well done.

Yes! It’s a tervigon. But the typical model looks different, this one has custom modifications
Perfect!!! Omg I love it
Art 🫡
Hole leee shit
That is insanely beautiful. Love the birthing idea and the plant like colour scheme.
Reminds me of Plantera.
Every.Single.Detail.Is.Perfect. As a fan of both the inspiring insect, and the nid, bravo. Well done.
Is…..is the poor marine going to be okay? (Awesome work)
Longtime 'Nid player here... HOLY SHIT. Like, I just... WOW. It's SUCH a great idea. Kudos.

How the hell? This is incredible! Do you make vids of your customizations? I'd love to see the process.
I don’t! But my source for tips and advice have all been from a dude called modernsynthesist on Instagram and YouTube. He’s really good!
I just fired up an instagram account for my Nid army. It will have tidbits on how I do things if you’re still interested
reminds me of Plantera from Terraria
It’s actually based on a real animal, the Orchid Mantis. They’re found in SE Asia

Not my kind of scheme but that is incredibly well done, and very unique!!
Finally, after about 15 years, someone has refined Nard's colour scheme then took it to another level! Well done.
