I’ve so far attempted schemes based on the following: The remaining miniatures from the box were painted up to match my existing Tyranid force. I have quite a large army of these guys already, as well as a subservient Genestealer Cult, so I’ll be dropping these straight into that collection – which actually featured in the Crusade section of the previous Tyranids codex.Iron Hands: As mentioned, Barak-Nar Burgundy is a common colour for Iron Hands models.
