Recommended Citadel Paints

To paint this model and achieve a classic Tyranid look, consider using the following Citadel paints to highlight the creature’s organic textures and chitin armor:

• Wraithbone
• Screamer Pink
• Xereus Purple
• Genestealer Purple
• Rakarth Flesh
• Bugman’s Glow
• Mephiston Red
• Abaddon Black
