Paint ANY Large Tyranid Miniature - Same as the Little Ones! [How I Paint Things]

If there's one thing I could share with everyone struggling to find the motivation or the 'skill' they think is necessary to tackle a larger miniature than the basic infantry in a Tyranid army, it'd be this: Stop overthinking it!

Just as Ultramarines have, over the years, changed slightly in GW's house style, so too do Tyranid Hive Fleets occasionally switch up a colour or two. I'm a sucker for the red hooves and dark chitin of Hive Fleet Leviathan, so if you prefer the slightly older style with the raft of new paints that're available these days, check this out!
