Need Comments/Help: Tyranid Idea


I have a problem that has been bugging me. I have what I think is a decent idea for a Tyranid army but for some reason I can't come up with a good paint scheme. If you have ideas please comment and help me out. I'd love to be able to paint my army. Primer black is getting very old.

The idea: A Tyranid strain that has specialized in living in areas like sewers and deep underhive.

Please comment with paint scheme ideas.

Review: Codex Tau Empire Bullet Format



  • Same format as Chaos Space Marines and Dark Angels Space Marines
  • No Demiurg - the squats or any version of them are not back
  • New race mentioned "Nagi" described as mind controlling worms who are now advisors to the Ethereal caste
    • That sound suspicious to anyone else?
  • Second new flyer kit pending "Razorshark Strike Fighters"
    • Burst cannon, quad ion turret, 2 seeker missiles, no drones
  • The new "Riptide" suit is an elite choice (not a heavy) and it's a monstrous creature wearing a jet pack

How to Set Up Your Own Private Cloud Storage


Lifehacker has a great article up about how to set up your own private cloud storage with free software called ownCloud if you have your own domain. The article says it's takes 5 minutes. It took me a bit longer than that but it was still simple and works well. The only issue I have so far is syncing with my desktop is slower than I would like. It has desktop clients available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and mobile apps for both the iPhone and Android available for download here. ownCloud also have a site for community built apps to expand it's functionality based on your needs here. If you are looking for an easy way to use your web-domain for storing and possibly sharing your files this a great option that worth testing out.
