So here it is... A gaunt, of my ice themed Tyranid Army. Please, tell me what you think, and how I can improve.!

Personally, I think that is awesome.
And I have no idea how you can improve, because that already looks brilliant to me!
Great job, the colour scheme looks excellent.

hey,
it’s very nice I like it a lot.
The only thing I would point out is the teeth.
Maybe a little colour would help. Or go crazy
and paint them sliver???

Having icy-nids is a good idea. I think the work you have done on it is very good. You could consider adding some snow-flock to their bases. This would make them look colder.

The overall scheme is wonderful...
My only objection is to the teeth as Boomer said... but not silver... just another coat of Bleached Bone with a highlight of White...

Thanks everyone. And basically to everyone, I kinda agree about the teeth, they do seem out of place. I was just having a hard time figuring out what to do.
And Leech, I swear you are reading my mind or something, because I am most definitely going to add some snow flock. I just have to buy clear coat first, and then I'll flock it.
Oh, and to lewispetersmith, the key is really just being steady with your brush. I mean, you always want a good brush, but the best brush in the world won't save you if your technique is... not good. And the scheme I did is actually simple. I just used REALLY watered down ice blue, and painted it into the crevices, and it kind of blended itself. For the Carapace, I used Necron Abyss, and then highlighted the edges with layers of white and enchanted blue. then I used deneb stone for the claws/ bone parts, and topped that with flesh wash. (I highlighted the edges of the bone places with flesh wash/ deneb stone mixtures, but you can't really see that in the pic.)

I think the only thing it needs is maybe a wash of black ink in those fleshy areas. other than that its bonza mate!
