One of the greatest things about building a Tyranids army (or at least when I played during 3rd/4th/5th edition) is that you can more or less do whatever color scheme you enjoy the most. There are more than a handful ideas out there based on the different Tyranid Fleets in the lore though. Also agreed that this person's doing one bangup of a job!

What's next? All NSFW subs having pictures/stories of OSHA/worker safety violations? BigButts just some ol' plumber cleavage.
The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance. Seemingly decent, but I just really didn't want to be barging in on something that wasn't for me. People seem to really be liking Jerboa, but I find it much simpler finding other instances in the web browser. I still have much to learn though.
The only rational way to be upset would be if you were dead set on the steamy John Oliver exposure! I just had to do a role-reversal of John and the man whose foot was on his neck for over a season, daddy Driver.

100% even for people who would consider themselves more of a casual or infrequent reader. Anecdotally, I've found it harder to sell the show to some people after they watched the first two or three episodes compared to the books for any acquaintance I know who's into Sci-Fi/reading. The descriptions of the social/society explanations are just as well written as the series' tech, and the co-authors do a great job. At least one of them was one of GRRM's editors, so the style structure is somewhat similar, but the writing is an easier read. It is written in character chapters, so as long as that isn't a total turnoff I'd recommend them.
There are some slight differences that are typical between the show/book. I believe the first 2 seasons are mostly from book 1 and then it picks up from there. I believe it's the second book, where there is a bit more of the geopolitical storyline compared to the others. Like with most reading, you get better insight to characters' thought processes and motivations. Books 7-9 aren't touched on at all in the show, and take place after the show's end. That's all I really know about the final 1/3 of the series.
Thanks! Fortunately, I find them to be a pretty easy read. The Sci-Fi explanations and concepts aren't overly technical, and just enough to really get a good feel for the setting and tech IMO. The first 2/3 were great. I'm really interested in what'll be going on in the time jump.
I'll be finishing the last 3 Expanse books once I get my new library card after I moved over a year ago. I made the decision to read the forward and first chapter of my copy of LOTR *eta today. Damn, does it feel like it reads differently than when I read through any of them 8+ years ago. Had a touch-and-go with reading for enjoyment for a while from having to learn different organization/local SOPs for a couple years (during which I read the middle 1/3 of the Expanse). Great to get back into it, though! For Sci-Fi folks, LeVar Burton posted an article on LinkedIn this past week of top modern SciFi. He does say it's also celebrating him being included on that list. https://theportalist-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/theportalist.com/adult-sci-fi-books?amp=1 Some mild webpage ad alert
