Ok, so my Tyranid Army has been growing since 2004 and its still not complete. Here's a teaser of what to come.

Image

I like to release the pictures of each swarm when they are complete, but each one still never really complete.

This is currently my plan of the army I'm, trying to build.
http://www.lexcore.co.uk/Epic4/tyranids.htm

Probably about 70% of the army complete, but contains a few concept creatures and also a lot of modelling which means probably another few years haha.

I've finally finished the last two Monsterfex (larger version of the Carnifex to give it a slightly different identification) within my Tyrant Monster Group. Just compiling the photos and will post here later.

:) Anyway, first picture of the Tyrant Monster Group. This is the original, and I also did a bit of editing of the background. Comments/preference between the two?

Still not had the chance to work on the new photos yet.

A bit of info as ZombieJay asked me about some of the figures.

The Hive Tyrant uses the old style Tyrant as the basis and built with a 40K Warrior head. This was quite a few years ago so pictures not there on the original post
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9563

The Monsterfex (Carnifex) uses the old style Carnifex as the basis and built with a 40K Gaunt/Warrior head.
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12812

The Tyrgon uses the 40K Gaunt body as a basis.

Love the texture in the spawning pool. Suitably entraily. Yes, that's a word.
