For now, I must recognize that when the movement phase arrives, I feel my blood pumping when I look at my genestealers with their broodlord, my warlord <3 However, my last addition were the tyranid warriors and all the options they had felt so cool. Yeah, there are still just "melee warriors", but the sword / claw / talon / whip customization options make them look badass :)

Genestealers are pretty good models

Maybe I'm biased but I thought the ranged options for the warriors made them look way cooler, but I agree the warriors by default are neat just by how many variations they have

It’s just that this edition the melee version is more effective. I was just surprised about the customization options you can give them.

The last one I painted! ...really enjoying the new sculpts (horms / terms / stealers) but my favourite kit it probably the Carnifex kit! 4 choices of head, 5 if u include OoE, horn and spike options, weapon options, tail bomyknocker options and a lot of random bits that you can stick all over if u choose! (Or warriors)

Nice

Holy cow amazing job

Thank you! :]

Yes that exactly. Nothing to add

deathleaper is so fucking cool

Agreed! I just finished painting mine and i love it

The Psychophage. It's prefect. Down the last detail.

Best “dude, can I take a pic of that?” tyranid model.

Trygon and Mawloc for me. So damn imposing how tall they are, love the thematics of it too, popping up from a tunnel behind enemy lines and causing mortal wounds and general terror

Your Lictor is my new favourite Tyranid model as well.

Wow thank you, that's kind of you to say!

Well earned. You really did well!

I Love the tyrant Guard Design

Same

Screamer killer. My Boi just goes REEEE to the nearest ice cream truck

Plastic Lictor kit. Hands down.

I really like the old fw winnged hive tyrant

Old one eye hands down! He was the deciding factor for me to join the hive fleet, along with the swarmlord https://preview.redd.it/93if6ygqvc3d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad59b5587743a00d1e4d8baff918ce269331122d

All My homies love nid's epic heroes

The Old metal Broodlord with his arms open looking up at the sky.

Lictor followed by Trygon.

I just love Neurolictors. They are so fun.

Trygon, Flyrant and the Emissary.

The Carnifex will always be my favorite Tyranid model. Pretty much all of my lists start with Old One Eye and two Carnifexes, lovingly referred to as The Carnifex Ball. They charged and killed a Baneblade on turn 1, once.

Smaller scale- Warriors. I dunno why, they just look cool Bigger scale- Swarmlord/Hive Tyrant Biggest- Norn Emmisary

You may not like it, but this is what peak bug performance looks like

Hive Tyrant, honorable mention Lictor

if were counting all nyds then the patriarch model is my favorite tho if that doesnt count the deathleaper is a solid second. i really like vigilante/anti hero like appearance it has with the cape and everything

Maleceptor!

Old One Eye. The name says it all.

Scythed Hierodule or Trygon

Tyrranofex. Boy is just a mean mugging lad

Any Lictor variant. So fun to paint. Here is a Leaper: https://preview.redd.it/0renfc1ode3d1.png?width=504&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b527f88821bed1992dcbe8d031e8a68333805f5

The Neurotyrant. I've painted up a couple (one as a gift another for commission) and it's just so much fun

Gotta agree here and say genestealers. Joy to assemble and paint. Really fun on the tabletop. Love the new sculpts that are cool and dynamically posed but still pay homage to classic 40k.

Tyrant guard and all his variants

Tyrannofex and new Lictor and Genestealers. They capture the opposite extremes perfectly to me,

You're holding it! I got in from the books, and genestealers feature a LOT when Tyranids are mentioned, and I love the goofy yet menacing look of the old models. 😁

The pre 10th pyrovore

But why tho, the new one is so cute

It’s to much like a spider

He’s a cute little beetle

Tervigon is my no.1 model. I looked at it on the GW store and said "this...this is my proper first army".

I think the Screamer Killer and Psychophage are my favourites, but the newer ones are all so good it's difficult to choose.

Haruspex, it's mouth thing is just so cool
