The Clementine Carnivore would be a fitting name. Unleash the spores!

I would like to see a Primaris Space Marine painted in a retro style. See some crazy 2nd or 3rd ed paint schemes on an intercessor

[mcbain]

I always wanted to to collected and do an alien themed army all back and glossy looking like the ones from alien 2

[Wildonion]

What a transformation! One thing I really dig is how the tail and the horn bring this guy closer in appearance to a hive tyrant. It feels like it could morph itself into a new one to lead a swarm of its own, kinda like a xenomorph praetorian mutating into a queen. And the magenta ink? *chef's kiss* Perfection.

[Jumbucker]

Unleash the spores! I love how you managed to really make this guard non-derpy. I dub it "The undying stalker", a plague on a rural human population.

[andystocking]

Unleash the spores! It is amazing how Greenstuff can help re-pose old metal minis.

[Viskovitz]

isn't that the biovore that Juan Diaz sculpted? Fun fact, the first game I played WH40K was in the store where Juan worked before he was hired as a sculptor. Basically, he was the one who taught me how to play my first game.

Unleash the spores! I love the conversion dude! I'm only just getting into the hobby so seeing such creativity is really inspirational in respect of just how much fun you can get out of this hobby

[roymunstermann]

Unleash the spores! As a name for the tyrant guard I would like to suggest "The chitin cobra", it turned out great!

[emerdoodsmayonnaise]

UNLEASH THE SPORES! Honestly I love this video and the work you did, I have a soft spot for the Tyranids from this era, I love the aesthetic of trying to move from goofy rogue trader to manacing galaxy eater but the non commitment they put in to it

[adventchaos]

I think it's possible the locals might call it The Flesh Harvester, possibly due to the Tyranid rotating through villages like they were crops. Whatever you choose, adding a little local lore is always fun. Unleash the spores!

[Thecheerioatsguy]

Unleash the Spores! I kinda imagined "The Splitter" could be a fun name given it's new-found ability to "split" it's shield in two for ease of use, as well as the many ways it can "split" someone open with it's arsenal! Although, giving it a super mundane name like "Humphrey" would be hilarious. Imagine telling your local PDF that Humphrey just destroyed a leman russ outside.

[MDstyee]

UNLEASH THE SPORES!! Awesome job bringing such life back to a retro model! Also maybe a name for him could be the Lashed Loner- playing off that backstory you gave him and his whips

[katoshithedevilofthetenthh]

I think the Tyranid should be named something like: The Carmine Stalker, wich applies to the color scheme and it helps with the creeping in the shadows.

Unleash the spores!

[unsungzen]

Unless the spores!! That hive guard has been one of my favorites for as long as I've known about the nids. You sir took a model I loved and made it a spicy little killer. SSS+

[SquizmWizzerd]

Unleash the spores! That magenta made it look real neat.

[Chris-cvyh]

I love the old pewter hive tyrant. I use one as a tyranid prime because it differentiates from the warrior models better.

[TypoS]

Unleash the spores! The mini ended up kick ass, mostly that tail which I am jealous off xD.

Well played sir.

[jvaleri]

Unleash the spores! Also, I love that you're upping your use of inks into your painting.

[arandommantotallynotnamedd]

Unleash the spores! I personally liked the zaney look of the old rouge trader tyranids, it made them unusual and even more alien while being goofy.
