Ok so some people have been interested in seeing the Tyranids army I'm working on, so I'll start this log to post pictures of them 
So as my group have shifted to the new 8th edition of 40k (eight edition for life, it still fit on this board  ), I went with the flow and took my army out of retirement. Last time my 'Nids saw a battle was in 3rd edition, so they where due for an update!
Had to updated models, acquire new ones, change the colors scheme of the army since GW stole mine... So pretty much start again from the start, or close to it.
My army was old, a mix of 2nd and 3rd edition models, and I love my old goofy models so I decide to keep them and even add to them. So expect a mix of old school stuff in here
To start thing off, I made myself a flying Tyrant because apparently it's the bee's knees, but didn't played enough with him to see for myself.
Seen here with a pair of Devourers. All arms are magnetized so I can arm it with whatever I want down the road. The feet can serve as Rending Claws if needed, which the most likely combo for now.
As for the new paint scheme, I'm going with the classic Genestealers look of blue and purple, as I couldn't see them in any other colors but their iconic one. I'll try to get more pictures of what I have so far (new phone, hopefully better pictures!) and post them here soon!

Here’s hoping you have the classic (and for me the best) Carnifex model fro around the same era.

Yes, I have a 2nd edition Screamer Killer as well as three 3rd edition Carnifex (same era as the Tyrant above, those that look like a beetle). Picture will come soon once I have painted what I have on my workbench |

Yes, it looks great! Looking forward to seeing you complete your project or is it complete now? Oh no it's far from done! By my calculation I have about 6000pts so I have a lot more to paint! Thanfullythey are rather quick to paint, but I still have a good amount of troops so still a lot of models.
In the meantime, I just received my latest purchase for my bugs:
