Fan-Tas-Tic great looking work here! What do you think about a dark purple and orange/brown wash? I think that would burst the awesomeness through the roof Edit: You've probably done the orange/brown wash already. You're just that good lol I did the brown wash I would have used a darker purple if I already had it but what doesn't show up in the photos there is a lighter/bluish purple highlight on the carapace. Thanks for the complements and suggestions.

Even though I follow this board, I somehow missed this, and only now came across it on a Google search.
The concept is solid. The body and sculpted bits look great. They are perfectly servicable, and they match your painted forces well.
I have two constructive criticisms on the project, and they are both about the armored segments:
The Armor plates look unfinished. The rest of the model is very organic and well done, but the armor plates still look like thin card. The "purple worm" technique of hot gluing over a slightly more detailed cut could vastly improve this.
Secondly, this is more of a 40K lore/aesthetic nitpick, but Tyranid armor plates come is sets of 5. They Tyranocyte has 4 larger plates with a smaller 5th one on top. Mechanically it's not important, but it's been a consistant design feature since they shifted over to the modern plastics.
On the Tyrannocyte the prevalence number 5 also spills over into the number of guns, armored limbs, and ventral tentacles on the GW model
Again though, they look good overall. Have they seen any tabletop use ? Any game tips for their use ?

Yup I missed this one too, looks great, I wish GW still encouraged build your own stuff, like they use to. I have the older and newer terrain books that they came out with
