The infected marines could be genestealers, using the 40mm ones as broodlords. You could use guardsmen as normal 'stealers.

I love the idea and to tell the truth thought of it before but was to lazy :D I specifically thought of it when playing the warhammer related games that people make on starcraft.

On another note that I have wanted to rant on. GW really got the fluff right on the tyranids. I mean the zergs fluff I really don't like. Mostly because the overmind is sentient it can be made afraid and thus make others afraid. I beleive that a predator that you can't stop and can't negotiate with is much scarier then an opponent that all you have to do is cut off the overmind and its cerabrates and you win. That being said Blizzard definitely hit the nail on the head when it comes to looks. I think tyranids are too human in that way. I don't like how the tyranids are holding guns while the zerg are using muscle spazams to shoot spines and acid.

Rant finished

Keep up the great work I'm really looking forward to see more of this.

Blame the Xel'Naga for creating the overmind.

i love the fluff for zerg, that though the overmind is sentient, it can not control its own actions very much, it is a highly sentient being with no free will.

I know I'm not the best at greenstuffing but I think it works well enough.

Also will be painting a zergling at work! So expect to see that later too.

I used the exact same idea on the talons coming out of the backpack :D

I called mine "Terra Nids", before switching to "Swarm Marines".

Pictures can be found on the board somewhere... If interested, I'll post them later ;)

Not 100% sure about it but it looks close enough.

Hi, these are my Raveners. They are based on Hydralisk from SC2. I created for them Rending Talons. Sorry for bad quality, I´ll update with time, but I think you get the picture :)

@ KillerCroc I think the Hydras really need that raised spike that comes up behind their head. I love all your work on this so far. Dare you attempt an Ultralisk?

If you get the chance take a look at the Queen from SC2.. a lot of people have thought about making it into a tervigon

(It's not been a full 30 days since the last post so I honestly think this doesn't count as necro-ing a thread. If the mods decide that it is then i'm sorry about that.)

Now then. I simply must have a tutorial for the zergling scything talons. That is absolutely amazing!

Step 1: Take Hormagaunt Scything Talons
Step 2: Cut "hand" of at the joint
Step 3: swap left "hand" for right "hand" and position them
Step 4: done

its really just a horma talon that has had the talon part turned the other way around.
