Hi everyone,
After being quite inspired by some of the Hive Fleet armies within our community, I've finally taken inventory of my army and I am going to take on the challenge to paint/repaint all of it.
I have played several different types of lists with my army and haven't been very happy with how the Tyranids went from the Imperial Devourer to a random race that can be exterminated at the whim of most other races.
I apologize for the poor quality pictures; I thought the iPad2 would have done a better job :-(.
Owned models:
2 4th ed. Hive Tyrants (One with wings that I may convert to a harpy)
2 5th ed. Hive Tyrants (One converted to a Swarmlord)
1 Tyranid Prime conversion
1 Deathleaper
1 Old One Eye
1 Trygon (modeled as prime)
4 Venomthrope
4 5th ed. Biovores
1 4th ed. Biovore
3 5th ed. Raveners
3 4th ed. Raveners
3 converted Raveners (from warrior models—might turn them into shrikes)
2 4th ed. Zonethrope
3 5th ed. Zonethrope
3 5th ed. Carnifex models
1 4th ed. Carnifex converted into Tyrannofex
22+ Termagants with Devourers
25+ Termagants with Fleshborers
25+ Termagants with Spinefists
24+ Hormagaunts
1 Malefactor
3 5th ed. Tyrant guard
16 Tyranid Warrors w/ various loadouts (likely will be converting some to shrikes.)
50+ Genestealers (5-6 5th ed. models, 3-4 3rd ed. Models)
2 Broodlords
2 lictors (1 new model, one 4th ed.)
25+ ripper bases
25+ spore mines
In the near future, I’m picking up:
6 Genestealers w/ Sc. Talon, 24 Termagaunts w/ Fl. Borers, 24 Hormagaunts, 9 Warriors w/ Sc. Talons and Rend. Claws 3 Raveners w/ Rend. Claws, 1 Hive Tyrant w/ Sc Talons and Twin Devourers, 1 Carnifex with 2x Sc Talons, 1 Biovore w/ 3 spore mines,1 Limited Ed Lictor, 1 Zoanthrope, 6 Ripper Swarms
Now for the pics (again sorry for the bad pics)
Essentially, what I’m looking for is some feedback into how I can improve my army…I mean obviously I need to paint it, which is going to take a REALLY LONG TIME but I would like to know what else I should think about getting.
If it helps at all, my typical 1500 list is:
Tyranid prime w/dual BS, deathspitter, and Regen
Tervigon w/ Cluster spines, AG/TS, Catalyst
10 Termagants
10 Genestealers w/TS
15 Genestealers w/TS
2 Carnifex w/ Stranglethorn cannons
3 Hive Guard
1 Venomthrope
3 Biovores
Thanks ahead of time!

I'm bad....I had them painted at one point, then got to priming them, then picked up more models 
It's fast and better than a grey tide, but you won't win any awards.
