You know you're a Tyranid player when..

[Hive Bahamut]

There are many versions of this but why not one for our Eusocial extragalactic bioforms?

You know you're a Tyranid player you constantly refer to your food as biomass.

.. You have taken the idea of reincarnation to a whole new level.

.. Sometimes at work you stop to think, and don't necessarily remember to start again, until someone important comes by to check on things.

.. The idea of a bath/shower is about as close to getting clean as it can possibly get, considering your body is completely reformed.

You have at least once in your gaming days said "scree." Without exactly knowing why, or what it meant.

[Yautja]

Compliment your opponent's well painted models as looking rather tasty

[zoat]

... you always say "Hivemind!" when someone has the same thoughts as you.

I totally do this.

[tarrasque]

You have to actively resist the urge to kill your co-workers whenever your boss is away.

[mattblowers]

...when you refer to shooting your flyers missiles as "flinging your testaclids". I'm so used to this I said it in passing to a new opponent last night and he said "What the (please do not swear) did you just say?!"

[akiranid]

Your automatic first answer to any problem is "send in the swarm"

[chuckles]

Your unthinking response to someone saying "My army's getting a new codex!" is to say "I am so sorry"

There aren't THAT many nid players...

[zoat]

... you sit on the toilet constipated and think: "Damn, that doubles!"

That completely took me of guard and I laughed out loud.

I need to buy a Crone, apparently.

WHEN YOU USE A FLESHBORER HIVE!!!

[macdaddyt]

When you make cat noises (like the ones from Monty Python and the holy grail pleague town scene) whenever a gant/gaunt gets killed. I can't resist making that sound when a gribble gets smashed by a PK/PF etc.

[omnivore]

When you say "When a gant dies the Hive Mind sheds a tear..."

[WestRider]

when you communicate only in hisses, chittering clicks, and blood-chilling screams during games

[Remalis]

When you refer to any shooting action as 'tenderizing' your opponent.

Enemy units are referred to as 'food'

Troublesome Enemy units are 'spicy food

Enemy units in transports are 'canned food'

A Carnifex is called a Can-Opener

Mobs of enemy units are 'family packs'

Jet pack units are 'Fast food'.
