Hey Hive! I've recently come back to the hobby and I'm planning on painting all my Tyranids and other 40k miniatures. I have realized that my collection is pretty large and after painting everything I could probably ( finances permitting) buy at least 2 of every unit/ MC I don't already have. I'm curious as to how my army stacks up to the rest of the Hives and just in general seeing what everyone collects. How many/what models do you have in your swarm and how much of that is painted/built? Do you have any goals to finish your collection or will you just keep buying forever? I currently have ( estimate since a lot is in bits/broken) Nothing has paint 200 Termagants | 50 Hormagants | 100 genestealers | 6 Rippers | 30 Warriors | 4 Flyrants | 2 Hive Tyrants | 2 Swarmlords | 2 Neurothropes | 2 malanthropes | 3 Broodlords | 3 Primes | 1 tervigon | 7 Hive Guard | 7 Zoanthropes | 4 Venomthropes | 6 Tyrant Guard | 30 Gargoyles | 50 Spore mines | 3 Biovores | 8 carnifexes | 1 Exocrine | 2 Mawlocks | 6 Trygons/primes | 1 Tyranofex | 1 Tyranocyte | 1 Heirophant | 1 Harridan 6 Raveners |
Can't wait to see how many of our members have swarms that dwarf mine. Better yet if anyone has something around this size or bigger that is actually fully painted I'd love to see a pic. Even the great devourer cannot outrun the grey tide! ~ KingPram

My swarm totals about 10-11k. I have about 3k painted. Most I got second hand with about 60-70% being from one sale. I've been playing nids/40k for about 3.5 years. I probably missed some things here or there as I use battle scribe to note what I own and they update formats now and again.
2x broodlord 2x flyrant 2x walkrant 2x malanthrope 2x tervigon 1x swarmlord 2x neurothrope 1x tyranid prime 1x old one eye
100x genestealers 60x hormogaunts 120x termagaunts 18x warriors 24x rippers (not all assembled)
1x deathleaper 1x lichtor 1x pyrovore 1x red terror 3x hive guard 3x tyrant guard (the old metal ones. I usually use them as warriors) 8x zoanthropes 6x venomthropes 1x maleceptor
27x gargoyles 5x mucolid spores 9x raveners (ish they're count as) ~60x sporemines (any time I bought something second hand, I got 10 or more of them)
1x biovore ~8x carnifex (some are the old metal ones and unassembled) 1x really old exocrine 3x mawloc/trygon 3x tyrannofex
2x sporocysts

Bearing in mind I haven't updated my master list with the current point costs, Its about 22k in 8th ed points. I say about, as I think you could add on 2k at least with sensible upgrades on top of that. I own everything except the rogue trader 'protonid' model. I can run decent sized armies for all editions in their own edition and the current edition (not saying a rogue trader only model list will be very effective though!). I also have all the Forgeworld USA licensed resin models. I have, er, a lot. All fully painted of course. If anybody wants me to total up the number of models, I can do later.
*edit: swarmlord 10 tyrants 2 tervigons 2 primes 4 brrodlords malenthrope neurothrope old on eye
13 tyrant guard 11 hive guard deathleaper 8 lictors 12 zoanthropes maleceptor 6 venomthropes 3 pyrovores 3 haruspexes red terror
9 carnifex 9 biovores 2 trygons mawloc 2 exocrines toxicrine stonecrusher 2 tyrannofex

3 muculid spores 12 shrikes 18 ravenors 8 skyslashers 43 gargoyles 3 miotic spores dimacheron lots and lots and lots of spore mines
harpy crone 2 tyrannocytes and 6 kitbashed ones from toy eggs (5th ed madness i think) 2 sporecysts
B heirodule S heirodule harridan heirophant
2 broodnests spore chimney capillary towers
malefactor (counts as another tervigon) dactylis (counts as another tyrannofex)
Plus all the genecult patriarchs and stealers that could come back across if needed. (25 stealers, 3 patriarchs)

I used to have more, this is what I have.
Termagants 180 Zoanthropes 6 Neurothrooes 3 Malanthropes 2
Pretty skimpy. Need to get my 6 hiveguard again at least for sure. I also need some rippers. Maybe a Trygon for delivery. I'll be content after that.
I had way more and my exwife destroyed or sold it. Super depressing.

Below is mine. Finished painting in 2018. Since then I have added 5 more carnifex, 3 venomthrope, 2 toxicrene, another exocrine, 2 haruspex, 6 nuerothropes, and a tervigon. I still need to finish painting 3 neuros, 2 carnifex, 1 haurspex, and the tervigon. They are all at least base coated but I have run out of mojo for 40K atm.

Thank you man, because we do like to see pictures of epic tyranid armies. this is mine but it has more than ten years, i got a lot more but no painted so no photo. cult genestealer extra, again it hasd more than 10 years so i got a lot of minis in boxes to mount and paint. my deviant art below, if anyone want to see my armie's old pictures. Its one of the best places to host images. lander's deviant art
