I'd love to see even GW's lawyers put together a case trying to claim similar-to-Tyranids as their own intellectual property. If it could be done, they would have when the Zerg arrived. They are just too generic for GW to manage it.

That was one of my first thoughts, but the more I look at it, the more I keep expecting it to start screaming "WARES MAH BUKKIT!". Ugg. I need to lay off the meme's for awhile. It's gonna start affecting my social life.

You're not alone. I love the current Tyrant Guard models. They are everything Tyrant Guard should be - giant lumps of armour and flesh who's only purpose in life is to get between the Hive Tyrant and the things trying to kill it.

The only problem I have with the current Tyrant Guard is that they're too small. They're meant to be bodyguards for the Tyrant, but they're so small that realistically anyone could just aim at the Tyrant instead, while the Tyrant Guard hobble along at knee-height.

They'd look great...if they were taller- I just don't see how a (comparitively) small bodyguard could defend something else so tall on a battlefield.

I agree they should be giants (thats how i converted them) I disagree the tiny GW pee wee models cover more than the Hive tyrant legs and genitalia

Tyrant guard aren't really meant to do much they are just meant to be a wall of armour carapace infront of tyrants. Which is what i think this current tyrant guard does best lots of carapace armour on a small model.

I like them too, much better than 3rd edition Guard.

Looks like a mirelurk from Fallout 3.

It does look alot like a mirelurk. That is kinda funny
