Tyranids. Look them up.

You may have your opinion, but just because you don't share the same view, doesn't give you the right or reason to shoot down other people's ideas. If some people want to see the Xenomorphs in the 40k universe despite you thinking they're "boring", you have no right to tell them otherwise.

By the way, I hate to tell you, but without Giger and his design of the Xenomorphs, there would be no Tyranids (at least none that are close to those we have today). Giger made everything that the Xenomorphs are, and by default, everything (aesthetically) the Tyranids are.

P.S. I find it hilarious how worked up you're getting when someone calls you out on something that could be easily settled in a civil manner.

Sarcasm is apparently lost on you.

I'm very much aware of the influence that the Xenomorphs had on Tyranids, thanks. I'm also aware of the influence that Robert Heinlein's description of the 'Bugs' had on that same design(when was the last time you saw Xenomorphs carrying guns?)

I'm just saying there's no reason to bring another 'hive' based alien race into the mix, considering the similarities between Tyranids, the Bugs from SST, and the Xenomorphs.

Well I could fall back on my thought of Borg...A hiveminded Necron like army!

How about some clasics

I would actually love to see something akin to the Borg added to the Necron army list. A unit that 'turns' the enemy into one of its own.

Kanluwen wrote:Do a barrel roll?

Oh, too bad that Nid just ate you Star Fox.

I never really played Star Fox that much. I played like...a level. And that damn frog wouldn't shut up.

Xenomorphs, ok, so you guys are just thinking standard way Aliens, now imagine this, queen sneaks onto a Space Marine held world, face hugger go in, faces get humped, Aliens will be massive, cause we know what happened with preds, now we got supa humans getting even more superized. Also, ORKALIEN! fungal spreading xenomorphs! or... FISHALIEN i mean tau... I mean, the options for xenomorphs aren't limited to impregnating humans, Hybrid species ftw.

Ok, now for Predator, are we all forgetting that they will probably have the best functioning plasma weapon featured in any race? Not to mention weapons made of nigh indestructable materials wich would more then dent a set of power armor. And don't forget, they have Space ships with cloaking capabilities, eat that Imperium.

Other race I'd loven to see.... Bugs from Starship troopers for the slaughtery fun...

Covenant would be fun for all the obvious reasons... though they are very Tau like in the whole multiple races under one banner way... And I want to see Hunters fighting nids....

Mass Effect reapers :3 though that would be kind of game over...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_species_in_the_Mass_Effect_universe#Reapers ( for the un knowing)

The modifications to the Space Marine physiology aren't inheritable traits, so you wouldn't have "Xenomarines".

Actually they are, since their actual DNA is altered through the progenoid glands etc. Though I agree that the extra organs that are just implanted and such won't be inheritable.

While the progenoid gland does modify their DNA, the vast majority of the REST of the alterations are done surgically.

GW did plastic Daleks in the 1980s.

I had a box, I have no idea where it is now, sadly.

Black Tree Design do a range of 28mm Dr Who models but the Daleks are bloody expensive.

I'd like to see the "lizardmen in space idea", but I'd rather if their appearance was similar to Bossk (From star wars). A sort of technologically adept race, more scientifically minded than the Imperium, but not as sleek as the Tau. There's alot of cool vehicle disign asthetic to be explored that is not As gothic/spikey as Imperium and DE, as polished as Tau/eldar, or as rough as Ork.

The Mangalores from 5th element would be a good choice also. They are a bit orc'ish, but as they aren't hunched, have a much less bulky apperance and weapons, and a different coloration, it wouldn't be hard to make them significantly un-orcish.

You're just saying you're right and everyone else is wrong. You may not think theres a reason to have another hive-based-race, but obviously some people do, so stop bringing peoples' ideas down, as you have no right or reason to do so. Your sarcasm was recognized, bro. However, it came off as extremely rude and condescending.

P.S. I still find it hillarious how worked up you're getting over this...
