So after seeing that a potential Tyranid model update could be coming along, which models do you think go best together?

Here are all the models:
HQ:
-Hive Tyrant
-Swarmlord
-Tervigon
-Tyrant Guard
-Tyranid Prime
-Parasite of Mor'trex

Elite:
-Lictor
-Deathleaper
-Zoanthrope
-Doom of Malan'tai
-Hive Guard
-Ymgarl Genestealers
-Pyrovore

Troops:
-Tyranid Warrior
-Hormagaunt
-Termagant
-Genestealers
-Broodlord
-Rippers

Fast Attack:
-Shrike
-Ravener
-Gargoyle
-Harpy
-Sky-slasher swarm

Heavy Support:
-Carnifex
-Trygon
-Mawloc
-Biovore
-Tyrannofex

Key:
-Matching color = same kit
-Italics = no kit


The ones that I'd personally put together:
-Hive Guard and Tyrant Guard
-Pyrovore and Biovore
-Rippers and Sky-Slashers
-Hormagaunt and Termagant
-Zoanthrope and Doom
-Prime and Parasite (assuming they give more options to Prime)
-Harpy and Carnifex can potentially go together but it'd be a bit of a stretch.


Some are easier to see than others, but what do you guys think?

Hive guard and tyrant guard could easily be made similar.

Lictors could be made out of warriors

Biovore and pyrovore

Obviously shrike and prime components could go in with warriors.

Personally I think these rumours are a load of cobblers. Most of the nid range is well sculpted and recently they have only changed what they absolutely had to, what had hideous sculpts like raptors. As far as nids go the sculpts are all good. IMHO the only models I would change would be tyrant guard because they are ugly so and so's.

I want to see models for all the units in the codex before I see new sculpts, let's have a Doom a Parasite and critically a harpy.
