Any suggestions?

I was thinking Nids or Orks...

I would go with Tyranids myself. I remember seeing some amazing work on this idea before.

Here it is. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/372779.page

I would say nids, they would represent them the best, what with the ability to create some of the larger monsters.

I was thinking of doing this also but my modelling skills are terrible.

Also since you will need lots of bladed parts etc, Nids would be a good choice anyways.

Also:

Slashers = Hormogaunts
Leapers = Ravenors
Lurkers = Rippers/Termagaunts
Swarmers = Rippers
Infectors = Gargoyles
Drag Tentacles/Pods = Spore Mines
Pregnant = Tervigon/Warrior
Brute = Carnifex
Guardian = Biovore
Hunter = Genestealers/Lictors
Wheezer = Venomthrope
Exploder = Pyrovore
Twitcher = Zoanthrope/Genestealers/Lictors

Just some ideas I was throwing around.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking... I have seen some great pics out there with conversions but not a whole army. It would take a very long time but I think I could do a 1000 pt list.

I also wanted to make a Necron army based on the Geth from Mass Effect.

God I wish I could convert stuff

Nids could definitely work, though I think that using Orks would not live up to that expectations.

I would have to suggest using the new CSM codex. The codex allows for an all-zombie list (providing you take Typhus), and along with some Chaos Spawn and a few Obliterators/ Mutilators, you could have a very devastating list. Look in my recently started threads, and you'll find that I made a thread on how to make a good zombie army work. You could find some inspiration from that.

DE Haemonculi list?

Wracks, grotesques and pain engines would fill at least some of the slots pretty well i think..

I bow down to that guys green stuff skills I could not come close to that.

I think tyranids make a great choice, plastics easy to convert and they already have the long blade arms.
