I'm only about only 60 gants, 8 stealers, and 4 elite-types into my Tyrannids, but these beasties are a friggin hoot to put together.

Coming from Necrons, the pose variability is off the chain. And 4 arm-sockets that fit everything (so far as I can tell)? Conversion Valhalla. I haven't even touched any of the big boys yet

The number of models needed to make points is pretty daunting, but at least its fun to do!

They *are* pretty good, however, the pose on the bigger models particularly is pretty fixed. Can be adjusted, but generally the back legs of the larger models will be static - Tervigons for example; only really one way to do them.

The front legs though are all swappable - I have a supply of them, all sorts, all magnetized to be able to swap in and out of any of my appropriate MCs.

I do love painting my bugs, I find them a lot faster and easier than other armies.

Regarding the limited poses, on some models I have managed to make minor variations (cut and bent tails, different stances) but overall this is limited.

I think my most dynamic was my three crones/harpies (two are complete) are all in different poses in flight...this was a challenge, but I wanted them to not all look the same.

best of luck and have fun!!!
