As you all know GW has been very stingy with the amount of Rippers which they pack into Tyranid boxes making it very difficult to build several bases of them. Despite this I want to build those swarm bases anyway but I need to fill the bases with appropriate stuff. The Alien franchise introduced eggs from where the face huggers hatch. This could also work very well for 40K. So what kind of objects would represent eggs best? I was thinking about nuts. Green stuff could also work but my molding skills are not so good so I want to stick with objects instead.
I am not sure what you mean. Tyranid boxes also included these weird, flat, tentacled organisms with mouthes. I used them already to build "infestation markers" by using two of them on a 40mm base.

Thoughts?
They did some in White Dwarf years ago (IIRC they were Fat Bloke's), where the eggs were made from pistachio shells covered in varnish and a liberal application of UHU glue.

Thanks mate. What kind of UHU glue? They sell afaik two kinds of liquid UHU glues in Germany:
I remember the one they said to get (WRT drool on Tyranid minis) was to get the cheapest and stringiest one you can find so then you can tease it out with a toothpick after it starts to cure a bit.
