Hey, does anyone know how you could make a Tyranid ammo crate/ammo supply in a cityfight? Maybe something growing out of the ground or something?

Tyranid weapons are biological and symbiotic, so ammo supply might be simplified to a matter of providing sufficient energy/nutrients to the weapon symbiote. Some kind of spawning pool? A specialised mycetic spore pod? A capillary tower? Some kind of beetle hive with new larvae to insert into weapon symbiotes? A modified Tervigon designed to poop out various ammo types (that might be a bit big though)?

instantly made me think

yh, ok, they are good ideas, probably a small thing tho, like a pool or something you mentioned, thanks

Or a small pile of dead Guardsmen to feast on

oooh! if you wanna get advanced, make a spiderweb with people from different races cocooned in it, like how spiders save their food for later. Like Frodo was cocooned! That'll give them the energy they need to fire more shots.
