As I Tyranids player I often wonder what the Hive Ships look like.

There isn't any art of them in the codex and I don't think they're playable in Battlefleet Gothic (correct me if I'm wrong).
Anyone know anything about Hive Ships, or artists who have drawn them? (Sometimes I imagine them as having massive mouths on the front to eat other ships, lol)

They are playable in BFG.

At time of writing, I was not in possession of a 5th edition codex, but a fourth edition one.
I wouldn't usually be this stubborn in arguing the point, but I look like a complete prat if it's in the codex and I post about it on dakkadakka.
