Hang on: hive fleet kantus

Sea Monsters.

My fleet is Hive Fleet Eurypterid (Sea Scorpion). Glossy Black Exo-Skeleton, Yellow Carapace, and Red Claws. Eyes, tongues and such are green, and bare skin is brown-red.

Hive Fleet Pandora.

Once it gets out, it spells trouble for all those who come into contact with it.

See my battle report links below for pictures of my space bugs.

Hive Fleet Manticore. Green bodies, brown shells.

Good names btw

Generally hive fleets tend to be named after mythical monsters, particularly ones of an aquatic or reptilian nature. Here are some example names:

Hive Fleet Gorgon
Hive Fleet Hydra
Hive Fleet Karkinos
Hive Fleet Fafnir
Hive Fleet Jormungandr
Hive Fleet Lamia
Hive Fleet Dullahan
Hive Fleet Bahamut
Hive Fleet Tiamat
Hive Fleet Cerberus

Just some suggestions

What does everyone think about the name Hive fleet Ouroboros?

Not bad, but..well I dunno to be honest I just imagine Hive Fleet Circles.

mine is titan.

simple color scheme. black 'skin', dark red carapace, green exposed 'muscle', white teeth, claws, and eyes.

Mine is Hive Fleet Wyvern.

Hive fleet Physalia, latin name for the man 'o war jelly fish.
Our toxic touch will entrap, and slowly devour you.

That is extremely cool!

I like Hive Fleet Xerxes (Persian King who fought the Greeks).

Ouroboros works quite well, particularly given that after defeating the population of a planet or when encountering another hive fleet, the Tyranids consume themselves to become more powerful. I'd personally give you bonus points if you take as many snake related 'nids, such as Trygons and Raveners, as possible.

Additionally, for your colour scheme, go with blue and a colour that isn't red. Despite the fact that one of the three 'big' hive fleets (Behemoth) has blue colouring, I rarely see 'Nids with any blue on them. Perhaps make the bone/scale blue with white 'skin'?

Hive Fleet Chimera

Purple shells, Orange-Yellow skin, red eyes, dark brown hooves and claws/talons.

No one knows when this fleet first showed up, but it seems to show characteristics of Hive Fleets, Leviathan, Behemoth and Medusa. There has also been evidence that the fleet is actually the result of parts of those fleets colliding into each other.
