A Hive Mind awakens...Some old school 2nd Ed Tyranids

I have wanted a 2nd ed 40k tyranid force for a very long time. My first models for it were the genestealers from Space Hulk, and a lictor I bought at Intergalactic Trading Zone in the mid to late 90's.

 When a friend from the gaming group decided to give 2nd ed 40k a go, I jumped at the chance to paint up some. So here are my efforts, in the original schemes too.

 



You can't have a legal list without a Hive Tyrant. Picked up a metal one and fixed it up. Contrasts do a lot of heavy lifting here, but I really enjoyed the wet blending. Also my ancient lictor finally got some love it deserved after 30 years in my bits box.
I love the original hormaguants. I do want a lot more!
Some old metal warriors. Again, the blending was a lot of fun here. 
My force all ready to go. My Blood Angels are looking very hard pressed! I think they needs some reinforcements!
 

Anyways, thanks for looking. I do plan on taking photos of our game when we get round to it.
