The Clementine Carnivore would be a fitting name. Unleash the spores!
I would like to see a Primaris Space Marine painted in a retro style. See some crazy 2nd or 3rd ed paint schemes on an intercessor

There is a guy on KZread who did it looks really cool
What a transformation! One thing I really dig is how the tail and the horn bring this guy closer in appearance to a hive tyrant. It feels like it could morph itself into a new one to lead a swarm of its own, kinda like a xenomorph praetorian mutating into a queen. And the magenta ink? *chef's kiss* Perfection.
Unleash the spores! I love how you managed to really make this guard non-derpy. I dub it "The undying stalker", a plague on a rural human population.
Unleash the spores! It is amazing how Greenstuff can help re-pose old metal minis.
isn't that the biovore that Juan Diaz sculpted? Fun fact, the first game I played WH40K was in the store where Juan worked before he was hired as a sculptor. Basically, he was the one who taught me how to play my first game. #UnleashTheSpores!
Unleash the spores! As a name for the tyrant guard I would like to suggest "The chitin cobra", it turned out great!
UNLEASH THE SPORES! Honestly I love this video and the work you did, I have a soft spot for the Tyranids from this era, I love the aesthetic of trying to move from goofy rogue trader to manacing galaxy eater but the non commitment they put in to it
Unleash the spores! I love the conversion dude! I'm only just getting into the hobby so seeing such creativity is really inspirational in respect of just how much fun you can get out of this hobby
Unleash the Spores! I kinda imagined "The Splitter" could be a fun name given it's new-found ability to "split" it's shield in two for ease of use, as well as the many ways it can "split" someone open with it's arsenal! Although, giving it a super mundane name like "Humphrey" would be hilarious. Imagine telling your local PDF that Humphrey just destroyed a leman russ outside.
UNLEASH THE SPORES!! Awesome job bringing such life back to a retro model! Also maybe a name for him could be the Lashed Loner- playing off that backstory you gave him and his whips
Unleash the spores! That magenta made it look real neat.
I think it's possible the locals might call it The Flesh Harvester, possibly due to the Tyranid rotating through villages like they were crops. Whatever you choose, adding a little local lore is always fun. Unleash the spores!
Unleash the Spores! Love your work. i often find myself listening to your videos whilst painting. currently working through your backlog
Unleash the spores! Also, I love that you're upping your use of inks into your painting.
Really cool conversion, super enjoy seeing old kits get some upcrafting. Stay awesome.
Unleash the spores! The mini ended up kick ass, mostly that tail which I am jealous off xD. Well played sir.
Unleash the spores! I love how that blue/orange turned out!
Unless the spores!! That hive guard has been one of my favorites for as long as I've known about the nids. You sir took a model I loved and made it a spicy little killer. SSS+
in the dark corners of the planet, there are murmurs, rumours, hushed whispers - of a monster... Tales told by teenagers around campfires, bedtime horror stories told by children's fathers when their mother is too tired to read them normal bedtime stories, the tales all speak of a horror beyond comprehension, an ancient evil that prowls the surface of the world, a monster who's very cry could send people who hear it insane... the name of this monster you ask? Larry.
Unleash the spores! giving that old rusty Bug a major overhaul! Well done.
This is so cool your vids always help with painting inspiration.
As a Tyranid player I really enjoyed this, I feel compelled to "unleash the spores!"

I can’t believe I actually won I never win anything lol
Unleash the spores! I personally liked the zaney look of the old rouge trader tyranids, it made them unusual and even more alien while being goofy.
UNLEASH THE SPORES!!!! That paint job is amazing, it's the same colour as the cans of Irn-Bru here in Scotland, this will forever be know here as the Irn-Bru Guard
awesome. always good to see you working on eavy metal. i think i would have used the Dremel with a fine tip. or just a tip to add extra details to the shell to bring it up to the same grungy details they had in the artwork. again great work jay. will be back on channels soon just been unwell lately.
Very nice vide. I have a 2001 Tyranid Battleforce Box that was gifted to me and I been dying to paint them. This gave me a ton of inspiration.
Unleash the spores! Thanks for being great to listen to while I hobby!
Enjoyed the painting vid as ever - Keep them coming!
Great paint job, really liked the final steps with the magenta. UNLEASH THE SPORES!!
Love these kinda of vids Jay! Really encouraging to try sonething like that myself. :) Thanks! UNLEASH THE SPORES!
WOW, awesome job. Love the choice of colors you used. It would have fit in during rogue trader days.
Nice work you have made a bad model into the coolest Tyrinid model I’ve ever seen
Unleash the spores !!! Well done; both kitbashing and painting, awesome result !
Unleash the spores! The perfect video to watch while finishing up painting my tyranid mawloc and genestealer cult iconward, plus i love biovores too. Just the idea of a ton of biovores sounds like so much fun to me
Unleash the Spores!! Great kitbash :) love revamping old school models ;) awesome paint job too! :)
That’s really awesome dude, great work!
Great videoMan. Love the paint job.
UNLEASH THE SPORES! I feel dirty watching you chop up that pewter hive guard, the metal hive guard was actually one of the first tyranids I ever collected…. Oh the memories
Great vid. The edit was 👌
I think the Tyranid should be named something like: The Carmine Stalker, wich applies to the color scheme and it helps with the creeping in the shadows. Unleash the spores!

Personally, I think Dave works better.
Great work on bringing that hive tyrant kicking and screaming into the modern day. Unleash the spores!
Unleash the Spores! Its great to see you still excited and positive about the hobby, hard to find that these days!
That was a great salvage piece! love how you breathed new life into something that may have never seen the table or a shelf. ;)
"BLUE AND ORANGE!" I gasp as I look at my Deep blue flesh and Fiery chitinous flyrant with a cork layered jungle basing scheme sitting triumphantly on the shelf next to me. Magenta with a yellow glaze is how I did mine!
Remember seeing the plastic minis coming to shelves, niceto see the metal sculpts getting some love again.
Unleash the spores! Good work on the Tyrant Guard! The colors turned out pretty good in the end! I have some of these too and used the current plastic guard arms on mine to update them and removes those wonky-looking shields and weapons!
Unleash the spores! Love the models. You always make your painting look so easy and so, SO good.
I love the old pewter hive tyrant. I use one as a tyranid prime because it differentiates from the warrior models better.
Unleash the spores!!! Love the videos, one of the highlights of my week 😁
Unleash the Spores! I have 3 of those tyrant guards in my army... wish I had seen this before I painted them up lol. You did an excellent job!
Thank you for the videos that you do. Clearly you put a lot of work into them. I'm new to warhammer and looking to start Tyranids. I'll take any chance I get to have more models. Keep up the great work!
This was an awesome paint job I have a bunch of tyranids painted yellow and purple exactly how you did i thought that was such an awesome coincidence lol Unleash the spores
Unleash the spores! Honestly amazing how you made this model look newer just with some adjustments.
Unleash the spores! Great video. I am really impressed by the updated pose and paint job!
The separated shield makes the whole model way more dynamic. Unleash the spores!
It’s a tyrant guard 🥺 Watching this video unlocked a memory of 10 year old me walking into a gamesworkshop for the first time and being instantly hooked on the Tyranids.
Unleash the spore! Amazing paintjob. Really inspired to keep workibg on my army bit by bit
As a kid, this really inspired me, even if I don't have a big enough allowance to get all the bits to kitbash things like this, I still say unleash the spores!
Unleash the Spores! Fantastic work on both the converting and the paintjob! I especially like the idea of splitting the shield. I hope you make a video of your tyranid kill team project.
Great conversion on that old Tyrant Guard!! I would LOVE to add those Biovores to my swarm!! Unleash the spores!!
UNLEASH THE SPORES These pyrovores will make an excellent addition to my collection... said in General Grievous voice. : )
Unleash the spores! You need to fill your Tyranid blind spot as the Nids are the way forward. Really enjoying your vids as you actually seem to enjoy what you do, it makes a refreshing change.
This video has made me pretty happy having uncovered my own 2nd edition Tyranid army (yes, shamefully almost completely unpainted) in my mother's attic a few weeks ago. Complete with that great Hive Tyrant and a Screamer Killer, plus 3 of those upright plastic warriors, one of which has snapped at the waist under the weight of the spare barbed strangler from the tyrant I'd inexpertly attached to its right side arm sockets...
Unleash the spores! Great video here. I love the adding of magenta at the end it really pulled the model together
UNLEASH THE SPORES!!!! Great work man!!!
UNLEASH THE SPORES! I love this video so much, it is cool to see an old hammer become such a good new model
Unleash the spores!! Always happy when EOB drops a new video and they are killing it!
I remember when 5e nids dropped. It's still crazy watching people lament the age of the models, after having played and painted nids during the in-between period. Ye Olde Old One Eye was a thing to behold.
Sick job bringing some life to this retro mini! Unleash the spores!
Dude I was laughing my ass off at the contact between the models and artwork edit 😂 nicely done.
I have a tyranid army I bought in 05. I could definitely use them to Kickstart me actually assembling and painting mine. So unleash the spores!
Unleash the Spores!! This would be an awesome gift to a friend who is a Nids player but I might just wanna keep it for myself since it is a Jay piece!!
Tyranid Warspex for the name. Unleash the spores!
Unleash the spores! Loved this video and have actually got this mini unpainted in a Tyranid pile. This inspires me to change the model up a bit as well.
Unleash the spores! Really liked the colour scheme! I remember when I first got Spacehulk & all the gene stealers were blue plastic so I just painted heads & hands pink! Have fun with building your kill team. 🛠️
Ahh right in the nostalgia. Also good to know the editions I used to play in! Started with 3rd and played until 5th, I remember the codex and models but didn't recall the edition numbers.
I haven't bought a or painted a mini yet but I got into your painting videos and now I wanna Unleash the spores!
Unleash the spores! Great video as always jay, I’ve never seen this model before so it was a great introduction to a pretty cool model!
UNLEASH THE SPORES!!! Tyranids always seemed like a cool army to me but those old sculpts have such a fun style with how derpy they are
Excellent music choices for the vid
I could totally use those Biovores. I actually submitted my first painted metal Biovore to you guys when used to do the EoB Complete segments. Either way - kick ass kitbash!
Great video Jay. Call it Agent Orange and unleash the spores!
Besides the great conversion, this video counts as an excellent Tyranids paint scheme on its own. Well done.
Unleash the spores! Love these snapshots into classic 40k before I joined the hobby. Keep it up!
Unleash the Spores! Great work! About to start working on a genestealer kill team myself. Going to use a colorshift metal for the body to get a beetle like look.
Unleash the spores! Absolutely loved the paint job, I might use it for my own tyranids.
Unleash the spores! Love the video man, I cant get enough of old minis.
Unleash the Spores! Awesome video as always! :)
Unleash the spores!! Man that is such an awesome conversion and paint scheme! I have one of those kicking around some where I want to pull out and have a go at converting now 🤔
Just getting into this hobby, so unleash the spores! Amazing videos that are truly inspiring even if I cannot do the same level!
Unleash the spores! The painting is amazing! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Ah, this brings back memorys 😁 well done! Unleach the spores!
Unleash the spores! Love the color scheme and the cutting of the shield and adding the tail was a great idea. Great work keep it up
Unleash the spoooooooooores!! Great paint job on that 'Nid BTW 👍
Unleash the Spores! I am starting a Tyranid army and I love the idea of having a billion spore mines fired from biovores upon the enemy!
I went with blue and orange for my Tyranid kill team too... but yours look better. Good stuff!
I also think yinz "oldhammer" videos are the best. Much love for old minis, but EVERYONE seems to try to give them a same style glow-up like it's 1998. Seeing someone take these old minis and give them modern paint jobs or even conversions is awesome.
That model looks so much better with that widened stance, Unleash the spores!
