Here is my first Tyranid cruiser analog, species: Pyromaw. I constructed this using a 'Nid Warrior body, with devourer muzzles sculpted base-to-base for the prow pyro-acid battery, & biomorphs for the broadside acid glands. The front boarding torpedo launchers are Termagaunt spinefists. I decided this model was tapering too thin towards the aft, so I carved-up Warrior thighs to create a pair of biological 'engine' or thruster equivalents. Finally I added the hook to the tail using a 'Gaunt claw.
My future Tyranid cruisers will follow this same basic pattern, with different bio-weapon configurations. I plan to build another Pyromaw to boost the medium-range firepower (unfortunately the only long-range is from pyro-acid-armed hiveships) of my Hivefleet, then get to work on an assault variant cruiser...
