Calling Uzi and all other elder hive minds.
Righty then, another one of my preparation posts.
Now if this is going to be a powergaming army of death, I want it to still be unique.
So the idea (regardless of whatever you have against it's whackyness, will go ahead, but please find holes in my fluff and help me fix 'em) Involves orks being crossbred with tyranids, whether this is from being too close to chaos, orky surjery, or natural infestation/mutation I'm not %100 sure yet, although orky surjery is looking good. These orks will still have their own minds, Their natural resistance to everything in the known galaxy stopping them from falling under the sway of the hivemind (I'm also not sure whether this slight touch with the hive mind should make these orks smart).
This army will "look" orky besides the large sets of claws and talons poking out everywhere.
Eh, as a general question, which units are actually TMCs? warriors are big but I got told they're not TMCs, confused.
-----------------
Army: for each unit I am planning to take I will give my ideas on conversion, help here is also appreciated on both the army composition and modelling.
Winged Hive tyrant: planning to kit him out with a bonesword and warp field as well as some scything talons and all sorts of CC upgrades. I plan on using ghazkull model to make what will ork/machine/nid mutation. But rather than wings I want him to have large rocket boostas. I'll need to cut off his gun hand and replace it with maybe a talon, or a large clawed hand. I think I will have the bonesword arm as one of his mutations along with some scything talons. Hmmm, but I still need a way to make him taller, any suggestions?
Broodlord and 10 retinue: Brood lord will be easier, just a nob model made taller, and then add the scything talons on rending claws which will make him a cheapish 70 points, although if there are anymore worthwhile upgrades tell me. His retinue which should all have scything talons and extended carapace upgrades, won't be hard either. Just a bunch of slugga boyz done the same way then spruced up with a lot of trophies, poses, killing enemies-of-different-races sort of thing. They'll need a sneaky camoscheme to. Although I'll also need to replace the guns with something else, suggestions?
2 Lictors: Hmm, I am thinking on the unmega armoured warboss models. They would be about the right height. Feeder tendrils are useless with out other models taking them? anyway, usual upgrades for the lictors attached. I will try to make them look like the genestealer boyz except bigger, like lone wolves or mavericks.
40 hormagaunts: Nothing special on these. Just 40 slugga boyz given scything talons. and something must be done with their guns. Umm, are there any upgrades that make em go faster? perhaps I'll need them.
Winged fighty warriors: Ummm, perhaps 5 with rending claws, scything talons and and toxin sacs as well. They should be around 200 points. But as of yet I haven't got much of an idea about the models, perhaps stormbyz? Bu they need to be bigger I think. Suggestions needed here.
Carnifex: Venom cannon, scything talons, reenforced chitin, extended carapace and enhanced senses.
That should round out my little beast. This guys out to scare the tanks and hopefully *chuckles evily* instant kill a daemon prince. He should round out a somewhat below 200 points. But modelling, he's gonna be one of those mega armoured nobz. I'm going to to make him stride across the battlefield on six large scything talons.

That's hopefully when I get the codex going to turn out around 1500 points. If I have made any gross miscalculations please let me know.
Hmm, might as well post a duplicate in the ork forums, see waht they've got to say.
