The centaur-like creatures aboard the large nomadic fleets dubbed "Hive Fleet Colossus" bore many similarities to other Tyranid hive fleets, but they had obviously encountered unique environs and thus evolved differently. Chief among these strange traits were their ability to make use of normal Tyranid weapon-symbiotes (although it seems that the process of equipping themselves with these bio-armaments is quite painful), and the unique talent of communicating telepathically with other organisms. Although the Colossi claimed to be slaves escaping some unnamed oppressor, these aliens turned on Imperial forces. Thus began the xenocidal 50-year Zorastra-Attila wars that ended with the destruction of the entire Hive Fleet Colossus.

Assembly – Tim: Overall, I wanted something very alien looking, but not too obviously Tyranid. The conversion was very simple – I made the lower half from a regular Dragon Ogre. For the top half, I used almost all of Krashrak the Stalker from the Inquisitor range, after trimming the bottom of his torso a bit.
