I have always wanted to build big ass, unique, super detailed, fighting robots, but until now haven’t had the instance were inspiration meets an idea and idea meets the rules. Well the Transformers movie, with the super neat, individualistic robots, meets my stash of Gundam kits brought from Tokyo, meets lots of plasticard, kit bashing from GW ranges (Tau, Marines, Eldar, Defilers), and the Tyranid codex!! All of this is wrapped in to visuals that are most to my liking and a realistic style.
A new machine race of technological superiority, from the outer reaches of the galaxy, who maybe even modelled their warrior-kins after the genetically engineered Tyranid Killing Machines. Now they've found traces of civilisation that worships a "machine god" on a planet entirely devoted to understanding and manufacture of technology. Tactical War and Reconnaissance Systems have been dispatched as the main fleet is mobilising.
I always wanted a free canvas to play with, where rules and kits would be a starting point, an inspiration and the end product and the visuals would be my own unrestricted vision. Some projects you do for competitions, some for tournies, some to show you can do this or that, some to please someone...this one is purely for the kid in me, and the kind of work I love to do.

Hey Mig!
This is a great idea, esp as I am working on a 'removed from GW' IP Tau force at the moment. I am slightly confused as to what the links between Tyranid and Mech are though? Are the TWAR biological or mechanical lifeforms? Are they on a similar basis to Tau? Is the TWAR only part of a bigger civilisation? How do you plan to layer the army list?
and a LOT more questions besides- in short, can you provide a clearer/ fuller background/ vision for the race?
