given that they've been discovered an icy planet, you could call them Hive Fleet Jotunn

Poor Guardsman, this is epic. The blue and white is perfect for the winter/snow killteam board. Its like they have evolved for the terrain 👏👏

Definitely feel the name Hive Fleet Jötunn or Jötnar fits the theme and setting. As others in the comments have already suggested.

That's a really cool video and a nice color scheme! As for the name, I would suggest going with Hive Fleet Jötunn (the frost giants from Norse mythology). Would fit nicely with the GW naming convention :)

love how this turned from a kill-team painting video into a mini diorama. As a hive fleet name, how bout Hive Fleet Remorhaz? named after the d&d ice monstrosity that thrives in cold environs and has a somewhat similar colour scheme to your nids

Murey painting video letsgooo! Really excited to see where these nids end up in the campaign

Please do keep this video format. I loved seeing your thoughts and how everything slowly came together.

Hive Fleet Jötunn! Also maybe some ice-blue color on the exoskeleton would work as well? Like they've adapted to try and hide themselves as just more patches of ice but then they explode out of their powder cover to devour whatever prey they sensed

Loved this video, feel like we don't get to see Murray paint often.dose he have a personal channel ?

Murray, you're insane, and I'm here for it.

Those tyranids look really great in the snoerrr. It’s a really impressive effect…that snowrrr.

Murray has my favourite miniature painting stile from the TTT crew!

I love the way this turned out, especially how you turned a mistake into an advantageous feature of the diorama. Bio-Plasma or even Fleshborer shots. I love it. I would actually like to suggest Hive Fleet Karkinos, as Karkinos is a mythical giant crustacean that lives in colder waters. And the orange and black on bleached bone carapace actually makes me think of the Coconut Crab shell.

Coming here after watching "RAGTAG" on TTTR All I hear is Meiuriina in Murray's VOICE!!! AAAAAAHHH😄😅❤❤❤ GREAT video!!!

After you spent all that time openning up their maws I was sure you'd pose it with the guardsman's head enclosed or bitten off.

One of my favourite tabletop time vids. It was a nice change of pace with the style, and the end result is terrifyingly stunning. Idea for the name: hivefleet frostbite?

Great diorama. I really liked the format of the video. Getting some insight into the thought/creation process was outstanding. I especially like the little tips you threw you (hot water - nope, heat gun - nope, cut it apart - yeah, then, oh yeah, let's use a pin vise). Very inspirational.

Man that is just so dynamic...loved it. Well done sir.

Those turned out AMAZING! Murray's style always fits SO nicely with a more complex, and detailed base! That poor guard!! I've always liked the more thought-explained videos yall do! Seeing the process of changing color schemes, or poses, and the little details that may be left out is really nice! The process of trying to see what worked for changing their faces was really cool!

I cannot wrap my head around the way you paint, but the results are absolutely amazing :O

Hivefleet: Somnus (latin for "sleep" or "slumber", because they were in hibernation for years and years) Also I loved this format! Great to see you doing solo vids, Murray! (Murry?)

Awesome job mate, captures the essence of the terror factor with the way you painted them. Can't wait to see more

This was a lot of fun to watch, I'd love to see more mini dioramas like this.

Love this style of video. It's interesting to see how a project evolves over its course.

Hive fleet Jötunn seems to be the idea most used for the name, it looks horrifying

Always enjoy a peak into the Murray-verse. Its nice to take the ride with you and see where the models and ideas take you.

This looks awesome!! Ngl, there were multiple points in this video where I said, "Aw now he's ruined it" but it really came together in the end.

This narrative is so satisfying. From the hobby stuff to the story stuff, it’s everything I love about tabletop games!

Your painting style is so interesting and flavourful! I love it! Haha such interesting uses of colours! Very inspirational haha

This is such a cool way of doing this video, makes it more interesting, also please keep in fails/mis-adventures to allow us mere mortals know even near-gods mess up too. LOVE how the spray paint affected the foam, added a really cool texture, that was a fail better moment there! Gentle Hugs

Hive Fleet Jörmungandr would be a cool name. That or Apophis. I loved this type of video. We don’t often get a video where it’s just Murray and it’s really cool to watch his process. I would love to see more and will catch you in the next video.

I love this way of video. Murray its great to see the your 'brain' process its one of the things I struggle to find the colours that will work for me. This is great I hope we get loads more of this.

Great video. Did not expect where this would go and loved the ride.

Sick end result! I’m always happy to see someone’s process when doing anything It provides great insight and ideas, at least for myself anyway

I really love your creative and painting styles, I would like to see more videos of your work

Noice work Murray!! You always do cracking paint jobs mate.

Absolutely Fabulous!!! Completely captures the Nids.

amazing paint job, amazing style of video!

this was a great video. Loved the insight into Murrays method

Love the final color scheme!

Amazing little diorama! And yeah, this video format is entertaining to watch so, keep at it I say.

I loved this!! Your underpainting and the way you blended the colors is just *chefs kiss* Hive Fleet name ideas: Lurking/Permafrost Brood, for how long they were frozen beneath the surface and how long they waited to tear into their enemies

Loved the video, the result and the format.

This was fun, seeing the process is this was really cool to see.

I like the style of vid you created Murray. Great work man

Absolutely awesome Murray! Dave and Jazza's armies won't know what hit em'!! 😂😂😂😂

FINALLY a big yt channel paints some tyranids (nice job!) as for my hive fleet name; hive fleet gelda, meaning frozen in latin.

this is amazing, love the format too!

Good job, they looks amazing

That's sick man, also loved the type of video and the flow. Also good hive fleet name would be Hive fleet Yeti

Not only was this enjoyable but I also had no idea you could soften the plastic models in hot water for doing slight repositioning. Thanks for the tip!

Amazing video, absolutely loved this one.

I really like how this diverges from the traditional implication of any Tyranid presence = the planet is doomed, it's only a matter of time

Great video. Murray videos are always great fun.

I love your painting style!

Looks awesome bro, great work.

I really liked the format of this episode, it captured me and I wanted to watch all the way through, some past videos they couldn't really hold my attention

Those poses are amazing!

Pro tip, Use a jug of hot water to heat up the can after a shake to let the paint thin and gases expand, only for like 5 - 10 minutes. Then shake lightly after each spray to keep them going. Helps especially during Aussie winter, I can vouch as someone currently trying to undercoat a chaos army.

Ok this was SO WELL PUT TOGETHER. You guys are nailing this home brew 40k universe!

Jim the Guardsman awakening could be a cool event. Who knows what hidden knowledge -- hidden power -- that he may have within him.

Love this! I also loved how you used the rattlecans. I have starting using zenithal highlighing, but haven't played around much with different colors for the highlighting/shading. I do want to play some Tyranids again, it's been so long... They've changed so much since 4th ed though

That foam melting was the prefect happy accident !

That turned out so cool!

Love that multi model piece, looking forward to seeing more!

I loved this style and please do more!!!

Love the format.

Could you do a longer video that explains your painting style in more detail. Looks amazing 👏. Very well done.

I loved this vid Murey. And as a fleet name I throw out the ice "The Unending Frost Tendrils"...

loved it keep it up can't wait to see more of this army

hell yeah! I've been waiting for this!

This is beyond sick, love this

The tyranids should know the planet as jötunheim , if their fleet gets called jötun, and they should be canonically a little larger than normal tyranids, or just have more big tyranids, and have cool icy things about their biology. Like mabey their body temperature is liquid nitrogen level cold, so the air around them condenses, and you can see the condensed atmosphere radiating from them visually showing that this creature is freaking cold. After getting in fights with the jötunar tyranids the survivors would have dead frostbitten areas, they have to get amputated because its all dead tissue from the extreme cold of the tyranids body clawing them, or biting them.

Would def. like more like this - was a fun Project!

Love it! I like the sound of hive fleet Ymir!

this is AMAZING! you are a genius

Nah this video was fantastic, with equal parts amazing skill and brilliant methodology. Keep up the amazing work and I cannot wait to see more bugs

Hivefleet Elder - All hivefleets are named after various monsters from pop culture or legend - In Lovecrafts: "At the mountains of madness" researchers discover frozen in the ice of Antarctica: "the remains of fourteen prehistoric life-forms previously unknown to science". These beings later revealed to be "elder things", awaken and brutally slaughter most of the research party. - Awakened from the ice with unknown purpose and brutal methods fits pretty well to your backstory Also: This style of video is great!

The Guardsman's friends tell stories of his bravery

My brother is going to love this! He's a huge Tyranid fan playing around with his own idea of a custom hivefleet color palate, and this might inspire him further.

Something fun I did for my 'gaunts tails is holding a lighter flame near them--it curled the tails and made them look way more dynamic! Obviously ya gotta be careful you don't burn or melt the plastic though.

This is fluffing sick! Lowkey want to make my own tyranid drama now

This was a great video. The mini's looks great

Awesome video, awesome diorama. If that is your new army, I think Dave and Jazza better be worried!

Best Mini build on this channel yet!

Very cool! Thanks!

That came out amazing.

Great video, there was a lot to learn from it

They are looking absolutly amazing even for me and i am not the biggest Tyranid fan. Great Job.

Love the work guys keep it up

such a talented painter

im honestly most intrigued how good and fleashy that melted polystyrene looks. It would be amazing for doing a game board where the tyranids are slowly dissolving the planet during the battle and the defender are desperately are trying to stop the inevitable consumption of their planet.

I've just started painting warhammer minis for my son. I cant believe how detailed you get🤯 I can barely see them🤣

Those things are terrifying! I love it! Your creativity and paint jobs are always outstanding! Cutting off the jaws and painstakingly sculpting them back on? That’s commitment. Love this format as well! Really interesting to see the whole process. How about Hive Fleet Tesca (latin for tundra).

beautiful and dynamic

Murray style of painting..... Amazing, could definitely watch more videos of this style.

Custom Space marines, Tau, and now Tyranids too? This is gonna be so sick!

I really like the format and the style of video! Need more of these videos for tabletop time! Interesting spraying style with using red, green and blue over the black. It works and is very ... alien. Can’t wait to see both Xeno forces face off in the next KT battle report. Hmm how about Hive Fleet Frostbite.

I really like the colors of this and if this could be made into its own thin like we have the space bears and the skuri tau I could see this becoming a tyrani fleet of their own one that since they had been encased in ice for so long, it caused them to become more adapted to more icey planets leading these tyrnids to become more epuipted with ice based weapons and tracks slow gameplay down their prey before devouring them.

I love this narrative
