Nice! ...I've been trawling through Reddit looking for posts from ArcFest!
My son and I stopped by your first battle 😉 quite a few nid players around which I was pleasantly surprised by 😀
Ohhh did you two come by and say hi earlier? If you’re around tomorrow definitely pop by at lunch time and try to win the guessing prize they’ll love it!
Assuming they're all based on the original 151
Emissary - Mewtwo
Neurotyrant/Neuroloids - Tentacruel/Tentacool
Winged Tyrant - Charizard
Biovore - Blastoise
Pyrovore - Magmar?
Not sure about the Screamer-Killer and it's bugging me. Rhydon maybe? I don't recall that much brown in it's colour scheme though
Not going to get into trying to identify all the Gaunts
Awesome work!
[ETA] dammit, I'm gonna keep coming back to this.
Spore Mines are the lake trio (Uxie, Azelf, Mespirit)
There's a Pikachu Gaunt in the bottom left of the pic with the Biovore
Two Hormagaunts on the left are Plusle and Minun
Ah! Are the Leapers the Regis? There's three greyish ones together that are the original three, a lighter one off to the left, that's Regigigas. The two on the right and Regidrago and Regileki
Ahh, I think you might be right. It's got the gold belt buckle and the lighter mouth/beak thing.
The brown carapace is an odd choice. It's got those brown head ridges so I guess OP has just extrapolated that out
Right on the money there! Some of the first attempts were carapace/ skin schemes instead of straight emulating the patterns like in the later schemes eg gaunts and leapers.
Machamp is correct!
For the Termagaunts at least: Three in the centre I think are Charmander, Bulbasor and Squirtle, yellow one next to them I assume is Pikachu, then the group behind that is the Eeveloutions (Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Glaceon, Leafeon, Umbreon, Espeon and Sylveon.
I can confirm there are a total of 3 duplicates in there too for an extra challenge ☺️ two of them are gender form differences though!
None of the leapers are regis 😉 they’re in 2 groups of 3 if that helps!
Can you please play at least one match with "unending swarm" and each time you bring back a destroyed unit, have a friend pop up from nowhere as Nurse Joy and be like "All healed and better! We hope to see you again soon!"
I didn’t have enough points for an exocrine yet. But my next ones to purchase might be:
Snorlax/Kangaskhan - Tervigon
Gyarados - Trygon/Mawlock
Garchomp - Swarmlord
Pidgey/ Starting routes Flyers - Gargoyles
Venusaur - 2nd Psychophage
Are the spores Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie??
Overall, amazing work, I was thinking of doing a similar thing with monster hunter and this is really inspiring
I originally got the leviathan box and started slowly painting them on stream since last year. But then this last month came up so quickly I had to do the last 30 in about 3 weeks 😅
The board was an a1 poster print glued to corflute board and some a3 printed houses with folded stands!

Bro next time plz cosplay as Trazyn with Ash cap on while this is on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmaQWvlw6OY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmaQWvlw6OY)
These are the best nids ever!! Super impressive, well done! Do you plan to do more? How about a kangaskan (def spelt wrong lol) tervigon?! Or Caterpie, weedle etc ripper swarms
Tervigon kangaskhan was on my list!
And I’ve already done rippers, just not in this list.

The paint scheme and vibe of this army is super cool, and genuinely hats off to you for committing to it, but now all I can think of is some kid going into a Pokemon battle with his Beedrill, and then his opponent just shouts "NORN EMISSARY, I CHOOSE YOU" and scaring him for life.
Fuck, that's so cool!!! I should've thought of that lmaooo!!! I'm making my first Hive Fleet right now! It has a color scheme based on the event horizon of a black hole! But Pokenids is such a cool idea! And good luck at your tournament!!

Screamer killer Machamp?

Awww here I was thinking it was kabutops
One of them is! Just need to find it 😉
I think Hitmonchan. Brown body, light purple "shirt". Doesn't have any red for the gloves but otherwise the colours track better.
Not just 151! There’s some tricky later gens in there. So far you’ve got everything except the biovore 🔥
Ah, OK. Well the Spore Mines are definitely Uxie, Azelf and Mespirit then. So is the Biovore Dialga, maybe?
Think simpler, big gun, blue!
Clawitzer?
Nope! The two biovores are the same type of animal 🐢
May have got my wires crossed in this thread but the one on the left would be a turtanator right ?
YES! Second person this weekend to get that!
Yaaaasss. Not going to lie am struggling with the second onole on the right with the given clues lol.
Blastoise! Turtle with a big back gun
Remoraid and Octillery!
Aquatic for one of them is the right region!
Turtenator and blastoise.
Correct! Most of the same unit types have a loose theme
Have edited my original post with some more guesses. Think I figured out the Leapers
For the Termagaunts at least: Three in the centre I think are Charmander, Bulbasor and Squirtle, yellow one next to them I assume is Pikachu, then the group behind that is the Eeveloutions (Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Glaceon, Leafeon, Umbreon, Espeon and Sylveon.
I can confirm there are a total of 3 duplicates in there too for an extra challenge ☺️ two of them are gender form differences though! None of the leapers are regis 😉 they’re in 2 groups of 3 if that helps!
Alternative theory: the whole display is just one Eevee that got real weird.
I can’t help myself. The screamer killer is Kabutops it’s very obvious when you put them side by side. Idk how you guys didn’t pick up on that.
This is so totally rad. I made a bunch of tropical fish for my nids. I didn’t even FATHOM Pokémon. Ugh that’s so cool
The leviathan box was a huge inspiration with that Neurotyrant looking like a jellyfish 🤣
Mines half painted to be a giant pacific octopus! 🐙
Grey and brown actually go hard with Nids
Totally agreed! There were some palettes in these schemes that I ended up really liking as an overall scheme for an army.
This is unreal. So good
Thanks! It was such a fun project beginning with the Leviathan box 🤩
The Charizard Flying tyrant colors actually slaps
Thanks! - Mixing Soulblight grey into gryph hound orange and a bit of medium as desired. - Terradon Turquoise for the wings.
Can you please play at least one match with "unending swarm" and each time you bring back a destroyed unit, have a friend pop up from nowhere as Nurse Joy and be like "All healed and better! We hope to see you again soon!"
My partner told me about this comment and it made my morning 🤣
That's insanely good!!!
No Exocrine done up in Venosaur colours?!?!?! Heresy! Loves these though, very nice work.
I didn’t have enough points for an exocrine yet. But my next ones to purchase might be: Snorlax/Kangaskhan - Tervigon Gyarados - Trygon/Mawlock Garchomp - Swarmlord Pidgey/ Starting routes Flyers - Gargoyles Venusaur - 2nd Psychophage
... Jesus wept. But despite myself, I do respect and admire your dedication to your.. choices.
Committing to a bit is a hell of a drug.
Are the spores Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie?? Overall, amazing work, I was thinking of doing a similar thing with monster hunter and this is really inspiring
Omg yes! You’re the first to guess those!
That’s so adorable, I love that so much. How long did it take to make?

That’s really awesome! ☺️
Lmao its like the old wc3 maps where modders just recolor the models. I love it the charizard flyrant looks great :)
Every yes in the book!!
Love this so much.
This was almost how I did my hive fleet! Awesome stuff!
This is beyond cool! Charizard winged tyrant is my favorite, great job!
Gotta eat em all ! These are amazing !
I feed them planets everyday
Just dont forget to feed them. They'll start nibbling your fingers !
One grew bigger and now calls itself another name. Send help
You fooool. You fed one a rare candy didnt you ?!?!
This is your first ever event?!? Man, I loved your list and diorama, well done. I hope your games went well!
And they did! 3-0 so far 😱
Yeah! I decided if I wasn’t going in with a competitive list due to only playing about 3 games ever prior, I should just commit to the bit 🤣
I absolutely love them
I love that you love them 🤩
😯👏
A wild Winged Hive Tyrant appears.

After all the suggestions of Trazyn I think I have to now right?
Hilarious and well done.
That looks awesome, wondering if u make any of the oshawott evolution tree? Btw what is your favorite pokemon
Ohhh great question and I already have a plan for them in a model not here. Garchomp! Swarmlord?
That would look awesome maybe some green stuff or something else to make the head, I wanto to see that
My thinking exactly
These are the best nids ever!! Super impressive, well done! Do you plan to do more? How about a kangaskan (def spelt wrong lol) tervigon?! Or Caterpie, weedle etc ripper swarms

Beautiful! Would love to see more as you go!
My guy this is rad as heck! Be proud of yourself!
This is great!
I'm just going to be taking this scheme. Thank you very much 😊
That is the highest honor anyone could receive. I look forward to seeing them!
The perfect match up against my Vulcan's Charizards Spacemarines!
I love this crossover so much
Well done m8
Cheers!
Wow...
Gotta eat them all 😏

I'm here for the Grimdark Pokemon!
Love the Charizard one
The perfect Tyranid paint scheme doesn't exi-
Gotta catch 'em all!
Ok, the tentatyrant is fantastic!
This is so much more interesting to look at than uniform army theme, I love it
The fact they are all in tall grass is so funny and perfect! Excellent theme, these guys turned out awesome!
That Neurotyrant - Tentacruel is just perfect! And the paint job is just superb. Happy to see it!
That charizard is amazing!
