Update! Excellent News!

Well Ladies & Gentlemen,
good news: I will soon have all the models I need for my army (bought. Not built/painted)

I just found a video about someone's Tervigon - he used a Malanthrope body and head and a carnifex lower body and legs - perfect if you ask me. Looks brilliant. I might exchange the head with the Carnifex's one though.
So as soon as I can I will order the Malanthropes and get the last few Termagants. The only thing missing is the spore, but I guess I'll just get one of those dragon toys like seemingly  everyone else does.
I also decided on a colour scheme: White undercoat, Adeptus Battlegrey foundation, black shadowing, red "insides", silver horns/teeth and metallic green (1:1 dark angels green and boltgun metal) carapace. Anything tube-like will blue. I will post the first painted models as soon as they're done.

In case you haven't seen the list. While I might give it some small tweaks and changes in weapons, nothing much should change until I played a good few games with it.

Update

Sorry for not posting in a while. College was busy and I was taking a break from Tyranids.
At the moment I am just finishing my 1000 points Space marines-after that it really depends on how much money I have: I either finish my Tyranids or go for Grey Knights, since I really really like them.

Anyway- after my Space Marines are done I will build and paint 3 Zoanthropes and continue on A TERVIGON! After that, and the Tyranid Prime, it's only about painting them. 2000 points are ready to go:
