Ok, I probably misspelled that, but does anyone else picture something resembling Tyrannids fromWarhammer 40k?

I mean they both have matrons, so they kind of operating like a hive and they have these huge blades.

I picture the K'ell as velociraptors with swords (see SE's recent holiday painting), the Ve'Gath as sort of mini-Tyranosaurs but with longer arms, and the Shi'Gal as a slightly more lizardy version of Markus from Underworld.

As a former player of 40k I've always imagined them to be a combination of Tyranids and WH Fantasy Lizardmen.

This is a little obscure, but for a long time I envisioned them as a lot like the goblin Kharagh from Age of Wonders 2. (In case anyone is interested, they look like this

I've always thought of them as Tyranids as well, with swords like these for arms.

A Friend brought to my attention the pronunciation sounds rather close to "kitchen camel." The vision of such a horror brought tears to my eyes.

I will never see them the same way.
