Guess you're referring to these? It's from a toy line from 1996. The game was based on the various figures from that line which was planets with moving parts that each had a small army in them. I really thought they were cool as a kid, it's like a mix between Transformers and Micro Machines with a sci-fi war twist. It's entirely possible that they were glancing at the Tyranids, they were released around the same time and Warhammer was just starting to become a "thing" but it was still far off from reaching the mainstream. No way of proving it though and to be honest I think both them and GW were just looking at various sci-fi tropes for a lot of their inspiration back then. The aesthetics of Warhammer didn't really start to get solidified until the third edition released in 1998 which is well after these were being produced.
