>Tyranids are easy to paint, just spray white and add some purple and pink, done
>They have some good aesthetics which are bug-like but not in a disgusting way like Chaos
>Completely avoid the military theme that girls are seldom interested in
>Always being hungry is relatable af, being able to eat anything is the female fantasy
>Hiveminds serving the Queen is sound dynamic for women
And imo one of the big ones
>Completely avoid all political and moral discussion that plagues the 40k fandom. No need to larp as a crusader/nazi/emo when your motivation is just nom nom nom.
