Tyranids
The Tyranids, the Great Devourer, are the greatest threat to both the Imperium of Man and the rest of the galaxy. They have only the sole purpose of consuming all genetic and biological material in the universe for reproduction. Origination from some distant galaxy, the Tyranids are believed to have already destroyed thousands of galaxies and millions of intelligent species. Controlled by a collective "Hive Mind", individual tyranid organisms are generally mindless, instinctive creatures. They have to be controlled by Syanapse creatures, usually larger Tyranids such as Hive Tyrants, warriors, zoanthropes, etc. The Tyranid race is constantly morphing, evolving to better suit its needs. This makes them lethal to any fighting force. Additional information can be found here :
Tyranid - Lexicanum. I advise anyone to read that article, as I can only explain them so well, and they are a race with extremely complex physiology.
Tyranids are definitely my favorite race. Not only do they have a near-infinite number of color schemes, they are easily converted. Even entirely new models can be created, because of the dynamic nature of the race. The more common hive fleets (Behemoth, Leviathan, Kraken) are pretty easy to paint, and there are numerous other hive fleets with color schemes ranging from easy to very difficult. They are a race with something for everyone.
Overview: Give Tyranids a look. Even if you don't chose them as an army, they are still awesome.
