Welcome to 40KO!

Please note that typically rules should not be quoted unless absolutely necessary, GW doesn't like this.
Since they published these rules on their own homepage i'll leave it though:
http://uk.games-workshop.com/tyranids/special-characters/2/

However...i am not sure if i understand the purpose of this thread correctly. Do you want a list of models which can be swallowed whole? Don't the criteria for what cannot be swallowed answer this?

The reason I'm asking for model names is so I can buy the best for base decoration. I am aware of no rules posting, that's why I asked for the models names. (I figured anything on the web is fair game) Which do you think would be most impressive?

I think he wants to know more exactly.

I think I can give a few.  I may make a mistake or two.  I'm going from memory here for the most part.  I may miss some.

Chaos
-Chaos Lords, Lieutenants, Possessed, Chosen, Marines, Raptors and Havocs with out Daemonic Resilience, Bike, or Daemonic Speed

Eldar
-Farseers, Aspect Warriors, Wraithguard, Guardians, Storm Guardians and Rangers

Space Marines
-Commanders, Chaplains, Librarians, Terminators, Command Squads, Tactical Marines, Scouts, Assault Marines, Devastators

I'll try to add more later.

Hello, I'll try to add a few more units to the list

Imperial Guard

-Any officers, veteran guardsmen, regular guardsmen, sanctioned psykers, commissars, priests, ogryns (though it seems weird!) storm troopers, ratlings, techpriests.

Orks

-Big Mek, squigs (they taste good), nob bodyguards, painbosses, 'ard boys, kommandos, flash gitz, stormboyz, skarboyz, slugga boyz, shoota boyz, tankbustas, stikkbombaz, burna boyz, grots, loota boyz. Just stick loadsa Orks to the base ;).

Dark Eldar

-Archons/ Dracon, Archites/ Dracites, incubi, warriors, sybarites, wyches, mandrakes, grotesques, scourges and maybe hellions.

Tyranids  ;)

-Tyranid Warriors (not sure about them, they are synapse ???), genestealers, gaunts, hormagaunts, rippers, raveners, gargoyles (jumping red terror to munch on them :D), zoanthropes (but they are synapse so ???) or biovores.

Hope it helped, and how are you planning to make the conversion, the model being eaten or spewed out, either way it will look cool!

Also IMHO, the winged warriors being eaten or Chaos Lords or chaplains, and multi-wound commander being devoured!!!
 
edit- removed lictors

-See ya later, BoB

just a small correction, eldar wraithguard cannot be swallowed due to their high toughness.

just look through the net, codexes, shops etc and find models that would look good for your conversion. then check to see if they can be legally swallowed

Lictors would not be able to be swallowed whole as they have S>4.

If witch hunters used Hand of The Emperor, they would be unable to be swallowed whole as it would put their S above 4.

As a note, synapse creatures would be able to be swallowed whole, as the 'swallow whole' rule does not use the 'Instant Death!' criteria that synapse creatures are immune to.

 nope, that's the 3rd edition model of the Red Terror for comparison. Here's the head secret:



 That's a Tyrant Guard body.

 The rest is Hive Tyrant parts.

Sorry, this may be a bit off topic, but I was of the opinion that the red terror did not make it into the 4th edition codex. I'd be super happy if they remade the rules, as it was my most fav. character. But is there new rules for it somewere?

That was released shortly after the 4th ed. Tyranid Codex for those who couldn't bear to leave their special characters behind! Note that old one eye has had his points cost changed to fall in line with the 4th ed. fex.

 Yes, that is so awesome. I use it like a super-ravener. Deep strike and swallow whole.

Hehehehe.......of course; It was designed under the previous tyranid codex, wasn't it? It's ridiculous speed for a cheap monstourcwas 'balanced' by the fact it could be instant killed by a dreadnought or railgun slug.....

So.....Winged Tyrant, Hormagaunts, Winged and leaping warriors with adrenal glands, rending claws and scything talons, Raveners with the same, Death Leaper, Lictors and the Red terror.

You've got precisely ONE turn to stop me and then I'm going to be in your face faster than a chav in a Kappa shell suit. And most of the army has multiple wounds and can't be instant killed.
