This is a map I designed myself, using a few sets of Space Hulk, Genestealer, Deathwing, the extra pieces from the White Dwarf releases, and an Advanced Space Crusade game set.
It was 100 points, Tyranids vs. Imperial Forces including and Inquisitor using full psychic rules.
The Imperials had several squads of both terminator and power armor marines, plus squats, and of course librarians and an Inquisitor.
The Tyranid side used the full expanded Genesteler blip set with psykers, the full tyranid blip set from Adanced Space Crusade plus Ork & Chaos mind slaves, and a Broodlord psyker.
The game lasted about 8 hours, with teleport being the key to the Inquisitor getting at the Energy Nexus and ultimately defeating the Tyranid Menace.
The camera got set aside after the board was set up but at least you get to see the board.
(You can see an animated overview of the map, with some modification, that was created with TileSystem_SpaceHulk3E_306 - a great map editor for creating scenarios). TileSystem does not have the Tyranid mapset, so I substituted some normal rooms instead. Otherwise, the map is as we used it.
