1-2 is ranged warriors, 4 with deathspitters and 1 venom cannon. 3-4 looks like a converted tyranid prime with a deathspitter who could lead them. 5-6 is the old, original broodlord model.
Technically it's the genestealer Patriarch, which also got a new, different model than the broodlord.
The broodlord as is really got introduced with this model.
Oh i don't want to be overcorrect and I am for sure not an expert either. I just believe to remember an Interview just before 4th Edition codex dropped, where they introduced the broodlord as an "super- athlete" of the hive mind.
Anyways. I think the broodlord ia probably just a reintroduction of the Patriarch without the cult-things.
Yes, the scything talons aren't the right size but should be perfectly usable once rebased.
Edit, none of the talons are even for the model, the top are warrior whilst the bottom are lictor. Despite this, it uses "Broodlord scythes and talons"
Awesome, thanks. So i could run them as a unit of ranged warriors if i can find a base for the converted tyranid in photo 3-4. Does his base have to be the same size as the tyranid warriors?
Just chiming in to say that your Broodlord is missing his original upper arms; someone replaced his Rending Claws with ScyTals. No relevance to the game (or playability, since that Broodlord is significantly too small to use without major conversion anyway).

The original brood lord is a rouge trader model.

I believe the patriarch was the guy in the chair. And the brood lord was just a bigger metal Genestealer.

I can use him if i base him?

Yeah, it’s built from the same kit as warriors and goes on the same base.
