Story:

Rare even in the most recent iterations of the Tyranid evolution, Zoanthropes are perhaps the strangest of Tyranid creatures. They are powerful Psykers, apparently engineered from harvested alien life forms to form living conduits for the focussed power of the Hive Mind. So extreme is their development that their atrophied bodies and bulbous heads are entirely energized by psychic force. They can move only by psychically levitating themselves, drifting across the battlefield to rain bolts of incandescent power on the enemy or relay the synapse commands of the Hive Mind to its lesser beasts.

Sounds pretty cool. You might be able to use the Hyrdalisk model, re-skin it, and make it hover above the ground by raising it off the ground a little bit.
