I was thinking of doing Tyranids, but I hate Tyranids with guns more than anything, ever. It just looks completely out of place, in my opinion.
I was wondering, is a no-gun Nid list viable?

I think you'd be a fairly brave soul to do so. The book's better choices typically involve guns of some sort - Hive Guard, Tervigons spamming Termagants etc.
I don't suffer from mental instability. In fact, I enjoy it immensely.
Gutlord Inquisitor: FORUM FIGHT! Me, I'm betting on the stronghold. Sure, they're outnumbered with thick skulls, stubborn bull-headedness and an inflated sense of self-worth, but hey, they're Ogres.

The other option was to do some serious conversion work on Termagaunts - having the end of the gun embedded in palms of Hormagants for example, I just think as they are the Tyranid guns look really out of place and unnatural.

I have a no guns Tyranid army. Luckily I've never come across anyone with fliers when using it or I think it'd be screwed!
It does ok against marines because most of my units can pump out enough attacks to get through their armour and the bigger gribblies can take out tanks. The underfoot monsters and putting units out of their holes is your friend!
