Tyranids engulf the battlefield in an endless wave of nightmarish bioforms—armoured in chitin, armed with talons, claws, and writhing tendrils. Few armies can withstand their assault for long, as they are overwhelmed by sheer numbers and towering monstrous organisms.
Prepare for the Great Consumption
This comprehensive boxed set is an excellent way to start a new Tyranids army or expand an existing force for Warhammer 40,000, offering better value than purchasing the kits individually. It assembles a balanced synapse-led swarm designed to overwhelm and consume everything in its path.
A Hive Tyrant anchors the force, extending the will of the Hive Mind and coordinating the swarm as a single unified organism. A Lictor and a brood of Von Ryan’s Leapers operate ahead of the main force, striking at vulnerable targets and disrupting enemy formations. Meanwhile, Tyranid Warriors, Termagants, and Hormagaunts flood the battlefield in relentless numbers, seizing objectives and grinding down opposition through attrition. Together, they form a cohesive and terrifying bio-horde that advances without hesitation.
This boxed set builds 30 multipart plastic Tyranid miniatures:
- 1 Hive Tyrant (can alternatively be built as a Winged Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord)
- 1 Lictor
- 3 Tyranid Warriors
- 3 Von Ryan’s Leapers
- 10 Hormagaunts
- 10 Termagants
- 2 Ripper Swarms
Customisation Options
The Hive Tyrant includes a wide range of weapon options, such as scything talons, heavy venom cannon, stranglethorn cannon, or a bonesword and lash whip combination. It also features biomorph upgrades like adrenal glands and toxin sacs, along with additional components for further personalisation. The kit may alternatively be assembled as a Winged Hive Tyrant or the Swarmlord.
The Lictor includes two head options and a highly flexible build system with interchangeable limbs, legs, and scenic base elements, allowing for a wide variety of stalking poses. Articulated joints enable further dynamic positioning of its scything talons and limbs.
The Tyranid Warriors provide extensive weapon loadouts, including lash whips, spinefists, devourers, rending claws, scything talons, deathspitters, boneswords, venom cannon, barbed strangler, and flesh hooks. The kit also allows construction of a Tyranid Prime with distinctive biomorphic upgrades, alongside additional biomorph enhancements and multiple head options for the unit.
The Hormagaunts feature multiple interchangeable poses and head variants, enabling varied swarm compositions.
The Termagants can be armed with fleshborers, devourers, or paired spinefists. Three models may also be upgraded with special biological weapon options, including a shardlauncher, spike rifle, or strangleweb.
