Tyranids: Hive Tyrant/Swarmlord
Hive Tyrants enact the Hive Mind's will on the battlefield; as the massive commanders of the Tyranid swarm. Powerful warrior organisms in their own right; each Hive Tyrant is also possessed of a depth of sentient autonomy and strategic cunning that makes them truly deadly foes. Every part of their body is perfectly sculpted to maim; kill; and consume – and guide lesser bioforms in doing the same.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Hive Tyrant; an impressive and incredibly versatile leader-beast that can be built to take on a variety of battlefield roles. This looming creature is a fitting centrepiece for any Tyranid army – it boasts a distinctive chitinous shell studded with chimneys; a snarling head with a cruel horn; and a hideous skeletal underbody. The kit features a huge variety of weapons options; including two scything talons; a heavy venom cannon; a stranglethorn cannon; and a bonesword and a lash whip – as well as biomorphs like adrenal glands and toxin sacs; plus other components for customising your Hive Tyrant. You can also choose to build this kit as flying Winged Hive Tyrant; or the insidious Swarmlord.
This set comprises 59 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
