Tyranids Boarding Patrol
Like the questing tendrils of some impossibly vast monster; the Tyranid hive fleets push deeper into the galaxy with every passing day. For every swarm destroyed by desperate defenders; another three drift into the light of beleaguered stars; ready to do battle. The Tyranids cannot be bought off; reasoned with; or put to flight – only fought or fled from. Against their seemingly inexhaustible numbers and endless hunger; even the thick hulls of voidborne craft cannot offer true safety from the Hive Mind.
Boarding Patrol: Tyranids provides a balanced force of hungry Tyranids infantry; perfectly suited to ripping apart foes or firing grotesque bio-weapons in games of Warhammer 40;000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.
Guide the assault with a cunning Broodlord; able to tear apart any foe foolish enough to get close. He's supported by six versatile Tyranid Warriors; split into two groups of three and spawned with a variety of ranged and closed combat weaponry. Anything unlucky enough to survive their assault will be hunted down by a unit of Genestealers; who can be armed with either rending claws or scything talons – both perfect weapons for the confines of a space hulk.
This set includes the following:
– 1x Broodlord
– 6x Tyranid Warriors
– 8x Genestealers
This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Broodlord; five Genestealers; and two three-model units of Tyranid Warriors.
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40;000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement.
