The Tyranids are an all-consuming alien swarm from beyond the known galaxy. Driven by the vast and ineffable intellect of the Hive Mind, their tendrils drive into fresh systems with every passing hour. These single-minded metapredators cannot be reasoned with, bought off, or put to flight. They seek only to strip each new world they encounter, devouring every shred of biomass to feed the relentless advance of the hive fleets and leaving dead, airless husks in their wake. Endlessly adaptable, the Tyranids possess no mechanical technology. Instead, their weapons and wargear are symbiotic or parasitic organisms, bonded with their wielders and capable of annihilating prey with hails of bio-acid, living projectiles, and ravaging psionic energies. From seething masses of warrior organisms to malevolent leader-beasts and walking battle-tank-sized monsters, the Tyranid swarms are as nightmarish as they are unstoppable. This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to collect Tyranids and unleash the power of the Hive Mind on the tabletop. Inside these pages, you’ll find all the rules you need to play a Tyranids army in games of Warhammer 40,000 – including Crusade and Combat Patrol rules – along with detailed accounts of their rapacious behaviour, divergent hive fleets, horrifying biotechnology, and invasions past and present.

Tyranids come in a shocking variety of forms, each more terrible than the last. Small disruption forces have been observed, led by a so-called Parasite of Mortrex. Forces are protected by slab-armoured Tyrant Guard and supported by walking artillery known as Biovores, who lob living spore mines high across the battlefield. Perhaps the most dangerous element is the aggressive and stealthy Genestealers, rushing forward to rend and tear with long, razor-sharp claws. If you want to consume all of the biomass in the galaxy, this box is the perfect way to start a new Tyranids collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. Leading the force is a nightmarish Parasite of Mortrex, infecting its prey with a barbed ovipositor. Three Tyrant Guard can smash through even the toughest of enemies while Genestealers scuttle forwards to mop up any survivors. Finally, a Biovore provides long-ranged support. These 18 plastic miniatures represent a complete Tyranid Assault Brood for use in tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000 – the rules for this Combat Patrol are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website. This set builds 18 plastic Tyranid miniatures: – 1x Parasite of Mortrex – 3x Tyrant Guard (which can alternatively be built as Hive Guard) – 1x Biovore (which can alternatively be built as a Pyrovore) – 3x Spore Mines – 10x Genestealers The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Genestealers each have a choice of head option, and the Biovore can alternatively be built as a flame-spewing Pyrovore. The Tyrant Guard can be armed with crushing claws, scything talons, or a bone sword and lash whip. The heads, bodies, tails, legs, arms, and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, meaning you can unleash your inner Hive Mind when building them. They can alternatively be built as Hive Guard, armed with either an impaler cannon or shockcannon. This kit comprises 260 plastic components, 1x Citadel 80mm Round Base, 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base, 3x Citadel 25mm Round Base, 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases, and 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted
Termagants are scuttling predators that attack in huge swarms, spitting living ammunition from their symbiotic weapons. Ripper Swarms squirm alongside them as living carpets of teeth and flesh, devouring whatever they come across. This box is the perfect way to start your collection of Tyranids. You'll get three plastic Termagants, each with a distinct pose, plus a plastic Ripper Swarm, all the paints you need to prepare them for battle, and a paint brush to get you started. These models are push fit, only requiring clippers to assemble - no glue, no mess. Each Termagant is armed with a fleshborer and, like the Ripper Swarm, features vicious claws and teeth. They are posed as though stalking their prey. These miniatures are supplied with appropriate bases. The six Citadel Colour paints are supplied in 12ml pots and feature the essential colours needed to paint the miniatures in the colours of Hive Fleet Leviathan, as well as a Technical paint to create textured bases: - Corax White (Base) - Wraithbone (Base) - Naggaroth Night (Base) - Thunderhawk Blue (Layer) - Magos Purple (Contrast) - Armageddon Dust (Technical) The box also includes a Citadel Starter Brush included to get you painting quickly.
Barbgaunts are little more than living weapons, their bodies and biological cannons slaved to the will of a pulsating ganglio-parasite that piggybacks them into battle. Once there, they unleash volleys of chitinous barbs that detonate with the fury of violent muscle-spasms, transfixing nearby victims with a hail of jagged projectiles. This multipart plastic kit builds five Barbgaunts - Tyranid creatures engineered as biological artillery. Each of these hunched and hulking gaunt-forms is fused to a grotesque barblauncher - five stout limbs serve to support its living weapon or provide a stable firing platform, while the sixth is little more than an atrophied talon. These beasts of burden are controlled by cerebral parasites, fleshy tendrils digging into each Barbgaunt's eyeless skull to direct its organic payload. This kit comprises 20 plastic components and comes with 5x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted
Biovores are living artillery pieces, swollen with the clutch of explosive Spore Mines that they nurture within their bodies. Upon anchoring itself to the ground with chitinous spurs, a Biovore undergoes violent spasms that expel its volatile offspring in high arcs as living ammunition. From there, the gas-bloated Spore Mines detonate in a shower of bone shards and acid rain, or else drift languidly down onto the battlefield, primed to explode whenever prey draws near. This multipart plastic kit builds a Biovore - a sentient Tyranid mortar - as well as three floating Spore Mines. The Biovore's lumbering form supports a symbiotic dorsal launcher, its spore-sac bulging with biological explosives waiting to be fired. The Spore Mines can be launched onto the battlefield by the Biovore, or simply rain down from the skies. The kit offers several alternate leg poses and basing elements for the Biovore, as well as three distinct designs of Spore Mine, allowing you to maintain variety in your brood as you build a whole battery of artillery-beasts. The Biovore in this kit can alternatively be built as a Pyrovore, a fire-spewing Tyranid creature. This kit comprises 37 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 80mm Round Base and 3x Citadel 25mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
1 Broodlord Bases 1 75mmx42mm oval base When Tyranids invade, the Broodlord leads his followers into battle, often appearing from sewers or hidden vents to cause untold carnage amongst the enemy army. Incredibly dangerous as with all Tyranids, the Broodlord towers over many, presenting a bulky silhouette of muscle and claws. There is little that can stand in the way of this monster and his attending brood. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble one Tyranid Broodlord, and is supplied with one Citadel 75x42mm Oval base.
The Deathleaper is a rare and advanced development of the Lictor strain, perfectly evolved to act as a terror weapon. This apex Lictor possesses an instinctive understanding of how to spread fear through hostile forces and prey populations alike, using its skills in stealth, infiltration, and assassination to sow paranoia and dread before the hive fleet attacks en masse. This multipart plastic kit builds Deathleaper, the evolutionary pinnacle of the Lictor bioform. This epic creature looms dramatically over its lesser cousins, perched atop the infested wreckage of a ruined facility. Deathleaper exhibits all the classic Lictor features, augmented to be even more impressive and terrifying - more powerful talons and claws, extended and spiked tendrils, two additional pairs of eyes, and a living cloak of membranous webbing that shifts to obscure its silhouette even further. It's a fantastic project for painters, covered with alien biological details, and makes a sinister centrepiece model for stealthy Tyranid armies. This kit comprises 44 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 60mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly?
10 Gargoyle Bases 10 small flying bases When Tyranids invade, the Broodlord leads his followers into battle, often appearing from sewers or hidden vents to cause untold carnage amongst the enemy army. Incredibly dangerous as with all Tyranids, the Broodlord towers over many, presenting a bulky silhouette of muscle and claws. There is little that can stand in the way of this monster and his attending brood. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble one Tyranid Broodlord, and is supplied with one Citadel 75x42mm Oval base.
Genestealers are peerless predators, swift vanguard organisms armoured in chitinous plates and possessed of terrifying strength and agility. Their broods move far ahead of the Tyranid hive fleets, to seek out fresh feeding grounds and spread their insidious genetic infection amongst the defenders. When the invasion swarms finally descend, the Genestealers burst from hiding to begin the slaughter. This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Genestealers, fast and deadly melee killers for Tyranids and Genestealer Cults armies. These terrifying, four-armed creatures sport clutching talons alongside deadly rending claws, and each features a different dynamic pose for stalking across the battlefield. The kit includes cosmetic head options for every Genestealer, allowing you to build your entire brood with fanged maws and slavering tongues, feeder tendrils for that classic Ymgarl look, or mix-and-match for evolutionary variety. You'll also find four heads with protruding, barbed ovipositors - ready to deliver the infamous Genestealer's Kiss... This kit comprises 109 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Hive Guard are heavily armoured gun-beasts bound to extremely powerful symbiotic bio-weapons. They are created to guard the Tyranid Hive Ships and capillary towers that stand sentinel over prey worlds, until such time as intruders come within range of their deadly weapons. The Hive Guard can be armed with either an impaler cannon or shockcannon. There are enough weapons to arm the complete unit with either option. This plastic kit contains 102 components with which to make either 3 Hive Guard or 3 Tyrant Guard. This kit comes supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Can be assembled as Hive Tyrant OR Swarmlord 1 Hive Tyrant Bases 1 60mm base The Swarmlord is as old as the Tyranid race itself, the very pinnacle of the Hive Tyrant bioform. It is a monster of darkest nightmare that has preyed on empires and overseen the extinction of entire civilisations. This multipart plastic kit builds one Swarmlord, an impressive and unique leader-beast perfectly engineered to guide your swarm. This looming creature is a fitting centrepiece for any Tyranid army - it boasts a chitinous shell studded with chimneys, a snarling head with a vicious bladed horn, and four serrated bone sabres, the Swarmlord's distinctive close combat weapons. You can also choose to build this kit as a Hive Tyrant or Winged Hive Tyrant. This set comprises 59 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and require assembly.
Hormagaunts are swarming shock troops, seeded onto prey worlds in their billions. As simple hunter-slayer organisms, spawned Hormagaunts can be left to rampage across battlefields and populations, wearing down defence lines and forcing the prey to expend lives and ammunition. Many formidable bastions have been buried in literal mountains of these chitinous horrors, driven by the will of a terrible synapse beast. This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Hormagaunts, as well as a Ripper Swarm to expand your skittering tide. These aggressive creatures each feature different poses - some leaping, some stalking, and some lunging, as befits their predatory speed and role as close-quarters killers. These poses can be combined with a variety of different head designs, allowing you to keep your Hormagaunts looking varied no matter how big your swarm grows. This kit comprises 68 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases and a Citadel 40mm Round Base. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
Lictors are a sinister adaptation of the Tyranid Warrior bioform, specialising in infiltration, scouting, and assassination. Hidden by their chameleonic skin, these vanguard beasts stalk their prey beyond the reach of the Hive Mind's synaptic web, leading the greater swarm to fresh targets with a potent pheromone trail. Lictors pick off their prey opportunistically, always looking for a chance to crack open an unwary skull and use their feeder tendrils to suck out the secrets within. This multipart plastic kit builds a Lictor, a fearsome Tyranid ambush predator. This cunning creature lunges from shadows and darts up sheer vertical surfaces to tear foes apart, striking with its distinctive mantis-like talons. The Lictor's feeder tendrils allow it to even digest a victim's memories, and the kit includes two different heads - one with trailing feeder tendrils, the other with its tendril membrane aggressively flared. This massively customisable monstrosity uses a variety of interchangeable legs, clawed arms, and scenic basing elements to create different poses for creeping across the battlefield - build your Lictor in a hunched stalk, braced to pounce, or looming ominously upright. Joints in its neck and scything talons allow you to adjust the pose even further, and extend or retract every element of its wickedly bladed arms. This kit comprises 56 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Neurogaunts scuttle forward in seething masses, driven on by the parasitic neurocytes that cling to their backs. Their primary purpose is to protect the synaptic node-beasts coordinating invasion swarms, while projecting their command signals throughout the wider swarm. It is a task they go about with single-minded savagery, slashing, biting, and dying with mindless vigour. This multipart plastic kit builds 11 Neurogaunts, including an overgrown Neurogaunt Nodebeast. These strange, eyeless Tyranid creatures gnaw and scratch with needle-sharp claws and teeth, channelling the will of the Hive Mind through their hump-like spinal symbiotes. Each Neurogaunt has a different scuttling pose, encouraging you to flood the battlefield with a skittering horde that overwhelms weakened foes and distracts from larger beasts. This kit comprises 24 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 25mm Round Hex Hole Bases and a Citadel 28.5mm Round Hex Hole Base. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted
Neurolictors are nightmarish living weapons of psychological warfare, engineered to implant mind-altering parasites and project a neural disruption field that provokes atavistic terror responses in even the most hardened prey. As an offshoot of the Lictor bioform, Neurolictors possess a nigh-supernatural ability to evade notice - which renders their sabotage all the more terrifying, as these insidious effects often seem to emerge from out of thin air. This multipart plastic kit builds a Neurolictor, a stealthy Tyranid terror weapon. This eerie, eyeless creature's sinister silhouette and mantis-like claws make its Lictor heritage clear, but the Neurolictor sports a massively overdeveloped alien brain, a prehensile cranial stinger, and barbed feeder tendrils - all vital adaptations for its vile role as a mind-destroying saboteur. This kit comprises 15 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Each Norn Emissary is a purpose-bred beast, spawned by its Norn Queen to accomplish a specific and singular objective - be it hunting a strategically gifted commander, abducting a knowledgeable prey-being, or pursuing some other ineffable goal. These colossal heralds of the Hive Mind's agenda meld terrifying psionic potential with speed, intelligence, and monstrous strength, ensuring that a Norn Emissary is more than equal to its alien task. This multipart plastic kit builds a Norn Emissary, a psychic monster tailored to overcome all resistance. Stood atop a ruined structure covered in Tyranid growths, the Emissary shreds all opposition with massive scything talons and cruel, dextrous claws, its visible brain tissue suffused with unnatural power. The Norn Emissary stands amongst the larger creatures in the Tyranids range, towering above even a Hive Tyrant - it's an excellent centrepiece model, loaded with alien detail to show off your painting skills. The kit also includes two different lower torsos, allowing you to pose your Emissary surveying the battlefield or leering down at its prey. This miniature can alternatively be built as a Norn Assimilator, a single-minded Tyranid monster with toxic bone harpoons. This kit comprises 58 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 100mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Swooping on leathery wings, Parasites of Mortrex use their barbed ovipositors to drive Ripper gestation pods deep into their victims' bodies. These swiftly-growing creatures soon chew themselves free from their unfortunate hosts. Such was the fate of the defenders of Imperial planet of Mortrex, the world first cursed by the Parasites' onslaught. Now they wreak havoc on the foes of the Hive Fleet by soaring over defences and seeding unlucky souls with nascent Rippers. This kit bullds one Parasite of Mortrex. Armed with clawed limbs and a barbed ovipositor, this winged beast is a mobile incubation organism housing hundreds of Ripper pods. With a host of horrifying abilities, this unique biomorph adds disruptive tactical options to the already unpredictable tendrils of the Hive Fleet. This set comprises 12 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Psychophage stampedes into battle at a frightening speed. They devour any prey organism in their paths, but especially favour those victims with psychic abilities. How they metabolise such esoteric powers is unclear, but doing so allows them to project surges of psychocorrosive ash that deflagrate their victims' minds and souls. This multipart plastic kit builds a Psychophage, a Tyranid monstrosity driven by frenzied psychic hunger. This vile creature's gaping, many-jawed maw is lined with razor teeth and barbed tentacles, allowing it to snatch, shred, and swallow its prey. Raised atop six scuttling, talon-tipped limbs, its bulbous body bulges with digestive sacs and orifices, and is topped with spore-spewing dorsal chimneys. This kit comprises 9 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 120x92mm Oval Hex Hole Base. This push-fit miniature can be assembled without glue, and is supplied unpainted.
Termagants are scuttling predators that attack in huge swarms, armed with living weapons that spit flesh-eating organisms and venomous spines. Originally spawned to roam the tight arterial passages of hive ships and hunt intruders, Termagants harry their prey with a hail of firepower, seeking always to outflank and envelop their victims as they erode their numbers. This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Termagants, as well as a Ripper Swarm to expand your chitinous tide. Each Termagant can be armed with your choice of three biological armaments - a compact fleshborer, beetle-infested devourer, or paired spinefists. The kit also includes special weapon options for three of the Termagants - one can be armed with an explosive shardlauncher, one with a long-barrelled spike rifle, and one with a mucous-spewing strangleweb. This kit comprises 79 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Hex Hole Bases, and a Citadel 40mm Round Hex Hole Base. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
Tyranid Primes are the apex of the Tyranid Warrior strain, leader-beasts boasting fearsome intellect and synaptic capacity. Adapted to their role, some carry long, sinuous lash whips to ensnare their prey. This multipart plastic kit builds one Tyranid Prime with Lash Whip, a melee-focused leader-beast for your Tyranid armies in games of Warhammer 40,000. Armed with vicious scything talons, a diamond-hard rending claw, and an ensnaring lash whip, the Prime is ready to take on all foes in close combat. They make for an ideal commander for an aggressive Tyranids force. This kit comprises 13 plastic components and 1 Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted
Can be assembled as Tyrannofex OR Tervigon 1 Tyrannofex Bases 1 Large oval base The Tervigon is a massive, living incubator, beneath whose lumpen carapace dozens upon dozens of Termagants slumber in a state of near-life - and it can spawn its dormant broods at will. The Tervigon displays all the horrific might so typical of the Tyranids, and is a suitably stomach-churning addition to a Tyranid collection. Standing on four limbs, two of which are hoofed, the other two being barbed and arrow-sharp, it features an outer carapace with chimneys, and a long, segmented chitinous tail. Its underside is no less hideous as it comes caked with ichor and is bubbling up as Termagants spawn from its distorted flesh. This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 76 components and one Large Oval base with which to build one Tervigon or one Tyranid Tyrannofex. It is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
Venomthropes drift forward amidst miasmal clouds of spores that spew from within their bodies. Their whip-like tentacles drip with a multitude of alien poisons. Indeed, so potent are these toxins that it is believed that a Venomthrope's very touch means certain death. This kit builds three Venomthropes armed with toxic lashes. They can be built with a choice of three different heads and three different left and right tentacle arms, with customisation opportunities available for each model. This kit can alternatively be assembled as three Zoanthropes or two Zoanthropes and a Neurothrope. This set comprises 80 plastic components and is supplied with 3x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
Von Ryan's Leapers are swift, agile Tyranid bioforms, cunning hunters and stealth ambushers that are especially lethal when fighting in dense terrain. Packs of Leapers lie in wait like living mines, lurking at the optimum locations to cause as much damage as possible. When they sense the perfect time to strike, they burst forth to butcher all around in a murderous frenzy. This multipart plastic kit builds three Von Ryan's Leapers, terrifying Tyranid ambush-beasts. These creatures spring from hiding to shred their unsuspecting prey using whip-fast slashes from two pairs of razor-sharp talons - including powerful mantis-like arms resembling the larger Lictor bioform. Then they feast, with a revolting combination of fangs, mandibles, and feeder tendrils. This kit contains 29 plastic components, and comes with 3x Citadel 40mm Round Hex Hole Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted
Tyranid Warriors are the most adaptable of all the Hive Mind’s bioforms. They are efficient killing machines with the ability to employ a wide variety of bio-weapon symbiotes. On the battlefield they are found fighting in both close quarters and at long range, and form a vital link in the Tyranid swarm, acting as relays through which the Hive Tyrants issue their commands. The Tyranid Warrior models come in 3 distinct poses with every single combination of weapon available on the frame. There is a staggering choice of weapons to choose from including 3 pairs of lash whips; 3 pairs of spinefists; 3 devourers; 3 pairs of rending claws; 3 pairs of scything talons; 3 deathspitters; 3 pairs of boneswords; a venom cannon; a barbed strangler; and 3 pairs of flesh hooks. These can be taken in a variety of combinations depending on how you want to arm your Tyranid Warriors. This kit also includes the option to make a Tyranid Prime. This monster is distinguished with its own chest plate; head and crest; shoulder guards; and has the option to add a scythed tail. As well as this multitude of options there are also enough adrenal glands and toxic sacs to add to the entire unit, and a choice of 4 different faces for the Warriors. This plastic kit contains 89 components with which to make 3 Tyranid Warriors, or 2 Tyranid Warriors and a Tyranid Prime. This kit comes supplied unpainted and requires assembly
