Warhammer 40.000. Tyranids: Hive Tyrant
Warhammer 40K.
Tyranids: Hive Tyrant
A terrifyingly powerful HQ choice for Tyranid armies
Can alternatively be built as a Winged Hive Tyrant or the Swarmlord
A monstrous psyker, able to wield a number of deadly bio-weapons
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.
