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.
