Tyranids: Hive Tyrant / Swarmlord

A terrifyingly powerful HQ choice for Tyranid armies A monstrous psyker, able to wield a number of deadly bio-weapons Can alternatively be built as a Winged Hive Tyrant or the Swarmlord   The Hive Mind's will manifests through Hive Tyrants—colossal commanders that dominate the Tyranid swarm with unrelenting authority. These apex predators are far more than mere brutes; each possesses genuine intelligence and strategic acumen that elevates them to genuinely formidable threats. Their physiology is a masterwork of evolutionary horror—every curve, every protrusion, every appendage honed to devastate and consume, whilst simultaneously directing the savage tide of lesser creatures in their wake.This multipart plastic kit assembles one Hive Tyrant—a formidable and supremely adaptable commander suited to multiple battlefield strategies. The towering creature stands as an ideal centrepiece for any Tyranid force, featuring a distinctive armoured carapace crowned with vents, a snarling visage bearing a wicked horn, and a grotesque skeletal lower body. Extensive customisation options include numerous weapon configurations—scything talons, heavy venom cannon, stranglethorn cannon, bonesword, and lash whip—alongside biomorphic enhancements such as adrenal glands and toxin sacs. Multiple build options allow you to construct the standard Hive Tyrant, the winged variant for aerial superiority, or the formidable 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.
