Warhammer 40K: Battleforce - Tyranid Swarm

Tyranids flood the battlefield with a veritable tide of nightmarish creatures – all chitinous armour plates, savage claws, and lashing tentacles. Few foes can withstand them, overwhelmed as they are by sheer numbers and huge beasts.

This loaded box is ideal for starting a new Tyranids collection – or expanding an existing army – to reap heaps of biomass in games of Warhammer 40,000, and it saves money compared to buying the kits separately. A Hive Tyrant provides a strong connection to the hive mind, allowing the constituent units to act as one. A Lictor and a unit of Von Ryan's Leapers rush forward to harass the enemy and take out difficult targets. Tyranid Warriors, Termagants, and Hormagaunts blanket the battlefield in bodies, allowing you to control the flow of battle and take vital objectives. When taken together, they are a terrifying foe to face, with so many targets to choose from, all surging forward as one.

This boxed set builds 30 multipart plastic Tyranids miniatures:

– 1 Hive Tyrant (which can alternatively be built as a flying Winged Hive Tyrant, or a Swarmlord)
– 1 Lictor
– 3 Tyranid Warriors
– 3 Von Ryan's Leapers
– 10 Hormagaunts
– 10 Termagants
– 2 Ripper Swarms

The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Hive Tyrant kit includes your choice of two scything talons, a heavy venom cannon, a stranglethorn cannon, or 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 a flying Winged Hive Tyrant or the insidious Swarmlord.

The Lictor includes two different heads. This massively customisable monstrosity comes with a variety of interchangeable legs, clawed arms, and scenic basing elements to create different poses for creeping across the battlefield. 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.

The Tyranid Warriors offer a staggering choice of weapons, including lash whips, spinefists, devourers, rending claws, scything talons, deathspitters, pairs of boneswords, a venom cannon, a barbed strangler, and flesh hooks. This kit also includes the option to make a Tyranid Prime with its own chest plate, head and crest, shoulder guards, and the option to add a scythed tail. 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.

The Hormagaunts have multiple poses that can be combined with a variety of different head designs.

The Termagants have a choice of three biological armaments – fleshborers, devourers, 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.
