The Hive Tyrant is the will of the Hive Mind made flesh — a towering, intelligent commander that both fights like a monster and steers the swarm around it. It's the classic Tyranid centrepiece, and this kit is generous with it: build a standard Hive Tyrant, give it wings for aerial menace, or go all-in and assemble the legendary Swarmlord. Three army-defining models, one box.
What's in the box
- 1 multipart plastic Hive Tyrant
- 59 plastic components
- Weapon options: scything talons, heavy venom cannon, stranglethorn cannon, bonesword and lash whip
- Biomorph upgrades including adrenal glands and toxin sacs
- 1 × Citadel 60mm round base
Build options
- Standard Hive Tyrant
- Winged Hive Tyrant for aerial superiority
- The Swarmlord — the ultimate Tyranid warlord
Whichever way you build it, you get a stunning focal point for the army and a commander that dominates the middle of the board.
Supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue and paints sold separately. Give it a swarm to lead — a box of Tyranid Warriors makes a solid synapse backbone — and grab Citadel paints.
