The Swarmlord / Hive Tyrant

The Swarmlord is as old as the Tyranid race itself, the very pinnacle of the Hive Tyrant bioform. It is a monster of darkest nightmare that has preyed on empires and overseen the extinction of entire civilisations.

The gruesome Swarmlord model possesses a warrior-like dynamism and makes a unique addition to any Tyranid collection. Like other Tyranids, it possesses a chitinous shell with chimneys on its back, as well as a hideous skeletal underbody. In addition, the Swarmlord wields immense weapons, and are plenty of options within the box for you to arm the model with a stranglethorn cannon or a heavy venom cannon.

Hive Tyrants enact the Hive Minds 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 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.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 59 components and one 60mm base with which to build one Tyranid Swarmlord, Winged Hive Tyrant or Hive Tyrant.

This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
