The Hive Tyrant is the ultimate embodiment of the Tyranid Hive Mind’s will, serving as both a monstrous warrior and a cunning battlefield commander. Towering above the swarm, these lethal predators tear apart enemies with terrifying weapons while guiding lesser bioforms to overwhelm their prey.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Hive Tyrant, a versatile and imposing leader-beast for Tyranid armies. Featuring a grotesque skeletal frame and a heavily armored chitinous carapace, the Hive Tyrant can be customized with a wide range of bio-weapons, from scything talons to devastating heavy venom cannons or stranglethorn cannons. The kit also includes biomorph upgrades such as adrenal glands and toxin sacs to further enhance its killing power. With multiple build options, it can be assembled as a walking Hive Tyrant, a fast and deadly Winged Hive Tyrant, or even the infamous Swarmlord – making it a true centerpiece model for any Tyranid collection.
