The quintessential Tyranid force is an Endless Swarm of warrior beasts hurling themselves into the guns of their foe, utterly heedless of their own mortality. Thisforce is a rapid-moving tide of Hormagaunts, Termagants and Neurogaunts, accompanied by swarms of chittering Gargoyles. Ifyou want to be the telepathic master of a never-ending horde of ravenous warrior bugs, always root for the monsters when you’re watching Starship Troopers, Aliens, or Godzilla, then the Tyranidsare the 40k army for you. That brings us up to 1600 points + wargear. These units provide us some potent psyker offensive options. But I think we need something that’s more of a deep threat. How deep? I’m thinking under-the-ground deep. Time to call in a Trygon. The Stratagems for this detachment allow you to tinker with your Synaptic web: extending its range with Synaptic Channelling, altering which Synaptic Imperative a unit is affected by using Imperative Dominance, or focusing its Irresistible Will on a single enemy unit to grant allunits bonuses to hit and wound it.

If battling against an overwhelming alien invasion isn’t your cup of tea, how about a nice relaxing holiday to the plains of Ghur instead? After all, it’s all smiles in the Realm of Beasts, right? Season of War: Thondia That bio-artillery has the Indirect Fire weapon ability,letting you target models hiding out of line of sight, and can also deposit drifting clouds of spore mines around the battlefield. While you can deploy both armies in full to play a brutal but balanced game of Warhammer 40,000, the box also contains more than enough models to form two full Combat Patrols that will let you play this new, faster-paced game format right out of the box. What Else is in the Box? Every self-respecting Hive Tyrant needs a swarm to command, and the Combat Patrol box provides you with a whopping 36 Termagants (plus three Ripper Swarms). Even the renowned tactician Roboute Guilliman has to concede that quantity has a quality all of its own. Ripper Swarms have negligible offensive power, very little survivability, and no objective control, but they have two useful abilities. Their ability to Deep Strike allows them to pop up almost anywhere on the table, whilethe unique Aura Ability ‘Chitinous Horrors’ halves the Objective Control value of enemies within engagement range. They’re a useful nuisance that allows other units to steal objectives from your opponents.

Earlier today, we unveiled the incredible new Tyranids codex – but you can’t devour an entire galaxy without some hungry mouths to feed. Fortunately, the Norn-Queens have been hard at work splicing together a new Combat Patrol box, which is ideal whether you’re brand new to the Tyranids or have been on board since Hive Fleet Behemoth was first sighted.*

Leviathan is the largest Tyranid Hive Fleet to ever assault the galaxy. Leviathan’s unique ability relates to the strength of its synaptic network that semi-telepathically binds its Tyranids. It allows them to fight long past most normal Tyranids would be laid low, always serving the hive mind even when mortally wounded. In addition (what a phrase) he’s a two power psyker and ignores the first damaging hit in combat. In a 1,000 point game he’s definitely going to be a target. Tyranid Prime The Hormagaunts have been refreshed with incredible new sculpts. Few opponents can stand up to a seemingly endless tide of chittering teeth and claws, and as an added bonus you get a single Ripper Swarm with each box to form into an even smaller, meaner unit. Biovore On top of this, you’ll also find a construction booklet to help you build your miniatures and a decal sheet for the Space Marine force. Read more about the books and cards in the box here: Tyranid Vanguard organisms are the first to make planetfall, sometimes preceding the hive fleet’s assault by months. They include infiltrator organisms like Lictors and Neurolictors, winged beasts like Gargoyles and Winged Hive Tyrants, and the rapid Genestealers.It’s a big month for fans of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy , as we start to see some juicy details from this new edition. We’ll be shining a spotlight on a one of the new kits every Thursday starting this week , with plenty more to come. However, it’s not as worthwhile if you have plenty of those little guys hanging around. As we said, this is designed for new players, and it gets them a ton of minis for not too much money. In one battle the Pharos device became overloaded, sending a psychic signal out in all directions. This won the battle for the loyalists – but it also burnt like a lighthouse for any psychic entity stalking the cold dark between galaxies. The new Tyranid Combat Patrol will be out soon, but the Aeldari, Grey Knights, and Thousand Sons boxes are coming even sooner. We’ll be taking a look at some of the rules from the Tyranid codex as we build up to its release – sign up for our newsletter to get all of the updates, and grab a Tyranids mug to wash down all the biomass you’ll be devouring.

Known as the Vardenghast Swarm, this excellent army is a great way to start off a Tyranid collection, and lets you have a taste of the myriad ways the Hive Mind wages war. Units like the Termagants and Barbgaunts are fierce ranged combatants with powerful guns, while the Terror of Vardenghast and Von Ryan’s Leapers rip their prey to pieces in close combat.

These are the 32 models in Combat Patrol Tyranids: The Tyranids did not arrive all at once but split their forces into several different Tyranid Hive Fleets. Each of these humongous, biomechanical armadas were given names by humanity, and many have been encountered or destroyed.They are coming! I feel them scratching inside my mind, scratching, screaming, running, so many – so, so many voices. They are coming for us – flesh, body and soul!” The majority of datasheets have been modified, both to adapt units that would be overpowered in this format, but also to slim down more complex units to one defining rule and ensure players can master the key abilities of their units before discovering their full potential in larger games.
