Contents: Specialized Bioforms for Consumption

This high-value Warhammer 40k miniature models box contains 18 highly detailed Citadel plastic miniatures, representing a deadly mix of specialized Tyranid bioforms. All models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.

The Combat Patrol: Tyranid Assault Brood box contains the following crucial units:

• 1x Parasite of Mortrex: A terrifying flying bioform specializing in infiltration and spreading the Tyranid infection. This unique monster can rapidly traverse the battlefield, implanting Ripper Swarms into its victims, adding to the sheer biomass of the swarm.
• 3x Tyrant Guard (or Hive Guard): These durable bioforms protect critical synapse creatures (like a Hive Tyrant, if you expand your force). Alternatively, they can be built as Hive Guard, specialized artillery creatures that fire impaler cannons, capable of hitting targets even if they are out of line of sight—crucial for clearing entrenched enemies.
• 1x Biovore (or Pyrovore): The Biovore serves as mobile artillery, launching deadly Spore Mines across the battlefield to disrupt enemy movement and objectives. Alternatively, you can build it as a Pyrovore, a short-range flamer beast that excels at clearing infantry from cover.
• 3x Spore Mines: These small, mobile explosive organisms are launched by the Biovore and detonate upon contact, providing area denial and unexpected damage.
• 10x Genestealers: The iconic vanguard of the Tyranid invasion. These incredibly fast and lethal close-combat specialists infiltrate ahead of the main force, tearing through armor and flesh with their razor-sharp claws and rending talons.
