Combat Patrol: Tyranid Assault Brood is a complete 18-model Tyranids force combining a synaptic leader, heavily armoured organisms, fast-moving Genestealers and long-ranged biological artillery.

Product description
Begin a new Tyranids collection or reinforce an existing swarm with a varied force created for Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000.

The brood is led by the Parasite of Mortrex, a nightmarish winged organism that hunts vulnerable prey and spreads the influence of the Hive Mind across the battlefield.

Three Tyrant Guard provide heavily armoured close-combat strength, while ten Genestealers race ahead of the main force to overwhelm isolated enemies with claws and predatory speed.

A Biovore supports the advancing swarm from a distance and is accompanied by three Spore Mines, adding distinctive living ammunition organisms to the collection.

Alternative build options
The three Tyrant Guard can alternatively be assembled as Hive Guard, allowing you to choose between heavily armoured protectors and specialised ranged organisms.

Tyrant Guard can be equipped with crushing claws, scything talons, or a bone sword and lash whip. Their heads, bodies, tails, legs, arms and weapons are interchangeable, providing extensive opportunities for customisation.

When assembled as Hive Guard, the miniatures can carry either impaler cannons or shockcannons.

The Biovore may instead be built as a Pyrovore, changing the model from a biological artillery organism into a creature designed to unleash burning bio-weapons at closer ranges.

Each Genestealer also includes a choice of head option, allowing the brood to be given additional visual variety.

A varied Tyranids collection
The set combines several contrasting Tyranid bioforms, from the flying Parasite of Mortrex and heavily armoured Guard organisms to fast Genestealers and the swollen biological artillery form of the Biovore.

Carapace plates, claws, wings, exposed musculature, organic weapons and Spore Mines provide a wide range of textures for painting in established or custom Hive Fleet colour schemes.

Background
Tyranid invasions are composed of countless specialised organisms controlled by the vast intelligence of the Hive Mind.

Every creature is bred for a particular purpose. Some act as leaders and synaptic conduits, others protect vital organisms, and vast broods of predatory bioforms rush ahead to tear apart resistance and consume all available biomass.

The Tyranid Assault Brood represents this biological specialisation in a compact force containing leaders, guardians, hunters and living artillery.
