Tyranids: Deathleaper is the evolutionary pinnacle of the Lictor bioform and a sinister centrepiece miniature for stealth-focused Tyranid collections.

Product description
Add the ultimate Tyranid ambush predator to your Warhammer 40,000 army. Deathleaper is a rare and highly advanced Lictor organism created to infiltrate enemy territory, spread fear and eliminate vital prey.

The creature looms over the infested wreckage of a ruined facility, supported by long limbs and powerful talons. Its elevated pose gives the miniature an imposing silhouette while suggesting that Deathleaper is observing the battlefield before selecting its next victim.

Deathleaper retains the recognisable anatomy of a Lictor but enhances every feature. Its claws and talons are larger, its feeder tendrils are longer and covered in sharp spikes, and two additional pairs of eyes allow it to observe its surroundings with unnatural awareness.

Living camouflage cloak
One of the model's most distinctive features is its cloak-like membrane of living biological tissue.

This webbing stretches between the creature's limbs and shifts to disrupt its outline, helping Deathleaper blend into ruined structures, shadows and hostile environments.

The flowing membranes give the miniature a dramatic appearance that resembles a predatory cloak while remaining entirely organic.

Evolutionary pinnacle of the Lictor strain
Deathleaper represents a more advanced form of the stealth, infiltration and assassination traits found in ordinary Lictors.

Its elongated limbs allow it to move through dense terrain, while its claws, talons and feeder tendrils are adapted for sudden close-range attacks.

The model's elevated stance and ruined scenic elements make it noticeably more imposing than lesser Lictor organisms.

Detailed organic design
The miniature features layered chitin, exposed musculature, multiple eyes, hooked claws, spiked tendrils and wide sections of membranous webbing.

These contrasting surfaces provide excellent opportunities for camouflage patterns, translucent membranes, carapace highlights and custom Hive Fleet colour schemes.

The infested remains beneath the creature also allow you to add weathering, ruins, spreading Tyranid growths and environmental effects to the base.

Background
Deathleaper is a rare and advanced development of the Lictor strain, evolved to operate as both an assassin and a terror weapon.

It stalks enemy populations and military forces before the arrival of the main Tyranid invasion, remaining hidden while spreading fear, paranoia and uncertainty.

Selected victims may be hunted over extended periods, with Deathleaper revealing traces of its presence before disappearing again into the shadows.

When the creature finally attacks, it uses overwhelming speed, powerful talons and feeder tendrils to destroy its prey before nearby defenders can react.
