Tyranids: Parasite of Mortrex is a disturbing winged bioform designed to hunt isolated prey and spread fresh Tyranid organisms across the battlefield.
Product description
Add a fast and sinister Tyranid character to your Warhammer 40,000 collection. The Parasite of Mortrex is a mobile incubation organism whose body carries hundreds of developing Ripper pods.
The creature attacks with sharp claws and a long, barbed ovipositor. Its wide membranous wings carry it above the battlefield as it searches for suitable victims to infect.
The miniature combines an elongated flying silhouette with hooked limbs, layered chitin and a segmented biological tail, creating a distinctive focal point for a Tyranids army.
A winged incubation organism
The Parasite of Mortrex is more than a simple aerial predator. Its body has been adapted to transport and implant developing Ripper organisms into suitable hosts.
The prominent ovipositor curves beneath the creature and ends in a sharp, barbed point, emphasising its unnatural reproductive purpose.
Its wings and lightweight frame give the model the appearance of a creature capable of rapidly crossing the battlefield before descending upon vulnerable prey.
Detailed organic design
The miniature features stretched wing membranes, overlapping carapace plates, clawed limbs, exposed musculature and a long barbed ovipositor.
These biological surfaces provide excellent opportunities for contrasting skin and chitin colours, translucent wing effects, organic shading and custom Hive Fleet markings.
The unusual anatomy also makes the Parasite of Mortrex an excellent standalone painting project for collectors of Tyranid creatures.
Background
The Parasite of Mortrex is a rare Tyranid organism named after the devastation associated with the Imperial world of Mortrex.
Unlike larger Tyranid monsters, it relies on speed, surprise and its ability to spread new organisms within enemy territory.
Its body contains countless Ripper pods that can be implanted into living victims with the barbed ovipositor. The developing creatures consume their host before emerging to join the advancing swarm.
This horrifying reproductive adaptation allows the Parasite to weaken resistance while creating fresh organisms in service of the Hive Mind.
