Tyranids: Von Ryan's Leapers contains three terrifying ambush organisms designed to spring from concealment and tear apart unsuspecting prey.

Product description
Add three fast and predatory Tyranid creatures to your Warhammer 40,000 collection. Von Ryan's Leapers crouch low to the ground before launching themselves at nearby victims with sudden bursts of speed.

Each creature is armed with two pairs of razor-sharp talons. Their larger mantis-like limbs resemble the powerful arms of the Lictor bioform, while their smaller claws are positioned to deliver rapid follow-up strikes.

Fanged jaws, mandibles and feeder tendrils complete their disturbing appearance, presenting each Leaper as an organism developed entirely for hunting, killing and consuming prey.

Push-fit assembly
The three miniatures use push-fit construction and can be assembled without plastic glue.

The parts are designed to connect directly, making the set accessible to newer hobbyists while retaining the detailed biological textures expected from modern Tyranid miniatures.

Ambush-beast design
Von Ryan's Leapers are sculpted in low, aggressive poses that suggest they are stalking prey or preparing to leap from cover.

Their extended talons, segmented tails and compact bodies create a fast and threatening silhouette that stands apart from larger Tyranid monsters and conventional infantry organisms.

Detailed organic features
The models feature layered chitin, exposed musculature, hooked claws, mantis-like forelimbs, mandibles and feeding tendrils.

These surfaces provide excellent opportunities for contrasting skin and carapace colours, claw effects, organic shading and custom Hive Fleet markings.

The separate poses and raised scenic details also give each miniature an individual appearance within the brood.

Background
Von Ryan's Leapers are specialised Tyranid ambush organisms that remain concealed until their prey comes within striking distance.

They burst from ruins, vegetation and other hiding places before victims have time to react, attacking with rapid slashes from multiple pairs of talons.

Their resemblance to Lictors suggests a shared biological purpose, although Leapers commonly hunt together as a coordinated brood rather than operating alone.

Once their prey has been overwhelmed, they feed using a grotesque combination of jaws, mandibles and feeder tendrils.

Why add it to your collection?

• Three ambush predators - add a complete brood of fast and aggressive Tyranid organisms.
