This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Genestealers, fast and deadly melee killers for Tyranids and Genestealer Cults armies. These terrifying, four-armed creatures sport clutching talons alongside deadly rending claws, and each features a different dynamic pose for stalking across the battlefield.

The kit includes cosmetic head options for every Genestealer, allowing you to build your entire brood with fanged maws and slavering tongues, feeder tendrils for that classic Ymgarl look, or mix-and-match for evolutionary variety. You'll also find four heads with protruding, barbed ovipositors – ready to deliver the infamous Genestealer's Kiss...

This kit comprises 109 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds eiter a Biovore - a sentient Tyranid mortar - or alternatively  a Pyrovore - a fire-spewing Tyranid creature.

In addition, the kit contains three floating Spore Mines.

The Biovore's lumbering form supports a symbiotic dorsal launcher, its spore-sac bulging with biological explosives waiting to be fired. The Spore Mines can be launched onto the battlefield by the Biovore, or simply rain down from the skies.

The Pyrovore's armoured body supports a flame-spewing symbiotic organism, backed by a flared chitinous tail and bloated with foul gases.

The kit offers several alternate leg poses and basing elements, as well as three distinct designs of Spore Mine, allowing you to maintain variety in your brood as you build a whole battery of artillery-beasts.

This kit comprises 37 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 80mm Round Base and 3x Citadel 25mm Round Bases.

When Tyranids invade, the Broodlord leads his followers into battle, often appearing from sewers or hidden vents to cause untold carnage amongst the enemy army. Incredibly dangerous as with all Tyranids, the Broodlord towers over many, presenting a bulky silhouette of muscle and claws. There is little that can stand in the way of this monster and his attending brood.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble one Tyranid Broodlord, and is supplied with one Citadel 75x42mm Oval base.

This multipart plastic kit builds Deathleaper, the evolutionary pinnacle of the Lictor bioform. This epic creature looms dramatically over its lesser cousins, perched atop the infested wreckage of a ruined facility.

Deathleaper exhibits all the classic Lictor features, augmented to be even more impressive and terrifying – more powerful talons and claws, extended and spiked tendrils, two additional pairs of eyes, and a living cloak of membranous webbing that shifts to obscure its silhouette even further. It's a fantastic project for painters, covered with alien biological details, and makes a sinister centrepiece model for stealthy Tyranid armies.

This kit comprises 44 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 60mm Round Base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Hive Tyrant, an impressive and incredibly versatile leader-beast that can be built to take on a variety of battlefield roles. You can also choose to build this kit as flying Winged Hive Tyrant, or the insidious Swarmlord.

This looming creature is a fitting centrepiece for any Tyranid army – it boasts a distinctive chitinous shell studded with chimneys, a snarling head with a cruel horn, and a hideous skeletal underbody.

The kit features a huge variety of weapons options, including two scything talons, a heavy venom cannon, a stranglethorn cannon, and a bonesword and a lash whip – as well as biomorphs like adrenal glands and toxin sacs, plus other components for customising your Hive Tyrant.

This set comprises 59 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round Base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Hormagaunts, as well as a Ripper Swarm to expand your skittering tide.

These aggressive creatures each feature different poses – some leaping, some stalking, and some lunging, as befits their predatory speed and role as close-quarters killers. These poses can be combined with a variety of different head designs, allowing you to keep your Hormagaunts looking varied no matter how big your swarm grows.

This kit comprises 68 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases and a Citadel 40mm Round Base.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Lictor, a fearsome Tyranid ambush predator. This cunning creature lunges from shadows and darts up sheer vertical surfaces to tear foes apart, striking with its distinctive mantis-like talons. The Lictor's feeder tendrils allow it to even digest a victim's memories, and the kit includes two different heads – one with trailing feeder tendrils, the other with its tendril membrane aggressively flared.

This massively customisable monstrosity uses a variety of interchangeable legs, clawed arms, and scenic basing elements to create different poses for creeping across the battlefield – build your Lictor in a hunched stalk, braced to pounce, or looming ominously upright. Joints in its neck and scything talons allow you to adjust the pose even further, and extend or retract every element of its wickedly bladed arms.

This kit comprises 56 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Neurolictor, a stealthy Tyranid terror weapon.

This eerie, eyeless creature's sinister silhouette and mantis-like claws make its Lictor heritage clear, but the Neurolictor sports a massively overdeveloped alien brain, a prehensile cranial stinger, and barbed feeder tendrils – all vital adaptations for its vile role as a mind-destroying saboteur.

This kit comprises 15 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Termagants, as well as a Ripper Swarm to expand your Tyranid chitinous tide.

Each Termagant can be armed with your choice of three biological armaments – a compact fleshborer, beetle-infested devourer, or paired spinefists.

The kit also includes special weapon options for three of the Termagants – one can be armed with an explosive shardlauncher, one with a long-barrelled spike rifle, and one with a mucous-spewing strangleweb.

This kit comprises 79 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Hex Hole Bases, and a Citadel 40mm Round Hex Hole Base.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Glue & paints sold separately.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 76 components and one Large Oval base with which to build either one Tyranid Tyrannofex or one Tervigon.

The Tyrannofex displays all the horrific might so typical of the Tyranids, and is a suitably macabre addition to a Tyranid collection. Standing on four limbs, two of which are hoofed, the other two being arrow-sharp, it features an outer carapace with chimneys, and a long, segmented chitinous tail. Its underside is no less hideous, as it can feature either a fleshborer hive or rupture cannon.

The Tervigon is a massive, living incubator, beneath whose lumpen carapace dozens upon dozens of Termagants slumber in a state of near-life – and it can spawn its dormant broods at will.
