Warhammer 40,000 Faction: Tyranids

Tyranids in Warhammer 40,000

Tyranids are the extragalactic hive fleets, a living swarm of bio-engineered monsters that devours whole worlds. They combine swarms of small creatures with towering monsters, all driven by a single hive mind, and overwhelm defenders by sheer biomass.

They suit players who love monsters and hordes and want an army that looks like nothing else. The range spans termagants and Hormagaunts, warriors, Genestealers, monstrous creatures, synapse characters and Combat Patrol boxes. Everything here is a genuine Games Workshop product, sold in the UK by Tabletop Dominion.

Collecting Tyranids: Yes. There is a lot to paint, but the army is intuitive and the big monsters are a joy. A sensible first purchase is a starter box where one exists, or a couple of units and a leader, with the Warhammer 40,000 rules and a small set of paints. Stock shown here updates from our warehouse system through the day, and in-stock items sort to the top.
