Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive assault patrol – fast Genestealer pressure, a solid core via Tyrant Guard, and board control thanks to the Biovore + Spore Mines. | Parasite of Mortrex as a fast “mission” threat; Genestealers for lightning melee pressure; Tyrant Guard as a tough objective-holding core; a Biovore with indirect fire and Spore Mines for zoning and slowing the opponent. | Medium – the plan is simple (push + score), but you’ll want to manage cover, charge timing, and smart unit trades. | Don’t throw Genestealers into “nothing” – set up an angle and use cover first. Use the Biovore for space control (Spore Mines where you don’t want the enemy to go), and keep Tyrant Guard on the key objective. |
Warhammer 40k: Combat Patrol: Tyranid Assault Brood
Want to start Tyranids with a box that immediately teaches the “hive mind” playstyle? Tyranid Assault Brood is the perfect entry: fast Genestealers create instant pressure, Tyrant Guard hold objectives, and a Biovore with Spore Mines gives you control over space. Leading the swarm is the Parasite of Mortrex – a mobile threat that scores points, harasses the enemy, and forces reactions. Build it, paint it, and you’re ready for your first Combat Patrol mission.
What’s inside and how it plays on the table
Inside you’ll find a complete Combat Patrol force – 18 plastic miniatures you can build, paint, and take straight to your first game. The models are multi-part plastic, supplied unassembled and unpainted (bases and instructions included). This set is built around fast pressure and smart space control: Genestealers leap onto targets, Tyrant Guard hold the middle, and the Biovore helps “lock” enemy movement with Spore Mines.

Where this Combat Patrol fits
Combat Patrol is the fastest way into Warhammer 40,000: each box is designed to be playable “out of the box” against other Combat Patrols. Tyranid Assault Brood is great if you want a “push + control space” playstyle – you quickly learn movement, objective pressure, and how to use threats that force the opponent into uncomfortable decisions.
Main reasons you’ll want it
- Instant pressure: Genestealers bring a fast melee threat from game one.
- Board control: Biovore + Spore Mines help dictate enemy movement and protect objectives.
- Great long-term value: the units work in full 40k – just add more swarm, synapse, and a big monster later.
What to expect on the battlefield
- Tyranids: A predatory hive fleet army – it wins through tempo, pressure, and smart space control. When the opponent makes a mistake, Tyranids punish it instantly.
- Any opponent’s Combat Patrol: The format is fast and balanced – objective play, cover, and timing decide games.
- How this box wins: Tyrant Guard hold the key point, the Biovore disrupts plans (Spore Mines), and Genestealers + the Parasite switch from scoring to deleting at the right moment to close the game.
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| 10× Genestealers | Fast melee unit – ideal for early pressure, clearing objectives, and punishing enemy mistakes. |
| 3× Tyrant Guard (or Hive Guard) | Tough core for holding mid-board objectives – durable “bodyguard” bruisers that survive and keep position. |
| 1× Biovore (or Pyrovore) | Space control: indirect fire and, most importantly, Spore Mines for zoning, slowing, and forcing hard choices. |
| 1× Parasite of Mortrex | Fast threat and “mission” unit – great for flanks, scoring, and finishing weakened targets. |
| Spore Mines | Mines for the game – excellent for blocking lanes, protecting objectives, and disrupting enemy movement. |
| Bases + instructions | All matching bases and a clear assembly guide (models are supplied unassembled and unpainted). |
Recommended paints for Tyranids (fast Leviathan scheme)
A basic palette for quick “battle ready” results, with room to expand into more detail.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Colour Spray: Wraithbone
Use: A bright base for fast “organic” schemes – ideal for Contrast paints and clean details.
Main model colors
Skeleton Horde
Use: Tyranid skin and bodies – quick one-coat shading over Wraithbone.
Leviathan Purple
Use: Carapace – an iconic purple tone that looks finished fast and adds strong contrast.
Leadbelcher
Use: Metallic details (often just small mechanical parts, ammo, chains, braces).
Detail accents
Abaddon Black
Use: Claws, teeth, spikes, eyes (or lining), and dark contrast details on weapons.
Flesh Tearers Red
Use: Tongues, mouths, fleshy details, and bold accents (fast and striking).
Shading (Shade / Wash)
Nuln Oil
Use: Quick darkening for recesses, weapons, and metals – great “instant depth” with minimal effort.
Highlights (optional)
Genestealer Purple
Use: Light edge highlights on the carapace – a few strokes makes the model look cleaner and sharper.
Effects and basing (optional)
Astrogranite
Use: Fast base texture – apply, then optionally wash and drybrush.
Assembly and tools
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: Strong, clean bonding for multi-part plastic miniatures – great for beginners.
Citadel Base Brush (M)
Use: Fast basecoating for large areas (bodies, carapaces).
Citadel Layer Brush (S)
Use: Details: claws, eyes, teeth, carapace edges, and precise finishing.
How to win with it – a simple game plan
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Genestealers = early pressure | Play them aggressively but smart: move from cover to cover, then charge a key target or objective. They force the opponent to react instead of scoring. |
| Tyrant Guard = hold the middle | Plant them on an important objective and let the opponent waste resources. You score while setting up the counterpunch. |
| Biovore + Spore Mines = space control | Place Spore Mines in lanes the enemy must use, or on angles you don’t want deep strikes. You control movement without direct combat. |
| Parasite of Mortrex = missions & finishing | Use it for secondaries, flank pressure, and finishing weakened units. It’s not a tank – play it for tempo and positioning. |
Beginner FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it playable right after purchase? | Yes – for Combat Patrol it’s a complete force. You only need the rules, dice, a tape measure, and some terrain (even improvised). |
| Are the models painted and assembled? | No – they are multi-part plastic, supplied unassembled and unpainted. Instructions and bases are included. |
| Is it hard to play? | Medium: the core plan is clear (push + space control), but best results come from smart charge timing and good use of cover. |
| Can I expand it into full 40k later? | Yes – it’s a great foundation. Add synapse, more swarm units, and later a bigger monster to match your style. |
How to continue after your first games
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Tyranids rules/datasheets and a detachment | Helps you understand synergies (synapse, buffs, tempo) and start building a larger army the smart way. |
| Add synapse and more board control | In bigger games you’ll value stability: synapse units, more bodies on the table, and additional threats the enemy can’t answer in time. |
Recommended next steps (army expansion)
| Follow-up | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More board control units | Extra cheap units help you hold more objectives, screen, and score more consistently. |
| Synapse / support | Synapse units improve army control and stability – less chaos, more plan. |
| A bigger threat (monster) | One large monster adds a “must-answer” threat – forcing the opponent to choose between objectives and survival. |
