Product detailed description
Tyranid Hive Tyrant: The Will of the Swarm on the Battlefield
Hive Tyrants are the colossal commanders of the Tyranids, through whom the Hive Mind's will flows. They are not merely brutal monsters, but highly intelligent strategists capable of adapting an entire army to any threat in an instant.
About the King of Bio-monsters
This multipart plastic kit allows you to build one of the most iconic miniatures in Warhammer. The Hive Tyrant is the embodiment of evolutionary perfection – from its chitinous carapace with deadly chimneys to biomechanical weapons that can pierce even the thickest armor. The kit is unique in its variability; you can choose a walking version, a winged beast, or the legendary Swarmlord.
Where does it fit in the army?
The Hive Tyrant occupies the **HQ (Headquarters)** role in a Tyranid army. It is the cornerstone of your synaptic network, without which smaller bioforms like Termagants or Hormagaunts would scatter in instinctive chaos. It is the centerpiece around which your Hive Fleet's entire strategy is built.
Key Abilities
- Synapse: Keeps nearby units in a mental link, ensuring their fearlessness and discipline.
- Psychic Potential: Channels the powerful forces of the Hive Mind to crush enemy minds or fortify its own tissues.
- Will of the Hive Mind: Allows the use of Stratagems on nearby units at lower costs or with higher efficiency.
Battlefield Role
- Synaptic Node: Maintaining morale and control over the horde of smaller Tyranid creatures.
- Tank and Infantry Hunter: Thanks to the Heavy Venom Cannon or Bone Sabres, it can handle any target.
- Mobile Threat: In its winged variant, it functions as a fast strike unit for eliminating the enemy's rear lines.

| Maximum Survival | Utilize terrain and the "Onslaught" psychic power to maintain the advantage of the first strike. |
| Adaptability | If playing the Winged variant, keep it in reserve (Deep Strike) and strike where the enemy is weakest. |
