Description

Like the questing tendrils of some impossibly vast monster, the Tyranid hive fleets push deeper into the galaxy with every passing day. For every swarm destroyed by desperate defenders, another three drift into the light of beleaguered stars, ready to do battle. The Tyranids cannot be bought off, reasoned with, or put to flight – only fought or fled from. Against their seemingly inexhaustible numbers and endless hunger, even the thick hulls of voidborne craft cannot offer true safety from the Hive Mind.

Boarding Patrol: Tyranids provides a balanced force of hungry Tyranids infantry, perfectly suited to ripping apart foes or firing grotesque bio-weapons in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Guide the assault with a cunning Broodlord, able to tear apart any foe foolish enough to get close. He's supported by six versatile Tyranid Warriors, split into two groups of three and spawned with a variety of ranged and closed combat weaponry. Anything unlucky enough to survive their assault will be hunted down by a unit of Genestealers, who can be armed with either rending claws or scything talons – both perfect weapons for the confines of a space hulk.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Broodlord
– 6x Tyranid Warriors
– 8x Genestealers

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Broodlord, five Genestealers, and two three-model units of Tyranid Warriors.

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are miniatures used for in tabletop games?

Miniatures are small, detailed models used in tabletop games to represent characters, creatures, and scenery. They enhance the visual experience and aid in gameplay by providing a physical representation of game elements.

How do I paint my miniatures?

Painting miniatures involves several steps: priming the miniature with a base coat, applying base colors, adding details with fine brushes, and finishing with a protective sealant. Many hobbyists use acrylic paints and invest in quality brushes for the best results. You can pick some up from our Paints Section

What materials are miniatures typically made from?

Miniatures are commonly made from plastic, resin, or metal. Each material has its own advantages; plastic is lightweight and affordable, resin captures fine details well, and metal miniatures are durable and have a classic feel.

How can I start collecting miniatures?

Where can I buy miniatures?

What are some tips for assembling miniatures?

Use a hobby knife or clippers to carefully remove pieces from sprues. Dry fit parts before gluing to ensure proper alignment, and use a plastic or super glue appropriate for the material. Allow glued parts to fully dry before handling. All of these can be found Here

Can miniatures be used in different games?

While some miniatures are specific to certain games, many can be used across different tabletop games and RPGs, especially if they fit the theme or setting. Check the scale and style to ensure compatibility.

How should I store and transport my miniatures?

Store miniatures in a cool, dry place, ideally in a protective case with individual compartments to prevent damage. When transporting, use foam trays or padded bags to cushion the miniatures and keep them secure.
