The Swarmlord

Behold the apex of Tyranid evolution—The Swarmlord, an ancient terror that has haunted the galaxy since the dawn of the Hive Mind itself. This magnificent Hive Tyrant bioform towers above all others, a living embodiment of predatory perfection and nightmare made flesh. Command the swarm with an entity that has toppled empires and orchestrated the annihilation of countless civilisations. Whether you're commanding your Tyranid forces or collecting the most iconic xenos warriors, The Swarmlord demands a place in your army. Dominate the battlefield with the very pinnacle of Hive evolution.

Unleash raw, primal power with this gruesome Swarmlord model, a dynamic centrepiece that elevates any Tyranid collection. Featuring a menacing chitinous carapace adorned with distinctive dorsal chimneys and a skeletal underbody of nightmarish proportions, this bioform radiates predatory grace. The kit offers exceptional customisation—arm your monster with either a stranglethorn cannon or heavy venom cannon to suit your battlefield strategy. Every detail screams evolutionary perfection, from its articulated limbs to its grotesque organic weaponry. Perfect for hobbyists seeking a showstopping display piece or competitive players demanding a formidable centrepiece unit.

Hive Tyrants
Commanders of the Tyranid swarm, Hive Tyrants are the enactors of the Hive Mind's will. Massively powerful creatures, every part of their body is perfectly created to maim and kill.

The Hive Tyrant is an incredibly dynamic model, posed with monstrous, fibrous and ragged wings extended out wide and with only its serpent-like tail touching the ground, as if launching off into flight (or to pounce on its prey). Like other Tyranids, it has a distinctive chitinous shell with chimneys on its back, and a hideous skeletal underbody. The Hive Tyrant – or the Swarmlord, which the kit can alternatively be used to assemble – makes a striking addition to any Tyranid collection. The kit features a massive variety of weapons options, including scything talons, rending claws, boneswords and a lash whip. There are also parts to customise your Hive Tyrant and represent various biomorphs.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 59 components and one 60mm base with which to build one Tyranid Swarmlord or one Tyranid Hive Tyrant.

This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
