The Tyranids 1-Click New Release Collection is the easiest way to purchase one each of the new plastic kits and the new Codex: Tyranids.

This collection includes Codex: Tyranids; 1 Harpy/Hive Crone; 1 box of Hive Guard/Tyrant Guard; 1 Haruspex/Exocrine; and 1 box of Tyranid Warriors.

These kits comes supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Harpies are monstrous bioforms that fly with a deftness and agility unattainable by even the most sophisticated fighter-craft. As they soar overhead, they rain clusters of living bombs onto prey worlds and spit death from their forelimbs. The Hive Crone is a flying monstrosity used by the Tyranids to establish air superiority over prey worlds. It is a creature perfectly adapted to aerial combat, able to wrestle enemy aircraft out of the skies.

Both kits share the same body and wings (including scything talons) with specific differences as detailed below.

The Harpy can be armed with either a twin-linked stranglethorn cannon or twin-linked venom cannon. There is a unique head featuring a long tongue and head crest and its carapace is distinguished by a series of vertical fins. The tail points upwards and spore mine cysts can be added to the rear of the model. There are also 3 separate spore mines included, each of which has a unique design.

The Hive Crone is distinguished by the delightfully disgusting, sack-fed drool cannon. The crest on its head also features a series of fins, whilst the body’s carapace sports a set of chimneys. There is also the option to add 4 tentaclids to the underside of the model.

This plastic kit contains 69 components with which to make either a Harpy or Hive Crone.

The Haruspex is a ferocious beast created to consume biomass at a sickening pace. It can devour an entire platoon of soldiers in a matter of moments, shovelling victim after victim into its jaws without pause. Exocrines are feared for their ability to deal death from afar. The Exocrine is purely a means of transportation for the bio-plasmic cannon nested into its flesh, a giant weapon able to unleash a vast ball of roaring energy, or several focussed streams of death from its multiple barrels.

Both kits share the same body, and rear and middle legs. Either version can also be armed with a thresher scythe tail biomorph.

The Haruspex’s most obvious feature is its grasping tongue that comes as part of an inside out stomach containing 3 sets of jaws. It’s also armed with a pair of crushing claws and has a horned head specific to this monster.

The Exocrine is armed with a massive bio-plasmic cannon that sits atop the creature’s body. It also comes with a pair of scything talons and has a unique head.

This plastic kit contains 47 components with which to make either a Haruspex or Exocrine.

Hive Guard are heavily armoured gun-beasts bound to extremely powerful symbiotic bio-weapons. They are created to guard the Tyranid Hive Ships and capillary towers that stand sentinel over prey worlds, until such time as intruders come within range of their deadly weapons. Tyrant Guard are the ultimate bodyguards, it is the entire purpose of their creation to protect their Hive Tyrant. They take the form of colossal living shields, all but impervious to even the heaviest weapons.

Both kits share the same body, heads and hind legs, as well as the choice of a pair of unarmoured secondary arms or rending claws (one of which holds the severed head of a Space Marine).

The Hive Guard models can be armed with either an impaler cannon or shockcannon. There are enough weapons to arm the complete unit with either option.

The Tyrant Guard can be armed with a pair of crushing claws; bone sword and lash whip; or a pair of scything talons. There are 3 sets of each weapon option, allowing the entire unit to armed identically. As well as this, each Tyrant Guard can be modelled with battle damaged shoulder armour.

This plastic kit contains 102 components with which to make either 3 Hive Guard or 3 Tyrant Guard.

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

Tyranid Warriors are the most adaptable of all the Hive Mind’s bioforms. They are efficient killing machines with the ability to employ a wide variety of bio-weapon symbiotes. On the battlefield they are found fighting in both close quarters and at long range, and form a vital link in the Tyranid swarm, acting as relays through which the Hive Tyrants issue their commands.

The Tyranid Warrior models come in 3 distinct poses with every single combination of weapon available on the frame. There is a staggering choice of weapons to choose from including 3 pairs of lash whips; 3 pairs of spinefists; 3 devourers; 3 pairs of rending claws; 3 pairs of scything talons; 3 deathspitters; 3 pairs of boneswords; a venom cannon; a barbed strangler; and 3 pairs of flesh hooks. These can be taken in a variety of combinations depending on how you want to arm your Tyranid Warriors.

This kit also includes the option to make a Tyranid Prime. This monster is distinguished with its own chest plate; head and crest; shoulder guards; and has the option to add a scythed tail.

As well as this multitude of options there are also enough adrenal glands and toxic sacs to add to the entire unit, and a choice of 4 different faces for the Warriors.

This plastic kit contains 89 components with which to make 3 Tyranid Warriors, or 2 Tyranid Warriors and a Tyranid Prime.

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

The Tyranids are the ultimate predators of the galaxy. They descend upon planets intent on devouring them and using all available biomass to further their own goals. Their armies are a living carpet of warrior-organisms who overwhelm their foes through brute force and sheer numbers.

The Tyranid Swarm is a fantastic value set that is a great way to start a Tyranid collection, or expand an existing one. It includes 10 Gargoyles; 40 Hormagaunts; 40 Termagants; 1 Carnifex; and 4 Ripper Swarms.

These kits come supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Carnifexes are living engines of destruction; towering monsters of unyielding armoured chitin and knotted alien muscle. They are one of the toughest and deadliest of all a hive fleet’s warrior creatures, their thunderous charges are akin to a living battering ram able to crush enemies and smash through obstacles with ease.

This fantastic value set contains 2 Carnifexes which you can assemble in a variety of poses and multiple weapon options. Each Carnifex comes with two pairs of scything talons; a pair of crushing claws; deathspitter; devourer; stranglethorn cannon; and heavy venom cannon. There are 5 alternate heads and the tail has the choice of thresher scythe or bone mace. You can even make the legendary Carnifex ‘Old One Eye’ should you wish.

This plastic kit contains 110 components with which to make 2 Carnifexes.
