Tyranid Biovore

$56.00

Warhammer 40k
Tyranids

The Biovore is a squat, bloated creature – yet no less deadly for all that. Deep within its lumpen form, the Biovore nurtures a clutch of Spore Mines – living bombs that blanket the enemy in acids, poisons and shrapnel-sized pieces of chitin. A Biovore launches these Spore Mines through the air towards its enemy, where they detonate not on impact, but when it senses the proximity of a non-Tyranid life form.

When it comes to artillery the Tyranids are sadly lacking. This is where the Biovore comes in, as it can launch Spore Mines high into the air, dropping them amongst your opponents where they will either detonate with a spectacular blast, or lurk innocently until something gets too close (or pokes it with a sharp stick). This ability makes them very useful for securing objectives, which they can pepper with spore mines, making your opponent’s job of capturing it just that little bit harder.

This pack contains one Tyranid Biovore – a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in eight components (including three spore mines), and is supplied with one 60mm round base and three 25mm round bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints.

Description

Biovores are living artillery pieces, swollen with the clutch of explosive Spore Mines that they nurture within their bodies. Upon anchoring itself to the ground with chitinous spurs, a Biovore undergoes violent spasms that expel its volatile offspring in high arcs as living ammunition. From there, the gas-bloated Spore Mines detonate in a shower of bone shards and acid rain, or else drift languidly down onto the battlefield, primed to explode whenever prey draws near.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Biovore – a sentient Tyranid mortar – as well as three floating Spore Mines. The Biovore’s lumbering form supports a symbiotic dorsal launcher, its spore-sac bulging with biological explosives waiting to be fired. The Spore Mines can be launched onto the battlefield by the Biovore, or simply rain down from the skies. The kit offers several alternate leg poses and basing elements for the Biovore, as well as three distinct designs of Spore Mine, allowing you to maintain variety in your brood as you build a whole battery of artillery-beasts.

The Biovore in this kit can alternatively be built as a Pyrovore, a fire-spewing Tyranid creature.

This kit comprises 37 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 80mm Round Base and 3x Citadel 25mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.Warhammer 40k
