Tyranids: Venomthropes

Venomthropes drift forward wrapped in a killing fog of spores, whip-tentacles dripping with toxins so potent a touch means death. On the table they're a support unit that shrouds nearby beasts from enemy fire — and the same box builds psychic Zoanthropes instead, so it's a properly flexible plastic kit. Grotesque, characterful and useful three ways.

What's in the box

Build options

• 3 Venomthropes — spore-shrouding support
• 3 Zoanthropes — psychic firepower
• Or 2 Zoanthropes and a Neurothrope

One box, three units, loads of character — a smart buy for a swarm that wants options.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue and paints sold separately. Give the beast they're shielding some teeth — a Hive Tyrant is a fine choice — and paint the miasma with Citadel Colour.
