Tyranids: Barbgaunts

Barbgaunts are little more than living weapons, their bodies and bio-cannons subjugated to the will of a pulsating ganglia parasite that rides them into battle. Once in position, they can unleash volleys of chitin-spikes that explode with the fury of untamed muscle spasms, pinning nearby victims in a hail of jagged projectiles.

This multi-part plastic kit builds five Barbgaunts – Tyranid creatures engineered as biological artillery. Each of these hunched and bulky bioforms is fused with a grotesque spike-thrower – its five short limbs brace its living weapon or provide stable footing for firing, while its sixth is little more than a vestigial claw. These beasts of burden are controlled by cerebral parasites, whose fleshy tendrils grow into each Barbgaunt’s eyeless skull to direct the organic munitions.

This kit comprises 20 plastic components and comes with 5x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
