Tyranids: Biovore

Biovores are living artillery pieces, swollen with a clutch of explosive spore mines which they grow within their bodies. Once a Biovore has dug itself in with chitinous spurs, it is seized by violent spasms, launching its deadly progeny in high arcs as living ammunition. From there, the gas-filled spore mines detonate with a shower of bone shards and acid, or drift sluggishly across the battlefield to explode when prey draws near.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Biovore – a sentient Tyranid mortar – and three separate drifting Spore Mines. The Biovore's lumbering frame carries a symbiotic launcher on its back, its spore sac bulging with the biological ordnance waiting to be fired. The Spore Mines can be launched onto the battlefield by the Biovore, or simply rain down from the sky. The kit offers a variety of alternative leg poses and base terrain elements for the Biovore, plus three distinct Spore Mine designs, so you can add variety to your brood if you’re building an entire battery of artillery beasts.

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

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

Pyrovores exist to pre-digest biomass and minerals for their hive fleet. The acid that drips from their maws is corrosive enough to melt adamantium, produced by a gurgling network of stomachs that also fuel their symbiotic dorsal weapon with noxious and flammable gas. A single burst of this billowing chemical fire can engulf entire squads of prey – and it’s even dangerous to slay a Pyrovore, as its inflammatory innards can detonate upon death.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Pyrovore – a sentient flamethrower – and three separate drifting Spore Mines. The Pyrovore's armoured frame carries a flame-spitting symbiotic organism on its back, supported by a broad chitinous tail and bloated with noxious gases. The Spore Mines can be launched onto the battlefield by the Pyrovore, or simply rain down from the sky. The kit offers a variety of alternative leg poses and base terrain elements for the Pyrovore, plus three distinct Spore Mine designs, so you can add variety to your brood if you’re building an entire battery of weapon-beasts.

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