TYRANT GUARD

Eyeless mass of muscles and chitin these Tyranid monsters are the bodyguards of the Hive Tyrant. When bioengineering perfect and complex organisms like Hive Tyrants many hundreds fail to have the attributes and synaptic brains of such faultless creature, the results of the failed Hive Tyrants is the Tyrant Guard. Highly connected to the Hive Tyrant the Tyrant Guards are pure animal shields that defend the master Tyranid at all cost.

Well since I saw old miniatures I always had the motivation to sculpt my own Tyrant Guard but when I saw the new sculpts I was totally convinced to go for it.
So I will create 3 new Tyrant Guard organisms for my fleet.

First, since I believe they are unsuccessful manufactured Hive Tyrants (just look at Guards stats) and shields of flesh, they have to be very big and imposing. They have to be gig enough to shield a Tyrant because that’s why they are still kept alive in my Hive fleet, so at least as big as Tyrants was the starting point of my new organisms.

Then after looking at amazing official concept art I was inspired to play with lots of chitin plates and cool head designs…

So big with heavy carapace and eyeless monster heads these hulks will thunder on the battlefield.
