Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Tyranids: Biovore / Pyrovore Kit (Black) – 37 Plastic Components

Overview

Unleash living artillery on the tabletop with the Tyranids Biovore kit, a multi-part model featuring a lumbering frame and a dorsal launcher that hints at the bio-organic power stored within. The spore-sac bulges with contained spores, ready to be unleashed across the board, offering dramatic, cinematic moments as you plot siege-like assaults. The accompanying Spore Mines can be launched from the Biovore or allowed to rain down from above, creating tense areas of impact and control that can shape your opponent’s approach.

Designed for flexibility, this kit lets you build a visible centerpiece that blends a savage presence with battlefield utility. The design language emphasizes a living, adaptive creature—one that feels like it could shift its stance or tilt its limbs to match the terrain around it while still maintaining a menacing silhouette on terrain features or a display shelf.

What you build

The kit includes a Biovore figure and three distinct Spore Mine variants, giving you a range of visual options to diversify your Tyranid brood. You also receive basing elements and the option to pose the Biovore with alternate leg configurations, letting you tailor the stance to your terrain or storytelling needs. An additional conversion path allows the Biovore to be assembled as a Pyrovore, a fire-based close-quarters threat, broadening how you use the model in your army list.

Customization and play options

• Three Spore Mine designs provide variety for a single brood or multiple batteries.
• Alternate Biovore leg poses and basing elements enable dynamic display and terrain-compatible poses.
• Biovore sculpture doubles as a Pyrovore option for close-range firefights.

These features combine to give you a visually striking model with potential for diverse in-game roles, from artillery support to aggressive close combat depending on how you assemble and position the pieces on the battlefield.

Modeling, assembly, and in the box

• Contains 37 plastic components, plus an 80mm round base and three 25mm round bases.
• Miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly; you’ll likely want Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints for best results.
• Conversion-ready kits offer alternate poses and a Pyrovore option to expand your Tyranids collection.

Tabletop presence and practicality

On the table, the Biovore provides a thematic artillery role, while Spore Mines contribute to area denial and strategic placement. The Pyrovore option adds a different flavor for players who enjoy close-quarters actions with a fire-themed twist. The set invites you to build varied basing and posing that matches your army’s aesthetic and terrain philosophy, helping you create a cohesive battlefield narrative without sacrificing modularity.

Tips for beginners

Dry-fit poses before gluing, plan the mine deployment sequence, and test multiple leg positions to balance the model on uneven bases. A modular approach keeps options open as your collection grows and your display needs evolve.
