Games Workshop Warhammer 40k Tyranids Tyrannofex / Tervigon – Black, Self-Assembly Miniature

Overview

Immerse yourself in the dark biology of the Tyranids with the Tyrannofex / Tervigon miniature from Games Workshop. This Black variant captures the unsettling idea of a giant living incubator, its shell studded with spurs and a swollen abdomen hinting at what lies beneath. The sculpt emphasizes a multi-laceted creature built for both battlefield presence and display, with four strong limbs and a segmented tail that hints at its ominous purpose. While designed for hobbyists, the figure’s dramatic silhouette and intricate texture invite careful painting to reveal every ridge, plate, and chitinous detail.

The model is designed for self-assembly and painting, allowing you to tailor the look to your collection, your color scheme, and your personal storytelling. The kit includes 76 plastic components and a large oval base, giving you a robust centerpiece for your Warhammer 40k table or a striking display piece on a shelf or cabinet. Citadel paints and plastic adhesive are commonly used by hobbyists to bring out the texture and depth in these kinds of kits, and the assembly process offers a satisfying, hands-on building experience.
