Adam Troke investigates Robin Cruddace’s new Tyranid codex, its expanded invasion history and its greatly enlarged army roster. Artists and sculptors explain how shared anatomy keeps new creatures recognisably Tyranid while solving practical problems such as heavy Gargoyles and Raveners’ burrowing weapons. Rules discussion emphasises adaptable armies, clearer upgrades and legendary organisms, while painted examples distinguish flesh, chitin and symbiotic weapon beasts.

Its kit makes three distinct monsters: a close-range Trygon, a Synapse-bearing Trygon Prime or a Mawloc whose eruption damages enemies above it. The frame breakdown and design account show how extra armour, posture and variant heads produce both a consistent creature family and meaningful modelling choices.
