Aly Morrison and Tom Walton’s plastic Trygon builds on Simon Egan’s Forge World model while sharing proportions with the Carnifex. 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.

Studio players explain the battlefield roles of the new Tyranid army’s major threats. Expendable broods overwhelm target priorities, Raveners attack from unexpected positions and cheap Gargoyles provide a fast swarm, while more durable Warriors strengthen the middle of the force. Genestealers can include a Broodlord and Carnifexes can form broods, encouraging an army built from cooperating layers rather than a single preferred monster.
