Andy Hoare talks to Phil Kelly, Jes Goodwin and Roberto Cirillo about renewing the Tyranids without discarding their established identity. Kelly integrates custom hive fleets into each brood’s options, strengthens Synapse protection and develops the Broodlord and new Lictor rules; Goodwin carries consistent six-limbed anatomy and details from early miniatures into the new plastics. Cirillo describes coordinating organic concepts with sculpting and game requirements, while the studio explains Leviathan’s distinctive pale flesh and purple carapace.

Phil Kelly explains why customization now represents whole broods rather than isolated mutants and why the codex omits special characters in favour of the swarm. Revised Instinctive Behaviour uses familiar Leadership tests, while Synapse protects medium-sized creatures from Instant Death. The discussion introduces deep-striking Spore Mine broods, a Broodlord-led infantry force and Lictors that arrive through terrain and improve Reserve rolls; playtesting favoured a mixed swarm over either extreme of tiny creatures or monsters.

Roberto Cirillo recalls joining Games Workshop in 2004 after nearly thirteen years in computer-game design and immediately working on Tyranids. His Hive Tyrant concepts developed Jes Goodwin’s existing ideas while preserving a recognizable family resemblance. Cirillo’s fascination is the complete integration of weapons and organs into a living creature; discussions with Phil Kelly also keep imaginative designs compatible with their intended battlefield role.

Jes Goodwin explains the Tyranids as evolving alien dinosaurs rather than literal insects, with six limbs, forehead plates, breathing spiracles and weapon-bonded claws linking generations of sculpts. Genestealers retain clues to human ancestry and an optional tentacled head recalls the original Ymgarl creature. The Hive Tyrant becomes a more characterful commander, while the plastic Carnifex provides the swarm’s tank equivalent and enough components to echo the original Screamer Killer.

Phil Kelly shows how small changes of limbs, heads and weapons can give individual roles to otherwise repetitive Tyranid broods. Termagants become hunters or firing beasts, separate Spinegaunt arms suggest movement, and Gargoyle bodies produce airborne-looking Hormagaunts. The final technique uses partly cured epoxy to stretch thin strands of drool between jaws or from living weapons, with a warning that restrained effects look more convincing than excessive slime.

Termagant poses are built around the fleshborer arm: lowering it suggests searching for prey, turning the head away suggests communication, and bringing both arms up aligns the eyes with a firing weapon. The feed arm is adjusted gently to fit the chosen stance, either by extending the elbow or removing a small wedge before closing it. This approach gives a brood visual purpose without replacing its basic components.
Warhammer 40,000Tyranids
ModellingWD 306 · p. 25
Alternative toxin-sac positions on the carapace, feed arm or fleshborer make upgraded Termagants legible while leaving space for other biomorphs. Spinegaunts use their separate gun arms and sometimes running Hormagaunt bodies to create sprinting or firing-on-the-move poses. Gentle changes at a leg or knee tilt the body, but bending the thin ankle connection is discouraged because it readily breaks the model.

A Gargoyle body attached to a normal round base by its curled tail supplies the height for a Hormagaunt that appears to leap over an opponent. The tail is bent to bring the centre of mass above the base, which is weighted underneath, then Hormagaunt limbs and forward-reaching scything talons are added. A few such models in each brood create the impression of a cascading attack without rebuilding every miniature.

Epoxy resin becomes stringy as it sets, allowing a cocktail stick to pull fine strands between Tyranid jaws or down from a tongue. A tiny amount of Scorpion Green colours the mixture, which can also suggest sticky secretions from devourers and deathspitters. The author recommends practising on spare Carnifex heads or weapons and limiting the amount so that the creature looks ravenous rather than overwhelmed by its own drool.

Phil Kelly’s 2,500-point Tyranid swarm attacks Owen Rees’s Imperial Guard while Inquisitor Kluctmier tries to carry a potentially decisive biological weapon across Granica IV to his shuttle. Owen deploys three infantry-and-tank groups, counterattack troops and a costly Deathwatch escort; Phil sends fast broods into the line while monsters and infiltrators converge on the fleeing Chimera. The transport falls and Genestealers kill the Inquisitor, securing the Tyranids’ primary objective.

This six-turn mission places an Inquisitor’s Chimera and waiting shuttle 56 inches apart in the defender’s zone. The Imperial player must reach the shuttle and can earn a greater victory by preserving more than half the army’s value. The attacker wins by stopping the Inquisitor or eliminating all other infantry, and achieves the strongest result by doing both. Alternating deployment, Infiltrate and Deep Strike force both sides to balance the escape route against the wider battle.

Space Marines including Tyrannic War Veterans raid a spawning pool concealed inside the Tyranid deployment area. Shooting cannot destroy the target: a non-vehicle model must assault it, remain in contact through its following Assault phase and release a mutagenic bomb. Both sides have Sustained Attack, but their returning troops enter from different edges; the defenders also use Hidden Set-up. The fixed six-turn limit rewards a concentrated assault rather than merely inflicting casualties.

Andy Hoare and Mat Ward expand Luthor Harkon’s neglected Vampire Coast background into an official alternative Vampire Counts army. Its compulsory commander determines a minimum army size of 2,000 points, and the authors caution that tournament use depends on permission for special characters. Undead sailors combine aquatic movement and conventional crumbling rules with unreliable black-powder shooting, always striking last in combat.

Luthor Harkon is the compulsory general whose death threatens to crumble the Vampire Coast army. His attempted plunder of a warded Slann vault shattered his mind and severed his normal access to magic, leaving an anti-magic field instead. A personality table can make him confused, frenzied, rational or hate-filled; a final-wound trigger can briefly grant regeneration. The surrounding history follows his arrival in a stolen sarcophagus and his continuing search for artefacts that might restore his sanity.

Pirate-only magic items trade familiar fantasy equipment for hooks, drinking supplies, a parrot and navigational tools. Several drinks grant a brief combat or terror effect but risk harming the drinker, while Slann Gold makes its bearer a low-level Death wizard. Other choices provide scouting, character targeting, additional attacks or protection from hostile magic. These items are selected within the army list’s ordinary allowances; Ship’s Colours grants fear to its unit.

Razortooth Rats are skirmishing swarms that neither block sight nor accept characters, while Deck Droppers use bats carrying Zombies to supply a flying unit. Carronades are short-ranged cannons able to move and fire, Animated Hulks are reanimated Ogres with an unpredictable number of attacks, and Deck Gunners wield unusually powerful long-ranged swivel guns. The selection adds mobility and heavier weapons without replacing the army’s mass of ordinary dead sailors.

The Rotting Leviathan supplies a terrifying, heavily scaled sea monster whose slimy hide makes it harder to hit in melee. Queen Bess is a unique cannon with an exceptional range and a template-based impact and bounce procedure, but its initial shot rolls two artillery dice and risks misfires.

The manuscript ends abruptly and its illegible or incomplete passages preserve uncertainty about prophecies, rather than presenting a definitive scholarly account.

Army choices are tied to Itza’s residents and duties: Xlotc favours Life and Light against the undead, Tepec-Inzi suggests Fire and Death, and Saurus generals or Skink Priests often lead more ordinary expeditions. Saurus and Skinks remain the core, with Sacred Hosts, Terradons and Stegadons supporting the theme. A proposed ambush game imagines a relocating Slann escorted by great beasts, potentially changing victory conditions to reward escape rather than destruction.

Mark Jones uses photographs of real rust to explain why age, wear and exposed metal edges produce different finishes. Worked examples apply stippling, toothbrush flicking, verdigris, combined rust-and-chipping effects and thin washes over metallic terrain. Brown and orange layers build corrosion while selected bright edges suggest recent use; green underpainting beneath bronze creates a different form of oxidation. Examples range from Ogre weapons and Chaos armour to building panels and a warp gate.

Two methods create a broken rust surface over Dark Flesh. Stippling uses a nearly dry old brush to dab Vermin Brown and Blazing Orange, then restores worn metal at the edges with Chainmail. Flicking instead sprays successive colours from an old toothbrush, producing a finer irregular speckle. Ogre examples painted by Dave Cross and Dave Andrews demonstrate how these textures can be applied to weapons and armour.

A Chaos Warrior demonstrates a brighter rust finish made by combining mottled colour and chipped metal. Vermin Brown covers the armour before a Chaos Black glaze supplies depth; stippled Blazing Orange and Fiery Orange build vivid corrosion.

A building panel starts with Tin Bitz and a Boltgun Metal drybrush to establish reflective metal. Diluted Vermin Brown is then worked into the surface, followed by a more restrained Blazing Orange wash, producing matte rust against the metallic base.
