Warhammer 40,000: Tyranids – Gargoyles

Fill the skies with a swarm of vicious winged organisms with the Tyranids: Gargoyles kit for Warhammer 40,000. Gargoyles are among the first Tyranid creatures to descend upon a prey world, using their speed and mobility to spread panic while the larger organisms of the hive fleet close in.

This kit contains 10 multipart plastic Tyranid Gargoyles, each equipped with a fleshborer and blinding venom. Their distinctive membranous wings, predatory features, and organic weaponry make them an excellent addition to a Tyranid collection, while their airborne poses add variety to an army already filled with monstrous and alien creatures.

On the tabletop, Gargoyles give Tyranid players a fast-moving unit capable of operating away from the main swarm. Their ability to take to the skies makes them well suited to grabbing objectives, applying pressure to exposed areas, and forcing an opponent to account for threats arriving from unexpected directions. Current Warhammer 40,000 rules also give Gargoyles the Deep Strike ability and the Winged Swarm rule, allowing them to reposition after shooting when circumstances permit.

For hobbyists, Gargoyles offer plenty of opportunities to develop a distinctive Tyranid color scheme. Their relatively compact bodies contrast nicely with their broad wings, giving painters a chance to experiment with contrasting skin, carapace, membranes, claws, and fleshy details. Whether you are matching an established Hive Fleet or creating your own bioform colors, a unit of Gargoyles can make a striking addition to the army.
