TYRANIDS: DEATHLEAPER

Key Features The ultimate Lictor, an apex assassin for your Tyranids army Prey on enemy leaders and slice foes apart with wicked talons This tentacled terror spreads fear and wreaks havoc in the enemy ranks The Deathleaper is a rare and advanced development of the Lictor strain, perfectly evolved to act as a terror weapon. This apex Lictor possesses an instinctive understanding of how to spread fear through hostile forces and prey populations alike, using its skills in stealth, infiltration, and assassination to sow paranoia and dread before the hive fleet attacks en masse. This multipart plastic kit builds Deathleaper, the evolutionary pinnacle of the Lictor bioform. This epic creature looms dramatically over its lesser cousins, perched atop the infested wreckage of a ruined facility. Deathleaper exhibits all the classic Lictor features, augmented to be even more impressive and terrifying – more powerful talons and claws, extended and spiked tendrils, two additional pairs of eyes, and a living cloak of membranous webbing that shifts to obscure its silhouette even further. It's a fantastic project for painters, covered with alien biological details, and makes a sinister centrepiece model for stealthy Tyranid armies. This kit comprises 44 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 60mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
