There look to be a ton of miniatures hidden in plain sight in the 10th edition trailer for both Space Marines and Tyranids!
Games Workshop did reveal a couple of models (which we’ll also look at), but the trailer had plenty more models inside than what they showed!
Obviously, these aren’t technically confirmed 100% by GW, so take them with as much salt as you need. Here are the quick links to the latest for 10th Edition Warhammer 40k and the full articles below!

Models Hidden in Plain Sight: New 10th Edition Tyranids & Space Marines Miniatures
First up, we’ve heard rumors for a while about a flamer unit/Pyroblasters, and it looks like it’s coming true. Them having a very similar style to the Black Templars ones. On top of that, they also show some combi-flamer units, so there are plenty of new flames to burn out those Nids!
A new Carnifex (perhaps inspired by the old ones) seems to be up next with some kind of plasma attack!
Then for the Nids, if they are getting new Termagants, it only makes sense they get new Hormagaunts and Ripper Swarms!
Back to the Space Marines, they basically confirm the new Redemptor-style shooting dread. We’ve heard rumors forever, so it only makes sense.
These were a little hard to see, but if you ask us, this looks like new Lictors! They are quite old minis, so it would be nice to see them get a rework.
This looks like it could be a new Biovore where they eat up ammo and shoot it out.
The little bugs on side of the big psychic bug look like OG walking Zoanthropes in our opinion.
Terminator Librarian with force axe, and even though he dies in the trailer, he’ll be back!
This looks like a new Gravis Apothecary but we don’t really get a good shot of weapons.
This could be new Sternguard Veterans maybe? Not the best shots of it in the trailer.
Last but not least, the new Phobos Lieutenant, dual-wielding combat knives that was pretty much made directly into a miniature,
So that seems to give us the following new miniatures in the Warhammer 40k 10th Edition Starter Box set:
New 10th Edition 40k Space Marines Miniatures:
- 1 Terminator captain
- 1 Terminator librarian (inspired by 19080s Space Hulk)
- 5 Terminators
- 1 Ancient
- 5 Intercessors Sternguards (with similar rifles to Heavy Intercessors, and wearing similar robes)
- 10 Incursors (Pyroblasts? with flamers similar to Black Templars)
- 1 New Redemptor Dreadnought (with missiles & twin lascannon)
- 1 Gravis Apothecary
- 1 Phobos-style Lieutenant with new weapon load outs. Looks to be a Tyrannic War Veteran as he kills bugs good with just two combat knives.
New 10th Edition 40k Tyranids Miniatures:
- Larger Psychic Brain Bug with two 90s style Zoanthrope ‘familiars’
- Shrike Prime (so big it rips a Terminator in half)
- Lictor (takes out the Apothecary)
- Screamer Killer Carnifex style model with Bio Plasma Attack
- New Termigants
- New Hormagaunts (seem to run like dinosaurs from the movies)
- Smaller Toxicrenes, Biovores, or even a new Pyrovore style models with feeder tendrils that look to scavage the ground.
- Ripper Swarms
- Spore Mines (larger perhaps)
