New Von Ryan’s Leapers Jump Into 10th Edition Warhammer 40k!

We thought the new Space Marines Lieutenant was stealthy, but he’s just the product of decades of training in the art of subterfuge. By comparison, a new creature unleashed by the Tyranids has been spawned and evolved to become one of the galaxy’s ultimate hunters.

These definitely look scary, and when compared with the video teaser, they look even more frightening!

The video is a little blurry (well, just the screenshot of them attacking), but you can see all the model elements! Don’t worry; they also show more in the video below.

The Hive Mind has numerous ways of waging war – overwhelming the foe with hordes of Termagants, melting bastions apart with the living artillery of the Tyrannofex, or by ambushing with more subtle fear-inducing organisms such as the Lictor. Added to this last list are the Von Ryan’s Leapers. These creatures are the ultimate ambush predators, though they’re just as dangerous when jumping out from behind things that aren’t bushes.

It looks like there will be three models in the kit, and if you remember, these have been mentioned in lore a few times.

They were mentioned long ago in the TCG, and the old 4th Edition codex book as “an evolution of the Hormagaunt.” Now, having a model for them is fantastic.

This gives some hope for older models mentioned in old 3rd-5th edition codexes, but don’t get your sights set too high; we don’t expect to see a Catachan devil or Fenrisian Kraken anytime soon.

Von Ryan’s Leapers are swift, agile, and utterly lethal. When the time is right, they emerge to eviscerate their unfortunate enemies in a murderous fury. As ambush predators, they have much in common with Lictors, but rather than being lonewolves, these are pack-hunters.

This means there is still a chance for new Lictors, and having a pack of three of these come at you has to be scarier. You’ll have more ways than ever to hunt down Space Marines!
