GW Reveals New Winged Tyranid Prime Flying Into 10th Edition!

Winged Tyranid Prime 3More Tyranids reveals are here; this time, a new Winged Tyranid Prime is coming to help destroy those Space Martines in 10th Edition 40k! 

Well, it looks like another model from the teaser video is coming to life with a new model! The pose is definitely a little different from the teaser video, but it’s cool for all Nids players, as it’s been a long time since we’ve really seen a big rework of the line.

Unfortunately, they didn’t show off any rules this time around (well, they sort of mention a rule), but you can also check out Von Ryan’s Leapers here!

Here are the quick links to the latest for 10th Edition Warhammer 40k and the full articles below!

Now let’s jump into the new mini!

New Winged Tyranid Prime Flying Into 10th Edition!

The model comes from Warhammer Community.

Winged Tyranid Prime

The Hive Mind has understood that simply walking up to your enemies sometimes won’t cut it. So it has had a little Hive Mind think about it and come up with a hive-style solution: wings!

Why walk when you can fly? Especially considering the Terminators are beefing up in size, you need to get to them as fast as possible! This new Prime model itself is pretty interesting, and maybe there will be an option to have the wings spread out more, like in the trailer.

Winged Tyranid Prime 6

With this stroke of inspiration, the Winged Tyranid Prime is born! With frightening speed and manoeuvrability they can drop down into the midst of the foe, slicing and ripping apart anything that gets too close.* 

As a Tyranid Prime, it boasts the strength and synaptic might of an alpha war-beast. And just look at that face – if you were a Hormagaunt and this thing told you to jump, you’d also ask how high…

They really only showed off one angle in the post, but luckily, there are some more in the video! Overall, it’s a pretty great looking mini and should be fun to throw down on the table and hobby on!

Tyranids Ripper Swarms 2

* They slice things up so small that the Ripper Swarms barely have to chew.

Interestingly, they do mention Ripper Swarms in this post, which seems to hint at the new Rippers we saw hidden in plain sight recently as well!
