Games Workshop Teases the Tyranids with Codex, Combat Patrol, and Parasite of Mortrex
The Tyranids are coming! The Tyranids are coming! Games Workshop has begun to tease the army including a look at the Codex, Combat Patrol, and a new creature.
Codex Tyranids will feature everything you need to build your swarm and devour everything on the table. The codex features updated rules, and background updated to the Octarian War.
Stratagems, Warlord Traits, the return of Synaptic Link abilities, are some of the rules you’ll find in the codex.
You’ll be able to quickly build your force with the Tyranids Combat Patrol.

Inside the box is Hive Tyrant which will use its telepathic abilities to support your Core units. You’ll be able to choose a variety of bio-weapons to personalize your force. Also in the box is 36 Termagants, 3 Ripper Swarms, and 3 Tyranid Warriors.
The Combat Patrol features enough variety for you to choose what type of swarm you want to run. Close combat. Long distance fire power. You can have it all!
The Tyranids get a new character in the Parasite of Mortex. The creature was first mentioned in the 5th edition but now it gets an official release and figure.
The Parasite of Mortex has Synapse, so sway over lesser bioforms. That combined with its stats will make this one creature to fear.
