Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leviathan (10th Edition Boxed Set)

Product Information

The Psychophage is a new arachnoid creature specifically bred to devour psykers. The model comes on a single medium sprue and stands on a 120 mm oval base. The overall shape is reminiscent of the Venomcrawler of the Chaos Space Marines, but what works for a Daemon Engine works for a Tyranid as well. It is noteworthy that this is the first Tyranid model where sculpted steam is coming out of the vents. Unfortunately, there is also a very noticeable seam line at the vents, where the two halves of the model meet, but otherwise, it is a beautifully designed model.

All of the models in Leviathan are new to 40k, with fresh takes on familiar units - such as Space Marine Terminators - and a surprisingly impressive redesigned transfers sheet. | Image credit: Games Workshop Defence of Valedor — Valedor was populated largely by pilgrims and monks.

[1b] Going up one on the scale, we’ve got a whole new unit in Neurogaunts. These are bodies– they fill space, protect your Neurotyrant, and spread Synapse – as long as they’re within Synapse Range, they gain the Keyword themselves. Putting the Neurotyrant in with this unit is also helpful because the Synaptic Relays ability is based on being in range of the Neurotyrant’s unit. That said, the tradeoff is that this makes your Neurotyrant’s unit much easier to shoot at since it’s now in a unit full of paper thin bodies that want to be stretched wide. They’re pretty terrible offensively (and defensively, 6+ save only), so hopefully they’re a very cheap way to put lots of bodies on the table.It’s a new Edition, so you know what that means – a whole box full of new plastic models, ready for you to unleash on your opponents. In 10th Edition we’ve got (surprise) Space Marines on one side and (actual surprise) Tyranids on the other, pitting ceremite, boltgun and flamer against a monstrous horde of bio-bugs. All of the minis in Leviathan are completely new, though there is a strong feeling of updated classics running through the selection. The Ballistus Dreadnought is the Primaris upgrade to the old lascannon and missile launcher-armed Dreadnought, bringing it in line with the melee-flavoured Brutalis and all-rounder Redemptor models, while the Sternguard Veterans and assorted Terminator-armoured models are new and improved versions of Space Marine stalwarts. The Terminator squad in particular embody an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy and feel very much like the minis we know and love, just upscaled to fit in with the Primaris Space Marines of the past few years. It’s less pronounced on the Tyranid side, who have a lot more brand new beasties, but the Screamer-Killer and Termagants both have that feeling of just being the way they should have always been. Darius: The fact that they’re so unknowable is actually one of the things I enjoyed. I think it makes them genuinely scary – most Warhammer 40,000 antagonists have a recognisable ideology, perhaps even goals that we can sympathise with (considering how bleak and oppressive the Imperium of Man is) but there’s no reasoning with the Great Devourer.
