New Tyranid Deathleaper Sculpt Stalks Into Warhammer 40,000
June 12, 2023 by brennon
Games Workshop have sold out of Leviathan boxed sets after a manic weekend on the internet. That means there are a lot of Tyranid collectors out there looking for more miniatures to add to their Warhammer 40,000 collection. How about a new sculpt for Deathleaper that got previewed this week?

The first miniature for Deathleaper popped up back in 2006 and so was in dire need of an update. This named Lictor is now stalking through the shadows as part of Hive Fleet Leviathan, seeking to cut down anyone in their way. If you're looking to induce terror in your opponents, this is the fellow you have to drop into your enemy's deployment zone.
Deathleaper (Details) // Warhammer 40,000
With a fancy new bio-cloak of some form and all of the barbed appendages that you'd expect from a creature like this, Deathleaper is looking particularly awesome. The added height gifted to the miniature by the terrain on the base means that it is going to dominate the battlefield and look awesome when it's peering down at its next meal.
Pair up Deathleaper with some of the new Von Ryan's Leapers and you've got an infiltration force that will be hard to shift! Remember that if you want to plan your next army, you can get your hands on the full set of Index Cards for the Tyranids in 10th Edition via a FREE PDF Download.
Will you be picking up Deathleaper for your next Tyranid invasion force?

They say “bio-cloak”, I see meat skirt.
Great model, the cloak looks stupid though
That bio cloak is dumb, dumb, dumb. Right up there with the Space Wolf Santa sleigh.
Good grief.
It’s a non-subtle “homage” to Dungeon and Dragon’s “Illithid” monster.
Von.licker vill see you now.
