Combat Patrol: Tyranid Assault BroodTyranids come in a shocking variety of forms, each more terrible than the last. Small disruption forces have been observed, led by a so called Parasite of Mortrex. Forces are protected by slab armoured Tyrant Guard and supported by walking artillery known as Biovores, who lob living spore mines high across the battlefield. Perhaps the most dangerous element is the aggressive and stealthy Genestealers, rushing forward to rend and tear with long, razor
Tyranids come in a shocking variety of forms, each more terrible than the last. Small disruption forces have been observed, led by a so-called Parasite of Mortrex. Forces are protected by slab-armoured Tyrant Guard and supported by walking artillery known as Biovores, who lob living spore mines high across the battlefield. Perhaps the most dangerous element is the aggressive and stealthy Genestealers, rushing forward to rend and tear with long, razor-sharp claws.If you want to consume all of the biomass in the galaxy, this box is the perfect way to start a new Tyranids collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. Leading the force is a nightmarish Parasite of Mortrex, infecting its prey with a barbed ovipositor. Three Tyrant Guard can smash through even the toughest of enemies while Genestealers scuttle forwards to mop up any survivors. Finally, a Biovore provides long-ranged support. These 18 plastic miniatures represent a complete Tyranid Assault Brood for use in tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000 – the rules for this Combat Patrol are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.
This set builds 18 plastic Tyranid miniatures:
– 1x Parasite of Mortrex
– 3x Tyrant Guard (which can alternatively be built as Hive Guard)
– 1x Biovore (which can alternatively be built as a Pyrovore)
– 3x Spore Mines
– 10x Genestealers
The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Genestealers each have a choice of head option, and the Biovore can alternatively be built as a flame-spewing Pyrovore.
The Tyrant Guard can be armed with crushing claws, scything talons, or a bone sword and lash whip. The heads, bodies, tails, legs, arms, and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, meaning you can unleash your inner Hive Mind when building them. They can alternatively be built as Hive Guard, armed with either an impaler cannon or shockcannon.
This kit comprises 260 plastic components, 1x Citadel 80mm Round Base, 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base, 3x Citadel 25mm Round Base, 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases, and 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases.
These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

8yo son and mom love this book
Format: Paperback
I’m a mom of two boys and one girl. I would first like to address the people complaining about the title saying “for boys.” The author has addressed this too and it’s part of the reason why I purchased this book. Boys are falling behind in school and reading. Not sure why some people are allowed to review these books when they haven’t read them or purchased them. Do your research if you have a boy in your life. I would also like to point out that bookstores frequently have shelves dedicated to girls about strong women, strong girls, etc and yes boys can read books in those sections just like girls can read these Great Battles for Boys books.
My 8yo son loves history and is devouring this book. I highly recommend. This book is really exciting and I (mom) am enjoying it too. We use it for read aloud time and independent reading. As soon as I finish this review I will be ordering more in the series, per my sons request.

Good buy
Format: Paperback
My previous reluctant reader is now a big reader. This series has helped. Both my boys 9 & 12 have enjoyed this series. Another series in addition to this, if looking to expand once you have all the titles, is Nathan's Hales Hazerdous Tales.

Concise, well researched and objective; a great homeschool resource
This is a great read; sufficiently detailed to be worth the time spent, but not so bogged down in minutia that you find yourself wondering how long the chapter is going to go on and glancing ahead to see if it ends with a quiz. Particularly notable is the prose: flowing, easy to read, a comfortable narrative. You get a sense of the author relaxed in an easy chair, his audience gathered about, attentive ears regaled with true tales of valor, intrigue, and conquest. But you will find no glorification of war between these covers; rather a well-balanced rendering of man at his best within his worst.
“Great Battles” is well researched, factual, and untainted with retroactive speculation and subjective parochialism that pervade some of today’s ‘historical’ accounts. In short, a valuable addition to any homeschool or military historian’s library; highly recommended.

FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
