Tervigon, a Massive Tyranid Bioform Spawning a Termagant

The Living Hive: “The Chime of Eons” and the Tyranid Tervigon

The Chime of Eons: A Biomechanical Nightmare

The artwork is titled “The Chime of Eons” by French illustrator Dimitri Bielak. It was specifically created for the Warhammer 40,000: Conquest Living Card Game (LCG), appearing as a card in the Gift of the Ethereals War Pack. This haunting piece by Dimitri Bielak perfectly captures the sheer biological horror of the Hive Mind’s ground forces. You can see the massive, chitinous Tervigon looming over the landscape like a living siege engine as it births a fresh Termagant into the fray. The lighting is incredible, casting a sickly orange glow over the battlefield that highlights the glistening, visceral details of the spawning process. It really makes you feel the scale of the Tyranid threat, where every fallen beast is immediately replaced by a dozen more hungry mouths.

The Tervigon: The Living Brood Mother

In the lore of Warhammer 40,000, a Tervigon acts as a mobile incubator and a powerful synapse creature for the swarm. These massive monsters carry thousands of dormant Termagants within their bloated carapaces, ready to be psychically jump-started and birthed directly into combat. On the tabletop, they are a nightmare to deal with because they can constantly replenish units, making the Tyranid tide feel truly endless. There is nothing quite as iconic as a Tervigon leading a carpet of gaunts across a doomed Imperial world.
