Hive Guard are heavily armoured gun-beasts bound to extremely powerful symbiotic bio-weapons. They are created to guard the Tyranid Hive Ships and capillary towers that stand sentinel over prey worlds, until such time as intruders come within range of their deadly weapons.
The Hive Guard can be armed with either an impaler cannon or shockcannon. There are enough weapons to arm the complete unit with either option.
This plastic kit contains 102 components with which to make either 3 Hive Guard or 3 Tyrant Guard.

1. Free Shipping Exclusions
Please note, there are some free shipping exclusions such as spray paints or large and heavy items and the free shipping information bar at the top of the page may not reflect this. All products that are excluded from the free shipping will be indicated on their respective product pages or on the checkout page.
2. Order Amendments / Cancellations
We have worked hard to provide an efficient dispatch and shipping service, we all like to receive our goodies as fast as possible and we are set up to provide an incredible service.
If you place an order with us by 2:30pm (weekdays) it will be picked, packed and shipped the same day. Because of this, any cancellations and amendments must be made as fast as possible. Please use the following methods if you need to change something:
- email - customerservice@loadeddice.uk
- telephone - 01446 788 676
Please be aware - you MUST receive confirmation of some kind (verbal or written) that we have received your request and your order has been amended. If you do not receive a response your order may be dispatched unamended and you will be responsible for any returns of unwanted items. This is particularly important during busy times.
Orders that have been fulfilled and where a dispatch notification has been sent CANNOT be amended or cancelled under any circumstances. Please see below for your rights regarding your right to cancel.
All products are shipped via Royal Mail 48 Tracked as standard. Express service refers to Tracked 24 which usually means next working day, however this is not a guarantee. We apply a discretionary signed for service at no extra charge should the value of goods exceed a desired threshold set by us or if we deem an address may be problematic for Royal Mail staff.
3. Shipping Rates (Excluding RM Prohibited Items)

For Royal Mail prohibited items we will ship via a courier service and these prices are subject to change but will be displayed at checkout.
4. Why hasn't my order shipped yet?
If it is after 2:30pm on a Friday, a weekend or bank holiday you must wait until the next working day before your item is shipped. Where possible we will aim to ship faster but we reserve the right to adhere to the policy.
During peak times we will pick and pack on Saturdays in order to meet our fulfilment commitment to you. In light of this you may receive a shipment notification on a Saturday but the parcel will not leave us until the Monday. Please be aware of this as it does not mean you will receive your parcel a day earlier.
If you think your order has not been dispatched we ask that you wait 24 to 48hrs as there may be system delays that are out of our control.
If for whatever reason we cannot send your item in time we will contact you to discuss so please check your email (and spam folders).
5. Order Not Arrived
At Loaded Dice, we always endeavour to get your products to you quickly and safely, from time to time some deliveries may be delayed beyond our control and we would ask customers to be patient at this time if their package is delayed. Full details of your rights are below.
We strictly adhere to the following process:
- Please allow up to 7 working days from when you receive your shipping notification to contact us as we cannot investigate prior to this. Once this amount of time has passed please email customerservice@loadeddice.uk. We do not investigate and may not respond to emails asking us to do so if 7 working days have not passed
- If 7 working days has passed we can then investigate with Royal Mail as to where your shipment may be, this may take up to 5 days to complete and is completely out of our control.
- If your item cannot be located then we must file a claim with Royal Mail and we may need further information from you.
- If we ascertain that Royal Mail have likely lost your parcel then we will refund or replace the item.
- If a resolution cannot be reached and your item is still missing we reserve the right to wait for up to 90 days after purchase before issuing a replacement or refund.
6. Tracking says 'Delivered' but it's not
This does happen and more often than not it is either left with a neighbour or in a safe place. If you receive a delivery notification but have not received your package please do the following:
- Check your tracking for any further information that may clarify where your package is, there may be a picture or map information that will help you locate it.
- Check any outbuildings such as sheds, storage, porches, garages etc.
- Check with neighbours
If you have done this and your package still can't be located please report to us at customerservice@loadeddice.uk and we will investigate further. If we ascertain that Royal Mail have likely lost your parcel then we will refund or replace the item, but we reserve the right to fully investigate which can take up to 90 days.
7. Delivery Failure
If you fail to take delivery of the ordered goods and they are returned to us, we may contact you upon their arrival via email and/or refund of the cost of goods (minus shipping fees) will be processed within 7 days unless you have notified us before then to advise that the goods are still required. If the goods are still required, you will be charged an additional shipping fee for a second delivery which will be agreed with you prior to dispatch.
Signed for Service - we reserve the right to apply a 'signed for' requirement on any parcel depending on the type of address. This usually applies to flats, office buildings or locations where we deem it is worth providing extra proof of delivery. We are not responsible for any failed deliveries where someone has not been able to sign for the parcel.
Incorrect delivery address - the customer is entirely responsible for providing the correct delivery address as we ship exactly as it is written. We cannot physically check every address before sending out so please take care to fill it out correctly. If your order is shipped to an incorrect address and is 'delivered' then the customer is then responsible for retrieving the parcel from that address.
Any packages returned to us due to an incorrect delivery address will be refunded (minus the postage cost). If a redelivery is required then payment will be required for the redelivery. We are also not responsible for any delays caused by having an incorrect delivery address.
8. Incorrect Item Received or Item Missing
If you have received the wrong item or something is missing please let us know as soon as you open your parcel by contacting us at customerservice@loadeddice.uk and include photo evidence where possible. We will investigate and if we have made a mistake we will rectify it in a timely manner by sending a replacement or refunding.
Please note: It is your responsibility to check your delivery and inform us of any errors in a timely manner, we are not responsible for any special occasions that are time sensitive.
If something has been sent in error, depending on the cost and size of the item(s) involved we may arrange a courier collection and we will not be able to refund or replace until the incorrect item has been collected.
Please be aware, any fraudulent claims that can be proven could result in criminal prosecution. We have active measures such as CCTV that monitor all shipments being packed and we refer to this for evidence where necessary.
9. Right to Cancel
As a consumer you have the right to cancel your order 14 days after your purchase. We advise that you contact us as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment.
The outcome of your cancellation depends on the timeframe that this is done within:
1) Cancellation prior to dispatch - Full refund (including shipping cost) will be processed as soon as we confirm it has not been shipped from our warehouse (normally if you have not received a dispatch notification).
2) Cancellation after dispatch but prior to delivery - Customer must refuse goods and refund will be given once it is received by Loaded Dice. Any shipping fees will not be refunded.
3) Cancellation after goods received (within 14 days or sooner) - Customer is liable for the return shipping cost, refund will be given once the item is received by Loaded Dice and any shipping fees will not be refunded.
10. Stock Outs
Usually everything displayed on our site as "In Stock" is present in our warehouse and available for immediate dispatch. In the unlikely event that any ordered goods are not readily available to us, we reserve the right to cancel your order. You will receive an email notification of any order cancellation as a result of stock out confirming that any pre-authorisation has been released or payment refunded as relevant in line with our Payment Terms, to the extent that the out-of-stock item forms part of a larger order, all other goods ordered by the customer will be dispatched in the normal way.
11. Delivery Timeframes
It is our objective to achieve on time delivery on all orders. We monitor our delivery partners and our experience is that delivery is successful within the chosen delivery time period in 99% of cases.
We can use a number of third-party courier service providers. Once dispatched, the on-time delivery of a package is the responsibility of the relevant courier company and Loaded Dice cannot be held responsible for a package not reaching its destination on time.
In order to avoid disappointment, we suggest that customers place orders well in advance of when they are required to allow for any unforeseen delays. We accept no responsibility for delays/loss of revenue to customer's projects/deadlines due to shipping delays.
