If your chosen Hive Fleet does not have an associated Hive Fleet Adaptation in Codex - Tyranids: /tg/'s 8th Edition, you can create its Hive Fleet Adaptation by selecting two different rules from the following list: | |||
*'''Adaptive Exoskeleton''' Units with this | |||
*'''Bestial Nature''' Units with this | *'''Adaptive Exoskeleton''' ''The gaunt-derived creatures produced by some hive fleets secrete a waxy, resinous material that hardens into a slick layer of protection, deflecting or absorbing hits.'' | ||
*'''Bio-metallic Cysts:''' Improve the | ::Units with this adaptation add 1 to their armour save rolls but may not Advance. | ||
*'''Biosphere Consumption:''' Roll a die each time a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} unit with this adaptation that is within an organic piece of terrain loses a wound; on a 5+ that wound is not lost. | |||
*'''Cranial Channeling:''' Once per turn, every {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} unit with this adaptation may re-roll the result of | *'''Bestial Nature''' ''The monstrous organisms of this hive fleet embody a savage ferocity. When wounded near unto death, they lash out in animalistic fury, making taking them down a suicidal prospect.'' | ||
*'''Feeding Frenzy''' | ::Units with this adaptation add 1 to their attack characteristic and hit rolls in a turn in which they charged, were charged or performed a heroic intervention. However, if the previous conditions are not fulfilled, this unit subtracts 1 from its hit rolls in the Fight phase. | ||
*'''Horrors from Beyond:''' Enemy units have to subtract 1 from their Leadership characteristic if within 12" of a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} with this adaptation and have to subtract 1 from their hit rolls. | |||
*'''Hypermetabolic Acceleration''' | *'''Bio-metallic Cysts:''' ''Incubated within the bladed limbs of this hive fleet’s weapon-beasts are colonies of cysts whose bio-metallic edges can slice through armour.'' | ||

*'''Prey-sight''' | |||
*'''Senses of the Outer Dark:''' When a model with this adaptation would lose a wound to Overwatch fire, roll a D6. On a 4+, that wound isn’t lost. In addition, models with this adaptation don't suffer penalties to their hit rolls as a result of special rules such as ''Night Fighting'' or ''Dawn Raid''. | *'''Cranial Channeling:''' ''The craniums of this hive fleet’s psyker-beasts contain a clutch of symbiotic larvae whose entire life-cycle revolves around the channelling of the Hive Mind. With an instinctive impulse, the carrier will absorb one of these creatures into their swollen brain matter, thus becoming a more efficient and fluid extension of the hive fleet’s will.'' | ||
*'''Shrewd Predators:''' Units with this adaptation can re-roll all charge rolls and hit rolls in melee if they charged an enemy unit that is outside of their line of sight. | ::Once per turn, every {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} unit with this adaptation may re-roll the result of one Psychic test. | ||
*'''Sporemist Spines:''' When enemies make a melee attack against a unit with this adaptation, subtract 1 from the hit roll. | |||
*'''Synaptic Augmentation:''' | *'''Feeding Frenzy''' ''With dormant glands that suddenly burst into life, and reinforced, adaptive cartilage powering headlong leaps, the swarms of this hive fleet feed their urge to close with their prey as quickly as possible.'' | ||
::At the end of the Fight phase, in a turn in which it charged, was charged or performed a heroic intervention, a unit with this adaptation regains a number of previously lost wounds equal to the number of wounds it inflicted. | |||
*'''Horrors from Beyond:''' ''Whether due to some sickening aura of the Hive Mind or simply their terrifying size and predatory hunger, this hive fleet’s larger organisms are so monstrous that few are the heroic or insane who can stand before them and not be paralyzed by fear.'' | |||
::Enemy units have to subtract 1 from their Leadership characteristic if within 12" of a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} unit with this adaptation and have to subtract 1 from their hit rolls. | |||
*'''Hypermetabolic Acceleration:''' ''This hive fleet bio-engineers its horrors with multiple stimm-releasing glands. Surges of extragalactic chemicals drive them to frenzied rushes across the prey worlds.'' | |||
::When a unit with this adaptation Advances, you can re-roll the Advance roll. | |||
*'''Membranous Mobility:''' ''This hive fleet’s skyswarm bioforms evince an unusually complex web of membranous tissue, allowing them to weave and jink with such astounding flexibility that lets them spread out like gusts of wind.'' | |||
::A unit with this adaptation that can {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} can Advance in a turn in which it Falls Back. | |||
*'''Methamorphic Regrowth:''' ''Within the flesh of its limitless broods, this hive fleet has adapted strange conglomerate organs and pathogen-hunting spores that can rapidly reknit any damage.'' | |||

::{{W40kKeyword|Monster}} models with this adaptation do not suffer the penalty for moving and firing Heavy weapons, nor for Advancing and firing Assault weapons. | |||

::As long as a unit with this adaptation is within 9” of another unit with this adaptation, it adds 1 to its movement distances and hit rolls during the Fight phase. | |||
*'''Prey-sight:''' ''Some hive fleets’ horrifying colossi close with the enemy while straining their multiple alien senses, the prey’s every movement and position noted. When it comes, the strike is inescapable.'' | |||
::If a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} unit with this adaptation makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, then until the end of the turn, when resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model in that unit, add 1 to the hit roll. | |||
*'''Senses of the Outer Dark:''' ''Developed beyond the galaxy, this hive fleet’s organisms’ preternatural senses are triggered by surges of aggression as they close with the enemy. The prey’s fearful defensive fire is dodged with blinding speed.'' | |||
::When a model with this adaptation would lose a wound to Overwatch fire, roll a D6. On a 4+, that wound isn’t lost. In addition, models with this adaptation don't suffer penalties to their hit rolls as a result of special rules such as ''Night Fighting'' or ''Dawn Raid''. | |||
*'''Shrewd Predators:''' ''This hive fleet’s synaptic coordination is so overwhelming that it compels its organisms to override their baser instincts, unnervingly moving in unexpected directions – all the while closing the snare on their prey.'' | |||
::Units with this adaptation can re-roll all charge rolls and hit rolls in melee if they charged an enemy unit that is outside of their line of sight. | |||
*'''Sporemist Spines:''' ''Ejected with a muscular spasm from between carapace plates, these clouds of microscopic living spores create a dense and thick mist upon the battlefield, allowing this hive fleet’s broods to get closer without worrying too much of enemy fire.'' | |||
::When enemies make a melee attack against a unit with this adaptation, subtract 1 from the hit roll. | |||
*'''Synaptic Augmentation:''' ''This hive fleet has refined its conduits to the lesser organisms, allowing for subtle control and augmentation of their instincts. So directed, they are far more deadly.'' | |||
::When an enemy unit declares a charge against a {{W40kKeyword|<Hive Fleet>}} {{W40kKeyword|psyker}} unit with this adaptation, a unit of the same {{W40kKeyword|<Hive Fleet>}} that is within 6" of it may fire Overwatch as if they were also targeted. A unit that does so cannot fire Overwatch again in this turn. When doing so, the unit may re-roll all hit rolls. | |||
==Adaptive Physiologies== | ==Adaptive Physiologies== | ||
If a Tyranids {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}} is your Warlord, rather than determining a Warlord Trait for that model, you can instead select an Adaptive Physiology for one {{W40kKeyword|Tyranids}} unit from your army. To do so, before the battle begins, select one {{W40kKeyword|Tyranids}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit or one {{W40kKeyword|Tyranids}}{{W40kKeyword|Monster}} model from your army (other than any unique character), and select an Adaptive Physiology from the corresponding list below. That Adaptive Physiology applies to the selected model or unit until the end of the battle. Write down any Adaptive Physiologies your models have on your army roster. | |||

::When this unit consolidates, it can move up to 2D6” instead of 3". | |||
'''-Dynamic Camouflage:''' ''Chromatospores in this brood’s skin and carapace adapt at a frightening pace, seamlessly blending their alien forms into their surroundings.'' | |||
::When resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon against a model from this unit that is receiving the benefit of cover, add 2 to the saving throw instead of 1. | |||
'''-Enhanced Resistance:''' ''The subcutaneous fibroid membranes of these bioforms are capable of absorbing even armour-piercing shots and blows.'' | |||
::When resolving an attack made against this unit with a weapon that has an Armour Penetration characteristic of -1 or -2, that weapon has an Armour Penetration characteristic of 0 for that attack. | |||
'''-Unnatural Reactions:''' ''This brood uses unique alien senses and its connection to the Hive Mind to react instantly to prey attacking other Tyranids nearby.'' | |||
::This unit can perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}}. In addition, this unit can perform a Heroic Intervention if there are any enemy units within 6" of them instead of 3", and when doing so can move up to 6" instead of 3". | |||
===Monster=== | |||
'''-Accelerated Digestion:''' ''The ravenous hunger of this monstrous creature is complemented by a dizzying array of consumption sacs and ferociously powerful digestive acids, fuelling its alien vitality with every screaming morsel of prey.'' | |||
::In the Fight phase, when an enemy model is destroyed as a result of an attack made by this model, this model regains up to 1 lost wound. | |||
'''-Dermic Symbiosis:''' ''This bio-horror’s carapace is actually a symbiotic organism, capable of psychically repelling the fiercest attacks of the prey and boosting the metabolism of its host creature.'' | |||
::This model has a 5+ invulnerable save. In addition, if this model has a damage table it is considered to have double the number of wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what row to use on that damage table. | |||
'''-Murderous Size:''' ''Whether enormous osseous blades, writhing lashes or oversized fangs, this colossus’ means of rending apart its prey have grown far beyond those of its kind. Fuelled by the bearer’s instinctive ability to slay, each hideous blow and crushing bite delivered by these bio-weapons hasten the prey world’s demise.'' | |||
::Before the battle, select one melee weapon that this model is equipped with. Until the end of the battle, add 1 to the Strength and Damage characteristics of that weapon, and improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that weapon by 1(e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1). | |||
'''-Synaptic Enhancement:''' ''Adaptations to this organism’s cerebral architecture have enhanced its connection to the Hive Mind. Through this towering and deadly creature, the horrific control and influence of the Tyranid race is spread ever further.'' | |||
::This model gains the ''Shadow in the Warp'' and ''Synapse'' special rules, and gains the {{W40kKeyword|SYNAPSE}} keyword. | |||
::'' | |||
'''-Voracious ammunitions:''' ''Either host to nests of ever-hungry bio-ammunition or unique organs generating a constant stream of biochemical substances, this xenos brute’s far-reaching touch continues to sear and consume long after it has moved on to other prey.'' | |||

 This article is awesome. Do not fuck it up. |
This page is a translation of the Codex - Tyranids: /tg/ edition into 8th edition. Since the Tyranids are now a decent army this codex is basically useless but still a funny idea if you want to play Tyranids in a more extreme way. All the rules in this page are meant to be used alongside the normal Tyranids Codex. If a rule isn't explained, look it up on the Codex.
Expansions[edit]
Here you can find extra rules for some of the most fearsome Hive Fleets ever encountered by the Imperium of Man, alongside sceneries for campaigns and special missions.
Ashes of Yggdrasil (WIP Campaign)[edit]
Ghosts from Below (Coming Soon)[edit]
Army Rules[edit]
Universal[edit]
- Instinctive Behaviour: Unless controlled or coordinated by the domineering will of the Hive Mind, many Tyranid organisms will revert to their baser instincts.
- Unless a <HIVE FLEET> unit with this ability is within synapse range of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> Synapse unit, you must subtract 1 from any hit rolls made for it when shooting any target other than the nearest visible enemy unit, and you must subtract 2 from its charge roll if it declares a charge against any unit other than the nearest enemy unit.
- Shadow in the Warp: The unfathomable presence of the Hive Mind radiates out from its synapse creatures, smothering the ability of the psykers who stand before them to draw upon their mystic powers.
- Enemy Psykers must subtract 1 from any Psychic tests they make and from their Leadership characteristic if they are within 18" of any units with this ability. Tyranid Psykers are not affected.
- Synapse: Some Tyranids serve as synaptic conduits or nodal relays through which a portion of the Hive Mind’s iron will flows, overriding the natural instincts of the swarm.
- <HIVE FLEET> units automatically pass Morale tests if they are within 12" of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> units with this ability. Also, <HIVE FLEET> units don't suffer from Instinctive Behaviour if they are within 24" of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> units with this ability.
Detachment Rules[edit]
- Extensions of the Hive Mind: The organisms that make up a Tyranid army are all extensions of the psychic gestalt known as the Hive Mind – its tendrils and its jaws, all working with a single purpose.
- If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in Tyranids Detachments gain this ability. Such a unit that is within range of an objective marker (as specified in the mission) controls the objective marker even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy unit within range of the same objective marker has a similar ability, then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of it as normal.
- Hive Fleet Adaptations: Each of the hive fleets has its own distinct methods of predation, from the movement patterns of entire swarms to the behaviours and morphology of individual organisms.
- If your army is Battle-forged, all units in Tyranids Detachments gain a Hive Fleet Adaptation, so long as every unit in that Detachment is from the same hive fleet. The Hive Fleet Adaptation gained depends upon the hive fleet they are from, as shown in the table below. For example, a BEHEMOTH unit with the Hive Fleet Adaptation ability gains the Hyper-aggression adaptation.
Hive Fleet Adaptations[edit]
- Behemoth- Hyper Aggression: Driven by a frenzied hunger, Hive Fleet Behemoth unleashes the full might of its swarms in an overwhelming frontal assault.
- Whenever a unit with this trait charges, was charged or performed a heroic intervention it adds 1 to its attack characteristic for the duration of the following fight phase. In addition, units with this trait always count as having charged, even if they did not charge in the previous charge phase.
- Gorgon- Adaptive Toxins: The toxins produced by Hive Fleet Gorgon’s swarm-creatures adapt with terrifying speed to any foe, agonising and ravaging the bodies of their unfortunate victims.
- You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Fight phase for units with this adaptation. In addition, the effect of Toxic Sacs is activated on a roll of 5+ instead of 6+.
- Hydra- Swarming Instincts: Hive Fleet Hydra’s super-swarms overwhelm their prey with the sheer weight of numbers, drowning them in a tide of chitin, flesh and slashing claws.
- A unit with this trait adds 1 to its hit rolls if the total number of attacks or shots it directs at a unit in the fight, shooting or overwatch phases is greater than the total number of models in the unit it is targeting. Add 2 to the units hit rolls instead if the value is double or more instead of greater than.
- Jormungandr- Tunnel Network: The warrior-organisms of Hive Fleet Jormungandr attack from subterranean tunnels, making them extremely difficult to target until it is far too late.
- Units with this trait count as being in cover as long as they did not advance in the movement phase. If a unit with this trait would gain the benefit of cover by another means (such as actually being in cover) it adds 2 to its armour save rolls instead of 1.
- Kraken- Questing Tendrils: The Kraken harries and unbalances its foes with lightning-fast flanking attacks, before encircling them for the final, bloody massacre.
- When a unit with this adaptation Advances, roll three dice instead of one and pick the highest to add to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit for that Movement phase. In addition, such units can Fall Back and charge in the same turn.
- Kronos- Bio-Barrage: Hive Fleet Kronos obliterates its foes at range by unleashing devastating barrages of bio-plasma and living missiles.
- You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for units with this adaptation in your Shooting phase if they did not move in the preceding Movement phase. In addition, add 1 to the result of the roll when trying to block an enemy psychic power.
- Leviathan- Synaptic Imperative Hive Fleet Leviathan’s synaptic network is so strong that its organisms can be compelled by the Hive Mind to fight in spite of injuries that should have crippled or slain them outright.
- A unit with this trait within 6” of a Synapse creature gains a 6+ invulnerability save against ranged attacks and ignores damage received on a 6+.
Custom Adaptations[edit]
If your chosen Hive Fleet does not have an associated Hive Fleet Adaptation in Codex - Tyranids: /tg/'s 8th Edition, you can create its Hive Fleet Adaptation by selecting two different rules from the following list:
- Adaptive Exoskeleton The gaunt-derived creatures produced by some hive fleets secrete a waxy, resinous material that hardens into a slick layer of protection, deflecting or absorbing hits.
- Units with this adaptation add 1 to their armour save rolls but may not Advance.
- Bestial Nature The monstrous organisms of this hive fleet embody a savage ferocity. When wounded near unto death, they lash out in animalistic fury, making taking them down a suicidal prospect.
- Units with this adaptation add 1 to their attack characteristic and hit rolls in a turn in which they charged, were charged or performed a heroic intervention. However, if the previous conditions are not fulfilled, this unit subtracts 1 from its hit rolls in the Fight phase.
- Bio-metallic Cysts: Incubated within the bladed limbs of this hive fleet’s weapon-beasts are colonies of cysts whose bio-metallic edges can slice through armour.
- Improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of all Scything Talons Weapons that models with this adaptation are equipped with by 1 (e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1).
- Biosphere Consumption: Parasitising upon the prey world itself, this hive fleet’s monstrosities delve osmotic tendrils into its biomass. Embedding themselves like a tumour and fuelling their metabolic resilience, they are nigh impossible to remove.
- Roll a die each time a Monster unit with this adaptation that is within an organic piece of terrain loses a wound; on a 5+ that wound is not lost.
- Cranial Channeling: The craniums of this hive fleet’s psyker-beasts contain a clutch of symbiotic larvae whose entire life-cycle revolves around the channelling of the Hive Mind. With an instinctive impulse, the carrier will absorb one of these creatures into their swollen brain matter, thus becoming a more efficient and fluid extension of the hive fleet’s will.
- Once per turn, every Psyker unit with this adaptation may re-roll the result of one Psychic test.
- Feeding Frenzy With dormant glands that suddenly burst into life, and reinforced, adaptive cartilage powering headlong leaps, the swarms of this hive fleet feed their urge to close with their prey as quickly as possible.
- At the end of the Fight phase, in a turn in which it charged, was charged or performed a heroic intervention, a unit with this adaptation regains a number of previously lost wounds equal to the number of wounds it inflicted.
- Horrors from Beyond: Whether due to some sickening aura of the Hive Mind or simply their terrifying size and predatory hunger, this hive fleet’s larger organisms are so monstrous that few are the heroic or insane who can stand before them and not be paralyzed by fear.
- Enemy units have to subtract 1 from their Leadership characteristic if within 12" of a Monster unit with this adaptation and have to subtract 1 from their hit rolls.
- Hypermetabolic Acceleration: This hive fleet bio-engineers its horrors with multiple stimm-releasing glands. Surges of extragalactic chemicals drive them to frenzied rushes across the prey worlds.
- When a unit with this adaptation Advances, you can re-roll the Advance roll.
- Membranous Mobility: This hive fleet’s skyswarm bioforms evince an unusually complex web of membranous tissue, allowing them to weave and jink with such astounding flexibility that lets them spread out like gusts of wind.
- A unit with this adaptation that can Fly can Advance in a turn in which it Falls Back.
- Methamorphic Regrowth: Within the flesh of its limitless broods, this hive fleet has adapted strange conglomerate organs and pathogen-hunting spores that can rapidly reknit any damage.
- Infantry models with this trait regain 1 previously lost wound at the start of each of your turns, while Monsters regain D3 previously lost wounds instead.
- Morphic Sinews: Stabilised with fibrous cords of sinew and internal wells of viscous fluid, this hive fleet’s largest weapon symbiotes instinctively adjust to their host beast’s hulking advances.
- Monster models with this adaptation do not suffer the penalty for moving and firing Heavy weapons, nor for Advancing and firing Assault weapons.
- Pack Hunters: Submerging their prey in waves of talons and fangs, this hive fleet’s creatures use their weight of numbers to punch and tear their way through once-stout defences.
- As long as a unit with this adaptation is within 9” of another unit with this adaptation, it adds 1 to its movement distances and hit rolls during the Fight phase.
- Prey-sight: Some hive fleets’ horrifying colossi close with the enemy while straining their multiple alien senses, the prey’s every movement and position noted. When it comes, the strike is inescapable.
- If a Monster unit with this adaptation makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, then until the end of the turn, when resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model in that unit, add 1 to the hit roll.
- Senses of the Outer Dark: Developed beyond the galaxy, this hive fleet’s organisms’ preternatural senses are triggered by surges of aggression as they close with the enemy. The prey’s fearful defensive fire is dodged with blinding speed.
- When a model with this adaptation would lose a wound to Overwatch fire, roll a D6. On a 4+, that wound isn’t lost. In addition, models with this adaptation don't suffer penalties to their hit rolls as a result of special rules such as Night Fighting or Dawn Raid.
- Shrewd Predators: This hive fleet’s synaptic coordination is so overwhelming that it compels its organisms to override their baser instincts, unnervingly moving in unexpected directions – all the while closing the snare on their prey.
- Units with this adaptation can re-roll all charge rolls and hit rolls in melee if they charged an enemy unit that is outside of their line of sight.
- Sporemist Spines: Ejected with a muscular spasm from between carapace plates, these clouds of microscopic living spores create a dense and thick mist upon the battlefield, allowing this hive fleet’s broods to get closer without worrying too much of enemy fire.
- When enemies make a melee attack against a unit with this adaptation, subtract 1 from the hit roll.
- Synaptic Augmentation: This hive fleet has refined its conduits to the lesser organisms, allowing for subtle control and augmentation of their instincts. So directed, they are far more deadly.
- When an enemy unit declares a charge against a <Hive Fleet> psyker unit with this adaptation, a unit of the same <Hive Fleet> that is within 6" of it may fire Overwatch as if they were also targeted. A unit that does so cannot fire Overwatch again in this turn. When doing so, the unit may re-roll all hit rolls.
Adaptive Physiologies[edit]
If a Tyranids CHARACTER is your Warlord, rather than determining a Warlord Trait for that model, you can instead select an Adaptive Physiology for one Tyranids unit from your army. To do so, before the battle begins, select one Tyranids Infantry unit or one TyranidsMonster model from your army (other than any unique character), and select an Adaptive Physiology from the corresponding list below. That Adaptive Physiology applies to the selected model or unit until the end of the battle. Write down any Adaptive Physiologies your models have on your army roster.
Infantry[edit]
-Abhorrent Pheromones: The brood releases a complex chemical signature in the press of fighting that provokes fear responses in their prey. Confused and panicking, the enemy are easily torn down.
- Subtract 2 from the Leadership characteristic of models in enemy units whilst their unit is within 3" of this unit.
-Adrenal Webs: With battlefield knowledge gained from devouring the fleeter races of the galaxy, this brood’s glandular stimuli drives them forwards at an unprecedented speed, allowing none to escape.
- When this unit consolidates, it can move up to 2D6” instead of 3".
-Dynamic Camouflage: Chromatospores in this brood’s skin and carapace adapt at a frightening pace, seamlessly blending their alien forms into their surroundings.
- When resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon against a model from this unit that is receiving the benefit of cover, add 2 to the saving throw instead of 1.
-Enhanced Resistance: The subcutaneous fibroid membranes of these bioforms are capable of absorbing even armour-piercing shots and blows.
- When resolving an attack made against this unit with a weapon that has an Armour Penetration characteristic of -1 or -2, that weapon has an Armour Penetration characteristic of 0 for that attack.
-Unnatural Reactions: This brood uses unique alien senses and its connection to the Hive Mind to react instantly to prey attacking other Tyranids nearby.
- This unit can perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER. In addition, this unit can perform a Heroic Intervention if there are any enemy units within 6" of them instead of 3", and when doing so can move up to 6" instead of 3".
Monster[edit]
-Accelerated Digestion: The ravenous hunger of this monstrous creature is complemented by a dizzying array of consumption sacs and ferociously powerful digestive acids, fuelling its alien vitality with every screaming morsel of prey.
- In the Fight phase, when an enemy model is destroyed as a result of an attack made by this model, this model regains up to 1 lost wound.
-Dermic Symbiosis: This bio-horror’s carapace is actually a symbiotic organism, capable of psychically repelling the fiercest attacks of the prey and boosting the metabolism of its host creature.
- This model has a 5+ invulnerable save. In addition, if this model has a damage table it is considered to have double the number of wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what row to use on that damage table.
-Murderous Size: Whether enormous osseous blades, writhing lashes or oversized fangs, this colossus’ means of rending apart its prey have grown far beyond those of its kind. Fuelled by the bearer’s instinctive ability to slay, each hideous blow and crushing bite delivered by these bio-weapons hasten the prey world’s demise.
- Before the battle, select one melee weapon that this model is equipped with. Until the end of the battle, add 1 to the Strength and Damage characteristics of that weapon, and improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that weapon by 1(e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1).
-Synaptic Enhancement: Adaptations to this organism’s cerebral architecture have enhanced its connection to the Hive Mind. Through this towering and deadly creature, the horrific control and influence of the Tyranid race is spread ever further.
- This model gains the Shadow in the Warp and Synapse special rules, and gains the SYNAPSE keyword.
-Voracious ammunitions: Either host to nests of ever-hungry bio-ammunition or unique organs generating a constant stream of biochemical substances, this xenos brute’s far-reaching touch continues to sear and consume long after it has moved on to other prey.
- At the end of your Shooting phase, all enemy unit that had one or more models destroyed this phase as a result of an attack made by this model suffer D3 mortal wounds.
Stratagems[edit]
Universal[edit]
- Abominal Mutations (2 CP): Twisted, turned, the Hive Mind can mutate her subjects to clusters of chitin and muscles if so the circumstances require.
- Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one unit from your army that already has a Mutation, you can immediately purchase another mutation for that model.
- Adrenaline Surge (3 CP): Tyranids will not cease their butchery until every living thing in their path has been torn to bloody shreds.

Add a new unit of up to 5 Genestealers or Ymgarl Genestealers to your army and set them up as reinforcements wholly within 6" of a Patriarch, or Ymgral Patriarch in case of Ymgarl Genestealers, or infestation node from your army and more than 9" from any enemy models. This unit must belong to the same Hive Fleet as the Patriarch chosen from your army.
- Caustic Blood (1 CP): Even the act of slaying a Tyranid can prove fatal, as its corpse spews corrosive ichor capable of eating through power armour.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of a Fight phase. Select a Tyranids unit from your army. Roll a dice whenever a model in that unit is destroyed in this phase. For each roll of 6, the enemy unit that inflicted the final wound on that model suffers a mortal wound after all of their attacks have been resolved.
- Conglomerated Adaptations (4 CP):
- Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one detachment from your army that is using Custom Adaptations; select one more Custom Adaptation for that Detachment.
- Death Frenzy (2 CP): Tyranids care nothing for self-preservation, and will fight on even when riven with mortal wounds.
- Use this Stratagem when a Tyranids Character from your army is slain; the Hive Mind compels it to one final attack, and it can immediately either shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, or fight as if it were your Fight phase before it is removed from the battlefield.
- Digestive Denial (2 CP): The process of digestion has already begun, and corrosive mucal slime is already turning this planet’s biospheres to a boiling slurry.
- Use this Stratagem after deployment but before the first battle round begins. Choose a piece of terrain (other than a Fortification). Units fully within or on this piece of terrain do not gain any bonus to their saving throws for being in cover. In addition, roll a die for each unit fully within that piece of terrain; on a 6 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
- Encephalic Diffusion (2 CP): Glistening brain-arrays pulse with diffusive energies.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of the turn. Select one Maleceptor model from your army.

- Feeder Tendrils (1 CP): Feeder tendrils drain the victim’s skull, siphoning vital knowledge and memories with every scrap of brain matter.
- Use this Stratagem when a model equipped with Feeder Tendrils from your army kills a Character in the Fight phase. Gain D3 Command Points.
- Feeding the Hunger: The Haruspex’s instinctive need to consume is insatiable.

- Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Movement phase, when an enemy unit that does not have a minimum Move characteristic and is within 1" of any Velenthrope, Malanthrope or Toxicrene units from your army is chosen to Fall Back. Roll one D6, adding 1 to the result if that unit is an Infantry unit; on a 3+ that enemy unit cannot Fall Back this turn.
- Grisly Feast (1 CP) The sight of a comrade being devoured even as they fall can break the spirit of the hardiest warrior.
- Use this Stratagem in the Morale phase. Select a unit of Ripper Swarms or Haruspex from your army. Your opponent must add 1 to any Morale tests taken for enemy units that are within 12" of that unit in this phase.
- Hive Instincts (1 CP): With a psychic summons, the swarm is gathered.
- Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase. Select one enemy unit that is within 1" of any <HIVE FLEET> Synapse units from your army. Until the end of that phase, when a charge roll is made for a charge made by a friendly <HIVE FLEET> unit that targets that enemy unit, roll one additional D6 and discard one of the dice. The first model you move as part of that charge must end its charge move within 1" of that enemy unit, otherwise, the charge fails and no models in the charging unit move this phase.
- Hunter's Drive (1 CP): Saturating its kills with motes of synaptic energy, the leader-beast drives its minions towards any survivors.
- Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase. Select one <HIVE FLEET> unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, when that unit declares a charge that targets any enemy units that had one or more models destroyed as a result of attacks made with ranged weapons made by friendly <HIVE FLEET> Synapse models this turn, roll one additional D6 and discard one of the dice when making the charge roll. The first model you move as part of that charge must end its charge move within 1" of at least one of those units, otherwise, the charge fails and no models in the charging unit move this phase.
- Implant Attack (1 CP) Some bio-weapons seed their victims with a lethal spore-cyst. This bloated parasite rapidly expands and bursts, tearing the unfortunate host apart in an eruption of gore.
- Use this Stratagem after a TYRANIDS unit from your army fights in the Fight phase. Roll a dice for each enemy model that was wounded by any of this unit’s attacks and not slain. On a 2+ the model suffers a mortal wound. If the target was a Vehicle, it instead suffers a mortal wound on a roll of 6.
- Invisible Hunter (1 CP): Tyranid assassin organisms can melt away before the astonished faces of their foes, only to strike suddenly from an unexpected direction.
- Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase. Select a Lictor from your army that is within 1" of an enemy unit. That model can Fall Back, shoot and charge in this turn.
- Leaper-beast (2 CP): With one jump the enormous creature leaps through the battlefield, eager to satiate its hunger with the unknowing prey.
- Use this Stratagem at the beginning of your turn. Choose a single Dimachaeron model from your army. That model can use its Leaper special rule both in the Shooting and Fight phase.
- Metabolic Overdrive (1 CP) Potent chemicals pump through the bodies of the hive fleet’s warriors, granting them formidable reserves of stamina at the risk of total cellular breakdown.
- Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, after moving a Tyranids unit from your army. You can make a second move with that unit (including Advancing, if you wish), but when you do so you must roll a dice for each model in the unit. For each roll of 1, inflict a mortal wound on the unit. The unit cannot shoot or make a charge move this turn.
- Overrun (1 CP): A Tyranid assault maintains a fearsome momentum. No sooner is one foe butchered than the swarm moves on to the next kill.
- Use this Stratagem when a Tyranids unit from your army destroys a unit in the Fight phase, and is not within 3" of an enemy unit. Instead of consolidating, that unit can move (and Advance) as if it were your Movement phase (it cannot move within 1" of any enemy models).
- Pathogenic Slime (2 CP): Tyranid biological ammunition is often doused in a pathogenic mucus, which seeps into wounds and devours flesh.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of your Shooting phase. Select a Tyranids Monster from your army. Increase the Damage of its attacks by 1 for this phase.
- Pheromone Trail (1 CP): Lictors release a trail of potent pheromones that guide fresh waves of bioforms to the slaughter.
- Use this Stratagem when a Tyranids Infantry unit from your army is set up on the battlefield as reinforcements if there is already a Lictor from your army on the battlefield. You can set up the unit wholly within 6" of the Lictor and more than 1" from any enemy models, rather than following the normal rules for setting up the unit. You cannot use this Stratagem to affect a unit of reinforcements being set up by the Genestealer’s Infestation ability, or that are added to your army due to a unit’s ability.
- Power of the Hive Mind (1 CP) The gestalt consciousness of the Hive Mind possesses a psychic might beyond mortal comprehension.

- Progeny of the Hive (1 CP/3 CP): Nothing can hold back the terrifying speed at which the hive fleets adapt their diverse organisms.
- Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one Tyranids Infantry unit or one Tyranids Monster model from your army that does not have an Adaptive Physiology, and then select one Adaptive Physiology to apply to that unit or model until the end of the battle. If you so wish, you can then select another Tyranids Infantry unit or one Tyranids Monster model from your army that does not have an Adaptive Physiology, and then select one Adaptive Physiology to apply to that unit or model until the end of the battle; if so, this Stratagem costs 3CP. You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.
- Psychic Barrage (1 CP): By channelling the power of the Shadow in the Warp, Tyranid psyker-beasts can obliterate the minds of their prey.
- Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase if a Zoanthropes unit from your army consisting of at least 3 models is within 6" of 2 other such units. If you do so, the Zoanthropes cannot take any Psychic tests this phase – instead, select a point on the battlefield within 18" of, and visible to, all three units. Roll a dice for each unit (friend or foe) within 3" of that point. Add 1 to the result if the unit being rolled for has 10 or more models, but subtract 1 if the unit being rolled for is a Character. On a 4+ that unit suffers 3D3 mortal wounds.
- Psychic Fissure (2 CP): The Shadow in the Warp poses many dangers to those who would draw upon the immaterium’s energies.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Psychic phase. Until the end of the phase, every time an enemy psyker fails a psychic test within 18” of a <Hive Fleet> Synapse unit from your army, it suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- Rapid Regeneration (2 CP): Some Tyranid bioforms possess bizarre organs that allow them to stitch together ruptured flesh and chitin.
- Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select a Tyranids model from your army. It regains D3 wounds lost earlier in the battle.
- Savage Distraction (1 CP): With their comrades’ gore dripping from nearby talons, even disciplined warriors struggle to avert their guns.
- Use this stratagem during the Fight phase, when an enemy unit is killed by a friendly <Hive Fleet> unit from your army. In your opponent’s next Shooting phase, when an enemy unit within 12” of that <Hive Fleet> unit fires a ranged weapon, it has to subtract 1 from the hit rolls.
- Scorch Bugs (1 CP): The thoraxes of these bulbous insectoids pulse with caustic chemicals.
- Use this Stratagem when a Tyranids unit from your army is selected to attack in the Shooting phase. You can add 1 to all wound rolls made for that unit’s Fleshborer, Fleshborer Hive or Shreddershard Beetles attacks in that Shooting phase.
- Single-minded Annihilation (2 CP): The Hive Mind invests its warrior-forms with but a single imperative: kill.
- Use this Stratagem at the end of your Shooting phase. Select a Tyranids Infantry unit from your army – that unit can immediately shoot again.
- Skyswarm Fusillade (1 CP): The instinctive and fluid agility of skyswarm bioforms allow acidic shots to be fired at extreme close-quarters.
- Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one GARGOYLES unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, fleshborers that models in that unit are equipped with have a Type characteristic of Pistol 1 and add 1 to the wound rolls.
- Sporefield (2 CP): Ahead of its invasion swarms, the hive fleet sows the prey world with vast clouds of living mines.
- Use this Stratagem after both armies have deployed but before the first battle round begins. You can add up to two units of Spore Mines to your army as reinforcements and set them up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 12" from enemy models. This unit must belong to the same Hive Fleet as another unit from your army.
- Surprise Ambush (1 CP): Lictors can approach within feet of their prey unnoticed.
- Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase. Select one Lictor unit from your army that is entirely on or within a terrain feature, or was set up on the battlefield this turn using the Hidden Hunter ability. Until the end of the turn, enemy units cannot fire Overwatch at that unit. In addition, when a charge roll is made for that unit, add 1 to the result.
- Symbiotic Devastation (1 CP): In thrall to its symbiote, the Exocrine obeys its every will.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of your Shooting phase. Select one Exocrine unit from your army; until the end of that phase, that unit is treated as not having moved in your Movement phase.
- Synaptic Channeling (1 CP): Individuality is a disadvantage that Tyranids surpass.
- Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase. Select one <Hive Fleet> Psyker unit from your army. Until the end of that phase, that unit knows all of the psychic powers known by friendly <Hive Fleet> Psyker units that are on the battlefield.
- Unexpected Incursion (1 CP): Mawlocs are capable of bursts of subterranean speed, catching more of their surface prey unawares.
- Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a Mawloc model from your army is set up on the battlefield using the Terror from the Deep ability. When determining the number of mortal wounds an enemy unit suffers from that model’s Terror from the Deep ability that phase, add 2 to the roll.
- Unyielding Chitin (1 CP): At a synaptic stimulus, carapaces thicken to become as dense as stone.
- Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase or your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a Tyranid Infantry unit from your army is chosen as the target for an attack made with a ranged weapon. Until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon against that unit, reduce the Damage characteristic of that weapon by 1, to a minimum of 1, for that attack.
- Voracious Appetite (1 CP): The hunger of the Tyranids can never be satiated.
- Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when a Tyranids Monster or Character from your army is chosen to attack. You can re-roll all failed wound rolls for that model until the end of the phase.
Hive Fleet-Specific[edit]
- Behemoth - Brute Force (1 CP): Behemoth’s charge crushes all in its path to a bloody paste.
- Use this Stratagem when a Behemoth unit from your army completes a charge move. Roll a dice for each model in the charging unit that is within 1" of an enemy unit. For each roll of 6 (or 2+ for a Monster), inflict one mortal wound on an enemy unit within 1".
- Gorgon - Hyper-Toxicity (1 CP): There is no defence against the toxins of Hive Fleet Gorgon.
- Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Choose a Gorgon unit from your army that has the Toxin Sacs biomorph. For the duration of the phase, consider the wound rolls as 1 point higher to determine the effect of the Toxin Sacs biomorph.
- Hydra - Endless Swarm (2 CP) The swarms of the Hydra are numberless. Kill one organism, and two more will take its place.
- Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select a unit of Termagants, Hormagaunts, Gargoyles or Simurghs (or any Hydra Infantry unit) from your army that has been completely destroyed. Add an identical unit to your army, and set it up as reinforcements wholly within 6" of any board edge, more than 9" from enemy models.
- Kraken - Opportunistic Advance (1 CP) Before the prey can even react, Hive Fleet Kraken’s swarms are already amongst them.
- Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase when you roll the dice for an Advancing Kraken unit (other than a unit that can Fly). You can double the number you roll and add that total to their Move characteristic for that Movement phase, rather than following the normal rules for Advancing.
- Kronos - The Deepest Shadow (1 CP) Around the swarms of Hive Fleet Kronos, the Shadow in the Warp is at its most suffocatingly powerful.
- Use this Stratagem when an enemy Psyker attempts to manifest a psychic power within 24" of a Kronos unit from your army. Your opponent can only roll a single dice for the Psychic test.
- Leviathan - War on All Fronts (1 CP): Hive Fleet Leviathan brings death from land, sea and sky.
- Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select an enemy unit that is within 1" of at least two Leviathan units from your army that, in any combination, can Fly, cannot or that have the Amphibious Adaptations biomorph. You can re-roll hit and wound rolls of 1 in this phase for attacks for Leviathan units that target that enemy unit.
Warlord Traits[edit]
Universal[edit]
- 1: Alien Cunning: This Warlord possesses highly sophisticated neural pathways, allowing it to outwit even the most experienced generals of other races.
- At the start of the first battle round, but before the first turn begins, you can remove your Warlord from the battlefield and set them up again as described in the Deployment section of the mission you are playing. If both players have units that can do this, roll-off. The player that wins the roll-off decides who sets up their unit(s) first. In addition, roll a die every time you spend a Command Point; on a 5+ that Command Point is not lost.
- 2: Heightened Senses: Whether through rows of bristling antennae or clusters of glistening compound eyes, this Warlord can sense the location of its prey with unerring accuracy.
- Your Warlord never suffers any penalties to their hit rolls, even when firing Overwatch.
- 3: Synaptic Lynchpin: This Warlord’s cerebral cortex pulsates with the irresistible power of the Hive Mind, acting as a blazing synaptic beacon to the lesser creatures of the swarm.
- Add 6" to the range of the Warlord’s Synapse ability.
- 4: Mind Eater: This Warlord devours not only the flesh of the prey’s leaders but their thoughts as well, so that it may learn of their strategies and direct the movements of the swarm accordingly.
- Each time the Warlord slays an enemy Character in the Fight phase, choose one of the aura abilities of that unit, until the end of the battle your Warlord gains that special rule. Replace all faction and sub-faction keywords with Tyranids <Hive Fleet> (for example, the rule "Re-roll wound rolls of 1 for friendly <Dinasty> Infantry units that are within 6" of this model" would become "Re-roll wound rolls of 1 for friendly <Hive Fleet> Infantry units that are within 6" of this model").
- 5: Instinctive Killer: This Warlord has been bioengineered with genetic memories of how best to slay the myriad species which the Hive Mind calls prey.
- At the beginning of the battle but before the first turn begins, choose an enemy unit type. You can re-roll failed hit rolls for the Warlord for attacks that target that unit or any unit that has the same type (for example, all Infantry units or all Biker etc.).
- 6: Adaptive Biology: The same weapon rarely works against this Warlord twice, as its alien physiology adapts at an astonishing rate to counter the attacks of the foe.
- From the end of the first phase in which this Warlord suffers any wounds, for the remainder of the battle when inflicting damage upon the Warlord, reduce the damage of the attack by 1 to a minimum of 1.
Hive Fleet-Specific[edit]
- Behemoth - Monstrous Hunger: The Warlord embodies the Hive Mind’s eternal hunger, tearing great chunks out of its victims in a feeding frenzy, or even swallowing them whole.
- Each time you make a wound roll of 6+ for the Warlord in the Fight phase, that attack inflicts 1 additional damage.
- Gorgon - Lethal Miasma The air around the Warlord throngs with microscopic organisms that invade the bodies of its foes, devouring them from the inside.
- At the end of the Fight phase, roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 2" of the Warlord. On a 4+ that unit suffers a mortal wound.
- Hydra - Endless Regeneration: Enemy soldiers are horrified to see the Warlord’s severed limbs and shattered plates regrowing before their eyes.
- At the beginning of each of your turns, roll a dice for each wound that your Warlord has lost. For each roll of 5+, your Warlord regains a wound lost earlier in the battle.
- Jormungandr - Insidious Threat: This Warlord has lurked unseen on this world, developing such an intimate knowledge of its terrain that there is nowhere for its prey to hide.
- Enemy units never gain any bonus to their saving throws for being in cover for attacks made by the Warlord or friendly Jormungandr units within 3" of the Warlord.
- Kraken - One Step Ahead: There is no move the prey can make that this Warlord has not foreseen.
- In each Fight phase, you can pick one friendly Kraken unit within 6" of your Warlord. That unit can fight first in the Fight phase, even if it didn’t charge. If the enemy has units that have charged, or that have a similar ability, then alternate choosing units to fight with, starting with the player whose turn is taking place.
- Kronos - Soul Hunger: This Warlord has an insatiable hunger for psykers, and can manipulate the Shadow in the Warp to isolate and overwhelm its prey.
- Whenever an enemy Psyker fails a psychic test within 18" of your Warlord, they suffer D3 mortal wounds while your Warlord recovers 1 previously lost wound.
- Leviathan - Perfectly Adapted: This Warlord was created for one purpose, to completely eradicate the defenders of this world.
- Once per turn, you can re-roll a single hit roll, wound roll, damage roll, Advance roll, charge roll or saving throw made for your Warlord.
Psychic Powers[edit]
Unless stated otherwise, all Tyranid psykers may generate their powers from any of the below Hivemind disciplines.
Hivemind's Control[edit]
- 1: Dominion
- Warp Charge: 5
- Through this power, Tyranid organisms are able to extend the range at which they can influence other Tyranid organisms.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 36" of the psyker that has the Instinctive Behaviour ability. Until the end of your next Psychic phase, that unit ignores its Instinctive Behaviour ability and automatically passes Morale tests.
- 2: Catalyst
- Warp Charge: 6
- Many Tyranid psykers are known for their ability to make themselves and other Tyranids seemingly incognizant of even the most grievous of injuries, allowing them to fight on.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time that unit loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 5+, the damage is ignored and the unit does not lose that wound.
- 3: Onslaught
- Warp Charge: 6
- The hive mind is capable of giving additional energy to the creatures that comprise its vast "body", allowing them to attack even while sprinting.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 18" of the psyker. That unit can shoot this turn (even if it Advanced) without suffering any penalties to its hit rolls for moving and shooting with Heavy weapons, or Advancing and shooting with Assault weapons. In addition, that unit can charge this turn even if it Advanced (though not if it Fell Back).
- 4: Unstoppable
- Warp Charge: 8
- A more severe form of the energies put into an organism by Onslaught, this power fills a Tyranid creature with so much psychic power as to become a juggernaut, though the influx of energy is prone to killing the organism afterwards.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 24" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target unit gains a 2+ save against any type of wounds, even mortal wounds and adds 1 to both its attack and strength characteristic in a turn in which he charged. It may also re-roll failed to-hit rolls in both shooting and close combat. At the start of your next Psychic phase, the target must immediately pass a Leadership test or be removed as a casualty. If the test is passed, it may not take any actions during any phase, make cover saves, and it's hit automatically in close combat until the start of the next Psychic phase.
- 5: Fury
- Warp Charge: 6
- The emotion of anger is like all emotions, a product of chemicals, chemicals that Tyranid psykers can stimulate into being with a thought to grant the benefits that animalistic rage can provide in battle.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target unit adds 1 to both its attack and strength characteristic if it charged that turn.
- 6: One Mind
- Warp Charge: 7
- Through this power, the Hive Mind is capable of turning even the most rudimentary of combat organisms into a formidable beast of battle as they receive the combat skills assimilated by the hive mind over the course of billions of years.
- Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase the target unit and the psyker add 2 to their hit rolls in both shooting and fighting phase.
Hivemind's Malice[edit]
- 1: The Horror
- Warp Charge: 6
- The terrifying psychic presence of the Hive Mind radiates from the synapse creature, flooding the minds of the Tyranids’ enemies and causing them to quail and panic.
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit must subtract 1 from their hit rolls and Leadership characteristic.
- 2: Paroxysm
- Warp Charge: 5
- The Hive Mind debilitates its enemies by triggering every nerve and pain receptor in their bodies, overwhelming their senses with wracking fits of agony.
- Choose an enemy unit within 18" of the psyker. Until your next Psychic phase, that unit cannot fight in the Fight phase until all other units that are able to have done so. If the target has an ability that allows it to fight first in the Fight phase, it instead fights as if it didn't have this ability. If both players have units that cannot fight until all other units have done so, then alternate choosing which of those units to fight with, starting with the player whose turn is taking place.
- 3: Mutagenesis
- Warp Charge: 6
- Choose an enemy unit within 24" of the psyker. The target unit must pass a toughness test or suffer a -1 penalty to toughness, strength and attacks.
- 4: The Shadow Notices
- Warp Charge: 7
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit reduces its leadership by D3. If the target is a Psyker it suffers an additional -1 to its rolls when trying to manifest or deny a psychic power. Finally, if the target has the Demon keyword it has to consider its invulnerable save as one point worse.
- 5: Optical Overload
- Warp Charge: 7
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit only hits on 6s in both shooting and fight phase.
- 6: Stand and Die
- Warp Charge: 8
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit can't benefit from cover, has to subtract 2 from all its hit rolls, can't fire overwatch and has to attack last in the fight phase.
Hivemind's Wrath[edit]
- 1: Cacophony
- Warp Charge: 6
- Select a unit within 12" that is visible to the psyker. That unit suffers D6 automatic hits with the profile below:
S AP D Abilities 8 -2 1 This weapon wounds on the leadership of the unit instead of the toughness
- 2: Psychic Scream
- Warp Charge: 5
- Through its vassal, the Hive Mind unleashes a piercing shriek of undiluted psychic energy that shreds the minds of those caught in its wake.
- The nearest enemy unit within 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, if that unit is a PSYKER, roll two dice. If the result is higher than their Leadership characteristic, randomly select one of their psychic powers. They can no longer use that psychic power.
- 3: Alien Voice
- Warp Charge: 7
- Select a unit within 18" that is visible to the psyker. Both the target and the Psyker must roll a D6 and add the result to their Leadership - if the Psyker gets a higher result, the target takes the difference in mortal wounds as their minds and souls are burnt out from being forcibly put in contact with the hive mind, while the result of a draw causes nothing to happen as the mental energies cancel each other out, but if the target gets a bigger result they manage to avoid forming a connection to the hive mind and the feedback instead afflicts the offending tyranid; the psyker's Synapse range is immediately reduced by 6" until the start of his next Psychic phase. Models without Leadership value cannot be affected by this psychic power.
- 4: Despair
- Warp Charge: 7
- Select a unit within 18" that is visible to the psyker. That unit suffers D3 automatic hits with the profile below:
S AP D Abilities 9 -3 2 This weapon wounds on the leadership of the unit instead of the toughness
- 5: Hunger
- Warp Charge: 6
- Through this power, the hive mind can force other living beings to experience a portion of the terrible hunger that the gestalt consciousness of the Tyranid race feels every day, a hunger far beyond the ability of lesser organisms to control, forcing them to try and eat their comrades to satiate this horrific desire to satiate an unfathomable hunger.
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Roll an opposed Leadership test against the highest Ld value in the targeted unit, if the target fails, the unit immediately suffers a number of hits equal to the number of models in that unit. These hits are resolved using the unit’s majority Strength (if drawn, use the highest) and AP-. Wounds are allocated by the owning player and armour saves or invulnerable saves if better.
- 6: Warp Blast
- Warp Charge: 7
- A blast of pure psychic energy either fired as a beam that can pierce the strongest armor, an orb that can rip apart terminators, or as a pulsating blast that can turn even the Astartes inside out, this is a signature ability of Zoanthropes.
- Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. You can immediately make a single shooting attack against that unit using one of the profiles below as if it was your shooting phase.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities Warp Blast 24" Assault 2D6 6 -3 1 - Warp Orb 24" Assault D6 8 -4 D3 - Warp Lance 24" Assault 1 10 -5 D6 You can re-roll all wound rolls if the target is a Vehicle or a Building. Treat damage rolls of 1 or 2 made by this weapon as 3 instead.

- Pick an enemy unit that is visible to the psyker. Until the end of the turn, re-roll hit rolls against that unit from friendly Jormungandr units set up on the battlefield this turn. During the first turn, units set up through conventional deployment can't benefit from this Psychic power.
- Kraken- Synaptic Lure

- Pick an enemy unit. Until the end of the turn, re-roll charge rolls made by friendly Kraken units that target that unit.

Bio-Artefacts[edit]
Universal[edit]
- Arachnacyte Gland: The Arachnacyte Gland clutches the spine of its host bioform, its multi-limbed tendrils becoming wedded to the creature’s own flesh. Through these, the bio-artefact floods its host’s nervous systems and organs and lashes it with psychic stimuli, driving the beast on ever faster.
- Model with Adrenal Glands only. When a charge roll is made for a model with this Relic, roll one additional D6 and discard one of the dice.
- Maw Claws of Thyrax: During the destruction of Thyrax, the dread beast that spearheaded the assault bore a pair of symbiotic fang-lined pincers. These terrible claws consumed both the bodies and the memories of their victims, passing on the assimilated knowledge to the host creature.
- Model with Rending Claws, Monstrous Rending Claws or Patriarch Claws only. Add the following to that weapon’s special rule: 'When this model slays an enemy model in the Fight phase, you can re-roll failed hit rolls in all subsequent Fight phases for this model.' In addition, consider the results of the wound rolls made by a model with the Maw Claws of Thyrax as 1 higher to see if the weapon's special rule activates.
- Norn Crown: First named by Inquisitor Kryptman, the Norn Crown is a unique parasitic organism that burrows needle-like cerebral bores directly into the brain of its host, forming a neuro-synaptic link that acts as a hyper-conduit for the Hive Mind. Through this abhorrent union, the Hive Mind’s indomitable will can pour forth to augment and control the hordes of lesser Tyranids that scuttle in the leader-beast’s wake.
- Friendly <HIVE FLEET> units do not suffer the penalties to their hit rolls and charge rolls incurred from the Instinctive Behaviour ability whilst they are within 30" of this model. In addition, this model gains the Psyker keyword and can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power in its Psychic phase.
- Pathogenesis: An organism like no other, Pathogenesis is perhaps a throwback to the Tyranids’ genetic origins or a shadow of things to come. Though its motes of psychic awareness are diffused throughout its carrier like a virus, it acts with a singular will. Subverting the body and symbiotes of its host, Pathogenesis causes rapid mutation: cartilaginous tubes and containment spines are lengthened; intercostal muscles are engorged; bio-ammunition are sheathed in a toxic dermis. With its host’s reach and lethality extended, fragments of Pathogenesis can reach out to the bodies of many more prey, by infesting the bio-ammunition or riding through the bio-electric charge. Whether it aims only to spread itself or is actively seeking something in the bodies of its fallen foes, perhaps only time will tell.
- Add 8" to the Range characteristic of ranged weapons a model with this Relic is equipped with. In addition, when a model with this Relic fires Overwatch or is chosen to shoot with, you can re-roll a single hit roll and you can re-roll a single wound roll.
Resonance Barb: Within the crowning carapace of this creature are pulsing bundles of nerves, their tendrils driven irreversibly into the beast’s cortex. The Resonance Barb throbs at sympathetic frequencies with the Hive Mind, transmitting a portion of its cosmic might into the creature’s flesh-form.
- Psyker model only. A model with this Relic can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power in your Psychic phase and attempt to deny one additional psychic power in your opponent’s Psychic phase. In addition, when a Psychic test is taken for a model with this Relic, add 1 to the total.
- The Hungering Carapace:
- This model's armour save is improved by one step. Each time you roll a wound roll of 6+ for a melee attack made by its bearer, the target suffers a mortal wound in addition to any other damage; for every model slain by these mortal wounds, the bearer regains a wound lost previously in the battle.
- The Miasma Cannon: The Tyranids utilise all manner of bio-weapons, but none evoke more dread than the Miasma Cannon. Unlike other venom cannons, this weapon fires gobbets of toxin-laden slime so virulent that it reduces organic targets into shapeless puddles of goo in seconds.
- Model with Heavy Venom Cannon only. The Miasma Cannon replaces the model's Heavy Venom Cannon.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities The Miasma Cannon - - - - - Choose one of this weapons profiles before firing. Miasmic Spit 36" Assault D3 10 -3 3 This weapon always wounds on a 2+, unless the target is a VEHICLE. Miasmic Spray 8" Assault D6 7 -2 2 This weapon always wounds on a 2+, unless the target is a VEHICLE. This weapon automatically hits its target.
- The Psyleech Venom Cannon:
- Model with Heavy Venom Cannon only. The The Psyleech Venom Cannon replaces the model's Heavy Venom Cannon.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities The Psyleech Venom Cannon - - - - - Choose one of this weapons profiles before firing. Single Shot 36" Assault 1 9 -3 2 You can add 1 to the wound rolls if the target unit has the Psyker, Daemon or Chaos keyword. In addition, the enemy must subtract 2 from invulnerable saves made against hits caused by this weapon. Salvo 36" Assault D6 5 -2 1 You can add 1 to the wound rolls if the target unit has the Psyker, Daemon or Chaos keyword. In addition, the enemy must subtract 2 from invulnerable saves made against hits caused by this weapon.
- The Reaper of Obliterax: The Reaper of Obliterax, first encountered amongst the re-emergent swarms of Hive Fleet Jormungandr, is a sentient blade resembling a bonesword that discharges highly concentrated bursts of destructive energy. Even the lightest blow from this bio-weapon can result in its target being rent asunder.
- Model with Lash Whip and Bonesword or Lash Whip and Monstrous Bonesword only. Add the following to that weapon’s Abilities: 'On a wound roll of 6+, this weapon inflicts double damage.' In addition, a model equipped with the Reaper of Obliterax has a 4+ invulnerable save.
- The Venomthorn Parasite: These engorged bio-ammunition tubes are only the outer form of an ancient symbiotic intelligence that spreads its nerve endings like a fungus throughout both creature and weapon, neurally linking the three together. When it senses prey, the Venomthorn Parasite dominates its two hosts, pushing the weapon symbiote to its limit with pulses of hormonal stimuli until the target is eviscerated.'
- Model equipped with a stranglethorn cannon and/or heavy venom cannon only. When this model shoots with a stranglethorn cannon or heavy venom cannon, do not roll any dice when determining the Type characteristic of that weapon; instead, it has the maximum value (e.g. a Heavy D6 weapon makes 6 attacks). In addition, add 1 to the wound rolls when firing with that weapon.
- The Ymgarl Factor: The Ymgarl Genestealers have long been a cancerous blight on the worlds of the Imperium. Their insatiable voracity is legend amongst those that have had the misfortune to encounter them and live. Now, dark rumours have surfaced of Tyranid leader-beasts that appear to share the unfathomable adaptability of the Ymgarl Genestealers.
- At the start of its movement phase, a model with the Ymgarl Factor must alter their form into one of the three listed below. The bonus gained lasts until the start of its next movement phase. The same form cannot be chosen in two consecutive turns.
- Slashing Claws: The model has +D3 Strength.
- Tentacled Limbs: The model has +D3 Attack.
- Muscled Carapace: The model has +D3 Toughness.
- At the start of its movement phase, a model with the Ymgarl Factor must alter their form into one of the three listed below. The bonus gained lasts until the start of its next movement phase. The same form cannot be chosen in two consecutive turns.
- Xenogenic Acid: This oily black substance continually seeps from the swollen cysts of its carrier. Splashes of the liquid have been seen to flow against gravity towards horrified eyes or compromised armour plates, giving rise to speculation that the acid itself is sentient. Within moments, the horrifying effluence finds its way inside its victims, breaking down the prey’s genetic structure and molecular cohesion until all that is left is a bubbling pile of black bio-matter.
- Model with Toxin Sacs only. When resolving a melee attack made by a model with this Relic, an unmodified wound roll of 5+ inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any other damage.
Hive Fleet-Specific[edit]
- Behemoth - Scythes of Tyran: The few remaining records of the fall of Tyran speak of an alpha beast that led the assault upon Magos Varnak’s command bunker, tearing open the facility’s vast bulkhead doors with a single slash of its scything forelimbs. So sharp were these monomolecular-edged weapon-growths that several Skitarii defenders were bisected with the alpha beast's every frenzied swipe.
- Behemoth model with Monstrous Scything Talons only. The Scythes of Tyran replaces the model's Monstrous Scything Talons.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities Scythes of Tyran Melee Melee +2 -3 3 You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 when attacking with this weapon. This model can make 1 additional attack with this weapon each time it fights. In addition, each time you make a hit roll of 6+ for this weapon, you can make an additional hit roll. These additional hit rolls cannot generate further additional hit rolls.
- Gorgon - Hyper-Adaptive Biology Leader-beasts spawned by Hive Fleet Gorgon possess an intricate array of bizarre, transmutative organs, each of which can reform itself in mere moments to respond to any internal trauma.
- Gorgon model only. From the end of the first phase in which this model suffers any wounds, add 1 to its Toughness and roll a die each time the model suffers an unsaved wound; for the remainder of the battle, on a roll of 5+ that wound is not lost.
- Hydra - Slimer Maggot Infestation: Rather than individual organisms, this deathspitter fires a wad of self-replicating slimer maggots. Upon striking their target, these ravenous creatures burrow deep into its flesh before beginning the process of fragmentation and regeneration. Within moments, the host body is devoured from the inside by a wriggling mass of grubs.
- Hydra model with two Deathspitters with Slimer Maggots only. The Slimer Maggot Infestation replaces the model's two Deathspitters with Slimer Maggots. In addition, this model and every Hydra unit within 6" may re-roll every wound roll during the Shooting Phase.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities Slimer Maggot Infestation 24" Assault 6 7 -1 1 -
- Jormungandr - Infrasonic Roar: Some Jormungandr bio-colossi utilise a complex arrangement of acoustic organs to unleash fearsome infrasonic bellows. So powerful are these booming sonic emanations that they cause a primal terror and confusion in many sentient species.
- Jormungandr model only. Enemy units within 12" of this model must subtract 1 from their Leadership.
- Kraken – Chameleonic Mutation: This chitinous plate armour is an adaptation of the chameleonic carapace common to the Lictor bioform. Sub-dermal crystals capture and redirect light, projecting an ever-shifting mirage that masks the host creature’s movements.
- Kraken model only. Your opponent must subtract 1 from their hit rolls for attacks that target this model. In addition, add 2 instead of 1 to saving throws for this model when it is in cover.
- Kronos - Balethorn Cannon: This enormous bio-cannon spits out a web of hyper-adaptive microfilament. Upon contact with the target, this sentient substance begins to contract, its contra-empathic surface identifying and adapting to any defences it encounters, flaring white-hot to burn through kinetic shielding, or sharpening to a monomolecular edge to slice through even the thickest power armour.
- Kronos model with a Stranglethorn Cannon only. The Balethorn Cannon replaces the model's Stranglethorn Cannon.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities Balethorn Cannon 36" Assault D6 7 -2 2 You can add 1 to hit rolls for this weapon when attacking a unit with 10 or more models. A unit that suffers one or more wounds from this weapon must subtract 3 from its movement, advance and charge distances. Invulnerable saves cannot be taken against this weapon.
- Leviathan - Slayer Sabres: At the hilt of each of these enormous, curving blades is a shell of diamond-hard chitin. This houses the brain of the weapon-symbiote, a semi-sentient organism which forms a synaptic link with its bearer. With a mental command, the wielder can generate a powerful surge of psychic energy, a fraction of the full power of the Shadow in the Warp that incinerates the unfortunate victim from the inside out.
- Leviathan model with Monstrous Boneswords only. The Slayer Sabres replace the model’s Monstrous Boneswords.
Weapon Range Type S AP D Abilities Slayer Sabres Melee Melee User -2 3 A model armed with the Slayer Sabres can make 1 additional attack with them in the Fight phase. Each time you roll a wound roll of 6+ for this weapon, the target suffers a mortal wound in addition to any other damage. In addition, if an Infantry or Biker model suffers damage from this weapon but is not slain, roll a D3 at the end of the Fight phase. If the result is greater than that model’s remaining number of wounds, it is slain.

If an enemy unit in assault is wiped out by the cortex leech's unit, roll a d6; on a 3 or less nothing happens, but on a four or more the entire unit must charge or shoot a target of the Cortex Leech player's choosing, though after the turn the models are removed from play.

Crinis Brood[edit]
Fluff:
A horrid monstrosity tailor-made to assassinate, disrupt enemy formations, and destroy the precious equipment of its foes, the Crinis is named for the number of tendrils it possesses. Four long lash whip tendril arms, a maw ringed by yet more tentacles, and four flesh hooks that can burst from its chest, the Crinis is by all accounts an excessively horrid creature with remarkable regenerative abilities, bolstered by the fact that it is virtually a walking corrosives factory, producing acid in copious amounts to destroy equipment.
The creature is remarkably quick, built more like a Hive Tyrant than a Carnifex, and may be an offshoot of that genus. Its strategy seems to be to engage targets already occupied by other Tyranids to strike at the targets it wishes to or drop in unannounced to sow havoc before inevitably perishing. It is theorized that the creature's regenerative powers are born out of a need to regenerate appendages quickly if they are cut off while it grapples, which translated into a body-wide healing factor. Some seem to further this regenerative power with special biomorphs that make it even harder to force an injury to remain.
These creatures are understandably loathed by artificers and crafters the galaxy over for their wanton destruction of priceless artefacts, something which the Hive Mind seems to be keenly aware of, especially as many of these artefacts are very difficult to replace. These creatures even seem to enter a chemical high when they destroy what it is programmed to recognize as especially priceless relics such as Terminator or Artificer armour or master crafted weapons, meaning that even outside of synapse range they continue to hunt out items to destroy before messily devouring them.Modelling notes
A Crinis should be represented with a Hive Tyrant base body with at least four tentacles to represent the lash whips, where you get these tentacles is up to you, but they should be decently long (See Toxicrene for inspiration). The head should come from a Lictor or similarly cthulhoid head, and it should have something to represent the Flesh Hooks. If the result looks like a Hentai monster you should be hiding your Sisters of Battle, Fire Warrioresses, Guardswomen, Slaaneshi Daemons, and Eldar (Dark or Craftworld) from, you've succeeded.
This unit contains 1 Crinis (Power Rating 8). It can contain 1 additional Crinis (Power Rating +8) or 2 additional Crinises (Power Rating +16).

For attacks rolled for a group of models with the same weapons and Weapon Skill, treat each result of 1 as being rolled by a separate model.

Fluff:
A melee focused counterpart to the Tyranid Gargoyle, the Simurgh is quite simply a hormagaunt given wings. Even faster than the already incredibly swift Hormagaunts, Simurghs rush into battle with the intent of tearing apart their enemies to feed their incredibly high metabolisms; their omnivorous digestive tracts able to consume plant and animal matter alike to predate on just about any species of xenos; even being able to eat of the flesh of xenos with wildly divergent biologies such as the Silicoid Dimanches of the federation of Xornthra or the Ammonia catalyzing Drunal of the Republic of Ikram. Foul tempered and ferociously hungry, Simurghs are expended by the Hive Fleets in great numbers to achieve their objectives

Flyer[edit]
Erinyes Brood[edit]
Fluff:
These terrifying beasts are tailor-made to deliver fast and lethal attacks against the enemies of the hive fleet as well as to confound the machinery of the enemies of the Tyranids with constant generation of electromagnetic energy that can foul even the hardiest and most sophisticated of machinery. With most of its enemies heavily dependent on technology, the Erinyes finds itself a feared opponent for enemy mechanized divisions and especially those foes who would entrust their defence to machinery. They are especially feared by the Mechanicus, the Iron Warriors, the Tau, and hated by Ork mekboyz for their ability to render the creations that they rely so much on nearly inoperable. Even non-mechanical foes, however, must beware as the Erinyes is a highly specialized and capable killer in close combat and can dive from the skies to immediately engage an opponent in a vicious melee that few enemies are likely to survive.
Modelling notes:
If you're feeling lazy you could simply put a flying MUTO (from the 2014 Godzilla movie) toy on a base, if you're feeling a bit more up for hardcore converting, the model is meant to have a rather pronounced shield head (like said MUTOs) and the wings are more angular like the Harridan's than the more traditionally bat-like wings of the Harpy/Crone and Flyrant. It should be about in between the size of a Harridan and a Harpy. The tail is scythed so don't forget that. This is less of a shooty flying monstrous creature and more of a choppy one, so the melee biomorphs should be rather pronounced and it should have legs that look like they can function on land
This unit contains 1 Erinys (Power Rating 12). It can contain 1 additional Erinys (Power Rating +12) or 2 additional Erinyes (Power Rating +24).

Biomorphs:
- Scything Wings
- Stinger Salvo
- Two Stranglethorn Cannons
Special Rules:
- Death Throes
- Monstrous Brood
- Instinctive Behaviour
- Sonic Screech
- Spore Mine Cysts (Acid Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ an Acid Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Acid Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time an Acid Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Acid Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Acid Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for an Acid Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.
- Spore Mine Cysts (Char Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Char Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Char Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Char Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Char Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Char Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Char Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Add 1 to the roll when targeting units that can Fly. Enemies that can Fly suffer double the number of mortal wounds from this weapon.
- Spore Mine Cysts (Frag Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Frag Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Frag Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Frag Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Frag Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Frag Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Frag Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:
Weapon S AP D Abilities Frag Mine 4 -1 1 -
- Spore Mine Cysts (Toxic Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Toxic Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Toxic Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Toxic Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Toxic Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Toxic Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Toxic Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.

Dedicated Transport[edit]
Malefactor[edit]
Fluff:
A distinctive ground based transport organism for the Tyranid swarm, the malefactor is incredibly durable and is also well noted for its displeasing aesthetics. While not particularly dangerous in combat, it is capable of absorbing obscene damage.
Modeling notes
The malefactor isn't particularly hard to make, though if you have the old Armorcast minis; good for you! Be warned, some people will probably sooner gouge out their eyes than gaze upon the...erm...beauty of the malefactor for too long. A beauty so otherwordly that even the forces of Nurgle, Slaanesh, and the Haemonculi are driven to mass vomiting and find their eyes bursting into flames when they gaze upon the Malefactor's glory.
This unit contains 1 Malefactor (Power Rating 9).

- Transport Beast: When you set a Malefactor on the field, you can also set up a <HIVE FLEET> INFANTRY unit of up to 20 models or a single <HIVE FLEET> MONSTER with a Wounds characteristic of 14 or less inside it (this cannot be a Tyrannocyte or a Sporocyst). A Malefactor may disembark units while it is being assaulted or after it moved but may not disembark on a turn that it has chosen to advance. If it is transporting a Synapse creature, then the synapse field continues to project from within the Malefactor, measuring the synapse field from the malefactor's base instead of the original model's.

If you do so, the hive ship can launch the Tyrannocyte at the end of any of your Movement phases – set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that are inside the Tyrannocyte (see right) must immediately disembark in the same manner as a unit disembarking from a transport, except that they must be set up more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that cannot be set up in this way are destroyed. This model and any units embarked aboard it are exempt from the Tactical Reserves matched play rule.

Dactylis[edit]
Fluff:
Hivemind's standard approach towards siege operations usually include subterranean or aerial distraction strike, followed by the massed frontal assault, lead by heavily armoured Carnifexes, meant to soak enemy firepower and ram through the gates or even walls. Though against the most heavily fortified points of the Imperium and Orks these attacks have proven to be too costly, mainly due to the absurd amount of heavy ordnance they deploy. To counter this, hive mind breed it's own heavy ordnance, in a form of Dactylis.
Based on the simple and easy to produce Carnifex genus, Dactylis is nothing like its progenitor. Slow and sluggish, it prefers to keep itself as long distance from its foes as possible, and usually tries to hide and flee if left on its own. Its weapon limbs get transformed into massive plates of ablative armour, almost useless in close combat, but invaluable at protecting it from enemy firepower. Armed with a massive spore launcher biomorph on it's back, Dactylis uses its oversized chem glands to fill both the spores and the weapon's barrel with compressed bio-plasma, and then detonate it to launch the spore with a force, rivalled only by the heavy artillery of humans. Though neither the launching process nor the chem glands of the Dactylis proven to be stable, the usefulness of this siege beast and the ease with producing it totally compensate these weaknesses.

Modelling notes
A Dactylis should be represented with a Carnifex base body with massive bio-cannon on its back, skin sacs, meant to represent bio-plasmic chem glands, sticking off its sides or back, and its weapon limbs replaced by the armour plates, covering the front of the model. The final result should look like this
This unit contains 1 Dactylis (Power Rating 40).

Biomorphs:
- Dactylis Birthing Cannon with Frag Mines
- Gigantic Shovel Limbs
Special Rules:
- Birthing Overload: At the beginning of your shooting phase if this model did not move in the preceding movement phase, then you may have this model suffer D3+1 mortal wounds. If so, you may fire this model's Dactylis Birthing Cannon twice (and at different targets if you wish) until your next shooting phase but for each hit roll of 1, this model suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- Launched Mines (Acid Mine): Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon equipped with Acid Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds, and on a 6 it inflicts D6 mortal wounds. Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon misses its target, set up D3 <HIVE FLEET> Acid Mine models anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Acid Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for an Acid Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.
- Launched Mines (Char Mine): Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon equipped with Char Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds, and on a 6 it inflicts D6 mortal wounds. Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon misses its target, set up D3 <HIVE FLEET> Char Mine models anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Char Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Char Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Add 1 to the hit rolls when targeting units that can Fly. Enemy Flyers suffer double the number of mortal wounds from this weapon.
- Launched Mines (Frag Mine): Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon equipped with Frag Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 6 automatic hits with the profile below, D3+6 on a 6. Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon misses its target, set up D3 <HIVE FLEET> Frag Mine models anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Frag Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Frag Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:
Weapon S AP D Abilities Frag Mine 4 -1 1 -
- Launched Mines (Toxic Mine): Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon equipped with Toxic Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 6 automatic hits with the profile below, D3+6 on a 6. Each time a Dactylis Birthing Cannon misses its target, set up D3 <HIVE FLEET> Toxic Mine models anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Toxic Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Toxic Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Toxic Mine:
Weapon S AP D Abilities Toxic Mine 1 0 D3 This weapon always wounds on a 2+ unless the target is a Vehicle.
- Ruptured Birthing Sack: When this model is slain roll a D6. On a 1 nothing happens, remove this model as usual. On a 2+ place 3D6 Spore Mines (the one it had equipped) in base contact with this unit (or with an enemy unit in base contact with this model), then remove it from the battlefield. On a 6, however, the fatal blow has caused the remaining spore mines in the Dactylis’ birthing chamber to explode, causing a massive shower of lethal components. All units with 2D6” of this model suffer 6 automatic hits from the type of Spore Mines it was equipped with.
- Titanic Monster: A model with this rule can Fall Back in the movement phase and still shoot and/or charge during its turn. This model may still shoot if there are enemy models within 1” of it as long as they possess the INFANTRY keyword. In this case, it can shoot at enemies within 1” of itself or any other visible enemy unit that is not within 1” of a friendly unit. Finally, this model only gains a bonus to its armour save if at least half of it is obscured from the firing unit.
- Unsubtle Attack’s: When this model attacks in the Fight phase, you may add 1 to the hit rolls if the targeted unit has 10 or more models in it or it has the Titanic keyword. However, it subtracts 1 from its hit rolls against units with less than 5 models.

These models have their normal Biomorphs. Alternatively, you can replace up to 20 models lost earlier in the battle in an existing unit of GENESTEALERS, Ymgarl GENESTEALERS, TERMAGANTS, HORMAGAUNTS, HIVE GUARD, TYRANT GUARD or TYRANID WARRIORS from your army that is within 6" of the Dominatrix. These models count as having the same upgrades as the unit they take part in. Models placed in this way must be within 6" of the Dominatrix and more than 1" from the enemy.
- Synaptic Beacon: <Hive Fleet> units automatically pass Morale tests if they are within 36" of this model. In addition, Instinctive Behaviour effects only activate if the unit is more than 72” away from this model.
- Titanic monster: A model with this rule can Fall Back in the movement phase and still shoot and/or charge during its turn. When this model Falls Back, it can even move over enemy models as long as they possess the INFANTRY keyword and as long as it ends it's moving more than 1” from enemy models. This model may still shoot if there are enemy models within 1” of it as long as they possess the INFANTRY keyword. In this case, it can shoot at enemies within 1” of itself or any other visible enemy unit that is not within 1” of a friendly unit. Finally, this model only gains a bonus to its armour save if at least half of it is obscured from the firing unit.

Special Rules:
- Burrowing: At the beginning of any of your Movement phases, any Viragon can burrow. Remove it from the battlefield - it can return as described in the Underground Reaper ability. A Viragon may not burrow and return to the battlefield in the same turn. If the battle ends while the Viragon is underground, it is considered to be slain.
- Caustic Vomit: When this model slays a model that doesn't have the Titanic keyword with its Melting Maw (the Swallow Whole rule counts), instead of healing D3 lost wounds, it can make a shooting attack against an enemy unit between 18" (even between 1" of this model but not of other friendly units) with the following profile:
| Range | Type | S | AP | D | Abilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18" | Assault X | * | -5 | D3 | X is the number of wounds the slain model had (if the model had the Vehicle or Monster keyword then it's half the wounds that he had). In addition, this weapon wounds on a roll equal to the slain model's armour save (If its armour save was 2+ then this weapon wounds on a 2+ and so on). This weapon automatically hits its target. |
- Dense Muscular Tissue: This model has a 6+ saves against any damage, mortal wounds included. If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a D6 before removing it from the battlefield; on a 4+, it lashes out in its death throes, and each unit within 6" suffers D6 mortal wounds, D6+3 on a 6.
- Subterranel Tunnels: During deployment, you can set up a Viragon underground instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the same time, you can set up a maximum of two <HIVE FLEET> unit in the Viragon's tunnel. At the end of any of your Movement phases, set up the Viragon anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. If there are other units in the Viragon's tunnel, set them up at the same time wholly within 6" of the Viragon and more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that you cannot place in this way are destroyed.
- Swallow Whole: If an enemy model suffers any damage from this model Acid Maw it has to take a Strenght test (unless it has the Titanic keyword). If the result is equal or higher than this model's strength characteristic then nothing happens, if the result is lower then that model is slain, remove it from the game without making saves of any kind. This model then regains D3 lost wounds.
- Underground Reaper: Instead of following the Subterranean Tunnels rule you can set up a Viragon alone underground instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases, set up the Viragon anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 1" away from any enemy models and more than 6" away from any other Viragons set up this way this turn, then roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 2" of it; on a 1 the unit escapes unharmed, on a 2-3 it suffers D3 mortal wound, on a 4-5 it suffers D6 mortal wounds, and on a 6 it suffers D6+3 mortal wounds. The Viragon cannot charge in the same turn.
Psyker:
- A Viragon that has purchased the Synaptic Spinal Node Upgrade can attempt to manifest two psychic powers in each friendly Psychic phase, and attempt to deny two psychic power in each enemy Psychic phase. It knows the Smite power and two psychic powers from any of the Hivemind's disciplines.
Upgrades:
- Hardened Carapace: Subtract 2" from this model's movement and charge distance. Also, consider the AP of the weapons that wound this model has two points worse (-4 become -2, -2 becomes 0 and so on).
- Iper-Acid Sacs: You can re-roll all wound rolls for this model and on a wound roll of 6 the enemy unit suffers 3D3 mortal wounds. Also, consider the AP of every weapon of this model (included the Caustic Vomit) as one point better. In addition, each time this model loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 4+ every unit between 6" suffers 2D3 mortal wounds, 2D6 on a 6.
