Army Rules

Universal

• 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. In addition, this unit counts as always being below Half-strength.

• Synapse Creature: 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.

A model with this special rule has the following abilities:

-Shadow in the Warp (Aura): 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 24" of any units with this ability. In addition, enemy Psykers suffer Perils of the Warp on any double result instead of only on double 1s and 6s. Tyranid Psykers are not affected.

-Synapse (Aura): A psychic field extends through ever creature's body, commanding it to the ensuing massacre.

<HIVE FLEET> units automatically pass Morale tests if they are within 12" of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> units with this ability. In addition, <HIVE FLEET> units don't suffer from Instinctive Behaviour if they are within 24" of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> units with this ability (this is the unit's "Synapse range").

Detachment Rules

• Objective Secured: 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 Mind Evolution Matrix

The Hive Fleet is not a single entity. It is made up of untold trillions of minds, some lesser, some comparable to a man, while others have intellects to rival that of a primarch. This intelligence is constantly learning and adapting, countering an opponent with both tactical and physical modification for every day, every hour, every swing of a sword. This makes the endless hordes an almost impossible threat to defeat unless they are wiped out upon first encountering them... something which is nigh impossible.

If your army is Battle-forged then select one of the first three spheres in the diagram below; units in your army benefit from the selected rule. Then, at the start of each battle round, select another circle that is connected to at least one you already possess, and that is on a higher tier than the last; you gain that ability. All the abilities below are cumulative and, once selected, may not be removed.

Tier 1:

• 1) - Atmospheric Targeting Adjustment: Miotic spores are released into the atmosphere, gathering precise information about the planets gravity, atmospheric composition, and light quality, allowing the attacking force to make the most out of their ranged firepower.

Add 6" to the range of all ranged weapons in this unit.

• 2) - Hive Mind Relay Limpets: Lesser Tyranids are sent into battle with psychic limpets on their flesh, providing a relay for the Tyranid psykers to manifest even greater power.

Add 1 to any psychic tests made by this model to either cast or block a psychic power.

• 3) - Psychic Goading Screech: The shadow in the warp howls into the minds of all present, goading them into greater speed.

This unit adds D3" to their charge distances.

Tier 2:

• 4) - Rooting Tendrils: Tendril creatures living on a host's body burrow their way even into plasteel, giving a much more stable firing platform for the warrior beast.

At the beginning of any of your Movement phases, this unit may elect to root onto the ground If so, the Movement characteristic of models in its unit becomes "-" and they may not Advance or Charge; in addition, add 1 to all hit rolls made by models in this unit with ranged weapons but subtracts 1 from all their hit rolls with melee weapons and they are automatically hit during the Fight phase. If this unit already has a plus 1 to its ranged hit rolls, then it may instead re-roll all failed hit rolls during the Shooting phase.

• 5) - Ravenous Ammunitions: The already living Tyranid ammunition is imbued with an insatiable hunger, driving them into a floes flesh, only to erupt out the other side in a desperate attempt to feed on the flesh of another target.

If a ranged attack from this unit would slay an enemy model but the damage inflicted is greater than the model's remaining number of wounds, that model's unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

• 6) - Torment Syphon: Upon death, the psychic energies relayed through all Tyranids is channelled into the synapse network, proving more power for the more terrifying beats.

Keep note of the number of Tyranid Infantry units which are slain within Synapse range of any of your Synapse creatures. For each of these units, you gain one torment point, to a maximum of 3. Whenever a unit manifests or denies a psychic power you may spend 1 of these points to add 1 to the result of your psychic test or Deny the Witch test.

• 7) - Pheromone Lock: x

If this unit is not a Monster, then as long as it doesn't move through any terrain feature with the Difficult Ground or Dense Cover keywords, it may move an additional 3" whenever it makes a normal move or advance, but the unit has to move in a straight line for the whole movement.

Tier 3:

• 8) - Stabilising Tendrils: Specialised retaining tentacles erupt from the creatures limbs, grasping onto any form of purchase, allowing the tyranid to support their weight in otherwise impossible manners.

If a unit did not move in its proceeding movement phase it may add 12" to the range of its ranged weapons, to a maximum of double the weapons original range.

• 9) - Synapse Targeting Relays: Miotic spores burrow into the ground and send up floating arrays of eyes and sensor hairs, relaying targeting information to the rest of the force.

Add 1 to this unit's hit rolls if during the Shooting phase it targets an enemy unit that has been damaged by another Tyranid unit during the course of the battle.

• 10) - Command Roots Established: The warlord impregnates the ground with a mycorrhizal network which connects with every other tranid touching it, providing more accurate tactical information than even the synapse network can produce.

If your Warlord is currently on the table, then you gain 1 command point at the start of every Command phase, instead of just your own.

• 11) - Sacrificial Cover Growths: The battlefield becomes covered in a crusty slime, which while just a degusting inconvenience for the enemy, can morph and move to improve areas of cover for fellow Tyranids.

This unit may re-roll failed Armor save rolls of 1 made while benefitting from Light and/or Heavy Cover. In addition, this unit gains a 6+ Invulnerable save.

• 12) - Rapid Steroid Inducement Glands: Ripper swarms shuttle adrenaline-rich biomass to the fighting force, where it is absorbed by the tyranids, increasing muscle mass and driving them to greater blood lust.

Add 1 to the Strength characteristics of models in this unit in a turn in which it charged, was charged or performed a heroic intervention.

Tier 4:

• 13) - Dramatic Ocular Enlargement: The Tyranids cranium expands and the existing eyes or consumed by a new symbiotic eye creature of grotesque proportions, allowing the Tyranid unparalleled clarity and field of vision.

Imprve the Ballistic Skill of models in this unit by 1.

• 14) - Backline Sabotage Drones: Rippers and other menial beasts burrow into teh enemy supply lines, identifying important equipment and personnel and beginning to disrupt them, causing little damage but having a drastic impact on the enemy efficiency.

Any Stratagem an opponent has used earlier in the battle has its cost increased by 1 Command Point.

• 15) - Explosive Cellular Cessation: Upon death, the Tyranid's weapons turn upon itself, turning the creature's insides into an explosive vat in one last attempt to inflict damage on the enemy.

Whenever this unit would lose a wound while within 1" of an enemy unit, roll a D6 for each wound lost; on a 6 an enemy unit within 1" suffers 1 mortal wound. If this unit is a Monster, it suffers the mortal wound on a 4+ instead.

Tier 5:

• 16) - Extraction Tower Biomass Bombard: Gorged with biomass, the Tyranid biomass towers are directed by the horde to erupt some of its bounty on the battlefield to dowse enemy units with corrosive matter.

During the Shooting phase, if this unit has the Synapse keyword, you may pick an enemy unit within line of sight of this unit; that unit immediately suffers D3 mortal wounds.

• 17) - Psychic Dominion Network: Unholy amounts of biomass are funnelled into psychic node creatures, gripping the battlefield ever tighter in the tyranid hive mind.

Add 1 to any psychic tests made by this model to either cast or deny a psychic power. In addition, this unit may manifest the Smite psychic power without incurring a plus 1 to the manifestation cost for each time it has been cast that turn.

• 18) - Mitochondria Respiration Hyperdrive: The mitochondria in the Tyranid's cells are replaced by a new variant genetically engineered for the current enemy and planet to provide the maximium power possible for the never ending hordes.

Add 1 to this unit's Attacks and Strength characteristics. In addition, all wound rolls of 6+ made in the Fight phase inflict 1 mortal wound in addition to normal damage, this is cumulative with any other effects.

Hive Fleet Adaptations

• 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 adaptation charges, was charged or performed a heroic intervention it adds 1 to its Strength and Attacks characteristic for the duration of the following fight phase.

Add 1 to the charge distances of units with this adaptation.

• Gorgon- Adaptive Toxins: The toxins produced by Hive Fleet Gorgon’s swarm-creatures adapt with terrifying speed to any foe, agonizing 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.

Change the effect of Toxin Sacs for units with this adaptation to: "Any wound rolls of 6+ in the Fight phase for a model with toxin sacs cause 1 mortal wound in addition to normal damage."

• 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.

You can re-roll hit rolls in the Fight phase for units with this adaptation that target units containing fewer models than their own.

Units with this code have the Objective Secured ability. If a model in such a unit already has this ability, that model counts as one additional model when determining control of an objective marker.

• 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.

A unit with this adaptation (other than units that can Fly) always has the benefit of cover for the purposes of shooting attacks. If the unit Advances or declares a charge, however, it loses the benefit of this adaptation until the start of your next Movement phase.

Units with this adaptation in reserves may choose to ignore the turn limitations for arriving and being destroyed. Any unit in reserves at the end of the game still count as being destroyed

• 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.

Units with this adaptation 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.

Each time a model with this adaptation would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound, roll one D6; on a 5+ that wound is not lost.

• 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.

Roll a D6 each time a unit with this adaptation loses a wound whilst it is within Synapse range of a friendly Synapse unit from the same hive fleet. On a 6, the damage is ignored and the unit does not lose a wound. Ignore this adaptation on a unit that is currently affected by the Catalyst psychic power.

Add 3" to the Synapse range of Synapse units with this adaptation.

Splinter Fleets

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 Armor 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 Attacks characteristic in a turn in which they charged, were charged or performed a heroic intervention.

• 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 armor.

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 tumor 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 1" of 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 channeling 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 models it kills.

• 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 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. In addition, enemy units must subtract 1 from their hit rolls if they target a Monster unit with this adaptation that is within 1" of them.

• Hypermetabolic Acceleration: This hive fleet bio-engineers its horrors with multiple stim-releasing glands. Surges of extragalactic chemicals drive them to frenzied rushes across the prey worlds.

When a unit with this adaptation Advances or Charges, you can re-roll the result.

• 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 units with this trait regain 1 previously lost wound at the start of each of your turns, while Monster units 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 defenses.

As long as a unit with this adaptation is within 9” of another unit with this adaptation, it adds 1 to its movement any time it makes any move and to its 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

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

-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

-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, enemy units that had one or more models destroyed this phase as a result of an attack made by this model suffer D3 mortal wounds.

Stratagems

Universal

Battle Tactics Stratagems

• Buried Threats (1 CP): Burrowing feeder organisms can surge just beneath the surface, their advance shrouded in sprays of earth.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a RIPPERS unit from your army is set up on the battlefield using the Burrowers ability. For as long as that unit remains stationary, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon against that unit, subtract 1 from the hit roll.

• 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). That piece of terrain loses every trait and special rule it has. In addition, roll a die for each unit fully within that piece of terrain; on a 6 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

• Grasping Tendrils (1 CP): None escape the deadly reach of these toxic appendages.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Epic Deed Stratagems

• It has Returned (4 CP): The great lord of the Tyranid threat cannot be extinguished, its conscience is merely preserved while it waits to be born again, to bring an end to those foolish enough to face it.

Use this Stratagem at the beginning of your Command phase, if your army contains the Swarmlord but it has been destroyed during the course of the battle. Immediately deploy it within 6" of any table edge and at least 9" away from enemy units. In addition, when the Swarmlord targets the unit that destroyed it, re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls. This Stratagem can only be used once per battle.

Requisition Stratagems

• 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.

• Bounty of the Hive Fleet (1 CP): Each hive fleet can create a number of powerful bio-artifacts and unique weapon symbiotes, to be grafted to its synapse beasts if its supremacy is threatened.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your Warlord has the Tyranids keyword. Select one Tyranids character model in your army and give them one Relic (this must be a Relic they can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

• 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.

• Progeny of the Hive (1 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. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

• Sporefield (1 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. Add one unit 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. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

• Surge of Command Organisms (1 CP): When faced with great challenges, the Hive Mind brings forth an array of alpha creatures to better coordinate its tendrils.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your Warlord has the Tyranid keyword. Select one Tyranid Character model in your army and determine one Warlord Trait for that model (this must be a Warlord Trait they can have); that model is only regarded as your Warlord for the purposes of that Warlord Trait. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results), and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Warlord Traits. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

Strategic Ploy Stratagems

• Adrenaline Surge (3 CP): Tyranids will not cease their butchery until every living thing in their path has been torn to bloody shreds.

Use this Stratagem at the end of the Fight phase. Select a Tyranids unit from your army, that unit can immediately fight again.

• Aggressive Adaptation (1 CP): Biomorphic resin sharpens at the touch of enemy blood.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an enemy unit is destroyed as a result of an attack made by a <HIVE FLEET> model from your army. Until the end of the battle, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of melee weapons that models in that model’s unit are equipped with by 1 (e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1). Each unit can only be affected by this Stratagem once per battle.

• Call the Brood (2 CP): Bounding from the dark corners of the battlefield come hulking figures with razor claws and ravenous eyes.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Add a new unit of Genestealers or Ymgarl Genestealers to your army and set them up as reinforcements wholly within 6" of a Genestealer Patriarch (or Ymgarl Genestealer 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.

• 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.

• 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. Until the end of that turn, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon against a friendly unit within 6" of that model, subtract 1 from that weapon’s Strength characteristic to a minimum of 1, for that attack.

• Feeder Tendrils (0 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 (1 CP): The Haruspex’s instinctive need to consume is insatiable.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a Haruspex unit from your army is chosen to fight with. Until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made by that model, you can re-roll the hit roll.

• Feral Instincts (1 CP): Talons are unconsciously directed at throats and eyes.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select one Infantry unit from your army. Until the end of that phase, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of melee weapons models in that unit are equipped with by 1 (e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1).

• 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 Rippers 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.

• 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.

• 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 Command phase. 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).

• 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 or Stratagem.

• Power of the Hive Mind (1 CP) The gestalt consciousness of the Hive Mind possesses a psychic might beyond mortal comprehension.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Psychic phase. Select a Tyranids Psyker unit from your army that manifested a psychic power this turn. It can immediately attempt to manifest one additional psychic power this turn.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 special rule. 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Wargear Stratagems

• 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 armor.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Psychic Barrage (1 CP): By channeling 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 special rule. 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.

Hive Fleet-Specific

• Behemoth - Battle Tactics Stratagem - 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 - Wargear Stratagem - 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 - Requisition Stratagem - 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 Termagaunts, 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 - Strategic Ploy Stratagem - 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 - Strategic Ploy Stratagem - 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 - Battle Tactics Stratagem - War on All Fronts (1 CP): Hive Fleet Leviathan brings death from land, sea and sky.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase.

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

Universal

• 1: 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.

• 2: 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.

• 3: 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.

• 4: 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.).

• 5: 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").

• 6: 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.

Hive Fleet-Specific

• 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

Unless stated otherwise, all Tyranid psykers must generate their powers from any of the below Hive Mind disciplines.

Hive Mind's Control

-1: 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.

-2: 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 special rule. Until the end of your next Psychic phase, that unit ignores its Instinctive Behaviour ability and automatically passes Morale tests.

-3: 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 Attacks and Strength characteristics if it charged that turn.

-4: 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 consider their Ballistic Skill and Combat Skill as 2 points better.

-5: 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).

-6: 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 characteristics in a turn in which it 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, gain the benefit of cover, and it's hit automatically in close combat until the start of the next Psychic phase.

Hive Mind's Malice

-1: Mutagenesis (Warp Charge: 7): The energies emitted from the servants of the great devourer mutate their victims in grotesque ways, ampering their chances of fighting back.

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 characteristic until the beginning of your next Psychic phase.

-2: Optical Overload (Warp Charge: 7): A burst of synaptic energies temporarily fries the optical nerves of nearby creatures, rendering them blind and unable to protect themselves.

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit can only hit on 6s in both the Shooting and Fight phase.

-3: 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.

-4: Stand and Die (Warp Charge: 8): As the hungry swarm approaches, one thought breaks into the shaking soldiers' minds: "Come closer... let the feast begin".

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. That unit must take a Leadership test; if the test is failed, then until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit can't benefit from cover, it has to consider its Ballistic Skill and Combat Skill as 2 points worse, can't fire Overwatch, and has to attack last in the Fight phase. 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.

-5: 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.

-6: The Shadow Notices (Warp Charge: 7): Looming over the battlefield, the shadow of the great devourer engulfs those foolish enough to drive its attention.

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit must reduce its Leadership characteristic 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 suffers a penalty of 1 to its Invulnerable saves.

Hive Mind's Wrath

-1: Alien Voice (Warp Charge: 7): A microscopically link between the enemy and the hive mind is created. Although short, the forced contact with such a powerful presence can be lethal for the lesser trained soldiers.

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; if the result is a draw, nothing happens as the mental energies cancel each other out; 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 characteristic cannot be affected by this psychic power.

-2: Despair (Warp Charge: 7): The power of the mighty hive mind crushes the spirit of its prey and destroys them from the inside.

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
10	0	2	This weapon wounds based on the Leadership of the unit instead of the Toughness. In addition, Armor and Invulnerable saves may not be taken against this attack.

-3: 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. That unit must take a Leadership test; if the test if failed, 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 Armor saves or Invulnerable can be used as normal.

-4: Psychic Cacophony (Warp Charge: 7): A tempest of screams and growl floods the minds of the unfortunate souls; this wave of razor cries overwhelms any contact with the outside world and any type of link a lone soldier can have with its comrades, rendering it helpless against the horrors of the incoming tides.

Select one enemy unit with 18" of the psyker; that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, if that unit has a rule that modifies its Leadership characteristic based on its number of models, then subtract from that amount the number of friendly <Hive Fleet> models within 12" of that unit.

-5: 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.

-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	-2	1	Blast
Warp Orb	24"	Assault D6	8	-3	D3	Blast
Warp Lance	24"	Assault 1	10	-4	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.

Hive Fleet-Specific

These followings Psychic Powers can be taken by any Tyranid Psyker of that specific <Hive Fleet>, regardless of the indications of one model's on which discipline to choose powers from.

-Behemoth - Unstoppable Hunger (Warp Charge: 7): The Hive Mind siphons into its organisms a tiny portion of Behemoth’s insatiable and aeons-long hunger. Filled with an aching void, claws and talons rend ever more desperately in their need to feed.

Pick a friendly Behemoth unit within 9" of the psyker. Until the end of the turn, add 1 to the wound rolls for that unit's melee attacks.

-Gorgon - Poisonous Influence (Warp Charge: 6): The synapse creature radiates a pulsed imperative which triggers the semi-sentient spores of Gorgon’s bio-horrors, guiding the secretion of venom laced with a seeping psychic miasma.

Until your next Psychic phase, improve the AP characteristic of melee weapons for friendly Gorgon units within 9" of this psyker by one.

-Hydra - Death Shriek (Warp Charge: 5): Amplifying the psychic death cry of Hydra’s progeny to horrifying levels, the Hive Mind causes excruciating physical and psychic trauma in those who resist its predations.

Until your next Psychic phase, when a friendly Hydra unit that is within 6" of both this psyker and an enemy unit loses a model, roll a D6. On a 5+, the closest enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

-Jormungandr - Lurking Maw (Warp Charge: 6): The Hive Mind extends a psychic summons, and calls upon Jormungandr’s embedded and waiting broods. Mindlessly converging via synaptic imperative, their sudden and frenzied attacks spell the foe’s end.

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 (Warp Charge: 5): Drawing upon Kraken’s strategic cunning, the Hive Mind projects a psychic marker upon an identified threat. Unknowingly radiating an irresistible lure to every nearby brood, the enemy is doomed.

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

-Kronos - Symbiostorm (Warp Charge: 6): The Hive Mind delves into the neural mesh between Kronos’ organisms and their symbiotes. Guided by its majestic will, a deluge of shrieking bio-matter reaches out unerringly towards the Tyranids’ prey.

Pick a friendly Kronos unit within 12" of the psyker. Until the end of the turn, when that unit rolls a 6+ to hit with a ranged weapon, it scores an additional hit.

-Leviathan - Hive Nexus (Warp Charge: 6): The Hive Mind funnels Leviathan’s sophisticated synaptic network through its conduits, enforcing its gestalt will among the hive fleet’s lesser organisms.

Until your next Psychic phase, the synapse range of friendly Leviathan units is 18" instead of 12" (unless it would be already higher) and improve the save conferred by the Leviathan Hive Fleet adaptation by 1.

Apocalypse Rules

Apocalypse rules are special rules that are meant to represent the power of an immense force on the tabletop. Each army has one and it differs from effects and restrictions.

Gaping Night: The shadow of the warp wraps the planet in an unending blanket of silence and despair

If your army is Battle-forged, and contains at least 6000 points of Tyranids units, then all Tyranids units in your army gain this special rule. All non-Tyranids psykers on the board suffer from the effect of the Shadow in the Warp special rule. In addition, they suffer a penalty of D3 to their Leadership characteristic instead of only 1.

Tyranid Biomorphs

Melee Biomorphs

• Acid Maw Biomorphs: A simple and yet effective adaptation, many Tyranid creatures sport acidic glands with which they can digest anything in an instant. Of course, this can also aid against the hardest of food supplies.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Acid Maw	Melee	Melee	User	-3	1	-
Melting Maw	Melee	Melee	User	-5	6	Each time the bearer fights, it can give up all its attacks to make one single attack with this weapon. If this weapon kills a model the Viragon heals D3 wounds it had previously lost.
Monstrous Acid Maw	Melee	Melee	User	-5	D3	-

• Bio-flail: A brute bio-weapon found on the brutish Stone-crusher Carnifex; although less adept at slicing through heavy armor like its claws, the damage done by this organic wreaking ball can be devastating against the less defended soldiers.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Bio-flail	Melee	Melee	User	-1	2	Each time the bearer fights, one (and only one) of its attacks can be made with this weapon. When the bearer fights with this weapon, make a number of hit rolls against one target unit equal to the number of models that the target unit has within 2" of the bearer.

• Blinding Venom: Although small, Gargoyles and Simurghs can spit a particular kind of venom that swollen up the eyes and turns these tiny creatures into much bigger threats.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Blinding Venom	Melee	Melee	3	0	1	If any unit suffers any unsaved wounds from this weapon, your opponent must subtract 1 from hit rolls for that unit until the end of the turn.

• Bone Sabres: The iconic weapons of the mighty Swarmlord, their reputation is well known across many species hit by the Tyranid plague and are an essential part of the aura of terror and mystery around their carrying creature. Just a scratch from these terrifying weapons can be fatal as bone and armor are sliced through by the sheer power of their psychic field.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Bone Sabres	Melee	Melee	User	-3	6	Each time you make a wound roll of 6+ for this weapon, the target suffers a mortal wound in addition to any other damage. Successful Invulnerable save against wounds caused by this weapon must be re-rolled.

• Bonesword Biomorphs: One of the more elite choices of close carnage in the ranks of the hungering swarm, they are usually found on commanding organisms like warriors, but upscaled versions can be spotted even on Hive Tyrants. The powerful psychic energies that flow through them or the usual pairing with Lash Whips make them extremely effective weapons for carnage.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities

Bio-Artifacts

Universal

• 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-artifact 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 are 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.

• 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.

This Relic replaces the model's two Deathspitters with Slimer Maggots. In addition, this model and every <Hive Fleet> unit within 6" may re-roll every wound roll during the Shooting Phase if the fire with any weapon from the Deathspitter Weapons list.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Slimer Maggot Infestation	24"	Assault 6	7	-1	1	-

• The Hungering Carapace: This entire carapace is, in reality, a symbiont creature that leeches onto the host's back and feeds on the pieces of biomass that comes too close to its hidden tendrils.

This model's Armor save is improved by one. In addition, 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 utilize 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.

This Relic replaces the model's Heavy Venom Cannon and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
The Miasma Cannon (Miasmic Spray)	8"	Assault D6	7	-2	2	Blast. This weapon always wounds on a 2+, unless the target is a VEHICLE or Building. This weapon automatically hits its target.
The Miasma Cannon (Miasmic Spit)	36"	Assault D3	10	-3	3	Blast. This weapon always wounds on a 2+, unless the target is a VEHICLE or Building.

• The Psyleech Venom Cannon: This peculiar weapon can fire a special parasite able to disrupt psychic energies, or simply a wave of venomous bodily fluids unto the enemy.

This Relic replaces the model's Heavy Venom Cannon and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
The Psyleech Venom Cannon (Salvo)	36"	Assault D6	5	-2	1	Blast.
The Psyleech Venom Cannon (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.

• 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 a legend amongst those that have had the misfortune to encounter them and live. Now, dark rumors 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 its 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 until all three have been selected at least once.

• Slashing Claws: The model has +D3 Strength.
• Tentacled Limbs: The model has +D3 Attack.
• Muscled Carapace: The model has +D3 Toughness.

• 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

• 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 only. This Relic replaces the model's Monstrous Scything Talons and has the following profile:

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 - Ruinous Touch The toxins and acids produced by the Gorgon leader organisms are able to corrode any substance and turn even the most durable of armors to mush.

Gorgon model only. Non-Titanic models that had been hit by at least one close combat attack from this model suffer a -1 penalty to their Armor save until the end of the game. In addition, if any model rolls at least one natural 1 (after all re-rolls) in close combat while trying to hit this model, roll a die; on a 5+ the weapon with which the model attacked is destroyed and cannot be used for the duration of the game. 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.

• Hydra - Hyper-Adaptive Biology Leader-beasts spawned by Hive Fleet Hydra possess an intricate array of bizarre, transmutative organs, each of which can reform itself in mere moments to respond to any internal trauma.

Hydra 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.

• Jormungandr - Infrasonic Roar: Some Jormungandr bio-colossi utilize 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 armor 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 defenses it encounters, flaring white-hot to burn through kinetic shielding, or sharpening to a monomolecular edge to slice through even the thickest power armor.

Kronos model only. This Relic replaces the model's Stranglethorn Cannon and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Balethorn Cannon	36"	Assault D6	7	-2	2	Blast. 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 that 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 only. This Relic replaces the model’s Monstrous Boneswords and has the following profile:

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.

Finally, this unit may never hold objectives.

If the unit has the Monster keyword it can heal D6 wounds instead of D3 but this unit automatically suffers 6 mortal wounds. Finally, if the model is Titanic it can also heal D6 wounds but this unit suffers 12 mortal wounds instead.

Special Rules:

• Instinctive Behaviour
• Spore Mine Launcher (Acid Mines): Each time a Spore Mine Launcher 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 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Acid Mine model 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. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch.
• Spore Mine Launcher (Char Mines): Each time a Spore Mine Launcher 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 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Char Mine model 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. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch. Add 1 to the hit rolls when targeting units that can Fly.
• Spore Mine Launcher (Frag Mines): Each time a Spore Mine Launcher 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 D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Frag Mine model 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. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:

Erinyes Brood

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 with constant generation of electromagnetic energy. 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.

Dactylis

The hive mind's standard approach towards siege operations usually include subterranean or aerial distraction strikes, followed by the massed frontal assault, lead by heavily armored 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, the hive mind breed its own heavy ordnance, in a form of Dactylis.

Based on the simple and easy to produce Biovore genus, mixed with the brutal resistance of the Carnifex, the Dactylis is slow and sluggish and it prefers to keep itself as far from its foes as possible. Armed with a massive spore launcher biomorph on its back, Dactylis uses its oversized chem glands to fill both the spores and the weapon's barrel with compressed bio-plasma and then detonates it to launch the living projectiles with a force rivaled only by the most powerful artilleries of other races.

This unit contains 1 Dactylis (Power Rating: 40).

Name	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	A	Ld	Sv	Pts/model
Dactylis	6"	5+	3+	8	9	18-35	3	10	2+	800
Dactylis	6"	5+	4+	8	9	8-17	D3	10	2+	800
Dactylis	6"	5+	5+	8	9	1-7	1	10	2+	800

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.

Options:

• May exchange its Frag Mines for one of the following spores:

-Acid Mines - free

-Char Mines - free

-Toxic Mines - free

• May take any of the followings:

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.

Viragon

x

This unit contains 1 Viragon (Power Rating: 100).

Name	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	A	Ld	Sv	Pts/model
Viragon	18"	3+	3+	9	8	38-50	6	10	3+	2000
Viragon	15"	3+	4+	8	8	26-37	6	10	3+	2000

Viragon	9"	5+	5+	7	8	1-12	6	10	3+	2000

Biomorphs:

• Acid Spit
• Melting Maw
• A pair of Viragon Scything Talons

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.
• Synaptic Spinal Node: This model receives the Synapse and Psyker keywords, the Shadow in the Warp special rule and a 5+ invulnerable save.

Options:

• May take one of the following upgrades:

-Hardened Carapace Upgrade - 50 pts.

-Iper-Acid Sacs Upgrade - 150 pts.

-Synaptic Spinal Node Upgrade - 100 pts.

• May take up to two of the followings:

-Psy-Catalyst - 40 pts.

-Spine-cloud Spray - 25 pts.
