Codex - Tyranids: /tg/'s 8th Edition

This page is a translation of the Codex - Tyranids: /tg/ edition into 8th edition. Since the Tyranids are now a decent army this codex is basically useless but still a funny idea if you want to play Tyranids in a more peculiar way.

Psychic powers

Unless stated otherwise, all Tyranid psykers may generate their powers from any of the below Hivemind disciplines.

Hivemind's Control:

• 1: Dominion

Warp Charge: 5

Through this power, Tyranid organisms are able to extend the range at which they can influence other Tyranid organisms.

Select a freindly Tyranids unit within 36" of the psyker that has the Instinctive Behavious ability. Until the end of your next Psychic phase, that unit ignoires its Instinctive Behaviour ability and automatically passes Morale tests.

• 2: Catalyst

Warp Charge: 6

Many tyranid psykers are known for their ability to make themselves and other Tyranids seemingly uncognizant of even the most grievous of injuries, allowing them to fight on.

Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time that unit loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 5+, the damage is ignored and the unit does not lose that wound.

• 3: Onslaught

Warp Charge: 6

The hive mind is capable of giving additional energy to the creatures that comprise its vast "body", allowing them to attack even while sprinting.

Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 18" of the psyker. That unit can shoot this turn (even if it Advanced) without suffering any penalties to its hit rolls for moving and shooting with Heavy weapons, or Advancing and shooting with Assault weapons. In addition, that unit can charge this turn even if it Advanced (though not if it Fell Back).

• 4: Unstoppable

Warp Charge: 8

A more severe form of the energies put into an organism by Onslaught, this power fills a Tyranid creature with so much psychic power as to become a juggernaut, though the influx of energy is prone to killing the organism afterwards.

Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 24" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase the target unit gains a 2+ save against any type of wounds, even mortal wounds and adds 1 to both its attack and strenght charateristic in a turn in which he charged. It may also re-roll failed to-hit rolls in both shooting and close combat. At the start of your next Psychic phase the target must immediately pass a Leadership test or be removed as casualty. If the test is passed, it may not take any actions during any phase, make cover saves, and it's hit automatically in close combat until the start of the next Psychic phase.

• 5: Fury

Warp Charge: 6

The emotion of anger is like all emotions, a product of chemicals, chemicals that Tyranid psykers can stimulate into being with a thought to grant the benefits that animalistic rage can provide in battle.

Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase the target unit adds 1 to both its attack and strenght charateristic if it charged that turn.

• 6: One Mind

Warp Charge: 7

Through this power, the Hive Mind is capable of turning even the most rudimentary of combat organisms into a formidable beast of battle as they receive the combat skills assimilated by the hive mind over the course of billions of years.

Select a friendly Tyranids unit within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase the target unit and the psyker add 2 to their hit rolls in both shooting and fighting phase.

Hivemind's Malice:

• 1: The Horror

Warp Charge: 6

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit must subtract 1 from their hit rolls and Leadership characteristic.

• 2: Paroxysm

Warp Charge: 5

Choose an enemy unit within 18" of the psyker. Until your next Psychic phase, that unit cannot fight in the Fight phase until all other units that are able to have done so. If the target has an ability that allows it to fight first in the Fight phase, it instead fights as if it didn't have this ability. If both players have units that cannot fight until all other units have done so, then alternate choosing which of those units to fight with, starting with the player whose turn is taking place.

• 3: Mutagenesis

Warp Charge: 6

Choose an enemy unit within 24" of the psyker. The target unit must pass a thoughness test or suffer a -1 penalty to toughness, strength and attacks.

• 4: The Shadow Notices

Warp Charge: 7

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit reduces its leadership by D3. If the target is a Psyker it suffers an additional -1 to its rolls when trying to manifest or deny a psychic power. Finally, if the target has the Demon keyword it has to consider its invulnerable save as one point worse.

• 5: Optical Overload

Warp Charge: 7

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

• 6: Stand and Die

Warp Charge: 6

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit can't benefit from cover and has to attack last in the fight phase.

Hivemind's Wrath:

• 1: Cacophony

Warp Charge: 6

Select a unit within 12" that is visible to the psyker. That unit suffers D6 automatic hits with the profile below:

S	AP	D	Abilities
8	-2	1	This weapon wounds on the leadership of the unit instead of the toughness

• 2: Psychic Scream

Warp Charge: 5

The nearest enemy unit within 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, if that unit is a PSYKER, roll two dice. If the result is higher than their Leadership characteristic, randomly select one of their psychic powers. They can no longer use that psychic power.

• 3: Alien Voice

Warp Charge: 7

Select a unit within 18" that is visible to the psyker. Both the target and the Psyker must roll a D6 and add the result to their Leadership - if the Psyker gets a higher result, the target takes the difference in mortal wounds as their minds and souls are burnt out from being forcibly put in contact with the hive mind, while the result of a draw causes nothing to happen as the mental energies cancel each other out, but if the target gets a bigger result they manage to avoid forming a connection to the hive mind and the feedback instead afflicts the offending tyranid; the psyker's Synapse range is immediately reduced by 6" until the start of his next Psychic phase. Models without Leadership value cannot be affected by this psychic power.

• 4: Despair

Warp Charge: 7

Select a unit within 18" that is visible to the psyker. That unit suffers D3 automatic hits with the profile below:

S	AP	D	Abilities
9	-3	2	This weapon wounds on the leadership of the unit instead of the toughness

• 5: Hunger

Warp Charge: 6

Through this power, the hive mind can force other living beings to experience a portion of the terrible hunger that the gestalt consciousness of the Tyranid race feels every day, a hunger far beyond the ability of lesser organisms to control, forcing them to try and eat their comrades to satiate this horrific desire to satiate an unfathomable hunger.

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Roll an opposed Leadership test against the highest Ld value in the targeted unit, if the target fails, the unit immediately suffers a number of hits equal to the number of models in that unit. These hits are resolved using the unit’s majority Strength (if drawn, use the highest) and AP-. Wounds are allocated by the owning player and armour saves or invulnerable saves if better.

• 6: Warp Blast

Warp Charge: 7

A blast of pure psychic energy either fired as a beam that can pierce the strongest armor, an orb that can rip apart terminators, or as a pulsating blast that can turn even the Astartes inside out, this is a signature ability of Zoanthropes.

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. You can immediately make a single shooting attack against that unit using one of the profiles below as if it was your shooting phase.

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Warp Blast	24"	Assault 2D6	6	-3	1	-

Mutations

In a unit's profile there is a section called "Mutations", followed by a set of model characteristics. For example: a Termagant is (M:1/WS:1/BS:1/S:1/T:1/W:-/A:-/Ld:1/Sv:-/Psy:-/Syn:-). Each characteristic has an associated cost, indicated by the number after the characteristic. This indicates the cost per model to increase that characteristic. Each characteristic can only be improved once, and characteristics with no associated costs (a dash) cannot be improved.

Abilities:

• Launched Mines:
  • For every successful hit roll made by a weapon profile with this ability do not make a wound or save roll, the target automatically suffers D3 mortal wounds. On a hit roll of 6+ the target unit instead suffers D6 mortal wounds. On a failed hit roll instead set up D3 Spore Mine models further than 6” away from the target unit.

• Birthing Overload: The Dactylis can send its metabolism into overdrive, using its own essential biomass to create even more spore mines to fire at the enemy.
  • 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 models 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.

• Unsubtle Attack’s: The Dactylis is not a subtle weapon, it’s job is to provide overwhelming amounts of firepower over a massive area and (if push comes to shove) crudely batter foes in melee. This blunt approach does allow small and nimble foes to easily out jink it and avoid its obvious attacks.
  • You may add 1 to the hit rolls for any of this models attacks 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.

• Ruptured Birthing Sack: The death of a Dactilyis is often a violent affair, with swarms of infantry being dissolved in torrents of bio acid as an unfortunate soul ruptured the Dactylis’ birthing chamber.
  • 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 in base contact with this unit (or with any 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 camber to explode causing a massive shower of acid, all units with 2D6” of this model suffer D6 mortal wounds.

• Titanic monster: We’re talking monster hunter end boss levels of huge here, seriously, the models for these things are huge.
  • 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.

Wargear:

• You can purchase one of the following abilities for this model.
  • Hardened Carapace (50 points)
  • Iper-Acid Sacs (150 points)
  • Synaptic Spinal Node (100 points)

Abilities:

• Swallow Whole: Viragons are very voracious creature and the size of their mouth is perfect for accomodating their need of flesh. There's nothing that can be done to save a comrade that falls into its acid-drooling jaws as when something enters that abyss, it never comes out.
  • If an enemy model suffer 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 strenght charateristic 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.

• Caustic Vomit: A Viragon can decide to vomit assimilated bio-mass to shower the enemy with its highly corrosive liquids.
  • When this model slains a model that doesn't have the Titanic keyword with its Acid 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 he model had the Vehicle keyword then it's half the wounds that he had). In addition this weapon wounds on a roll equal to the slain model's armor save (If its armor save was 2+ then this weapon wounds on a 2+ and so on). This weapon automatically hits its target.

• Hardened Carapace: The chitinous plating on this Viragon's back is composed of numerous layer that bond together in an heavy armor capable of deflecting even lascannon shots.
  • Subtract 2" from this model's movement and charge distance. Also, consider the AP of the weapons that wound this model has two point 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. In addition, this model knows two powers from the Tyranid Discipline and Smite and it can attempt to manifest and deny two powers per turn.

• 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.

• Underground Reaper: The ground begins to rumble and shift underneath your feet as you fire upon the tyranid horde. You look down at your feet to see an hole of two metres in diameter beginning to form. You begin to run, but it is already too late, as a cavernous jaw erupts from the ground and swallows you whole. This is an all too common an occurrence on a battlefield where a Viragon is on the prowl.
  • 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.

• Burrowing: Viragon (and tyranids in general) are not stupid, they know when they are outmatched or when their strength is needed elsewhere.
  • 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.

• 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.
