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

This article is awesome. Do not fuck it up.

This page is a translation of the Codex - Tyranids: /tg/ edition into 8th edition. Since the Tyranids are now a decent army this codex is basically useless but still a funny idea if you want to play Tyranids in a more extreme way. All the rules in this page are meant to be used alongside the normal Tyranids Codex. If a rule isn't explained, look it up on the Codex.

Expansions

Here you can find extra rules for some of the most fearsome Hive Fleets ever encountered by the Imperium of Man, alongside sceneries for campaigns and special missions.

Ghosts from Below (Coming Soon)

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 trait charges, was charged or performed a heroic intervention it adds 1 to its attack characteristic for the duration of the following fight phase. In addition, units with this trait always count as having charged, even if they did not charge in the previous charge phase.

Gorgon- Adaptive Toxins: The toxins produced by Hive Fleet Gorgon’s swarm-creatures adapt with terrifying speed to any foe, agonising and ravaging the bodies of their unfortunate victims.

You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Fight phase for units with this adaptation. In addition, the effect of Toxic Sacs is activated on a roll of 5+ instead of 6+.

Hydra- Swarming Instincts: Hive Fleet Hydra’s super-swarms overwhelm their prey with the sheer weight of numbers, drowning them in a tide of chitin, flesh and slashing claws.

A unit with this trait adds 1 to its hit rolls if the total number of attacks or shots it directs at a unit in the fight, shooting or overwatch phases is greater than the total number of models in the unit it is targeting. Add 2 to the units hit rolls instead if the value is double or more instead of greater than.

Jormungandr- Tunnel Network: The warrior-organisms of Hive Fleet Jormungandr attack from subterranean tunnels, making them extremely difficult to target until it is far too late.

Units with this trait count as being in cover as long as they did not advance in the movement phase. If a unit with this trait would gain the benefit of cover by another means (such as actually being in cover) it adds 2 to its armour save rolls instead of 1.

Kraken- Questing Tendrils: The Kraken harries and unbalances its foes with lightning-fast flanking attacks, before encircling them for the final, bloody massacre.

When a unit with this adaptation Advances, roll three dice instead of one and pick the highest to add to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit for that Movement phase. In addition, such units can Fall Back and charge in the same turn.

Kronos- Bio-Barrage: Hive Fleet Kronos obliterates its foes at range by unleashing devastating barrages of bio-plasma and living missiles.

You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for units with this adaptation in your Shooting phase if they did not move in the preceding Movement phase. In addition, add 1 to the result of the roll when trying to block an enemy psychic power.

Leviathan- Synaptic Imperative Hive Fleet Leviathan’s synaptic network is so strong that its organisms can be compelled by the Hive Mind to fight in spite of injuries that should have crippled or slain them outright.

A unit with this trait within 6” of a Synapse creature gains a 6+ invulnerability save against ranged attacks and ignores damage received on a 6+.

Custom Adaptations

Instead of picking one of the Hive Fleets above, you can instead create your own one. When you make your own Hive Fleet, pick two of the following adaptations, all units from that Hive Fleet benefit from them for the rest of the battle.

Adaptive Exoskeleton Units with this trait add 1 to their save rolls but may not advance.
Bestial Nature Units with this trait add 1 to their attack characteristic and hit rolls in a turn in which they charged, were charged or performed a heroic intervention. However, if the previous condition is not fulfilled this unit subtracts 1 from its hit rolls in the fight phase.
Bio-metallic Cysts: Improve the AP of all Scything Talons Weapons held by units with this adaptation by 1.
Biosphere Consumption: Roll a die each time a Monster unit with this adaptation that is within an organic piece of terrain loses a wound; on a 5+ that wound is not lost.
Cranial Channeling: Once per turn, every Psyker unit with this adaptation may re-roll the result of a psychic test.
Feeding Frenzy When a unit with this trait charged, was charged or performs a heroic intervention and kills/deals X damage it regains X damage/lost models at the end of the fight phase.
Horrors from Beyond: Enemy units have to subtract 1 from their Leadership characteristic if within 12" of a Monster with this adaptation and have to subtract 1 from their hit rolls.
Hypermetabolic Acceleration
Membranous Mobility: A unit that can Fly with this adaptation can Advance in a turn in which it Falls Back.
Methamorphic Regrowth: Infantry units with this trait regain 1 previously lost wound at the start of each of your turns, while Monsters regain D3 previously lost wounds instead.
Morphic Sinews
Pack Hunters: As long as a unit with this trait is within 9” of another unit with this trait it adds 1 to its movement distances and hit rolls during the Fight phase.
Prey-sight
Senses of the Outer Dark: When a model with this adaptation would lose a wound to Overwatch fire, roll a D6. On a 4+, that wound isn’t lost. In addition, models with this adaptation don't suffer penalties to their hit rolls as a result of special rules such as Night Fighting or Dawn Raid.
Shrewd Predators: Units with this adaptation can re-roll all charge rolls and hit rolls in melee if they charged an enemy unit that is outside of their line of sight.
Sporemist Spines: When enemies make a melee attack against a unit with this adaptation, subtract 1 from the hit roll.
Synaptic Augmentation: 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

Instead of giving a Warlord Trait to your Warlord, you can opt to select one unit from your army (that is not a unique character) and give them one of the following rules. One unit can only be chosen once.

Infantry:

-Abhorrent Pheromones: Units within 3" of this unit suffer a -2 to their Leadership characteristic.

-Adrenal Webs

-Dynamic Camouflage

-Enhanced Resistance

-Unnatural Reactions

Monster:

-Accelerated Digestion: At the end of the Fight phase, this model regains a number of previously lost wounds equal to the number of models it slew in melee that turn.

-Dermic Symbiosis

-Murderous Size

-Synaptic Enhancement

-Voracious ammunitions: At the end of the Shooting phase, all enemy units that lost at least a model to this unit's attack suffer D3 mortal wounds.

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 friendly Tyranids unit within 36" of the psyker that has the Instinctive Behaviour ability. Until the end of your next Psychic phase, that unit ignores its Instinctive Behaviour ability and automatically passes Morale tests.

2: Catalyst

Warp Charge: 6

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

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

3: Onslaught

Warp Charge: 6

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

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

4: Unstoppable

Warp Charge: 8

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

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

5: Fury

Warp Charge: 6

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

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

6: One Mind

Warp Charge: 7

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

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

Hivemind's Malice:

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 toughness test or suffer a -1 penalty to toughness, strength and attacks.

4: The Shadow Notices

Warp Charge: 7

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

5: Optical Overload

Warp Charge: 7

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

6: Stand and Die

Warp Charge: 8

Select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit can't benefit from cover, has to subtract 2 from all its hit rolls, can't fire overwatch and has to attack last in the fight phase.

Hivemind's Wrath:

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	-
Warp Orb	24"	Assault D6	8	-4	D3	-
Warp Lance	24"	Assault 1	10	-5	D6	You can reroll all wounds roll if you are attacking a Vehicle or a Building. Treat damage rolls of 1 or 2 made by this weapon as 3 instead.

Hive Fleet-Specific:

Behemoth- Unstoppable Hunger

Warp Charge: 7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Master Hive Tyrant: The Swarmlord is considered to have Hive Commander, Indescribable Horror, and Old Adversary.
Psychic Monstrosity: The Swarmlord may never suffer perils and may reroll any number of dices when attempting to cast or deny a psychic power.
Bullet Screening: Roll a dice each time this model loses a wound whilst any Termagant, Hormagaunt, Simurgh, or Gargoyle Brood is within 3" of this unit; on a 2+ a model from that unit can intercept that hit - the Hive Tyrant does not lose a wound but the unit suffers a mortal wound.
Suppress Instincts: At the beginning of your turn pick a friendly <Hive Fleet> Tyranids unit that would suffer from the Instinctive Behaviour rule; that unit ignores the effect of the rule until the beginning of your next turn.
Swarm Leader: At the beginning of your turn, pick one friendly <Hive Fleet> unit within 6" of the Swarmlord. The unit can either choose to re-roll every wound roll against Monsters or Vehicles, to re-roll every hit roll of 1, or to not suffer any penalties to the hit rolls for moving and shooting with Heavy weapons and Advancing and shooting with Assault weapons.
The Destroyer of Galaxies: The Swarmlord's leadership may never be negatively affected and moral tests made by enemy units within 18" are taken at a -2 leadership penalty.

Psyker:

The Swarmlord can attempt to manifest three 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 three psychic powers from any of the Hivemind's disciplines.

Warlord Trait: If this model is your Warlord, it has the Alien Cunning Warlord Trait.

Consume: During the Shooting phase a unit with at least three bases with this rule may opt to devour an organic terrain piece (forests, bushes, swamps, etc) it touches. If it chooses to do so, you may move models in the unit to any point wholly within that piece of terrain before removing it from the field. This counts as advancing for all intents and purposes.
Cortex Command: When attacking, a cortex leech swarm base may choose to forego its normal attacks to instead make a Cortex Command check. This is a single attack that if it hits, both players must roll an opposed leadership check with both players rolling a d6 and adding it to their respective models' leadership values. If the Cortex Leech's player succeeds, that model must make either a shooting or a melee attack against a target chosen by the Cortex Leech's player at its full value (I.E a model so controlled that assaults another unit must do so as if it had charged them). If an enemy unit in assault is wiped out by the cortex leech's unit, roll a d6; on a 3 or less nothing happens, but on a four or more the entire unit must charge or shoot a target of the Cortex Leech player's choosing, though after the turn the models are removed from play.

Crinis Brood

Fluff:

A horrid monstrosity tailor-made to assassinate, disrupt enemy formations, and destroy the precious equipment of its foes, the Crinis is named for the number of tendrils it possesses. Four long lash whip tendril arms, a maw ringed by yet more tentacles, and four flesh hooks that can burst from its chest, the Crinis is by all accounts an excessively horrid creature with remarkable regenerative abilities, bolstered by the fact that it is virtually a walking corrosives factory, producing acid in copious amounts to destroy equipment.

The creature is remarkably quick, built more like a Hive Tyrant than a Carnifex, and may be an offshoot of that genus. Its strategy seems to be to engage targets already occupied by other Tyranids to strike at the targets it wishes to or drop in unannounced to sow havoc before inevitably perishing. It is theorized that the creature's regenerative powers are born out of a need to regenerate appendages quickly if they are cut off while it grapples, which translated into a body-wide healing factor. Some seem to further this regenerative power with special biomorphs that make it even harder to force an injury to remain.

These creatures are understandably loathed by artificers and crafters the galaxy over for their wanton destruction of priceless artefacts, something which the Hive Mind seems to be keenly aware of, especially as many of these artefacts are very difficult to replace. These creatures even seem to enter a chemical high when they destroy what it is programmed to recognize as especially priceless relics such as Terminator or Artificer armour or master crafted weapons, meaning that even outside of synapse range they continue to hunt out items to destroy before messily devouring them.

Modelling notes

A Crinis should be represented with a Hive Tyrant base body with at least four tentacles to represent the lash whips, where you get these tentacles is up to you, but they should be decently long (See Toxicrene for inspiration). The head should come from a Lictor or similarly cthulhoid head, and it should have something to represent the Flesh Hooks. If the result looks like a Hentai monster you should be hiding your Sisters of Battle, Fire Warrioresses, Guardswomen, Slaaneshi Daemons, and Eldar (Dark or Craftworld) from, you've succeeded.

This unit contains 1 Crinis (Power Rating 8). It can contain 1 additional Crinis (Power Rating +8) or 2 additional Crinises (Power Rating +16).

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

From The Inside: Laius Horror always starts the game in reserves. If your army includes the Laius Horror, secretly write one enemy Infantry and non-Character model with 1 wound as a Host. If there is no such model, pick a 2 wounds Infantry and non-Character model. When the Host loses its last Wound, reveal the note to your opponent, replace the Host with the Laius Horror.

Simurgh Brood

Fluff:

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

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.

Flyer

Erinyes Brood

Fluff:

These terrifying beasts are tailor-made to deliver fast and lethal attacks against the enemies of the hive fleet as well as to confound the machinery of the enemies of the Tyranids with constant generation of electromagnetic energy that can foul even the hardiest and most sophisticated of machinery. With most of its enemies heavily dependent on technology, the Erinyes finds itself a feared opponent for enemy mechanized divisions and especially those foes who would entrust their defence to machinery. They are especially feared by the Mechanicus, the Iron Warriors, the Tau, and hated by Ork mekboyz for their ability to render the creations that they rely so much on nearly inoperable. Even non-mechanical foes, however, must beware as the Erinyes is a highly specialized and capable killer in close combat and can dive from the skies to immediately engage an opponent in a vicious melee that few enemies are likely to survive.

Modelling notes

If you're feeling lazy you could simply put a flying MUTO (from the 2014 Godzilla movie) toy on a base, if you're feeling a bit more up for hardcore converting, the model is meant to have a rather pronounced shield head (like said MUTOs) and the wings are more angular like the Harridan's than the more traditionally bat-like wings of the Harpy/Crone and Flyrant. It should be about in between the size of a Harridan and a Harpy. The tail is scythed so don't forget that. This is less of a shooty flying monstrous creature and more of a choppy one, so the melee biomorphs should be rather pronounced and it should have legs that look like they can function on land

This unit contains 1 Erinys (Power Rating 12). It can contain 1 additional Erinys (Power Rating +12) or 2 additional Erinyes (Power Rating +24).

Spore Mine Cysts (Acid Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ an Acid Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Acid Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time an Acid Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Acid Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Acid Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for an Acid Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.

Spore Mine Cysts (Char Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Char Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Char Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Char Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Char Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Char Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Char Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Add 1 to the roll when targeting units that can Fly. Enemies that can Fly suffer double the number of mortal wounds from this weapon.

Spore Mine Cysts (Frag Mine): A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Frag Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Frag Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Frag Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Frag Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Frag Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Frag Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:

Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Toxic Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Toxic Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Toxic Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Toxic Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed).

Dedicated Transport

Malefactor

Fluff:

A distinctive ground based transport organism for the Tyranid swarm, the malefactor is incredibly durable and is also well noted for its displeasing aesthetics. While not particularly dangerous in combat, it is capable of absorbing obscene damage.

Modeling notes

The malefactor isn't particularly hard to make, though if you have the old Armorcast minis; good for you! Be warned, some people will probably sooner gouge out their eyes than gaze upon the...erm...beauty of the malefactor for too long. A beauty so otherwordly that even the forces of Nurgle, Slaanesh, and the Haemonculi are driven to mass vomiting and find their eyes bursting into flames when they gaze upon the Malefactor's glory.

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

Dactylis

Fluff:

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

Modelling notes

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

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:

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

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 Template:W40kKeywordMonster 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:

Special Rules:

Biomass Transponder: If you have at least one functioning Capillary Tower on the board, each time one of your units with the Instinctive Behavior special rule destroys an enemy unit in close combat, give a Biomass Token to that unit. Units with a Biomass Token count friendly <Hive Fleet> Capillary Towers as Objective Markers which grants 3 Victory Points at the end of each of the controlling player's turns. Each time it grants Victory Points, remove one Biomass token from one of the units scoring the Capillary Tower.
