[14b], The Tyranids do not communicate with the other races of the galaxy. [4] Once a suitable world has been detected, these bio-vessels spawn infiltrator-organisms, such as Lictors, Genestealers, or specialized Gaunt strains, and launch them onto the world via Mycetic Spores. Tyranids care nothing for self-preservation, and will fight on. There can be no hope of mercy from such a foe. WebBio-titan Warp Field: This model has a 5+ invulnerable save. As a result, a significant goal of any Tyranid invasion is acquisition of useful new biological traits from other lifeforms. Select one. The Hive Mind has marked those prey organisms whose swift destruction it wishes prioritised.

Employing their sheer bulk and vicious chitinous horns and spikes, the largest Tyranids crash headlong through the foe, often with devastating results. However, the Narvhal's manipulation of a star system's gravity does sometimes produce unintended side effects. The Imperium's first official contact with the Tyranid race was in 741.M41, when the Hive Fleet later known as Behemoth invaded the Eastern Fringe and annihilated planet Tyran. The Tyranid genetic taint extends to the microbial level, and all of these xenos bioforms are strongly resistant to biological and chemical toxins. At last, with a wet ripping sound and a vomitous gush of fluids, an entire brood of parasitic Rippers spills forth to squirm their way into battle. From the smallest feeder organisms, to the microbes that decompose new biomass; from the sessile and rooted flora-like forms, to the huge tendril-like shoals of the hive fleets, every Tyranid organism has a place within the will of the Hive Mind. Units with this adaptation can ignore any or all modifiers to their Move characteristic, Advance rolls and charge rolls. The air around the warlord churns with microscopic spores that invade the bodies of its foes, devouring them from the inside. Each time this model makes a Heroic Intervention move, it can move up to 6". Unsuspecting victims see nothing but a blur of thick leathery wings and a swift and dreadful sting, before the attacker is gone again. WebUse this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a HIVE TENDRIL CHARACTER model from your army that has not already been selected to fight this phase is destroyed, instead of using any rules that are triggered when that model is destroyed (e.g. Lictors are masters of unseen reconnaissance. We have also added a suite of Raw grey matter gains rudimentary synaptic sentience and sprouts microscopic chitinous talons and fangs before attempting to chew its way out of its cranial prison. Upon arrival to the planet, the Hive Fleet will disperse within the planet's upper atmosphere and begin launching millions upon millions of Mycetic Spores. WebWahapedia: War Zone Nephilim: Grand Tournament. This houses the brain of the weapon-symbiote, a semi-sentient organism linked with the bearer.

Hive Fleet Leviathan shares the strongest synaptic link with the Hive Mind, and can call upon the experiences of any other Tyranid leader-beast. We suggest that an imaginary straight line should be drawn from each point on this model which would If a unit attacks with multiple weapons, all attacks made with weapons that have the same profile must be resolved before resolving attacks with the next. Eel-like Rippers swarm through the oceans in massive swarms devouring all of the native sealife. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the bearers Attacks characteristic. For every 3 models in this unit, 1 model's devourer can be replaced with 1 venom cannon. Usually Synapse Creatures are fielded in relatively large numbers to allow a rapid advance of the lesser creatures to remain in range of a synapse creature. Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models. When roused, this arrangement pumps its potent bio-stimulant through the host organisms body, driving the creature to new heights of speed and ferocity. Cannot move within Engagement Range of any enemy models. These are species that the Magos Biologis believe may be species that evolved from Tyranid that were left behind from failed Tyranid invasions. The Tyranids were defeated, barely, by the efforts of the Ultramarines Chapter of the Space Marines during the Battle of Macragge, although the Ultramarines suffered devastating losses that would take centuries to replace. The Hive Mind exploits the neurally cached experiences of its warrior organisms to hone their predatory instincts. Embedded within this organisms body is a pulsating sac of membranous flesh and nutrient bio-slurry. First documented during the fall of the cardinal world of Kharis, this chitin-shelled organism embeds itself deep into the thorax of its host and emits a droning psionic note, that rises to an unbearable keening howl in the minds of those nearest. For organisms that can soar on high or burrow, it is no hardship to fade back during battle and stalk their prey before striking again. Select one, Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a, Leviathan (Supplement) Epic Deed Stratagem, Use this Stratagem before the battle, during the Declare Reserves and Transports step (if you are playing a mission without this step, use this Stratagem during deployment instead).

Each time the bearer destroys an enemy unit as the result of a melee attack, until the end of the battle, add 1 to the bearers Attacks characteristic (to a maximum of +3). This biohorrors chitinous carapace is thickened by expendable, brittle outer layers designed to absorb the impact of small arms fire as they shatter and flake away. A model makes attacks using the close combat weapon profile if it has no other melee weapons. Within the crowning carapace of this creature are pulsing bundles of nerves, their tendrils driven irreversibly into the beasts cortex. Do not remove that model from play - it can fight after the attacking models unit has finished So single-minded is the aggression with which the beasts of Hive Fleet Behemoth fight that even death does not immediately halt their brutal rampage.

This warlords foresight allows it to see the preys next move. Hive Crone. WebMany datasheets in this section have the < H IVE FLEET> keyword. Upon contact with the target, this sentient substance begins to contract; its contra-empathic surface identifying and adapting to any defences it encounters, flaring white-hot to burn through kinetic shielding, or sharpening to a monomolecular edge to slice through even the thickest power armour. At first, the threat posed by the swarms of Hive Fleet Hydra appears deceptively manageable, albeit still nightmarishly dangerous. On admittedly rare occasions, a fleet facing unexpectedly stiff resistance may break off the assault and retreat to attack an alternative target. These creatures live in a highly symbiotic fashion, fusing into each other's flesh so that it is often impossible to say where one Tyranid creature ends, and another begins. The Toxicrenes mass of tendrils whip and coil about its victim, ensnaring them and drawing them into its lethal embrace. All of these creatures are born to serve the single entity that is the Hive Ship, and the ship itself exists only as part of the entity that is the hive fleet. Their purpose is to advance ahead of a Hive Fleet and pinpoint potential planets for the Tyranids to devour.

While the towers may appear to be a Tyranid plant analogue, they are no less aggressive than the more mobile bioforms. Living, floating mines that explode if any non-Tyranid lifeform gets too close. However, the truth is more complex, for each hive fleet is but a splinter of one greater assemblage. This ongoing corruption of the galaxy spells potential disaster for the Hive Mind. Thus with the right terraforming technology and time, it is possible for worlds consumed by the Tyranids to return to life. When selecting a unit within Synaptic Link range of a, Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a, Use this Stratagem before the battle, during the Declare Reserves and Transports step (if you are playing a mission without this step, use this Stratagem during deployment instead). Just as it seemed the defences of the Segmentum Solar and perhaps Terra itself would be tested, the Tyranids were distracted by being deflected into the star system of the powerful Ork Empire of Octarius in the Octarius Sector of the Segmentum Ultima. Should one leader-beast be slain, the Hive Mind will simply subsume the mind of another chosen vessel. the Death Throes ability). This relationship is most obvious in the larger constructs, whose repurposed anatomies still retain recognizable biological shapes. This chitinous second skin swiftly adapts to all kinds of enemy attacks, rendering them useless and protecting the warrior-organism it envelops from harm. Each time a model with this adaptation makes a consolidation move, it can move up to an additional 3" (to a maximum of 9"). Contained deep within this organisms body is a pulsating sac filled with a cocktail of adrenostimulant fluids and linked to a ring of vascular-pneumatic sphincters. The synapse creature reaches out with its mind and seizes control of the lesser creatures weapon symbiotes, guiding their fire whilst simultaneously driving the swarms toward the enemy at a breakneck pace. If it does so, until the end of the phase, add D3 to this WARLORDs Attacks characteristic. Once the bioelectric-wreathed projectiles punch deep into their targets, their parasitic mouths begin chewing frenziedly, devouring the victim from the inside out. Once this hive fleets warrior organisms outnumber their prey, they soon overwhelm them in a hideous, heaving mass. The Crone provides some decent mid-range anti-infantry shooting and is a special threat to models with FLY, hitting at 2+ and able to assault across the board. The synaptic control exerted by Leviathan leader-beasts is so absolute that lesser beings can sometimes act at the behest of several consciousnesses. The most frequently encountered Tyranid species are the:[14c]. If the hive fleet is victorious, the fleet will descend to the planet, inhaling the atmosphere, drinking the seas, and basically consuming all organic biomass until nothing more than a lifeless ball of rock remains. What they lack in subtlety and cunning, however, they more than make up for indomitable resilience and overwhelming ferocity. WebHarpy. The hunger of the Tyranids can never be satiated. The Tyranids seem able to achieve Faster-than-light travel through an organism known as a Narvhal, which is able to harness a targeted systems gravity and propel its accompanying Hive Fleet's Bio-Ships to its destination. The hive fleet will also seed the planet with numerous Tyranid organisms, which will begin to biologically alter the planet's climate, surface and ecosystems to make it easier to consume. Infesting its hosts body, this gestalt organism comprises millions of microscopic spore-worms that exude caustic chemicals when they detect non-Tyranid biological surroundings. So sharp were these monomolecular-edged weapon-growths that several Skitarii defenders were bisected with the alpha-beasts every frenzied swipe. Each time a unit gains a Battle Honour, increase its Crusade points by: 1 if unit has a Power Rating of 10 or less.

Exocrine. Eliminating the Hive Ship would not avert the damage done. Long-range firepower specialist organism. Lictors release a trail of potent pheromones that guide fresh waves of bioforms to the slaughter. By shedding clouds of microscopic nodules and allowing them to take root in the bedrock of the prey world, Tyranids sow bitter crops of spore organisms that will later erupt and corrupt enemy territory. Leader organisms have been observed to exchange behaviour patterns, predatory specialisms and even psyker-analogous abilities from one conflict to the next. Larger, more complicated, Tyranid bioforms have been grown to make limited decisions appropriate to current stimuli and situations, but even these actions are subordinate to the goals of the Hive Mind. This biohorrors carapace is actually a symbiotic organism, capable of psychically repelling the fiercest attacks and boosting the metabolism of its host creature. Further Warp Storms followed, rippling across the galaxy, spilling the raw matter of Chaos into the material realm in ever-increasing quantities. While less effective, destroying Mycetic Spores as they fall to the planet may also help the cause.

Named by survivors of the Orochon II Massacre, this graft-organism clings to its hosts dorsal chitin and sinks fleshy tubules deep into its body. Given that each of the different Tyranid hive fleets has approached the Milky Way from a different direction, this may imply that the Tyranids have consumed a disturbingly large number of nearby galaxies. In game terms they are no longer part of Tyranid armies. Until the start of your next Psychic phase: The Hive Mind debilitates its enemies by triggering every nerve and pain receptor in their bodies, overwhelming their senses with wracking fits of agony.

Model equipped with bonesword or monstrous bonesword only. Through this abhorrent union, the Hive Minds indomitable will can pour forth to augment and control the hordes of lesser Tyranids that scuttle in the leader-beasts wake. The Tyranid species is ultimately dedicated solely to its own survival, propagation and evolutionary advancement. The defenders, often underestimating the Tyranids' intelligence, make fighting retreats to buy themselves time to regroup from the onslaught, only to be encircled and destroyed as it becomes apparent they were merely herded into prepared killing grounds. Each time an attack is made with this weapon, that attack automatically hits the target. New Rippers are continuously created to propagate the cycle of gluttony. Over time, this can have an effect on the planet's atmosphere and climate as plant life is unable to synthesise oxygen. Within the Tyranid swarm there is no idea of individualism as each unit is linked to the next in a form of swarm consciousness.
