Instictive Behavior
Each Tyranid unit not in range of a Synapse creature has to pass a morale check or falls back to
instinctive behaviour. Melee-creatures move as fast as possible to the next enemy, while shooting
creatures go for the next cover and shoot at the nearest enemies. What they do is said in their entries.

Bio-Weapons
Weapon symbionts are no longer modified by the creature that wields it. There are heavy variants of
most of them for the bigger creatures.

Venom Cannon: 3" blast now. They suffer a additional -1 penalty against vehicles. So, a glancing hit is
- 3, a penetration - 1. So vehicles can now be wrecked with this weapon.

Heavy Venom Canon: S:9, same as above.

Scything Talons: One pair of tham grants rerolls on all 1's rolled to hit. Two pairs allow you to reroll
all failed to hits.

Bonesword: Causes instant death, if the target fails a morale check after suffering a wound. If you bear
two pairs, the morale check is made on 3d6.

Tentacle Whip: Reduce the initiative of all models attacking the user to 1.

Crushing Claws: D3 additional attacks.

Biomorphs
These grant USRs.
Examples: Toxic Glands grant poisoned attacks (4+). Adrenalin Glands grant furious charge. An
Injector grants Instant Death on each to wound roll of 6. There are many more.

Named HQs: A special Hive Tyrant, A parasite-spreading winged horror.

Hive Tyrant: Initiative 6, WS:8. Starts of with a pair of Scything talons, a Tentacle whip and a
Bonesword. May be given wings or heavy carapace (2+ armour save). May be given a Tyrant guard.

Hive Tyrant variant called the Swarmlord. Armed with 4 Boneswords (see rules above), and loaded up
with special rules but costs more than a Land Raider.

May chose from 4 different psychic powers:

-Mental Scream: All enemy units within 18 " have to pass a morale check. if they fail it, they suffer the
difference between the roll and their morale characteristic as casulties with no armour saves allowed.
-Lifeleech: One unit within 12 " suffers D3 S:3 AP:2 hits. For each casualty they suffer, the Hive
Tyrant gains one wound, up to a maximum of 10.
-Power 3: Forces a unit to pass a morale check or to fall back.
-Power 4: A shooting attack.

Tyrant may be given special abilities, such as the bility to grant another unit outflank and +1 to reserve
rolls.

victims he kills in assault.

STATLINE: WS:2 BS:2. T:5-6 W:3 A:3 S:6.

Weapon: 6" S:6 Assault 6.
zoantrope is cheaper than current one with synapse and warpblast. warpfield now is a 3+ invul and can
only be taken by the zoantrope (both hierophants and malantropes now laugh their ass off because they
have it in their stats ).
warp blast is like the old one but needs a psychic test (whose idea was that? s5 ap3 small blast THAT
powerfull? whatever...)
the focused one is s10 ap1 lance
trope has bs4!

allmost all tyranids which do not deepstrike by themselfes can be given biological droppods which
work exactly like SM ones (but dont have half of them come in turn 1) for only a bit more than SM
ones cost.

dakka is not gone. devourer is a s4 assoult 3 gun on small bugs but s6 assoult 6 on tyrants and carnifex
(by an ammonition upgrade which comes automatically on big bugs). you can take two sets. both
dakktyrant and dakkafex will end at about 200 points per!

sniper is gone because you can only take one set of 'heavy' weapon per big bug.

boneswords are power weapons and can be taken on all warrior-strain creatures (warrior, winged
warrior, tyrant guard, tyrant). they can cause instant death. a pair of them costs only 10points on
warriors.

for each tyrant you can buy a unit of 1-3 guards as a free-hq (60pts each). tyrants can join tyrant guard
as if they were IC.

tyrants start at 170 points with either twin scytings or scytings and bonesword/lashwhip. they have 2
out of 4 pwoers for free (each of them would be easily worth the 2*25=50 points he costs more now if
you could choose if you want them. as a forced buy they make the tyrant somewhat expensive).

powers are as mentioned above. the 4th power is automatically one unit in 18" sets bs&ws to 1 until the
start of the next tyranid player's turn.

tyrants can buy as many as they choose of the following abilities:

+1 to reserve as long as the tyrant is alive
prefered enemy to every brood with models witihn 6"
didnt remember thirt

you can byu either wings, 2+ save or a potent shooting weapon as a carapax biomorph.

mixed stuff:
toxotroph is t4 w2 5+ armor, comes in broods of 1-3.
his cloud gives every unit with models within 6" 5+ cover (inculding himself), defensive grenades and
everyone assoulting them has to test for DANGEROUS terrain.
would have been a blessing for old nidzilla sniper fexes but now is quite useless.

bad stuff:
pyrovore is useless. t4 2w 4+ armor, a heavy flamer with no hellhound range. possibly of use as a
brood of 3 in a droppod but frail (I'd rather have 4 bonesword warriors than 3 heavy flamers...).

hiveguard has a 4+ save. he looks like a hiveguard but apprently the heavy chitin armor is only decoy

synapse doesnt help against instant death.

there is a bug in fast assoult. mosntrous creature 160points 4w t5 4+ armor which can fly (big
gargoyle)... lets chorus: "catch the heavy bolter shell!"

warriors 3 wounds
swarmlord is 280 points and will destroy every modell that exists in normal 40k in close combat.

calgar, abbadon, the nightbringer, name it and the swarmlord can kill it.

just the most important values: ws9, 4+ invul in cc, all attacks cause instant death. invul saves against
him have to be rerolled.

he also canc ast two psychic powers so the 110 points premium over a normal tyrant are not only for
close combat. if he is worth it... well is calgar worth it? or abbadon?... what the swarmlord cannot do is
ride inside a raider so maybe not.
