Cannon Fodder: While Gaunts are theonly Troop choice available to Tyranid

armies, Gaunts never count as scoring

units. The purpose of these creatures is

to advance at the head of the Tyranid

army in waves, forcing the enemy toexpend their ammunition needlessly or

be crushed by sheer numbers.

TYRANID WARRIOR BROOD

Hive Status

Synapse Creature

Special RulesLeader-beasts: Tyranid Warriors may be taken as both HQ and Elite choices. In

addition, a Tyranid armys scoring units are its Tyranid Warrior broods, regardless of

what slot they take up in the force organization chart, instead of its Troops, unless statedotherwise.

THE HIVE MIND

Each Tyranid brood is organized into a Hive Status. There are four Hive Statuses, and

the following special rules always affect all Tyranid broods according to their Hive

Status:

Instinctive Behavior

At the beginning of the movement phase, all broods with the Instinctive Behavior Hive

Status must take a Moral test.

Each brood that passes its Moral test gains the universal special rule Rage for the rest ofthat turn.

Each brood that fails must immediately go to ground.

Any brood with the Instinctive Behavior Hive Status will always fall back towards the

nearest Synapse creature. If there are no such creatures on the board they will fall backtowards the nearest table edge.

Creatures with the Instinctive Behavior Hive Status that are also Fearless simplyautomatically pass the Moral test that they are required to take each turn, meaning that

they will always be under the effect of the universal special rule Rage.

Synapse Creature

Broods with a model with the Synapse Creature Hive Status always have the Synapse

Creature psychic power. Each Synapse Creature has what is referred to as synapserange, which is designated in the creatures profile. Synapse range will affect any brood

that has at least one model within range. A Synapse Creature always counts as being

within synapse range.

Any brood within synapse range is not subject to the rules for Instinctive Behavior. The

brood may choose to pass or fail any Moral check they are called upon to make so long as

it is still within synapse range.


4/6

Any brood within synapse range does not provide cover to enemy units if another brood

within synapse range is shooting through them.

If a brood within synapse range is locked in close combat then all models in the brood

will strike back in close combat even if they are killed before their turn to attack inInitiative order that turn. The dead models are removed once they have made their

attacks.

OTHER TYRANID SPECIAL RULES

All Tyranids have the universal special rules Fleet, Move Through Cover and Acute

Senses

BIOMORPH ENHANCEMENTS

Biomorph enhancements are bioengineered enhancements that are grown into Tyranidcreatures. They enhance the creatures in combat without inhibiting their ability to carry

or use other weapon-symbiotes. The same weapon symbiote cannot be taken more thanonce on any Tyranid creature unless stated otherwise under that creatures profile.

All Tyranid creatures in a brood must take the same biomorphs from the choices

available to them:

Adrenal glands.Adrenal glands are utilized by many Tyranid organisms throughout the

Hive Fleets. The glands are themselves symbiotic organisms that are linked through

enhanced synaptic networks to the Hive Mind itself. In preparation for combat, the

Hive Mind instantly analyzes the enemy that it will be facing and determine how bestto combat the foe. The adrenal glands release a chemical soup of endorphins and

enzymes into the host creatures, improving the combat abilities of each of the Hive

Mind minions as it deems best.

At the start of the game, each brood in which every model has been equipped with

adrenal glands (for X points) gains one of the following benefits of the players choice:

+1 Strength

+1 Weapon Skill

+1 Initiative

+1 Ballistic Skill

+1 Attack

The enhancements from adrenal glands are not modifiers; rather they replace the basic

stat line in the creatures profile. If the game lasts longer than six turns, then the benefitsof adrenal glands are lost for the rest of the game, and the creatures stat line returns to

normal. For adrenal glands, there are typically two costs listed (X points/Y points), and

paying the second cost allows two benefits to be chosen (for Y points). The same benefitmay not be chosen twice.


5/6


6/6

Without Number.

Any brood without number that is removed from play may be brought back into play at

the beginning of the next Tyranid turn. It moves onto the board from the Tyranidplayers board edge and has exactly the same profile and armaments as its predecessor. If

applicable, Kill Points are scored as usual for the brood and its replacements as if they

were entirely separate broods.

If a brood without number has the Scuttlers biomorph, then it may move onto the board

by Outflanking, rather than from the Tyranid players board edge as normal.
