Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Tyranid Hive Guard

Product Information

The Great Devourer. Star Children. The Tyranids have many names. In a galaxy of inhuman dangers, the Tyranids are truly an alien race encroaching from outside of the known galaxy. Their invasions up to this point have been incredibly devastating and many researchers posit (albeit out of earshot of leadership) that what they have experienced thus far are small scouting tendrils of an overwhelming large existential threat. The name Tyranid is derived from the first planet which they were officially encountered, Tyran, which they promptly devoured. The Leviathan Supplement builds on the core of a 6+ Damage Prevention Roll/Feel No Pain subfaction trait with a range of powerful Stratagems and Warlord Traits. Being able to run Warlord Traits that aren’t embarrassing is rather new to Tyranids players who’ve been used to giving theirs up for an Adaptation for over a year, and the new options don’t disappoint. With the release of Warzone: Octarius the Tyranids faction received a very real power boost. Notably it’s one that drives Tyranid lists away from the traditional Kraken + Kronos core by using the Hive Fleet Leviathan Supplement to provide power without doubling down on existing subfaction synergies. Leveraging the power of the supplement as well as the new Synaptic Links manages to feel similar to previous iterations of the codex’s greatest hits without being straight 1:1 upgrades. Here are a couple 1000pt lists created around some of the builds discussed above to give you an idea of what can be accomplished on what budget: Double-SC List

Finally we have the big bugs, and given how Toughness and Strength have expanded it seems like these have the potential to be a major part of any army. TR: 3 Tyranid Warrior [5PL, 75pts] 3 Lash Whip and Bonesword, 3 Pair of Scything Talon, Synaptic Link – Bioweapon BondTyranids have also not been blessed with a Faction-specific secondary objective, so be sure to consider your generic options when designing lists.Tyranids have great scoring options with fast Objective Secured units and the ability to move twice with Metabolic Overdrive and the Swarmlord’s ability. Leveraging these will win you just as many games as the extra “scoring options” that creatures made from lesser biomass have access to. Tyranid Warrior ( Shrike) • Ravener • Genestealer • Gaunt ( Termagant • Hormagaunt • Barbgaunt • Neurogaunt) • Ripper ( Sky-Slasher) The bees will dispose of the dead intruders through the HiveGate™ at their convenience. You will find the dead intruders outside the hive in the morning. If an intruder enters and proceeds towards the end of the HiveGate™, it reaches the internal entry to the hive. This internal entry should be positioned directly under the bee cluster, the largest concentration of bees in the hive. This is the KEY to why HiveGate™ is successful against robbing.
