Tyrants ? Flying hive tyrants are 0-1, Tyrant Guard my only be taken by HT?s without wings. Bonesword/lashwhip combo is back, the bonesword grants a continuous Catalyst effect for the Tyrant and extents the range of the catalyst psychic power.

Tyrant Guard ? New weapon fit.

Broodlord ? Higher I stat than a standard ?stealer and a Nurgle like toughness, a tyrant like strength and a marine save. Has synapse and infiltrate (if he takes a retinue then infiltrate replaces fleet), Not a TMC.

Lictors - now has feeder tendrils biomorph, deepstrikes into a terrain piece and can assault straight away.

Warriors ? No new information currently, can be given wings and become a fast attack choice.

Hormagaunts ? Attack range reduced to 3? for leaping?


Gaunts ? Exclusively shooty, basic gaunt genus then add on weapons and biomorphs, under a certain points value they can be brought ?without number?.

Genestealers ? Loose infiltrate but gain fleet of claw. Possibly have access to three biomorphs ? Feeder tendrils, Acid maw and Scuttle (gives scout USR).

Rippers ? Lose most ranged weapon options (except for spinefists), limited number of biomorphs available.

Raveners ? Become ?Beasts? gain deepstrike and can have a optional thorax mounted ranged weapon in addition to their two standard HtH weapons (2 x talons or 1 x rending claws/scything talons), now slightly cheaper but statline remains the same.

Gargoyles ? No information but do gain from revision of instinctive behaviour chart (lurk means no more falling back into terrain and destroyed but towards nearest synapse creature)

Spore Mines ? New FA choice, 0-3 spore mines of the same type, deepstrike and when one detonates they all blow up.

Zoanthropes ? Limited information, ranges of certain powers extended (not warp blast).

Biovores ?
First of all all spore mines now use the blast template.
The strength & AP for the mines themselves has not changed.
Each Biovore fires as many spore mines as there as Biovores in that Brood (3 models max) - 0-1 heavy support choice.
If a spore mine makes contact with the enemy then that cluster of mines explodes. It's then treated as a normal barrage with the number of templates equal to the number of mines.
0-3 spore mines can also be purchased as a deepstriking fast attack choice..

Carnifex ? Has the most number of biomorphs available to it in the Tyranid army. Under a certain points value the ?fex becomes elite, a ?Screamer Killer? variant i.e the 2nd edition Carnifex comes under the points limit.
