May take a Tyrannocyte as a Dedicated Transport.
Brood Progenitor: All friendly Termagant units within synapse range of the Tervigon can use the Tervigon's Leadership for
any tests they are required to make, and they have the Counter-attack special rule.
Brood Spawning: At the end of your Movement Phase, a Tervigon can spawn a unit of Termagants, even if it is locked in
close combat. If it does so, roll 3D6 - this is the number of models spawned. Place the new unit of Termagants on the table so
that it is completely within 6 of the Tervigon. Models in this new unit cannot be placed in impassable terrain or within 1 of
enemy models. If you cannot place some of the models due to the restrictions above or because you have run out of models
Termagant models, the excess is discarded.
The spawned unit cannot move during the Movement phase in which it is spawned, nor can it charge this turn, but is free to
shoot or Run as normal. A unit spawned by a Tervigon is identical in every way to a Termagant unit chosen from the Troops
selection of the army list, is counted as part of the Tervigon's formation and detachment, and is treated as such for all mission
special rules. Models in a spawned unit are armed with Fleshborers and may not purchase options.
If any double is rolled when determining the size of a spawned unit, the Tervigon has temporarily exhausted its supply of
larvae the Termagant unit is created as normal, but the Tervigon cannot spawn any further units for the rest of the game.
Synaptic Backlash: If a Tervigon is slain, before removing the model as a casualty, each friendly unit of Termagants within
synapse range of the Tervigon immediately suffers a number of Strength 3 AP - hits equal to the number of models in the
unit. Cover saves may not be taken against these hits and Wounds are allocated as per shooting, with the Tervigon as the firer.
After all Termagant casualties have been resolved (if any), remove the Tervigon from play.
Spawn Hormagaunts: A Tervigon with this option replaces all instances of Termagant in its Brood Progenitor, Brood
Spawning, and Synaptic Backlash special rules with Hormagaunt. Hormagaunts spawned from Brood Spawning are armed
with a pair of Scything Talons (not Fleshborers) and may not purchase options.

Snake Body: A model with this special rule automatically passes Dangerous Terrain tests and never suffers the
Initiative penalty when charging through difficult terrain.
Subterranean Assault: If, when a model with this special rule deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of
impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to
avoid the obstacle.
After the model with this special rule has emerged, mark the position under the creature's base with a suitable
marker this represents the tunnel left by its emergence. Any friendly Infantry unit with the Tyranids faction
that arrives from reserves in during this turn or any subsequent turns may emerge from the tunnel instead of
arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are completely within 6 of the center of
the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1 of enemy models or within
impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties. A unit may
not move or charge on the same turn it arrives from a the tunnel, but may shoot or Run.

Host Organism: Friendly Ripper Swarms and Sky-slasher Swarms treat the Parasite of Mortrex as having a
synapse range of 24.
Implant Parasites: In close combat, each model that is removed as a casualty from Wounds caused by the
Parasite of Mortrex must roll a Toughness test before being removed from play. For each test failed, roll a D3. At
the end of the Assault phase, place a number of Ripper Swarm bases equal to the cumulative result of these D3s
completely within 6 of the Parasite of Mortrex and in unit coherency. These bases cannot be placed within 1 of
enemy models or within impassable terrain; if any bases cannot be placed or you have run out of Ripper Swarm
bases, these excess bases are lost. These act as a new Ripper Swarm Brood for the remainder of the game and do
not award Victory Points when slain.
The Sarge is Acting Strangely!: Any enemy Infantry, Cavalry, Beasts, or Bike unit, with or without Jet or
Jump type, that arrives via Outflanking may harbor a squad member infested with Ripper parasites. At the end
of their Movement phase in which they arrived from Outflank, one random model in each of these units must
take a Toughness test. If the test is failed that model is instantly removed as a casualty and you roll a D6. Then
place a number of Ripper Swarm bases equal to the result of the D6 completely within 6 of the slain models unit
and in unit coherency. These bases cannot be placed within 1 of enemy models or within impassable terrain; if
any bases cannot be placed or you have run out of Ripper Swarm bases, these excess bases are lost. If the victim
was inside a transport vehicle, it is assumed that he staggered out before dying. These act as a Ripper Swarm

Floating Death: Spore Mines move 3 in the Movement phase and, when they Run or charge, move half the
distance rolled. Spore Mines are never slowed by difficult terrain, but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as
normal.
Spore Mines do not attack in close combat. Instead, at the Initiative 10 step, the entire cluster detonates! To
resolve this, center the large blast marker over any one of the unit's Spore Mines. Every other unit (friend and
foe) under the blast marker suffer a number of hits equal to the number of its models under the blast marker.
The Strength of these hits is equal to 4, but is increased by 1 for each additional Spore Mine in the detonating
cluster (to a maximum of Strength 10). These hits are resolved at AP 4 and ignore cover saves. Once all hits have
been resolved, remove all models in the Spore Mine Cluster as casualties.
Living Bomb: Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when
destroyed, and Wound suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death
detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.

Drifting Death: Tyrannocytes cannot Run or charge. They can consolidate but may not make a Sweeping

Instinctive Fire: Each weapon on this model automatically fires at the nearest enemy unit within range and
line of sight. Treat these weapons as if they were hull-mounted weapons on a vehicle for the purposes of line of
sight. The shots are resolved at the end of the Shooting phase before Morale checks are taken.
Each weapon can fire at a different target unit, but they cannot be fired in any other way or at any other time.
Transport Spore: A Tyrannocyte does not use up a slot on the Force Organization Slot and it counts as part of
the formation and detachment of any unit purchasing it as a Dedicated Transport. It can carry a single unit with
the Tyranids faction (excluding other Tyrannocytes) and has a Transport Capacity of 20 Monstrous Creatures
with 5 or fewer Wounds count as 10 models, and Monstrous Creatures with 6 or more Wounds count as 20
models for the purposes of Transport Capacity. Declare which unit is being carried during deployment.
A Tyrannocyte always enters play using the Deep Strike rules. If, when a Tyrannocyte Deep Strikes, it scatters on
top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required
to avid the obstacle.
Once a Tyrannocyte Deep Strikes, a unit carried by it must disembark. Place the unit such that every model is
wholly within 12 of the Tyrannocyte and non are within 1 of an enemy or within impassable terrain. Any model
that cannot be placed is removed as a casualty. A unit cannot move or charge in the same turn it disembarks, but

Immobile Pod: A model with this special rule cannot move under any circumstance. It can never go to ground

Instinctive Fire: Each weapon on this model automatically fires at the nearest enemy unit within range and
line of sight. Treat these weapons as if they were hull-mounted weapons on a vehicle for the purposes of line of
sight. The shots are resolved at the end of the Shooting phase before Morale checks are taken.
Each weapon can fire at a different target unit, but they cannot be fired in any other way or at any other time.
Psychic Resonator: And friendly Synapse Creature within 6 of this model adds 6 to its synapse range.
Spore Node: A model with this special rule can produce a Spore Mine Cluster with three Spore Mines in the
Shooting phase, in addition to any attacks it makes. Place the Spore Mines wholly within 6 of the model, in unit
coherency, and not in impassable terrain or within 1 of an enemy model. After they are placed, the Spore Mines
are treated as a separate unit for the rest of the battle and count as being a part of the formation and detachment
of its parent Sporocyst.
Once per battle, a Sporocyst can produce a single Mucolid Spore instead of a Spore Mine Cluster. This is placed

Subterranean Assault: If, when a model with this special rule deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of

avoid the obstacle.
After the model with this special rule has emerged, mark the position under the creature's base with a suitable

that arrives from reserves in during this turn or any subsequent turns may emerge from the tunnel instead of
arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are completely within 6 of the center of
the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1 of enemy models or within
impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties. A unit may

Burrow: An unengaged Mawloc can, at any point during its Movement phases from the second game turn
onwards, elect to Burrow. If it does so, remove it from the table and place it into Ongoing Reserves. A Mawloc
cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.
Terror from the Deep: When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Mawloc can choose to Deep Strike onto a
point occupied by another model (friend or foe) roll for scatter as normal. If a Mawloc Deep Strikes onto a
point occupied by another model, do not roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table. Instead, place the large blast
marker directly over the spot the Mawloc is deep striking onto. All units except Zooming Flyers and Swooping
Flying Monstrous Creatures, beneath the blast marker suffer a number of Strength 6 AP2 hits with the Ignores
Cover special rule equal to the number of models that unit has underneath the blast marker. For Wound
allocation purposes, assume the attack is coming from the center of the blast marker. Hits against vehicles are
resolved against their rear armor.
If, after removing casualties, it is now possible to place the Mawloc on the table n the spot where the blast marker
landed, then do so, even if this is within 1 of another model (but not if it would be in base contact with, or
occupying the same space as, another model). If it is not possible to place the Mawloc, replace the large blast
marker on the spot and resolve another round of damage as detailed above. If, after removing casualties for a
second time, it is still not possible to place the Mawloc, roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table.

the range of friendly units with the Synapse Creature special
rule must take a Leadership test unless they are: engaged in
combat, falling back,have gone to ground, or arrived from
reserve this turn. If they pass, they act normally. If not, roll
on the appropriate Instinctive Behavior table (opposite). The
result lasts until the beginning of your next turn, unless
otherwise specified.

Designers Note: Tyranid Melee weapons come as pairs. For game purposes, each pair is treated as a single
Melee weapon. This means that Tyranid models must fight with two pairs of any Tyranid Melee weapons to
gain a bonus Attack in close combat for fighting with two weapons. For example, a Hormagaunt armed with a
single pair of Scything Talons does not gain a bonus Attack, but a Ravener with two pairs of Scything Talons,
or a Genestealer with a pair of Rending Claws and a pair of Scything Talons, does.
