The Dimachaeron is a murder machine. That's it. It has 5 attacks base (6 because it has two melee weapons) is WS 8, strength 6 and initiative 6 and come equipped with Adrenal Glands and Rampage to make it even more frightening. Then there are its special rules and equipment: it is a leap monstrous creature and can choose to leap in the movement phase or in assault (The first works like jump infantry, but with only 6" range, the second gives him +1S HoW with Strikedown) and it has two close combat weapons. The [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Grasping Talons|grasping talons]] are S+1 AP2 Talons that, when it rolls one or more 6 to-hit, gives an attack on an unwieldy S+4 AP1 ID claw that can kill anything smaller than Extremely Bulky, while the [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Sickle Claws|Sickle Claws]] are an AP2 pair of claws with 4+ ID, for when you really want to kill that Bloodthirster. Furthermore, if you chose to use its grasping talons and kill one model with the [[Thorax Swarm|thorax spine-maw]] it gains a number of plasm tokens equal to the model's wounds and that goes away starting from the end of the following turn. Until it runs out of tokens, it has the FNP (4+) special rule, meaning it can be a terrifying [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]]!

Keep in mind that it has instinctive behaviour (Feed), but that shouldn't be that big of a problem given that it's LD 10. It also isn't fast, even being a fast attack attack choice, and will attract a lot of fire for its ability to obliterate everything it bumps into short of a few special characters, so consider embarking it in a Tyrannocite and dropping it in the midst of the enemy army. It is a risky tactic, but your opponent will be quite hard pressed and will have to choose if he wants to concentrate fire and obliterate it immediately, letting the rest of your horde close on him, or let it live and see his army ripped into pieces the very next turn.
