====Erinyes Brood====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
'''Fluff:'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">These terrifying beasts are tailor-made to deliver fast and lethal attacks against the enemies of the hive fleet as well as to confound the machinery of the enemies of the Tyranids with constant generation of electromagnetic energy that can foul even the hardiest and most sophisticated of machinery.  With most of its enemies heavily dependent on technology, the Erinyes finds itself a feared opponent for enemy mechanized divisions and especially those foes who would entrust their defence to machinery.  They are especially feared by the Mechanicus, the Iron Warriors, the Tau, and hated by Ork mekboyz for their ability to render the creations that they rely so much on nearly inoperable.  Even non-mechanical foes, however, must beware as the Erinyes is a highly specialized and capable killer in close combat and can dive from the skies to immediately engage an opponent in a vicious melee that few enemies are likely to survive.  </div>

'''Modelling notes:'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">If you're feeling lazy you could simply put a flying MUTO (from the 2014 Godzilla movie) toy on a base, if you're feeling a bit more up for hardcore converting, the model is meant to have a rather pronounced shield head (like said MUTOs) and the wings are more angular like the Harridan's than the more traditionally bat-like wings of the Harpy/Crone and Flyrant.  It should be about in between the size of a Harridan and a Harpy.   The tail is scythed so don't forget that.  This is  less of a shooty flying monstrous creature and more of a choppy one, so the melee biomorphs should be rather pronounced and it should have legs that look like they can function on land </div>
</div>
This unit contains 1 Erinys ('''Power Rating 12'''). It can contain 1 additional Erinys ('''Power Rating +12''') or 2 additional Erinyes ('''Power Rating +24''').

'''Biomorphs:'''
*Scything Wings
*Stinger Salvo
*Two Stranglethorn Cannons

'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Death Throes'''
*'''Monstrous Brood'''
*'''Instinctive Behaviour'''
*'''Sonic Screech'''
*'''Spore Mine Cysts (Acid Mine):''' A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ an Acid Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Acid Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time an Acid Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Acid Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Acid Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for an Acid Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.

*'''Spore Mine Cysts (Char Mine):''' A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Char Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Char Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Char Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Char Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Char Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Char Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Add 1 to the roll when targeting units that can {{W40kKeyword|Fly}}. Enemies that can {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} suffer double the number of mortal wounds from this weapon.

*'''Spore Mine Cysts (Frag Mine):''' A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Frag Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Frag Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Frag Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Frag Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Frag Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Frag Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:

*'''Spore Mine Cysts (Toxic Mine):''' A Harpy can drop Spore Mines as it flies over enemy units in the Movement phase. To do so, after the Harpy has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, up to a maximum of 3 dice. Each time you roll a 4+ a Toxic Mine has hit the target and explodes. Roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted; on a 1 the Toxic Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Toxic Mine misses its target, set up a single <HIVE FLEET> Toxic Mine anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Toxic Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Toxic Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Toxic Mine:
::{| class=wikitable
