''A distinctive ground-based transport organism for the Tyranid swarm, the Malefactor is incredibly durable and is also well noted for its displeasing aesthetics.  While not particularly dangerous in combat, it is capable of absorbing obscene damage.''</div>

'''Special Rules:'''
<tabs>
<tab name="Death Throes">
If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a dice before removing the model from the battlefield; on a 6, it lashes out in its death throes, and each unit within 3" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
</tab>
<tab name="Instinctive Behaviour">
See Army Rules - Universal
</tab>
<tab name="Monstrous Brood">
The first time this unit is set up on the battlefield, all of its models must be placed within 6" of at least one other model in their unit. From that point onwards, each operates independently and is treated as a separate unit.
</tab>
</tabs>

'''Transport Capacity:''' A Malefactor can transport up to 20 {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} {{W40kKeyword|INFANTRY}} models or a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} {{W40kKeyword|MONSTER}} with a Wounds characteristic of 14 or less inside it (this cannot be a Tyrannocyte or a Sporocyst). A Malefactor may disembark units while it is being assaulted or after it moved but may not disembark on a turn that it has chosen to advance.  If it is transporting a {{W40kKeyword|Synapse}} creature, then the synapse field continues to project from within the Malefactor, measuring the Synapse range from the Malefactor's base instead of the original model's.

</tab>
<tab name="Instinctive Behaviour">
See Army Rules - Universal
</tab>
<tab name="Invasion Brood">
If this unit contains more than one Tyrannocyte, follow the normal rules for selecting a unit to be stored inside each Tyrannocyte. One unit may be split between the different Tyrannocytes, as long as there is enough space for each model. This entire unit must be deployed at the same time; from that point onward, every Tyrannocyte counts as a different unit for all intents and purposes.
</tab>
<tab name="Invasion Organism">
During deployment, you can set up a Tyrannocyte in its hive ship instead of placing it on the battlefield. If you do so, the hive ship can launch the Tyrannocyte at the end of any of your Movement phases – set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that are inside the Tyrannocyte must immediately disembark in the same manner as a unit disembarking from a transport, except that they must be set up more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that cannot be set up in this way are destroyed. This model and any units embarked aboard it are exempt from the ''Tactical Reserves'' matched play rule.
</tab>
</tabs>

'''Transport Capacity:''' A Tyrannocyte can transport up to 20 {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} {{W40kKeyword|INFANTRY}} models or a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} {{W40kKeyword|MONSTER}} with a Wounds characteristic of 14 or less inside it (this cannot be a Tyrannocyte or a Sporocyst).
