Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Tyranids (section)

====Tail Weapons====

Tail weapons typically grant an additional attack that must be made with it, and all of them only allow up to one attack to be made with them.

*'''Biostatic Rattle''': Exclusive to Trygon Primes, this AP-1 weapon forces any unit hurt by it to add 1 to their Morale tests at the end of the turn. Don't waste all your attacks on this weapon, but one or two bitch slaps will help with sending enemies running.
*'''Bone Mace''': Available only to 'Fexes as a tail, this is a cheap monstrous thing. At S8 AP-1 and D1d3, this thing's far worse than its Scything Talons, but if you took guns in all arms and went with Enhanced Senses over the Monstrous Acid Maw this allows you at least one decent knock.
*'''Prehensile Pincer Tail''': SU AP0 D1d3. Awesome on the Red Terror, terrible on the Hive Tyrant (but at least now it's "free").
*'''Thresher Scythe''': Another tail weapon, this time at S4 AP-1. It makes 1d3 attack rolls. Nice if you want to thin out a horde a bit.
*'''Toxinspike''': Another tail weapon. S1 AP0 D1d3, and always wounds non-{{W40Kkeyword|vehicle}} models on a 2+. It ties with the Prehensile Tail as the cheapest tail. Its lack of AP makes it a weapon of debatable usefulness, especially on the Trygons where their Massive Scything Talons are better in almost every scenario. Worth considering on a Mawloc since its Strength value goes down as it gets hurt.
*'''Wicked Spur''': Found only on the Crone, this is essentially an AP-3 Bone Mace made airborne.
