Hierodules are one of the largest Tyranid creatures, smaller than the Hierophant but a lot larger than the Carnifex. They are often treated as bio-titans, but they are roughly the equivalent of super-heavy tanks in both size and battlefield role. They come in two known flavours:
- Scythed Hierodules are armed with four massive claws and armour that is up to 30cm thick. It also have an acid-spitting organism on its back, resulting in it's hunched stance.
- Barbed Hierodules exchanges the secondary organism and one pair of claws for even heavier armour and a pair of barbed stranglers.
Forge World makes two Hierodule kits, one for the Scythed and one for the Barbed. Both cost £95, or about $160.
On the tabletop
Tyranid players, please write something about how, preferably both types of, Hierodules preform in the game.
Heirodules fucking suck. You pay twice the points value of a Wraithknight for a virtually identical statline and can watch your overpriced garbage unit get the shit kicked out of it by Iron father Smashfucker or a Wraithknight with a shield, while your AP3 gun means that terminators are going to laugh at you and a Riptide isn't going to be even mildly bothered. They're an absolute joke of a lord of war unit and should be avoided like a cocktail of Herpes, Syphilis, AIDS, Cancer, and the Black Death.
They do, however, look fantastic.
