Hive Fleet Nidhoggr

((Currently under development. Don't hurt me. This page is open to editing.))

/tg/ got tired of homebrew spess mareen chapters one day, so they decided to give the beloved Tyranids some upgrades.

Essentially lava-loving, geolithic Tyranids that deep-strike via meteors, hibernate under the planet's surface, and emerge as massive, ash-spewing, magma-gushing towers of flesh and organic crystal.

Tyranid Evolutionary Motivation: Fire hurts. Let's make it stop doing that.

Fluff

Physical Description: Identical to other Tyranid sub-species in biology, with the addition of various pores that secrete an obsidian-like substance over their bodies. The substance has been known to withstand melta bombs and flamer damage. Venom glands that are either normally dormant or inactive in some of the larger sub-species have been adapted to release a dual-chemcial reaction, known to react with hydrogen and oxygen in the air with pyroclasmic effects.

Hive Fleet Invasion normally starts by an inconspicous meteor shower, with monstrous creatures landing far from civilization and burrowing deep beneath the planets crust, positioning themselves near volcanic or caustic vents.
