*'''Serpent Lord:''' If your primary detachment includes at least one Trygon Prime, Raveners can be taken as Troops choices.
*'''Subterranean Assault:''' If, when a Trygon (or Trygon Prime) deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.
:After the Trygon (or Trygon Prime) has emerged, mark the position under the creature’s base with a suitable marker – this represents the tunnel left by its emergence. Any friendly Tyranid Infantry unit that arrives from reserve in subsequent turns may emerge from the Trygon’s tunnel instead of arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
:If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are wholly within 6" of the centre of the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1" of enemy models or within impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties. A unit may not move or charge on the same turn it arrives from a Trygon’s tunnel, but may shoot or Run.
*"Burrow": A Trygon Prime can, at any point during its Movement phases from the second game turn onwards, elect to burrow. If it does so, remove it from the table and place it into Ongoing Reserves. The Trygon Prime cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.

'''Biomorphs:'''
*Stinger salvo
*Scything talons

'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Psyker (Mastery Level 1)'''
*'''Know No Honor'''
*'''Shadow in the Warp'''
*'''Synapse Creature'''
*'''Brood Progenitor:''' All Termagant Broods spawned by the Tervigon within Tervigon's synapse range have the Counter-attack special rule, and count as having the same upgrade biomorphs as the Tervigon itself (except Acid Blood and Adamantine Tusks).
*'''Spawner:''' At the end of your Movement phase, a Tervigon can spawn Termagants, even if it is locked in close combat. If it does so, roll 3D6 – this is the number of models spawned. Place the new unit of Termagants on the table so that it is wholly within 6" of the Tervigon. Models in this new unit cannot be placed in impassable terrain or within 1" of enemy models. If you cannot place some of the models due to the restrictions above or because you have run out of Termagant models, the excess is discarded.
:The spawned unit can move during the Movement phase in which it is spawned, it can charge this turn, and it is free to shoot or Run as normal. A unit spawned by a Tervigon is identical in every way to a Termagant unit chosen from the Troops section of the army list, and is treated as such for all mission special rules. Models in a spawned unit are armed with fleshborers and may not purchase options.
:If any double is rolled when determining the size of a spawned unit, the Tervigon has temporarily exhausted its supply of larvae – the Termagant unit is created as normal, but the Tervigon cannot spawn any further units for the rest of the game.
*'''Synaptic Backlash:''' If a Tervigon is slain, roll 3D6 before removing the model as a casualty. Each friendly unit of Termagants within 12" of the Tervigon immediately suffers a number of Strength 3 AP- hits equal to the result. Cover saves may not be taken against these hits and Wounds are allocated as per shooting, with the Tervigon as the firer. After all Termagant casualties have been resolved (if any), remove the Tervigon from play.

'''Upgrades:'''
*'''Spawn Hormagaunts:''' Replace Termagants with Hormagaunts in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules.
*'''Spawn Gargoyles:''' Replace Termagants with Gargoyles in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules.
*'''Spawn Simurghs:''' Replace Termagants with Simurghs in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules.
*'''Spawn Rippers:''' Replace Termagants with Rippers in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules. When rolling for the number of bases spawned, roll 3D6 and discard the lowest result, though Tervigon still count as exhausted for any double rolled, even if a double was formed with discarded dice.
*'''Spawn Sky-Slashers:''' Replace Termagants with Sky-Slashers in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules. When rolling for the number of bases spawned, roll 3D6 and discard the lowest result, though Tervigon still count as exhausted for any double rolled, even if a double was formed with discarded dice.

*'''Implant Parasite:''' Each model, removed as a casualty because of wounds inflicted in melee by the Parasite of Mortex must roll a Toughness test before being removed. For each test failed, roll a D6. At the end of the Assault phase place a Ripper Swarm Brood or add the Ripper bases to the Ripper Swarm Brood The Parasite is attached to with a number of models equal to the combined result of these D6. All models must be within 6” of the unit with this rule. Ripper Swarms placed this way never count as kill points. Any bases that cannot be place because of impassable terrain, enemy within 1” or because you have run out of models are lost.
*'''The Sarge is Acting Strangely:''' Any enemy Infantry, Cavalry, Beasts or Bike unit, with or without Jet or Jump type, that arrives via Outflanking may harbor a squad member infested with Ripper parasites. At the end of their movement phase, one model in each of these units (owning players choice) must take a toughness test. If the test is failed that model is instantly removed as a casualty and the Tyranid player may place a Ripper swarm unit of D6 bases anywhere within 6" of the victim. If the victim was inside a transport then it is assumed they staggered out before dying; place the Ripper bases within 6" of one of the access points. Any bases that cannot be placed because of enemies within 1", impassable terrain or running out of models are lost. Rippers created in this way do not count as a Kill Point.

'''Apex Biomorphs:'''
*'''Metal crushing Carapace:''' Old One Eye increases the result needed for an attack to wound it by one step, with any weapon brought above 6+ being unable to harm it (e.g a weapon that would usually wound on a 2+ needs a 3+, a weapon that would wound on a 3+, a 4+ and so on). Weapons that have the Instant Death special rule lose that rule when attacking and instead cause D3 wounds. If Old One Eye has the Tusks biomorphs, those instead increase the number of Hammer of Wrath hits it inflicts to D3+1 hits.

'''Biomorphs:'''
*Crushing Claws
*Scything Talons
*Spine banks
*Thresher scythe

'''Special rules:'''
*'''It Will not Die'''
*'''Rage''' 
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)'''
*'''Living Battering Ram:''' see the Carnifex entry. 
*'''Alpha Leader:''' Friendly Tyranid models within 12" of Old One Eye may use its Leadership value in place of their own for all purposes, unless their own Leadership is better. Additionally, Old One Eye may join a Carnifex Brood of less than three Carnifexes exactly as if it were an Independent Character, which uses it's Leadership, Weapon Skill, and Ballistic Skill unless theirs is better for any reason.  
*'''Is It Dead?:''' When Old One Eye is removed as a casualty, leave the model on the table (it counts as battlefield debris, and provides 5+ cover), and continue to roll for Regeneration and it will not die as if were still alive. If a wound is recovered, Old One Eye returns to play.

::<nowiki>*</nowiki> Each set of Sinister Talons count as both a pair of patriarch's claws and a pair of scything talons for the purpose of these rules, allowing the Deathleaper to reroll all failed to hit rolls in assault and allowing rending to trigger on a 5+ to wound or a 5+ to penetrate.

'''Special Rules:'''

*'''Fear'''

*'''Hit & Run'''
*'''Know No Honor'''
*'''Infiltrate'''
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Lurk)'''
*'''Move Through Cover'''

*'''Precision Strikes''' All attacks; whether shooting or melee; made by the Deathleaper are considered precision strikes.
*'''Chameleonic Skin:''' See Lictor entry.
*'''Pheromone Trail:''' See Lictor entry.
*'''Ambush!:''' Deathleaper counts as having Ambush! upgrade. See Lictors entry for details.
*'''"Deathleap":''' Deathleaper do not roll for Charge range - instead its Charge range is always 12" unless improved.  The deathleaper similarly does not roll for running, it always runs 6 inches and may shoot and charge after running.  If onlsaught is cast upon it and/or if subject to the Swarmlord's speed synapse, the Deathleaper may run twice.   If it is subject to both, it may also make an additional normal move action.   
*'''"It’s after me!":''' Nominate an enemy character at the beginning of the game and roll a D3. Whilst Deathleaper is alive, that model’s Leadership is reduced by the result.
*'''"It's too fast!":''' The Deathleaper has a 3++ invulnerable save in melee and a 4++ invulnerable save against shooting. 
*'''"It's got my weapon!":''' When attacking an enemy, the Deathleaper may force an opposed weapon skill test on each model wounded by the Deathleaper in either shooting or assault.  Upon announcing a disarm check and designating the weapon to be disarmed, both players will roll 1d6 and add it to their weapon skill rating, if  Deathleaper loses, nothing happens. If Deathleaper wins then the designated item is disarmed and cannot be used for the remainder of the turn. 
*'''"There is no escape":''' Challenges made by the Deathleaper may never be refused as it singles out a target and isolates them from the rest of their unit.  Glorious interventions are not allowed either.  
*'''"Where is it?":''' Enemy models can only fire Snap Shots when targeting Deathleaper.  In assault, rolls made to hit the deathleaper are worsened by one, or by two against enemies the deathleaper has preferred enemy against.   When the Deathleaper has preferred enemy against an enemy model, its to hit roll improves by one (3+ to hit becomes 2+).    Models may not fire overwatch against the deathleaper.   
*'''"Where are my guards?":''' Look Out Sir! rolls may not be made against attacks from Deathleaper.
