Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Tyranids (section)

==Faction Keywords==
Other than the obvious {{W40kKeyword|TYRANIDS}} keyword the other one is {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}}. Every Tyranid unit needs to be assigned a Hive Fleet, either from the established fleets (Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan to name a few) or one of your own devising. The abilities in a Tyranid force only affect units from the same {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}}. We assume, in the below Tactics write up, that you will be playing with units all with the same {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} keyword. Compared to other armies, the Tyranid named characters are unusual in that you can choose their {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} adaptation they can take rather than just not benefiting from those adaptations a la Shadowsun or Ghazghkull.

{{W40kKeyword|Synapse}} is another keyword to keep an eye out for, as these units are your only ways to marshal the gaunts and other gribblies to your command and ensure that they won't scatter the moment things go sour for them. Of course, the Synaptic Imperative rule will also require you to daisy chain multiple {{W40kKeyword|Synapse}} units together to ensure maximum coverage.

{{W40kKeyword|Hive Tendril}} is a new keyword that's been showing up on the codex. It primarily exists to prevent you from mixing Genestealer Cult units into a Tyranid detachment.
