The more ordnance-heavy of the Vanguards.

The Corrosive Vanguard drops half the offensive firepower of the [[Caustic Escort Drone]], while also increasing the cost of the ship by 5 points, to bring the Marking ability that allows Tyranid ships to make use of target priorities. Without ships providing the Marking ability, Tyranids will just fire at the closest target, even when a Synaptic creature is on the board.

With most factions, not being able to focus fire at range might be a serious drawback, and while it can be a hindrance at times for the Tyranids, it certainly isn't nearly as much of a problem for them as it is for other races. This is namely due to their heavy use of special abilities, assault actions, rams and other close-range attacks. In essence, it's very easy to circumvent this drawback simply through making good and specific use of the Tyranids play style.

It is armed with 1 Light [[Pyro-Acid Battery]].
