You may either replace both neutron crystal-core missiles with crystal-core neutron bomb bays or take two additional neutron crystal-core missiles.

''Aerial Insertion'': Models may disembark from this vehicle at any point during its move, but if they do they cannot move further during this phase; if the transport moves 20" or more, you must roll a D6 for each model disembarking; if that model does not have ''Plunge from the Skies'' or a similar rule, subtract 2 from the die roll. On a 1 or lower, that model is slain. Models that disembark in this manner must be set up more than 9" from any enemy models.

''Bombing Run'': Once per battle, a Hive Barge equipped with crystal-core bomb bays can make a bombing run against a single enemy unit it moves over during one of its Movement phases. After the Hive Barge has moved, pick an enemy unit that it flew over, then roll 2D6 for each {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}} in the unit, 3D6 for each {{W40kKeyword|MONSTER}}, and a single D6 for every other model in the unit, up to a maximum of 10D6. For every roll of a 5+, the unit suffers a mortal wound.

''Crash and Burn'': If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a D6 before removing it from the battlefield and before any embarked models disembark. On a 6 it crashes in a fiery explosion and each unit within 6" suffers D3 mortal wounds.

''Phased Crystal Array'': This model has a 6+ Invulnerable Save.

''They're coming out of the walls! -Last words of Guardsman 198507, during an invasion of a Vespid Hive Complex on Mugalath Bay.''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Hive Guardians are the Elite warriors of Vespid society, trained as bodyguards to the Hive’s current leaders. They were the first point of contact between the Tau Empire’s Water Caste, and the Vespid Government, acting as Interpreters & Wardens.

Rarely seen working alongside Tau forces in the battlefield, Hive Guardians specialize in Hit & Run tactics, much like the Stingwings. However Hive Guardians are also trained in Close Quarters combat with their specially designed spears, which are coated in a deadly paralytic agent, derived from a Vespid Queens Pheromones.

Hive Guardians who demonstrate extreme loyalty in battle are allowed access to a unique mix of proteins and natural steroids, normally consumed by Vespid queens. If their body can handle the strain of the forced transformation, they are changed into "Queen Guardians", a sub-species of Vespid that are tougher, faster, and more steadfast than their brethren.

''Dispersed Pack'': The first time this unit is set up, all models in this unit must be placed within 6" of each other. From that point onwards, each operates independently and is treated as a separate unit for all rules purposes.

''Feral Assault'': This unit cannot Fall Back. When an enemy unit (other than a unit that contains a model with a minimum Move characteristic) within 1" of a Yellowjacket is chosen to Fall Back, you can roll one D6; on a 4+ that unit cannot Fall Back this turn.

''Furious Dive'': A Yellowjacket may Advance and Charge in the same turn. At the start of your Charge phase, if this unit is within 12" of any enemy units, it must declare a charge.

''Too Fast to Hit'': As long as it has moved at least 8" since the beginning of your last turn, a Yellowjacket has a dodge save. Its strength is based on the total distance moved, including Advances, Charges, and Consolidate moves,  as specified in the table above. This dodge save is an invulnerable save which applies only against shooting attacks; it applies against Overwatch attacks, but does not apply to shooting attacks made by units within 1" of the Yellowjacket (i.e Pistol attacks).
