Fluff:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">First seen as a massive, reaver titan sized Trygon like beast tore into an entire Titan legion on it's own, ripping apart the god machines in a ravenous frenzy to tear a hole through the Adeptus Mechanicus lines and open a path for the forces of Hive Fleet Leviathan to bring about the fall of Megyre. Single mindedly devoted to the task of putting an end to the manufacturing of weapons on Megyre after the Hive Mind determined that the destruction of such a major forgeworld would render countless other worlds easy prey, the creature ignored pain and injury and laid waste to dozens of Titans and Leviathans. It's surprising speed allowing it to rapidly lock itself into combat with the dreadful god machines and rolling cathedrals of the machine cult. 

The vaunted shielding that they so relied on proved useless when faced with a foe so close to it, the forty meter tall serpentine monstrosity hacking off massive limbs and ripping into plasma cores while weaving around mighty chainfists and bayonets and pushing past the fire of defensive batteries in it's mad frenzy to rid the world of it's potent defenders. It's wounds sealing themselves as it went from god machine to god machine, systematically destroying them all before throwing itself at the Bastion walls that presented the final obstacles to the planet's destruction by the hive mind. 

Pushing past the techno-sorcery and unmatched firepower that only a major forgeworld could bring to bear, the Creature launched itself at the shielded walls and hammered at them relentlessly, slamming it's claws and jaws into the shields and adamantium structure with no regard for the injuries it was suffering. Even as chunks of it's flesh were ripped asunder and it's warp shield collapsed it kept on slamming into the wall. Finally, a hellstorm blast tore out it's heart and ended it's life, but not before it tore down a massive chunk of the wall. 

But like other supposedly unique Tyranid organisms, this creature has an odd habit of appearing wherever it would be useful, once again hacking into the largest machines and monsters of it's foes, killing huge Daemons, Squiggoths, Gargants, Titans, and massive tanks all alike in service to the eternal hunger of it's species.</div>

'''Biomorphs:'''
*Two pairs of Scything talons
*Bio-lightning pulse
*Bio-Plasma Torrent 
*Frag Spine Batteries
*Greater Flesh Hooks
*Destroyer field
*Synaptic regeneration
*Gargantuan warp shield

'''Special rules:'''	
*'''Agile'''
*'''Deep Strike'''
*'''Feel No Pain (4+)'''
*'''It Will Not Die (4+)'''
*'''Fleet'''
*'''Rampage'''
*'''Destroyer Beast:''' Viragon may activate its destroyer field even if its out of synapse range.
*'''Titan Crusher:''' Viragon may attempt to assault gargantuan creatures, gliding flying gargantuan creatures or super-heavy vehicles in the turn it enters from Reserve.
*'''Burrow:''' An unengaged Viragon 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. A Viragon cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.
*'''Quake Assault:''' When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Viragon can choose to Deep Strike onto a point occupied by another model (friend or foe) – roll for scatter as normal. If a Mawloc Deep Strikes onto a point occupied by another model, do not roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table. Instead, place the apocalyptic blast marker directly over the spot the Viragon is deep striking onto. All units except Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures beneath the blast marker suffer a number of Strength 10 AP2 hits with the Ignores Cover special rule equal to twice the number of models that unit has underneath the blast marker. If the blast marker is on a multi-level ruin, only models on the lowest level of the ruin count as being under the blast marker. For Wound allocation purposes, assume the attack is coming from the center of the blast marker. Hits against vehicles are resolved against their side armour. 
:If, after removing casualties, it is now possible to place the Viragon on the table on the spot where the blast marker landed, then do so, even if this is within 1" of another model (but not if it would be in base contact with, or occupying the same space as, another model). If it is not possible to place the Viragon, replace the large blast marker on the spot and resolve another round of damage as detailed above. If, after removing casualties for a second time, it is still not possible to place the Viragon, move enemy models that prevent it to be placed away from the Viragon, until it could be placed normally.
:At their next turn after Viragon Deep Strikes, all enemy models within 24" of it treat all terrain (including open ground) as Difficult Terrain.
