===Bio-Plasma===

Revolving entirely around being organic, Plasma weaponry among Tyranids are few. The Bio-plasma Biomorph is exclusive the [[Carnifex|Carnifexes]], its shots equivalent in deadliness to that of a Plasma Cannon.

To do so, the Carnifex with this Biomorph regurgitates an unstable series of chemicals from its innards, which it then spews from its mouth, ignited using electrical impulses along the Tyranid's throat – much in the same way that a Venom Cannon works. Once launched, the glob of biochemicals go off in an incandescent explosion of Plasma. Because it does not actually burn until passing the throat, it will not overheat inside the user, negating any heat related issues that would have surfaced otherwise. Massive Bio-plasma-emitting spines can also be found on Tyranid Bio-ships. Bio-plasma spines serve as effective short-range weapons batteries in void combat, emitting gargantuan balls of Bio-plasma that can devastate enemy voidcraft, more of which can be read below. Recently, Bio-plasma-specialized Carnifexes have begun to surface with only an additional suffix along with different stats, the '''Bio-plasmic Scream''' possessed by the Screamer Killer brood. This type was originally used to designate Carnifexes with Bio-plasma because of their terrible ululating shriek, caused by rasping plates in their esophagus that were used to energize the Bio-plasma. On the other hand, it is reported that these Screamer Killers use an electrical field around their claws to build up an incandescent Bio-plasma ball before launching it at a target over longer ranges – imagine a [[Anime|Rasengan]], but over the mouth.

Since Monstrous Creatures can only fire two of their ranged weapons per Shooting Phase, and you should already have two sets of twin-linked Brainleech Devourers on your 'Fex, AND it has only a 12-inch range, so you'll never get the chance to use this Biomorph and shouldn't waste the points to begin with. While 8th Edition lifts that restriction, it is still held back by its short range, limited number of shots (''Assault D3 12" S7 AP-3 1 D''), and exclusivity with the more useful Enhanced Senses and Tusks. The option is not terribly popular as far as upgrades go since players in general prefer Venom Cannons, which are both safer and longer-ranged for their anti-armor purposes, though Bio-plasma can prove quite useful against heavily-armored infantry. The Scream, on the other hand, is an Assault D6, 18" range, and AP-4 which make this a much better weapon overall than the standard Bio-plasma, allowing the Screamer Killer to soften things up before it charges.
