	This page is a translation of the [[Codex - Tyranids: /tg/ edition]] into 8th edition. Since the Tyranids are now a decent army this codex is basically useless but still a funny idea if you want to play Tyranids in a more extreme way. All the rules in this page are meant to be used alongside the normal Tyranids Codex. If a rule isn't explained, look it up on the Codex.

	*'''Burrow'''		*'''Burrow:''' At the beginning of any of your Movement phases, any Mawloc can burrow. Remove it from the battlefield – it can return as described in the Terror from the Deep ability. A Mawloc may not burrow and return to the battlefield in the same turn. If the battle ends while the Mawloc is underground, it is considered to be slain.

	*'''Terror from the Deep'''		*'''Terror from the Deep:''' During deployment, you can set up a Mawloc underground instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases, set up the Mawloc anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 1" away from any enemy models and more than 3" from any other Mawlocs set up this way this turn, then roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 2" of it; on a 1 the unit escapes unharmed, on a 2-3 it suffers 1 mortal wound, on a 4-5 it suffers D3 mortal wounds and on a 6 it suffers 3 mortal wounds. The Mawloc cannot charge in the same turn.
	*'''Swallow Whole:''' If 4 or more of the Mawloc's Scything Talon attacks hit, instead of causing damage normally the Mawloc can attempt to swallow a victim whole. Roll a D6, and if the result is equal to or higher than the highest Wounds characteristic of the unit, one model from that unit is slain.		*'''Swallow Whole:''' If 4 or more of the Mawloc's Scything Talon attacks hit, instead of causing damage normally the Mawloc can attempt to swallow a victim whole.
