Anyways, while its looks and function may differ back in [[Epic]], its role is still the same in that of a Tyranid super-heavy artillery unit.

	Originating in [[Epic]], the Dactylis got itself a set of rules in [[Chapter Approved]] 2001 for 3rd edition [[40k]]. The creature is very useful if you are considering to use a brood of [[Biovore]]s. Cheaper than two of those with the full set of Spore Mines, the Dactylis has two Spore Mine Dischargers that it can shoot twice in one turn for a significant output. It is also quite tough with T6 W3 and a neat 2+ save, making it quite a bit more durable than a Biovore.

	*'''Unsubtle Attack’s''': The Dactylis is not a subtle weapon, it’s job is to provide overwhelming amounts of firepower over a massive area and (if push comes to shove) crudely batter foes in melee. This blunt approach does allow small and nimble foes to easily out jink it and avoid its obvious attacks.		*'''Unsubtle Attack’s''': The Dactylis is not a subtle weapon, it’s job is to provide overwhelming amounts of firepower over a massive area and (if push comes to shove) crudely batter foes in melee.

	The '''Dactylis''' is a large and somewhat rare [[Tyranid]]. It takes the form of a large slug-like being, sitting at the back of the front lines in a way uncommon with most Tyranids. It uses its two long and multiple-jointed arms to grab parasites called Bile Pods feeding off glands on the back of its cranium and fling them at the enemy, making distinct whip-like cracks with its limbs as it releases them. These Bile Pods then float to the ground much like [[Spore Mine]]s do, moving around in search of a target. Initial forms of these Bile Pods were more or less identical to Poison Spore Mines, but later versions of the Dactylis had spore-generating colonies that create a variety of payload.
