	Like the Lictor, the Dimachaeron's name comes from the Roman Empire again. A ''Dimachaerus'' was a gladiator that dual-wielded swords instead of using more tried-and-true weapon styles. Although most Tyranids are already dual-wielding Talons or Boneswords, the Dimachaeron resembles its namesake by having two talons per arm.

	Keep in mind that it has instinctive behaviour (Feed), but that shouldn't be that big of a problem given that it's LD 10. It also isn't fast, even being a fast attack attack choice, and will attract a lot of fire for its ability to obliterate everything it bumps into short of a few special characters, so consider embarking it in a Tyrannocite and dropping it in the midst of the enemy army. It is a risky tactic, but your opponent will be quite hard pressed and will have to choose if he wants to concentrate fire and obliterate it immediately, letting the rest of your horde close on him, or let it live and see his army ripped into pieces the very next turn.
