	As it stands there are no official rules for this model, which is a shame because a. They exist in the fluff (but when has that ever stopped GW, to be fair though there are hundreds of characters and models which don’t have fluff) and b. It would be a model with Titan levels of toughness, but nowhere near the firepower or speed, existing as either an ultimate tar pit or distraction carnifex (the fex dreams that it could be this durable). The 7th and 8th edition rules for this monster have it being even tougher than a land raider, 8th edition lascannons will only wound this thing on a 4+. This does beg the question, why is the hive mind throwing around such a tough beast AFTER everything except single cell life has been destroyed?

	Not much is known about this critter other than appearing in a rather elusive and unknown Warhammer 40,000 Collectible Card Game. It is unknown what its main purpose was as its assumed slow speed and lack of range weapons makes the Nautiloid... mysterious. It could be assumed that it is only dropped when the Hive Mind knows there are very few defenses on a planet, and drops these suckers in to help gobble up any microbial or hard-to-suck-out organisms. Heck, they might be the ones responsible of sucking out the planet's micro-organisms in the first place, only ever showing up once all multi-cellular life has been wiped out.

	The nautiloid is an absolute beast when it comes to absorbing damage, at toughness 9, 12 wounds, an average of 1 wound regenerated each turn and ignoring any armour piercing effects below ap -3, it will take around 16.5 lascannon shots (from a bs4+ source) to take it down, anything weaker than a lascannon will NEVER kill it (unless the dice gods are feeling particularly cruel). Ranged wise it’s a reasonable threat to vehicles and monsters due to its ranged tentacle and the chance to cause a mortal wound plus its ability to drag stuff. In melee it’s no slouch either, mostly because it’s attacks have a chance to cause a -1 to a unit's hit and wound characteristic, this combined with its toughness makes it an excellent tarpit unit, if it wasn’t for its 5” movement and inability to advance (admittedly it will always have a 5” movement regardless of negative modifiers).

	This puts the nautiloid in an interesting position, as it wants to be far ahead of your army or on the flanks slowing stuff down/killing stuff, but it lacks the movement speed to effectively do this without outside help (everything else the tyranids have being 6”+), making it somewhat situational unless used by an excellent general who anticipates where it needs to be and supports it correctly.
