	\| Synaptic Web		\| Synaptic Web - The vast majority of Tyranids from this fleet possess Genestealer-style synaptic connections, lessening the need for complex organisms such as Lictors to relay the Hive Mind's signals.
	\|-		\|-
	! 11-20		! 11-20
	\| Avatars of the Hivemind ~~(Lots~~ of ~~psychics)~~		\| Avatars of the Hivemind - The Hive Fleet displays an abnormally high production rate of Zoanthropes, Malanthropes, and other highly powerful psychic bioforms.
	\|-		\|-
	! 21-30		! 21-30
	\| Monstrous Horde ~~(Nidzilla)~~		\| Monstrous Horde - The bioforms born of this fleet are much larger in size than average, which it uses to smash through defences with ease. Think 'Gaunts the size of Leman Russes, Rippers the size of dogs, and don't even ''try'' to think about the Bio-Titans.
	\|-		\|-
	! 31-40		! 31-40
	\| Unending Swarm (Gaunts and Rippers)		\| Unending Swarm - The Hive Fleet overwhelms its foes with massive swarms of bioforms, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions strong. It spurns advanced bioforms in favour of simple, mass-produced 'Gaunts and Rippers.
	\|-		\|-
	! 41-50		! 41-50
	\| Stealth and Infiltration ~~(Stealers~~ and ~~lictors)~~		\| Stealth and Infiltration - The Hive Fleet specialises in sowing terror and confusion among its foes by seeding targeted worlds with Lictors, and sabotaging strongly-fortified planets with carefully-hidden genestealer cults.

	\| Destruction from Afar (~~Shooty army~~. ~~Hello 7th edition! Only shooty units are valid nowadays)~~		\| Destruction from Afar (DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA) - Fleshborers and other ranged weaponry comes naturally to this fleet, to the point where almost every bioform has significant ranged power. Think Hive Fleet Kronos, minus the supercharged Shadow in the Warp.
	\|-		\|-
	! 61-70		! 61-70
	\| Death from Above ~~(Wiiiiings)~~		\| Death from Above - The Hive Fleet specialises in aerial assault and heavy bombardment, using swarms of flying bioforms to clog air defences as Mycetic Spores deliver their deadly biological payloads into the midst of enemy forces.
	\|-		\|-
	! 71-80		! 71-80
	\| The Ground Trembles ~~(Going underground)~~		\| The Ground Trembles - Mawlocs and bioforms specially adapted to dig through solid rockcrete are the order of the day for this Hive Fleet, with the Hive Mind directing these bioforms to dig beneath the defences of its foes and emerge to wreak havoc.

	\| Genestealer Cult		\| Genestealer Cult - Seeding the worlds ahead of them with Genestealers, this Hive Fleet weakens its prey with uprisings and unrest before it chooses to strike.
	\|-		\|-
	! 31-40		! 31-40
	\| Brainleech Thralls		\| Brainleech Thralls - Using specialist spore-borne organisms deployed by its forces to infest the brains of sapient beings, this Fleet reduces large swathes of its chosen prey to mindless thralls that will fight to the death against their former masters. Those too badly damaged to live are cannibalised by the Hive Fleet, granting the Hive Mind insight into the defences and nature of its prey.

	! 41-50		! 41-50
	\| Seeded Lictors		\| Seeded Lictors - Seeding the worlds ahead of them with Lictor broods, the Hive Fleet prepares its prey through the assassination of enemy generals and the marking of critical weak points before the fleet makes planetfall.
	\|-		\|-
	! 51-55		! 51-55
	\| Ancient Mastermind (e.g. Swarmlord)		\| Ancient Mastermind (e.g. Swarmlord) - Granted a major degree of independent thought by the Hive Mind, this evolved Tyranid creature has learned from its Fleet's past mistakes and actively endeavours to counter its disadvantages. Though only one may be on the battlefield at any given time, its power is unquestionable.
	\|-		\|-
	! 56-65		! 56-65
	\| Psychic Vampire (DoM't-esque)		\| Psychic Vampire (DoM't-esque) - Unleashing a mutated form of Neurothrope, this Hive Fleet utilises this creature to break the very souls of its prey, forcing them to lay down their arms or even march into the waiting jaws of Tyranid organisms, their souls reduced to withered husks controlled almost entirely by the Neurothrope - and through that, the Hive Mind.
	\|-		\|-
	! 66-70		! 66-70
	\| Ultimate Stalker (Deathleaper-ish)		\| Ultimate Stalker (Deathleaper-ish) - Sowing terror and marking weakpoints with specialised pheromones, this Lictor-strain is able to hide in plain sight and conceal itself through psychic means. Slipping from shadow to shadow, it seeks out the finest mines and tactical leaders among its prey before bursting forth to devour their brains and vanish once more, leaving terrified survivors to speak of the terror that lurks among them.

	! 71-80		! 71-80
	\| Unkillable Beast (Old One Eye, but useful)		\| Unkillable Beast (Old One Eye, but useful) - This Hive Fleet has learned the value of legends and how to exploit them, invariably deploying a single iteration of a creature designed to evoke the appearance of a notorious Tyranid beast widely known among its chosen prey. Should this creature be slain, an identical copy will be created in the bowels of a Hive Ship, leading to terrified rumours of a Tyranid able to resurrect itself and continue to attack even after incalculable damage.
	\|-		\|-
	! 81-90		! 81-90
	\| Parasitic Broodfather (Parasite of Mortrex)		\| Parasitic Broodfather (Parasite of Mortrex) - Using specialised ovipositors to inject Ripper and even miniature Termagaunt embryos into its victims, this creature swiftly transforms tightly-packed trenches and knots of prey into thrashing masses of insectoid horrors.

	! 91-95		! 91-95
	\| Subterranean Hunter (Red Terror ~~sort~~ of ~~thing)~~		\| Subterranean Hunter (Red Terror) - Burrowing through the ground to ravage lightly-defended fortifications and snatch up moving troops, this creature is used by the Hive Fleet to harry unwary reinforcements and cut off avenues of retreat.
	\|-		\|-
	! 95-100		! 95-100
	\| Nightmare Fiend (Dagon Overlord-esque)		\| Nightmare Fiend (Dagon Overlord-esque) - Mutated into a nigh-unstoppable monster by the experiments of the Fleet's Norn-Queen, this creature is an abomination even among the hordes of the Tyranids. Deployed only in the most desperate situations due to its massive material cost and high independence, this Fiend has been the death of entire armies and Astartes Companies.
