	Acid Maw: Viciators have a large symbiotic organism that resides within its mouth. In exchange for protection, it produces a coctail of volatile fluids that the Viciator is able to spray over a large area. When a Viciator attacks a vehicle it counts any armour values higher than 12 as 12.		Acid Maw: Viciators have a large symbiotic organism that resides within its mouth.

	Brainleech Hive: Viciators have a weapon symbiote that resembles a gigantic version of a Devourer that is often seen on smaller Tyranid creatures. The symbiotic organisms fired by the mound, generally resemble the organisms fired from the smaller weapon, though they encorporate a strong sheathing of carapace and acidic ichor to increase their ability to penetrate armour.

	The Viciator is a massive [[Tyranid]] Biotitan akin to the more well-known [[Hierophant]]. While less known, the Viciator have been identified with its huge crushing claws or long scythe-like blades, cluster spines and other bio-weapons. How the Tyranids have developed such large biological constructs without collapsing on itself via the square cube law remains a mystery to the Imperium's Xenos Biologis.

	Smaller than a [[Hierophant]], supposedly a tank/armor hunter. The Viciator is one hideous monstrosity that yet again, took another page out of Ridley Scott's Alien, or more likely James Cameron's Aliens. What with its mouth-in-mouth look you would think that the [[Genestealers]] were enough an homage to one of the granddaddies of Sci-Fi horrors. Even more obviously, it's mandibles probably reference the Predator.		Smaller than a [[Hierophant]], supposedly a tank/armor hunter.

	**A model with this rule can Fall Back in the movement phase and still shoot and/or charge during its turn. When this model Falls Back, it can even move over enemy models as long as they possess the INFANTRY keyword and as long as it ends it’s move more than 1” from enemy models. This model may still shoot if there are enemy models within 1” of it as long as they possess the INFANTRY keyword. In this case it can shoot at enemies within 1” of itself or any other visible enemy unit that is not within 1” of a friendly unit. Finally, this model only gains a bonus to its armour save if at least half of it is obscured from the firing unit.		**A model with this rule can Fall Back in the movement phase and still shoot and/or charge during its turn.

	As it stands, the Vicator is an absolute rape machine if you have VEHICLE etc keyword, due to its high strength, high ap and high damage against such models. It’s ability to cover huge distances also means that nothing is safe from its gasp other than flyers, eldar titans and war hound titans, with everything else being far, far too slow to outrun it. Against infantry it has many ways of reducing their morale and forcing them to reroll successful morale tests, ensuring that even space marines will be running home because they “forget they left the oven on” like skaven under superior firepower. Where the Vicator falls down is when any ranged fire is directed at it, as it only has a 3+ save and no invulnerability save, and in the battles where your fielding such a monster your opponent will most likely be fielding their own titans who will chew through the Vicators T 8 and 28 wounds (a single round of shooting from a Dual turbo-laser will probably be enough to kill the vicator or at least make it completely useless. As such if you want to use one you need to keep it in cover and in melee, in melee against a titan without a melee weapon would be ideal.
