*'''Implant Parasite:''' Each model, removed as a casualty because of wounds inflicted in melee by the Parasite of Mortex must roll a Toughness test before being removed. For each test failed, roll a D6. At the end of the Assault phase place a Ripper Swarm Brood or add the Ripper bases to the Ripper Swarm Brood The Parasite is attached to with a number of models equal to the combined result of these D6. All models must be within 6” of the unit with this rule. Ripper Swarms placed this way never count as kill points. Any bases that cannot be place because of impassable terrain, enemy within 1” or because you have run out of models are lost.
*'''Brood Leader:''' During the Psychic phase Tyranid Prime may spend one Warp Charge from the pool (even if it is not a psyker) to bestow its Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill to all models in its unit until the start of his next Psychic phase or until it get removed as a casualty, unless their own would be higher for any reason. It doesn't need to spend a Warp Charge to grant this effect to Tyranid Warriors or Shrikes.
*'''The Sarge is Acting Strangely:''' Any enemy Infantry, Cavalry, Beasts or Bike unit, with or without Jet or Jump type, that arrives via Outflanking may harbor a squad member infested with Ripper parasites. At the end of their movement phase, one model in each of these units (owning players choice) must take a toughness test. If the test is failed that model is instantly removed as a casualty and the Tyranid player may place a Ripper swarm unit of D6 bases anywhere within 6" of the victim. If the victim was inside a transport then it is assumed they staggered out before dying; place the Ripper bases within 6" of one of the access points. Any bases that cannot be placed because of enemies within 1", impassable terrain or running out of models are lost. Rippers created in this way do not count as a Kill Point.

*'''Monstrous Creature (Leaper)''' Leaper is sub type, and as such does not appear as a catagory on its own, but only when paired with another unit type. Models with the Leaper sub-type may choose to use their Leaping ability in either the Shooting phase or the Assault phase (they may not use both in the same turn). When not using this ability, the model moves normally for a model of its base type. When using Leaper (whether moving or charging) the model can move over all other models and terrain freely. If the model begins or ends its move in difficult terrain it must take a Dangerous Terrain test. Leaping models cannot end their move on top of other models or in impassable terrain.
*'''Psychic Brood:''' If a brood of Zoanthropes manifests the Warp Blast psychic power it is cast once for each model in the unit. The Zoanthrope Brood's Mastery level is always equal to the amount of models left in the unit + 1. Whenever a Zoanthrope is killed choose a psychic power known to the Zoanthropes. The Zoanthropes lose that psychic power until the end of the game. Zoanthropes cant forget Warp Blast psychic power. 
**'''Shooting Phase''' - If a Leaping Model Leaps during the Shooting phase, it can move up to 6" this move, and only this move, is measured from the front of the base to the back of the base were it finishes the unit may not run after leaping but may shoot and assault as normal.
*'''Warp Field:''' Zoanthropes have a 3+ invulnerable save.
**'''Assault Phase''' - If a Leaping Model leaps during the assault phase, it gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule, if it did not already possess it, and all Hammer of Wrath attacks are resolved at +1 Strength and gain the Strikedown special rule.

:If you choose to do so, no To Wound rolls are made for any of the Red Terror's Attacks (excluding its prehensile pincer attack). Instead, the nominated model must pass a single invulnerable save (if it has one) or be removed from play as a casualty. There is no need to decide beforehand if you will attempt to swallow a model whole; declare after rolling To Hit. Enemy models with either the Very Bulky or Extremely Bulky special rule cannot be nominated as targets to be Swallowed Whole. If no models in the target unit can be nominated, the Red Terror cannot choose to Swallow Whole and must roll To Wound normally.

*'''Drifting:''' Spore Mines move 3" in the Movement phase and, when they Run or charge, move half the distance rolled. Spore Mines are never slowed by difficult terrain, but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal.
*'''Monstrous Creature (Leaper)''' Leaper is sub type, and as such does not appear as a catagory on its own, but only when paired with another unit type. Models with the Leaper sub-type may choose to use their Leaping ability in either the Shooting phase or the Assault phase (they may not use both in the same turn). When not using this ability, the model moves normally for a model of its base type. When using Leaper (whether moving or charging) the model can move over all other models and terrain freely. If the model begins or ends its move in difficult terrain it must take a Dangerous Terrain test. Leaping models cannot end their move on top of other models or in impassable terrain.
*'''Floating Death:''' (Frag Mines, Toxin Mines, Acid Mines) Spore Mines do not attack in close combat. Instead, at the Initiative 10 step, the entire cluster detonates! Each type of mines detonates specifically:
**'''Shooting Phase''' - If a Leaping Model Leaps during the Shooting phase, it can move up to 6" this move, and only this move, is measured from the front of the base to the back of the base were it finishes the unit may not run after leaping but may shoot and assault as normal.
::*'''Frag Mines:''' Place a large blast markers centered on each Frag Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 4, AP4 and Ignores Cover special rule equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered bu multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
**'''Assault Phase''' - If a Leaping Model leaps during the assault phase, it gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule, if it did not already possess it, and all Hammer of Wrath attacks are resolved at +1 Strength and gain the Strikedown special rule.
::*'''Toxin Mines:''' Place a blast markers centered on each Toxin Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 1, AP3, Poisoned (3+) and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered by multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
::*'''Acid Mines:''' Each unit in close combat with Acid Mines suffers a number of hits with Strength 6, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of models in base-to-base contact with Acid Mine models.
:Once all hits have been resolved, remove all models in the Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties.
*'''Sky Bomb:''' (Char Mines only) Char Mines benefit from Hard to Hit special rule, and count as Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures for the purpose of targeting. They can charge Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures, and cannot charge any other type of units. Unlike other Spore Mines, Char Mines' charge range is not halved per Drifting special rule, though each mine must roll for charge distance separately. For each Char Mine, that successfully charged enemy unit, it immediately suffers automatic hit with Strength 7, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rule. Regardless of the number of successful charges (if any), remove Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties after they attempt to charge their target.
*'''Living Bomb:''' Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when destroyed, and Wounds suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.

Meiotic Spores may not declare charges and if charged by any enemy unit, they detonate and are removed from play before any blows are struck or other effects are triggered, causing D6 Str5 AP4 hits on the charging unit per Meiotic Spore in the unit when it is removed from play. If any Meiotic Spore is removed as a casualty due to shooting attacks, then its controlling player may place a new unit of D3+1 Spore Mines anywhere within 6" of the destroyed models. These spore mines form a separate unit that may act normally on the turn following their placement. In addition, whenever the Meiotic Spore brood moves within 6" of an enemy unit, or during any friendly shooting phase, the Meiotic Spore Brood may make one attack using the profile below.

*'''Living Battering Ram:''' When this model charges, it inflicts D3 Hammer of Wrath Attacks, rather than just 1.
*'''Precise Tunneling:''' If, when a Ravener Brood deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle. This does not apply to buildings with transport capacity, despite them usually count as Impassible terrain - Ravener Brood may deliberately Deep Strike on top of the building, and if at least one model in the brood end it's scatter over the building, count them as occupying this building's lowest floor. If that floor is already occupied by the enemy unit, both units become immediately locked in close combat. This does not count as Charge, so no one get bonus attacks for charging, Rage and Counter-Charge special rules.
*'''Know No Honour''' (Red Terror only)
*'''Swallow Whole:''' (Red Terror only) If the Red Terror hits with at least four of its close combat attacks in a single phase (excluding its prehensile pincer attack), you may nominate a single enemy Infantry, Jump Infantry or Jet Pack Infantry model in base contact with the Red Terror and attempt to swallow it whole.
:If you choose to do so, no To Wound rolls are made for any of the Red Terror's Attacks (excluding its prehensile pincer attack). Instead, the nominated model must pass a single invulnerable save (if it has one) or be removed from play as a casualty. There is no need to decide beforehand if you will attempt to swallow a model whole; declare after rolling To Hit. Enemy models with either the Very Bulky or Extremely Bulky special rule cannot be nominated as targets to be Swallowed Whole. If no models in the target unit can be nominated, the Red Terror cannot choose to Swallow Whole and must roll To Wound normally.

*'''Subterranean Assault:''' If, when a Trygon (or Trygon Prime) deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.
*'''Swarms'''
:After the Trygon (or Trygon Prime) has emerged, mark the position under the creature’s base with a suitable marker – this represents the tunnel left by its emergence. Any friendly Tyranid Infantry unit that arrives from reserve in subsequent turns may emerge from the Trygon’s tunnel instead of arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
*'''Consume:''' During Shooting phase unit with at least three bases with this rule may opt to devour an organic terrain piece (forests, booshes, swamps, etc) it touches. If it choses so, you may move models in a unit to any point wholly within that piece of terrain before removing it from the field. This counts as Run move for all intents and purposes.
:If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are wholly within 6" of the centre of the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1" of enemy models or within impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties. A unit may not move or charge on the same turn it arrives from a Trygon’s tunnel, but may shoot or Run.
*'''Surge:''' In close combat, every model with this special rule can exchange all of its normal Attacks to make a single surge attack, which uses the following profile:

| Melee, Haywire, Jammed!

|}<br style="clear: both; height: 0px;" />
::'''Jammed!:''' When performing surge attack, models with this rule must roll to hit in close combat even if they hit automatically. For each to-hit result of 1 or 2, the unit, which performed surge attack, suffers a wound with no saves of any kind allowed. This wound cannot be allocated on the model without Surge special rule.

*'''From The Inside:''' Laius Horror always starts the game in reserves. If your army includes the Laius Horror, secretly write one enemy non-vehicle and non-Character model with one wound as a Host. If there is no such model, pick a model with 2 wounds and no Character type. When the Host loses its last Wound or when the Laius Horror enters from reserve, reveal the note to your opponent, replace the Host with a Laius Horror, and then remove Host as casualty. If there is no space to place Laius Horror directly on top of where its host been, move other models in the Host's unit until it could be placed - from this moment Laius Horror count as being locked in close combat with his Host's unit. This does not count as Charge, so no one get bonus attacks for charging, Rage and Counter-Charge special rules.
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)'''
*'''Burrow:''' An unengaged Mawloc can, at any point during its Movement phases from the second game turn onwards, elect to burrow. If it does so, remove it from the table and place it into Ongoing Reserves. A Mawloc cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.
*'''Terror from the Deep:''' When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Mawloc can choose to Deep Strike onto a point occupied by another model (friend or foe) – roll for scatter as normal. If a Mawloc Deep Strikes onto a point occupied by another model, do not roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table. Instead, place the large blast marker directly over the spot the Mawloc is deep striking onto. All units except Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures beneath the blast marker suffer a number of Strength 6 AP2 hits with the Ignores Cover special rule equal to twice the number of models that unit has underneath the blast marker. If the blast marker is on a multi-level ruin, only models on the lowest level of the ruin count as being under the blast marker. For Wound allocation purposes, assume the attack is coming from the centre of the blast marker. Hits against vehicles are resolved against their side armour.
:If, after removing casualties, it is now possible to place the Mawloc on the table on the spot where the blast marker landed, then do so, even if this is within 1" of another model (but not if it would be in base contact with, or occupying the same space as, another model). If it is not possible to place the Mawloc, replace the large blast marker on the spot and resolve another round of damage as detailed above. If, after removing casualties for a second time, it is still not possible to place the Mawloc, then move enemy models that prevent it to be placed away from the Mawloc, until it could be placed normally, unless at least one of these models is a Gargantuan Creature, or a Super heavy Vehicle, in which case it suffers "Delayed" result from the Deep Strike Mishap table.

*'''Drifting:''' Spore Mines move 3" in the Movement phase and, when they Run or charge, move half the distance rolled. Spore Mines are never slowed by difficult terrain, but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal.
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)'''
*'''Floating Death:''' (Frag Mines, Toxin Mines, Acid Mines) Spore Mines do not attack in close combat. Instead, at the Initiative 10 step, the entire cluster detonates! Each type of mines detonates specifically:
*'''Poisoned (2+)'''
::*'''Frag Mines:''' Place a large blast markers centered on each Frag Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 4, AP4 and Ignores Cover special rule equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered bu multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
*'''Shrouded'''
::*'''Toxin Mines:''' Place a blast markers centered on each Toxin Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 1, AP3, Poisoned (3+) and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered by multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
*'''Hypertoxic:''' Any hit inflicted by this model that has the Poisoned special rule (including any hits caused by its choking cloud) gains the Instant Death special rule on a To Wound roll of 6.  
::*'''Acid Mines:''' Each unit in close combat with Acid Mines suffers a number of hits with Strength 6, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of models in base-to-base contact with Acid Mine models.
:Once all hits have been resolved, remove all models in the Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties.
*'''Sky Bomb:''' (Char Mines only) Char Mines benefit from Hard to Hit special rule, and count as Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures for the purpose of targeting. They can charge Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures, and cannot charge any other type of units. Unlike other Spore Mines, Char Mines' charge range is not halved per Drifting special rule, though each mine must roll for charge distance separately. For each Char Mine, that successfully charged enemy unit, it immediately suffers automatic hit with Strength 7, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rule. Regardless of the number of successful charges (if any), remove Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties after they attempt to charge their target.
*'''Living Bomb:''' Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when destroyed, and Wounds suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.

*'''Outriders of the Swarm:''' Meiotic Spore Mines must be deployed at the start of the game, just before the first turn but after deployment, using the Deep Strike special rule. They may only be held in reserve in missions that force all other friendly units to begin the game in reserves.
*'''Drifting Death:''' The Tyrannocyte cannot Run or charge. They can consolidate but may not make a Sweeping Advance.
*'''Floating Brood Bomb:''' The Meiotic Spore Brood moves 3+D6" in each of its controlling player's movement phases. When they run, they move only half of the distance rolled. Meiotic Spores are never slowed by difficult terrain but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal. Meiotic Spores may not declare charges and if charged by any enemy unit, they detonate and are removed from play before any blows are struck or other effects are triggered, causing D6 Str5 AP4 hits on the charging unit per Meiotic Spore in the unit when it is removed from play. If any Meiotic Spore is removed as a casualty due to shooting attacks, then its controlling player may place a new unit of D3+1 Spore Mines anywhere within 6" of the destroyed models. These spore mines form a separate unit that may act normally on the turn following their placement. In addition, whenever the Meiotic Spore brood moves within 6" of an enemy unit, or during any friendly shooting phase, the Meiotic Spore Brood may make one attack using the profile below. Each attack may target a different enemy unit. After these attacks are resolved, all models in the Meiotic Spore Brood are removed as casualties.
*'''Transport Spore:''' The Tyrannocyte may transport models, and count as an open-topped transport vehicle with transport capacity of 20 models, though Monstrous Creatures with 5 or less wounds take 10 space (note that the redundant organs mutation does NOT affect this), and 6 wound (or above) monstrous creatures - 20 space. Passengers must disembark Mycetic Spore the turn it enters from Reserves.
**'''Bomb'''
*'''Guided Descent:''' When a Tyrannocyte deploys via Deep Strike, if it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.

|-
Spawning Pool is a Swamp area terrain no more than 7"x7" board. It also can be targeted by weapons with Blast or Template special rules, and counts as a model with T5, W2 and Sv4+ for these purposes. When a Spawning Pool loses its last wound it loses its Ripper Spawner special rule, and becomes a regular Swamp.
|}<br style="clear: both; height: 0px;" />
*'''Ripper Spawner:''' At the start of each of your Movement phases roll a D3, and add these number of Ripper Swarm bases anywhere within 3" of the Spawning Pool - these bases could be included into already existing Ripper Swarm Broods, if they can be placed in unit a coherency with them, or form a new Ripper Swarm Brood. If any of thise models cannot be placed, because there is no available place or you run out of Ripper Swam bases, remove them as causalities.
::'''Brood Bombs:''' If any template from a Meiotic Spore Bomb scatters so that it misses all enemy units, then the controlling player may immediately place a unit of D3+1 Spore Mines anywhere under the template that is at least 1" away from any other models or impassable terrain. If there is not enough space to place any or all of these spore mines, then those models which cannot be placed are removed from play.
 
*'''Living Bomb:''' Meiotic Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when destroyed, and Wounds suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.
====SPORE CHIMNEYS====

Spore Chimneys is a set of three Battlefield Debris pieces no more than 2"x2" board and 5" higheach. Those pieces may be deployed separately. They also can be targeted by ranged weapons or assaulted like, they are a Gun Emplacements with T8, W4 and Sv3+ each. When a Spore Chimney loses ts last wound it loses its Spore Cloud special rule, and becomes a regular Battlefield Debris.
*'''Spore Cloud:''' All models within 6" of a Spore Chimney gain 6+ cover save and may re-roll failed cover save rolls. At the start of any shooting phase all non-Tyranid units within 6" of a Spore Chimney suffer a number of hits with Strength 1, AP5, Poisoned (3+) and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of models within 6" of a Spore Chimney, resolved as a shooting attack from the Spore Chimney.

Capillary Towers is a set of three Battlefield Debris pieces each no more than 3"x3" board and as high as you want (count as unlimited height). Those pieces may be deployed separately. They also can be targeted by ranged weapons or assaulted like, they are a Gun Emplacements with T9, W6 and Sv2+ each. When a Capillary Tower loses its last wound it loses its Biomass Transponder special rule, and becomes a regular Battlefield Debris, and a Tyranid Player who controls it loses one Victory Point.
*'''Biomass Transponder:''' If you have at least one functioning Capillary Tower on the board, each time one of your units with Instinctive Behaviour (Feed) special rule destroys an enemy unit in close combat or force to retreat, give a Feed token to that unit. Units with a Feed token count Capillary Tower as an Objective marker, which grants 3 Victory Points at the end of each of his turns if scored. Each time it grants Victory Points, remove one Feed token from one of the units scoring the Capillary Tower.

This means that Tyranid models must fight with two pairs of any Tyranid Melee weapons to gain a bonus Attack in close combat for fighting with two weapons. For example, a Hormagaunt armed with a single pair of scything talons does not gain a bonus Attack, but a Ravener with two pairs of scything talons, or a Genestealer with a pair of rending claws and a pair of scything talons, does.''

*'''Burrow:''' An unengaged Mawloc can, at any point during its Movement phases from the second game turn onwards, elect to burrow. If it does so, remove it from the table and place it into Ongoing Reserves. A Mawloc cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.
*'''Terror from the Deep:''' When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Mawloc can choose to Deep Strike onto a point occupied by another model (friend or foe) – roll for scatter as normal. If a Mawloc Deep Strikes onto a point occupied by another model, do not roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table. Instead, place the large blast marker directly over the spot the Mawloc is deep striking onto. All units except Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures beneath the blast marker suffer a number of Strength 6 AP2 hits with the Ignores Cover special rule equal to twice the number of models that unit has underneath the blast marker. If the blast marker is on a multi-level ruin, only models on the lowest level of the ruin count as being under the blast marker. For Wound allocation purposes, assume the attack is coming from the centre of the blast marker. Hits against vehicles are resolved against their side armour.
:If, after removing casualties, it is now possible to place the Mawloc on the table on the spot where the blast marker landed, then do so, even if this is within 1" of another model (but not if it would be in base contact with, or occupying the same space as, another model). If it is not possible to place the Mawloc, replace the large blast marker on the spot and resolve another round of damage as detailed above. If, after removing casualties for a second time, it is still not possible to place the Mawloc, then move enemy models that prevent it to be placed away from the Mawloc, until it could be placed normally, unless at least one of these models is a Gargantuan Creature, or a Super heavy Vehicle, in which case it suffers "Delayed" result from the Deep Strike Mishap table.

*'''Ripper Spawner:''' At the start of each of your Movement phases roll a D3, and add these number of Ripper Swarm bases anywhere within 3" of the Spawning Pool - these bases could be included into already existing Ripper Swarm Broods, if they can be placed in unit a coherency with them, or form a new Ripper Swarm Brood. If any of thise models cannot be placed, because there is no available place or you run out of Ripper Swam bases, remove them as causalities.

====INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOUR====
====RUPTURE CANNON====
This special rule is always followed, in brackets, by a type: either Lurk, Hunt or Feed, which corresponds to an effect listed below. At the beggining of each of your turns take a Leadership test for each unit including one or more models with this special rule.
::{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left"
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Lurk):'''
! Range
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule fails its Leadership test at the start of the turn all models with this special rule in the unit immediately Fall Back as if they had failed a Morale test unless it contains a model with the Fearless special rule in which case nothing happens.
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule passes its Leadership test at the start of the turn all models with this special rule in the unit gain the Preferred Enemy special rule until the start of your next turn.   
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Hunt):'''
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule fails its Leadership test at the start of the unit immediately goes to ground unless it contains a model with the Fearless special rule in which case nothing happens.
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule passes its Leadership test at the start of the turn all models with this special rule in the unit gain the Preferred Enemy special rule until the start of your next turn.   
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Feed):'''
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule fails its Leadership test at the start of the turn all models with this special rule in the unit automatically fail all cover saves until the start of your next turn.
::When a unit including one or more models with this special rule fails its Leadership test at the start of the turn all models with this special rule in the unit gain the Rage special rule until the start of your next turn.   
 
====INSTINCTIVE FIRE====
Each weapon this model is armed with automatically fires at the nearest enemy unit within range and line of sight as if it were attached like a vehicle. The shots are resolved at the end of the Shooting phase before Morale checks are taken. Each weapon can fire at a different target unit, but they cannot be fired in any other way or at any other time.
 
====SHADOW IN THE WARP====
All enemy models with the Psyker, Psychic Pilot or Brotherhood of Psykers special rules suffer a -2 penalty to their Leadership characteristic whilst they are within 12" of a model with this special rule. Enemy Psykers within 12" of a model with this speciall rule must pass a Leadership test at the start of each of their psychic phases or add no dice to the Warp Charge pool that phase. Friendly models within 12" of a model with this special rule have the Adamantium Will special rule.
 
====SPAWN HORMAGAUNTS====
Replace Termagants with Hormagaunts in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules.
 
====SPAWN GARGOYLES====
Replace Termagants with Gargoyles in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules.
 
====SPAWN RIPPERS====
Replace Termagants with Rippers in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules. When rolling for the number of bases spawned, roll 3D6 and discard the lowest result, though Tervigon still count as exhausted for any double rolled, even if a double was formed with discarded dice.
 
====SPAWN SKY-SLASHERS====
Replace Termagants with Sky-Slashers in Spawner, Brood Progenitor and Synaptic Backslash rules. When rolling for the number of bases spawned, roll 3D6 and discard the lowest result, though Tervigon still count as exhausted for any double rolled, even if a double was formed with discarded dice.
 
====SYNAPSE====
Friendly models within 12" of a model with this special rule treat their Leadership characteristic as being the same as this model's Leadership characteristic unless it would normally be higher. If a model with this special rule is within 12" of another model with this special rule that has a higher leadership value than they do, the model transmits the higher Leadership value rather than their own. A unit with this special rule may choose to deactiate this special rule at the end of your opponent's turn and instead focus on a single friendly unit within 12", if they do the unit that is focussed on may use this model's Leadership characteristic and gains the Fearless special rule and it may re-roll any Leadership tests it is required to make. These effects last until the end of your oppoonent's next turn.
====LORD OF THE SKIES====
Gargoyle Broods are Troops choices if your Warlord has this special rule.
 
==WEAPONS AND BIOMORPHS==
===MELEE WEAPONS===
'''Designer’s Note:''' ''Tyranid Melee weapons come as pairs. For game purposes, each pair is treated as a single Melee weapon. This means that Tyranid models must fight with two pairs of any Tyranid Melee weapons to gain a bonus Attack in close combat for fighting with two weapons. For example, a Hormagaunt armed with a single pair of scything talons does not gain a bonus Attack, but a Ravener with two pairs of scything talons, or a Genestealer with a pair of rending claws and a pair of scything talons, does.''

::'''Spore Bomb:''' Unlike other weapons, Spore Mine cysts are used during the Movement phase. A Harpy can fire its Spore Mine cysts once in each of its Movement phases. If it does so, it counts as having fired one weapon in its following Shooting phase; however, any other weapons it fires that turn can choose a different target to the Spore Mine cysts. To fire the Spore Mine cysts, the Harpy must be Swooping. After the Harpy has finished moving, centre the large blast marker on any one model the Harpy has passed over that turn and scatter it D6". Units take a hit for each model that is even partially under the blast marker’s final position, resolved using the profile above.
::'''Spore Burst:''' If, when the final position of the first blast marker in the barrage is determined, there are no models (friend or foe) under it, place D3 Spore Mine models of appropriate type anywhere within 3" of the blast template central hole so that they are in unit coherency and not within impassable terrain or 1" of an enemy model (any that cannot be placed are lost). These act as a Spore Mine Cluster for the rest of the game.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki> Spore Mine weapons can use a wide variety of different mines, which define weapon's Strength, AP and additional rules.

I didn't think it would be worth it to do all the legwork with writing down all the profiles of the units in the codex, in addition to that several okay and a couple of great additions were made in Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I have made very, very few edits in this codex which is why it is a '''pre-alpha''' angry dex, or a finished /tg/ dex with some minor revisions. I did not write any of the new rules and many of them will be changed or removed.

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link.

::'''Spore Bomb:''' Unlike other weapons, Spore Mine cysts are used during the Movement phase. A Harpy can fire its Spore Mine cysts once in each of its Movement phases. If it does so, it counts as having fired one weapon in its following Shooting phase; however, any other weapons it fires that turn can choose a different target to the Spore Mine cysts. To fire the Spore Mine cysts, the Harpy must be Swooping. After the Harpy has finished moving, centre the large blast marker on any one model the Harpy has passed over that turn and scatter it D6". Units take a hit for each model that is even partially under the blast marker’s final position, resolved using the profile above.
::'''Spore Burst:''' If, when the final position of the first blast marker in the barrage is determined, there are no models (friend or foe) under it, place D3 Spore Mine models of appropriate type anywhere within 3" of the blast template central hole so that they are in unit coherency and not within impassable terrain or 1" of an enemy model (any that cannot be placed are lost). These act as a Spore Mine Cluster for the rest of the game.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki> Spore Mine weapons can use a wide variety of different mines, which define weapon's Strength, AP and additional rules.

==Introduction==
'''Infantry'''
Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out [[Codex_-_Angry_Editions |the Angry Codex hub]] for the other angry codices and a more detailed description of what exactly the Angry Codices are made to do.


This is a copy and paste of Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I didn't think it would be worth it to do all the legwork with writing down all the profiles of the units in the codex, in addition to that several okay and a couple of great additions were made in Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I have made very, very few edits in this codex which is why it is a '''pre-alpha''' angry dex, or a finished /tg/ dex with some minor revisions. I did not write any of the new rules and many of them will be changed or removed.
'''UNIT COMPOSITION:'''


===Disclaimer===
'''10 Hormagaunts''' ...''x pts''
Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.


===Editing===
'''WARGEAR:'''

Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything.

*'''Brood Progenitor:''' All Broods spawned by the Tervigon within 12" of the Tervigon have the Counter-attack special rule.
 
*'''Spawn:''' At the start of your Shooting phase, a Tervigon can spawn Termagants, even if it is locked in close combat. If it does so, roll 3D6 – this is the number of models spawned. Place the new unit of Termagants on the table so that it is wholly within 6" of the Tervigon. Models in this new unit cannot be placed in impassable terrain or within 1" of enemy models. Any models that cannot be placed are lost.
''Tyrant Guard''
:The spawned unit cannot charge this turn, but it is free to shoot or Run as normal. A unit spawned by a Tervigon is identical in every way to a Termagant unit chosen from the Troops section of the army list, and is treated as such for all mission special rules. Models in a spawned unit are armed with fleshborers and may not purchase options. The unit counts as being part of any Detachment or Formation the Tervigon is part of.
*'''Blind Rampage:''' If a Hive Tyrant or The Swarmlord is killed whilst part of a unit including one or more models with this special rule, all surviving models with this special rulegain the Furious Charge, Rage and Hatred special rules at the end of that turn, and keep them for the remainder of the battle.
:If any double is rolled when determining the size of a spawned unit, the Tervigon cannot spawn any further units for the rest of the game.
*'''Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)'''
*'''Synaptic Backlash:''' If a Tervigon is slain, roll 3D6 before removing the model as a casualty. Each friendly unit of Termagants within 12" of the Tervigon immediately suffers a number of Strength 3 AP- hits equal to the result. Cover saves may not be taken against these hits and Wounds are allocated as per shooting, with the Tervigon as the firer. After all Termagant casualties have been resolved (if any), remove the Tervigon from play.
*'''Shieldwall:''' Characters in a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule automatically pass Look Out, Sir rolls.

Revision as of 13:25, 9 December 2016

Introduction

Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out the Angry Codex hub for the other angry codices and a more detailed description of what exactly the Angry Codices are made to do.

This is a copy and paste of Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I didn't think it would be worth it to do all the legwork with writing down all the profiles of the units in the codex, in addition to that several okay and a couple of great additions were made in Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I have made very, very few edits in this codex which is why it is a pre-alpha angry dex, or a finished /tg/ dex with some minor revisions. I did not write any of the new rules and many of them will be changed or removed.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

TRYGON PRIME

WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Trygon Prime 6 4 6 6 6 5 5 10 3+


UNIT TYPE:

Monstrous Creature

UNIT COMPOSITION:

1 Trygon Prime ...x pts

WARGEAR:

  • Bio-electric pulse with containment spines
  • Two pairs of scything talons

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Deep Strike
  • Fleet
  • Know No Honour
  • Shadow in the Warp
  • Synapse Creature
  • Serpent Lord: If your primary detachment includes at least one Trygon Prime, Raveners can be taken as Troops choices.
  • Subterranean Assault: If, when a Trygon (or Trygon Prime) deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.
After the Trygon (or Trygon Prime) has emerged, mark the position under the creature’s base with a suitable marker – this represents the tunnel left by its emergence. Any friendly Tyranid Infantry unit that arrives from reserve in subsequent turns may emerge from the Trygon’s tunnel instead of arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are wholly within 6" of the centre of the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1" of enemy models or within impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties.

UNIT TYPE:

Infantry

UNIT COMPOSITION:

3 Frag Mines ...x pts

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Deep Strike
  • Fearless
  • Drifting: Spore Mines move 3" in the Movement phase and, when they Run or charge, move half the distance rolled. Spore Mines are never slowed by difficult terrain, but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal.
  • Floating Death: (Frag Mines, Toxin Mines, Acid Mines) Spore Mines do not attack in close combat. Instead, at the Initiative 10 step, the entire cluster detonates! Each type of mines detonates specifically:
  • Frag Mines: Place a large blast markers centered on each Frag Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 4, AP4 and Ignores Cover special rule equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered bu multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
  • Toxin Mines: Place a blast markers centered on each Toxin Mine, every other unit (friend or foe) under the blast templates suffers a number of hits with Strength 1, AP3, Poisoned (3+) and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of its models under the blast templates (calculate for each template separately, so a model, covered by multiple templates would generate multiple hits).
  • Acid Mines: Each unit in close combat with Acid Mines suffers a number of hits with Strength 6, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rules equal to the number of models in base-to-base contact with Acid Mine models.
Once all hits have been resolved, remove all models in the Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties.
  • Sky Bomb: (Char Mines only) Char Mines benefit from Hard to Hit special rule, and count as Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures for the purpose of targeting. They can charge Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures, and cannot charge any other type of units. Unlike other Spore Mines, Char Mines' charge range is not halved per Drifting special rule, though each mine must roll for charge distance separately. For each Char Mine, that successfully charged enemy unit, it immediately suffers automatic hit with Strength 7, AP3 and Armourbane and Ignores Cover special rule. Regardless of the number of successful charges (if any), remove Spore Mine Cluster from play as casualties after they attempt to charge their target.
  • Living Bomb: Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when destroyed, and Wounds suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Fearless
  • Shrouded
  • Outriders of the Swarm: Meiotic Spore Mines must be deployed at the start of the game, just before the first turn but after deployment, using the Deep Strike special rule. They may only be held in reserve in missions that force all other friendly units to begin the game in reserves.
  • Floating Brood Bomb: The Meiotic Spore Brood moves 3+D6" in each of its controlling player's movement phases. When they run, they move only half of the distance rolled. Meiotic Spores are never slowed by difficult terrain but must take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal. Meiotic Spores may not declare charges and if charged by any enemy unit, they detonate and are removed from play before any blows are struck or other effects are triggered, causing D6 Str5 AP4 hits on the charging unit per Meiotic Spore in the unit when it is removed from play. If any Meiotic Spore is removed as a casualty due to shooting attacks, then its controlling player may place a new unit of D3+1 Spore Mines anywhere within 6" of the destroyed models. These spore mines form a separate unit that may act normally on the turn following their placement. In addition, whenever the Meiotic Spore brood moves within 6" of an enemy unit, or during any friendly shooting phase, the Meiotic Spore Brood may make one attack using the profile below. Each attack may target a different enemy unit. After these attacks are resolved, all models in the Meiotic Spore Brood are removed as casualties.

Brood Bombs: If any template from a Meiotic Spore Bomb scatters so that it misses all enemy units, then the controlling player may immediately place a unit of D3+1 Spore Mines anywhere under the template that is at least 1" away from any other models or impassable terrain. If there is not enough space to place any or all of these spore mines, then those models which cannot be placed are removed from play.
  • Living Bomb: Meiotic Spore Mine Clusters are non-scoring, non-denial units. They do not award Victory Points when destroyed, and Wounds suffered by Spore Mines in close combat (including those caused by a Floating Death detonation) are not counted when determining assault results.

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Deep Strike
  • Fearless
  • Fleet
  • Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)
  • Subterranean Assault: If, when a Trygon (or Trygon Prime) deploys via Deep Strike, it scatters on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe), reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.
After the Trygon (or Trygon Prime) has emerged, mark the position under the creature’s base with a suitable marker – this represents the tunnel left by its emergence. Any friendly Tyranid Infantry unit that arrives from reserve in subsequent turns may emerge from the Trygon’s tunnel instead of arriving from reserve as normal. Only one unit may emerge from each tunnel marker each turn.
If any unit chooses to do so, place the entire unit so that all of its models are wholly within 6" of the centre of the marker and in unit coherency. These models cannot be placed within 1" of enemy models or within impassable terrain; if any models cannot be placed, these excess models are removed as casualties. A unit may not move or charge on the same turn it arrives from a Trygon’s tunnel, but may shoot or Run.

MAWLOC

WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Mawloc 3 0 6 6 6 4 3 8 3+


UNIT TYPE:

Monstrous Creature

UNIT COMPOSITION:

1 Mawloc ...x pts

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Deep Strike
  • Fearless
  • Fleet
  • Instinctive Behaviour (Feed)
  • Burrow: An unengaged Mawloc can, at any point during its Movement phases from the second game turn onwards, elect to burrow. If it does so, remove it from the table and place it into Ongoing Reserves. A Mawloc cannot Deep Strike and Burrow in the same turn.
  • Terror from the Deep: When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Mawloc can choose to Deep Strike onto a point occupied by another model (friend or foe) – roll for scatter as normal. If a Mawloc Deep Strikes onto a point occupied by another model, do not roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table. Instead, place the large blast marker directly over the spot the Mawloc is deep striking onto. All units except Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures beneath the blast marker suffer a number of Strength 6 AP2 hits with the Ignores Cover special rule equal to twice the number of models that unit has underneath the blast marker. If the blast marker is on a multi-level ruin, only models on the lowest level of the ruin count as being under the blast marker. For Wound allocation purposes, assume the attack is coming from the centre of the blast marker. Hits against vehicles are resolved against their side armour.
If, after removing casualties, it is now possible to place the Mawloc on the table on the spot where the blast marker landed, then do so, even if this is within 1" of another model (but not if it would be in base contact with, or occupying the same space as, another model). If it is not possible to place the Mawloc, replace the large blast marker on the spot and resolve another round of damage as detailed above. If, after removing casualties for a second time, it is still not possible to place the Mawloc, then move enemy models that prevent it to be placed away from the Mawloc, until it could be placed normally, unless at least one of these models is a Gargantuan Creature, or a Super heavy Vehicle, in which case it suffers "Delayed" result from the Deep Strike Mishap table.

Synapse creatures within the synapse range of another synapse creature form a synaptic web with that synapse creature and every other synapse creature in that synapse creature's synaptic web. A model within the synapse range of a synapse creature counts its Leadership as being that of the synapse creature in that synapse creature's synaptic web with the highest Leadership value.

WEAPONS AND BIOMORPHS

MELEE WEAPONS

Designer’s Note: Tyranid Melee weapons come as pairs. For game purposes, each pair is treated as a single Melee weapon.

Spore Bomb: Unlike other weapons, Spore Mine cysts are used during the Movement phase. A Harpy can fire its Spore Mine cysts once in each of its Movement phases. If it does so, it counts as having fired one weapon in its following Shooting phase; however, any other weapons it fires that turn can choose a different target to the Spore Mine cysts. To fire the Spore Mine cysts, the Harpy must be Swooping. After the Harpy has finished moving, centre the large blast marker on any one model the Harpy has passed over that turn and scatter it D6". Units take a hit for each model that is even partially under the blast marker’s final position, resolved using the profile above.
Spore Burst: If, when the final position of the first blast marker in the barrage is determined, there are no models (friend or foe) under it, place D3 Spore Mine models of appropriate type anywhere within 3" of the blast template central hole so that they are in unit coherency and not within impassable terrain or 1" of an enemy model (any that cannot be placed are lost). These act as a Spore Mine Cluster for the rest of the game.
* Spore Mine weapons can use a wide variety of different mines, which define weapon's Strength, AP and additional rules.

Aerial Minefield Char Mines blast only hit Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures and Zooming Flyers, despite them being usually immune to blast weapons, and does not affect any other models.
* Char Mines only roll extra dice for Armour Penetration per Melta special rule if the target appears to be directly under the blast template central hole.

Introduction

Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out the Angry Codex hub for the other angry codices and a more detailed description of what exactly the Angry Codices are made to do.

This is a copy and paste of Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I didn't think it would be worth it to do all the legwork with writing down all the profiles of the units in the codex, in addition to that several okay and a couple of great additions were made in Codex - Tyranids /tg/ edition. I have made very, very few edits in this codex which is why it is a pre-alpha angry dex, or a finished /tg/ dex with some minor revisions. I did not write any of the new rules and many of them will be changed or removed.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

TERVIGON

WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Tervigon 3 3 5 6 4 2 3 8 3+


UNIT TYPE:

Monstrous Creature

UNIT COMPOSITION:

1 Tervigon ...x pts

WARGEAR:

  • Stinger salvo
  • Scything talons

SPECIAL RULES:

  • Psyker (Mastery Level 1)
  • Know No Honour
  • Shadow in the Warp
  • Synapse Creature
  • Brood Progenitor: All Broods spawned by the Tervigon within 12" of the Tervigon have the Counter-attack special rule.
  • Spawn: At the start of your Shooting phase, a Tervigon can spawn Termagants, even if it is locked in close combat. If it does so, roll 3D6 – this is the number of models spawned. Place the new unit of Termagants on the table so that it is wholly within 6" of the Tervigon. Models in this new unit cannot be placed in impassable terrain or within 1" of enemy models. Any models that cannot be placed are lost.
The spawned unit cannot charge this turn, but it is free to shoot or Run as normal. A unit spawned by a Tervigon is identical in every way to a Termagant unit chosen from the Troops section of the army list, and is treated as such for all mission special rules. Models in a spawned unit are armed with fleshborers and may not purchase options. The unit counts as being part of any Detachment or Formation the Tervigon is part of.
If any double is rolled when determining the size of a spawned unit, the Tervigon cannot spawn any further units for the rest of the game.
  • Synaptic Backlash: If a Tervigon is slain, roll 3D6 before removing the model as a casualty. Each friendly unit of Termagants within 12" of the Tervigon immediately suffers a number of Strength 3 AP- hits equal to the result. Cover saves may not be taken against these hits and Wounds are allocated as per shooting, with the Tervigon as the firer. After all Termagant casualties have been resolved (if any), remove the Tervigon from play.
