| Hierodules are one of the largest Tyranid creatures, smaller than the [[Hierophant]] but a lot larger than the [[Carnifex]]. They are often treated as [[Titan_(Warhammer_40,000)#Bio-Titans|bio-titans]], but they are roughly the equivalent of super-heavy tanks in both size and battlefield role. They come in two known flavours:
| | Dicks |
| *'''Scythed Hierodules''' are armed with four massive claws and armour that is up to 30cm thick. It also have an acid-spitting organism on its back, resulting in it's hunched stance.
| |
| *'''Barbed Hierodules''' exchanges the secondary organism and one pair of claws for even heavier armour and a pair of [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Barbed_Strangler|barbed stranglers]].
| |
| | |
| [[Forge World]] makes two Hierodule kits, one for the Scythed and one for the Barbed. Both cost £95, or about $160.

| '''Tyranid players, please write something about how, preferably both types of, Hierodules preform in the game.'''

| Heirodules fucking suck. You pay twice the points value of a [[Wraithknight]] for a virtually identical statline and can watch your overpriced garbage unit get the shit kicked out of it by [[Chapter Master Smashfucker|Iron father Smashfucker]] or a Wraithknight with a shield, while your AP3 gun means that [[terminators]] are going to laugh at you and a Riptide isn't going to be even mildly bothered. They're an absolute joke of a lord of war unit and should be avoided like a cocktail of Herpes, Syphilis, [[AIDS]], [[Cancer]], and the Black Death.

| They do, however, look ''fantastic''.
