The Neurothrope was a recently released Zoanthrope upgrade that came to White Dwarf in November 2014. It's the Doom of Malan'tai reborn! They even say as much in his White Dwarf snippet, the Doom's "uncountable progeny", as if to imply the Doom wasn't already filling every 5th ed Tyranid list you ever came across. Rather than just a single Zoanthrope, it's a Zoanthrope character, taken as your typical "sergeant upgrade".
Let's ge the bad out of the way first. The signature "fuck you" bubble has been nerfed: instead of free damage on everything in range, it's now a psychic power that only hits one unit, and it's Witchfire so you have to roll to-hit (at least they're BS4). On the plus side, the range is now 18 inches, it's only warp charge 1, and more importantly any wounds caused turn into free Warp Charges that the rest of the brood can use on Warp Blasts.
