Nidhoggr Hive Fleet

Lore

A hive fleet of fire and rock, born from a charred planet. TBA

Rules

All the rules in this section are meant to be used alongside the Tyranids 9th Edition Codex.

Hive Fleet Adaptation

Burning Heat: The fires produced by the agents of the Devouring Flame make it nearly impossible to hide behind sturdy protections, for nothing can resist the burning temperatures.

Each time a model with this adaptation makes an attack, improve the Armor Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

Adaptive: Each time a unit with this adaptation makes a melee attack, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Damage characteristic of that attack by 1.

Hyper-adaptation: You can swap this hive fleet’s Adaptive rule for one of the followings:

-Augmented Ferocity: Add 1 to charge rolls made for units with this adaptation.

-Extra-caustic Fumes: At the end of the turn, roll a die for each enemy unit within 3" of a Monster model with this adaptation; on a 4+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds, 3 on a roll of 6.

-Scorching Salvoes: Each time a unit with this adaptation makes a ranged attack, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.

-Tectonic Shell: Each time an attack is allocated to a Monster model with this adaptation, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1).

-Unfeeling Resilience: Models with this adaptation whose characteristics can change as they suffer damage are considered to have double the number of wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what those characteristics are.

-Unstoppable Swarm: Units with this adaptation can ignore any or all modifiers to their Move characteristic, Advance rolls and charge rolls.

Stratagem

Burning Rain (1/2 CP) - Battle Tactic Stratagem: As the flaming terrors of the Nidhoggr soar the skies, the darkness is driven back by millions of tiny drops of burning acid that fall down like deadly shooting stars.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase and select one Nidhoggr Aircraft unit from your army. Select one enemy unit that was passed over by the selected model. Roll six D6s for each Vehicle or Monster model in that unit and roll one D6 for each other model in that unit (to a maximum of ten D6s): for each 3+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound; if your selected unit is Titanic, then double the amount of D6 rolled for each model to a maximum of twenty D6s. An Harpy may not be chosen as the target of this Stratagem and use its Spore Mine Cysts rule to inflict mortal wounds in the same turn. This Stratagem costs 2 Command Points if the targeted model is Titanic, otherwise it costs 1 Command Point.

Core Meltdown (2 CP) - Epic Deed Stratagem: As a last resort, this beast's internal furnace burns all the available fuel while secondary temperature-regulating organs are sealed. The temperature and explosive fumes build up until the entire exoskeleton bursts open with a bright flash, melting everything in a pyroclastic explosion.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a Nidhoggr Monster model from your army (excluding Titanic models) is destroyed. If that model has an ability that is triggered on a dice roll upon its destruction (e.g. Death Throes) that rule has no effect; instead, before removing the model, roll a die for each unit within 6" of that model. On a 2-3 that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds, 3 on a 4-5, D3+3 on a 6.

Internal Sun (2 CP) - Strategic Ploy Stratagem: The creature of the Nidhoggr can produce an incredible heat seemingly out of nothing. It is not known how those beasts manage to survive but one thing is certain, no simple soldier can withstand these iron-melting temperatures.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Fight phase. Choose a single Internal Furnace Nidhoggr model and roll a die for each non-Nidhoggr model within 1" of it; on a 3+ that model's unit suffers a mortal wound.

Hive-fleet Psychic Power

All Nidhoggr Psyker units automatically know the following power in addition to any other.

Ignition: By focusing its own internal heat and that of creatures around it, the psyker fires a narrow beam of energy that incinerates flesh and melts ceramite as if it was snow on a fire.

Witchfire: Ignition has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select an enemy unit within 18" of this Psyker and draw a straight line between the closest point of its base and that of the closest model in the target unit. Roll a die for the target unit and each other enemy unit the line passes over; on a 4+ that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds, 3 on a 6+, D3+3 on a 10+, 6 on a 12+. Add 1 to the roll for every friendly Nidhoggr unit within 3" of the Psyker (other than the model itself), 2 if the unit is a Monster or contains six or more models, up to a maximum of +6 (an unmodified roll of 1 always fails).

Warlord Trait

Bane of Flesh and Metal: The insatiable hunger of this organism, paired with the incinerator in its belly, mean that nothing, be it organic or inorganic can stand in its way.

• Each time this Warlord makes a melee attack, you can re-roll the wound roll.
• Each time this Warlord makes a melee attack, if the target is a Monster or Vehicle, add 1 to that attack's Damage characteristic.

Hellspawn: The leader beast of the Nidhoggr is a demonic creature of ash and hatred. The heat produced by its body reaches impossible heights and all enemies kneel down and melt at its sight.

• During deployment, you may instead set this Warlord deep underground, waiting for the right time to strike. At the end of any of your movement phases this model can burrow up and out of the rock in a fiery eruption of magma and razor-sharp limbs; set this model up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 6" away from any enemy models, after that, every enemy unit within 9" suffers D3 mortal wounds on a roll of 2+.
• At the end of every turn roll a die for every non-Nidhoggr unit within 6” of this Warlord; on a 4+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Undying Flame: A perpetual fire harbors in the body and spirit of this organism and it can't be extinguished even by the most brutal weaponry.

• Each time this Warlord would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost.
• When this Warlord is slain, before removing it from play, it may fight as if it was the Fight phase. If your Warlord's characteristics change as it suffers damage, consider it as having its full number of wounds when resolving those attacks.

Synaptic Imperatives

The strange synaptic organisms of the Nidhoggr can infuse their underlings with new and deadly abilities. Much like normal Synaptic Imperatives, you may choose to use the ones found below if your army contains the corresponding model. All other rules related to Synaptic Imperatives still apply.

Linnorm - Pyroclastic Ambush: x

While this Synaptic Imperative ability is active for your army and a friendly Nidhoggr unit is within 6" of this Synapse model, each time a ranged attack of that unit targets an enemy unit that is within 12" of another Nidhoggr unit, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.

Surtr-Class Swarmlord - Consuming Inferno: x

While this Synaptic Imperative ability is active for your army and a friendly Nidhoggr unit is within 6" of this Synapse model:

• Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of Infantry models in that unit.
• Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of Monster models in that unit.

Biomorphs

Bio-artefact Relics

The Relics found below represent mutations found in the fleet of the Molten Empress. These Relics may only be given to Nidhoggr models and all other rules regarding Relics still apply.

• Crown of the Molten Lord: The signature feature of a hive tyrant who terrorized the worlds of the Mua'dha system, the beast was capable of making the earth burst into erratic eruptions of lava seemingly with just its roars. The chitin extrusions that form the so-called crown are actually only half of the mechanism, these horns are partially empty and act as a way for the bearer to sense minute vibrations in the ground; these vibrations are the true secret, as they are actually caused by a specific sub-type of Wyrms that, once in positions, detonate violently underground as a response to the leader beast's scream. This is not only effective in delivering damage and hitting high-priority targets but also acts as a form of psychological blow that leaves the wounded and those who got away paranoid for a new attack.

Once per battle, at the end of your opponent's Movement phase, you can choose up to three enemy units within 18" of the bearer and roll a D6. Subtract 1 from the result if the unit is a Character but add 1 if the unit contains 10 or more models. On a 4+ that unit suffers D3+1 mortal wounds; on a 7+ it suffers D3+3 mortal wounds instead. Units affected suffer a permanent penalty of 2 to their Leadership characteristic.

• Pyroclastic Hide: A peculiar adaptation, once widely found in many creatures of the hive fleet, that has now been deemed too demanding to be produced on mass. A mixture of pyroclastic materials and metallic composites covers the creature's skin and protects the bearer via controlled micro-bursts of energy; when a powerful attack threatens the beast, an innate reflex detonates the concoction in its entirety to deflect the blow. This extreme defensive mechanism can't be used in rapid succession though, and needs some time to recharge.

This model has a 4+ invulnerable save against attacks with a Strength characteristic of 8 or less. Once per battle round, when an attack with a Strength characteristic of 9 or more is made against this model, you may choose the detonate the pyroclastic hide; if you do, that attack is automatically saved. After that, until the beginning of the next battle round, you can't utilize the invulnerable save given by this Relic.

• The Devil's Implements: This infernal pair of a bonesword and lash whip has a crude history among many scorched worlds of the galaxy and was originally found on the Balor-class commanding organisms in the beginning years of the Nidhoggr. The two tools are sentient and dance with a mind of their own around the victim like vultures ready to strike; the smoldering whip burns the flesh, while a single touch of the curved blade overcharges the pain receptors to the point of bursting. Such horrific bio-weapons seem to feast on the pain they cause and like to finish their prey slowly, among their tortured screams of mercy.

Model equipped with monstrous bonesword only. This Relic replaces a monstrous bonesword and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
The Devil's Implements	Melee	Melee	+3	-4	3	When an enemy model is within Engagement Range of this model, each time it makes an attack it must subtract 1 from the hit rolls. In addition, if this weapon successfully wounds at least one enemy model, roll two D6 and compare the result to the target's Leadership characteristic; if the roll is equal or higher, that model's unit suffers D3 mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage.

Upgrade Biomorphs

To represent the strange adaptations of the Nidhoggr Hive Fleet, Nidhoggr Monster units in your army (that are not unique) may take any of the following biomorphs as upgrades.

• Geothermal Jets: In your Movement phase, if this model Remains Stationary or moves a total distance of less than half its Move characteristic, until the end of the turn, each time this model declares a charge, roll one additional D6 and discard one of the dice when making the charge roll. - +10 pts.
• Internal Furnace: This model gains the Internal Furnace keyword. In addition, roll a die each time this model destroys an enemy Vehicle during the Fight phase; on a 4+ that model regains D3 lost wounds. - +15 pts.

Available Biomorphs

The highly erratic nature of the Nidhoggr hive fleet differentiates it from other tendrils. Due to the intrinsic nature of the biomorphs present, the smaller types such as gaunts and genestealers wouldn't be able to survive the extreme internal heat. For this, the Norn Queen known as the Molten Empress privileges bigger organisms and has adapted new strains to fill the gaps of the discarded specimens.

While creating a Nidhoggr army, you may not include any of the following units: Broodlord, Old One Eye, The Swarmlord, Gargoyles, Hormagaunts, Termagants, Genestealers, Pyrovores, Parasite of Mortrex, Ripper Swarms and/or Sky-slasher Swarms.

You may instead include the following units: Garmriex, Linnorm, Surtr-Class Swarmlord, Suam'O, Ignis-Class Pyrovores, Wyrm Swarms and/or Magma Corer.

Peculiar Biomorphs

HQs

Garmriex

Garmriexes are a modified version of the genestealer genus, trading the synaptic and reproductive abilities of the broodlord for additional speed and fury. Instead of stalking the prey in the shadows, these biomorphs remain buried underground, inside ruined infrastructures or other places where unsuspecting victims may search for shelter. When a non-Tyranid organism draws too close, they burst from the ground and maul the unfortunate victim before burrowing back in wait.

This unit contains 1 Garmriex (Power Rating: 6).

This sub-species of Pyrovores mounts on its back a modified version of the usual Flamerspurt, capable of spraying molten material over a wide range or shooting a narrow beam of heat used to cut through the most resistant materials. This incredible energy, though, is narrowly contained inside the creature, and if struck with force can cause it to detonate in an instant.

Fast Attacks

Wyrm Pack

Due to the nature of the Nidhoggr's biology, smaller biomorphs such as rippers would quickly die from auto-combustion; to combat this, the Norn Queen of the fleet has engineered the Wyrms to fill the important biological niche. These overgrown worm-like creatures not only consume leftover biomass but also burrow deep underground to consume the precious materials needed for the fleet's sustenance.

This unit contains 3 Wyrms (Power Rating: 3). It can up to 3 additional Wyrms (Power Rating: +3) or up to 6 additional Wyrms (Power Rating: +6).

Lords of War

Magma Corer

Magma Corers are enormous Tyranid biomorphs engineered for planet consumption. These hulking monsters possess a shell a thousand times stronger than diamonds that makes them nigh-invulnerable to small arms fire and whose purpose is to enable the creature to dig into the planet's mantle and start a chain reaction that results in the detonation of multiple fault lines around the crust, breaking it apart and hampering the native forces' resistance. This process is fatal to the Magma Corer but it's a small price the Hive Mind is willing to pay. But their powerful strength isn't to be feared only up-close, debris, tanks, and even buildings are thrown by the creature thanks to its incredible limbs. A Magma Corer is a death sentence incarnated, for everyone and everything standing on solid ground.

This unit contains 1 Magma Corer (Power Rating: 100).
