Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Tyranid Hive Guard

Product Information

The Shrouding Spores ability offered by Venomthropes and Forgeworld Malanthropes are a strong defensive option and we recommend it highly. Venomthropes are more generally available as standard kits, but they’re easier to target and destroy than Malanthropes. You’ll see Malanthropes fielded in a lot of competitive lists for this and other reasons but know that using one implies you’re shelling out for the specialty model and the Imperial Armour Compendium rulebook which increases your army cost a good deal.

Products may be sent out from multiple locations and therefore may arrive separately, but you won't incur additional delivery charges as a result. Norn-Queen • Hive Tyrant • Neurotyrant ( Neuroloid) • Broodlord • Neurothrope • Tervigon • Tyranid Prime • Trygon Prime • Malanthrope Seeing his own beehives being taken out by wasps made Kyle Atkinson – creator of HyfeGate TM– put his problem solving brain to work. The question was, why are robbing wasps and bees so successful? Why are the bees not able to defend themselves in certain circumstances? And what is the solution?Biovore • Tyrant Guard ( Hive Guard) • Lictor ( Neurolictor • Deathleaper) • Leaper • Pyrovore • Venomthrope • Zoanthrope If players want to play a seething mass of bodies then they have four options to choose from. All of these units are single wound models which can be reinforced by the Endless Swarm Stratagem. In contrast to 9th Edition, the maximum model count of these units has been capped at 20, so they’re slightly less swarm-tastic, but washing over people with a horde of gribblies is very much still available as a plan. As these towers and chimneys enable the Tyranids to achieve the ultimate goal of their planetary invasions, the Tyranids take particular care to defend these structures well. Indeed, the Hive Mind seems to have developed the Hive Guard specifically to fulfil the important function of standing watch over these towers. Typical of the ever-efficient Tyranids, Hive Guard have a very short incubation period and are spawned only when needed in the final stages of the harvest and only when the capillary towers and spore chimneys face an enemy threat. Per the rules what ever base the model came on is allowed. This means some models acept more then one sieze. These are creatures that the Magos Biologis believe exist, but for which there is no physical evidence.

Tyrant Guard are T8 and provide Feel No Pain 5+ to any model leading them. Their melee options are generally designed for killing elite infantry or chaff, although with the support of a Neurotyrant they could potentially threaten something a bit tougher. The bone cleaver and lash whip seem to be the most generally useful thanks to the [TWIN-LINKED] ability. Objective markers represent objects of tactical or strategic import that both sides are attempting to secure, such as valuable artefacts, vital supplies or communications nodes. If a mission uses objective markers, it will state where they are located on the battlefield. These can be represented using any suitable marker, but we recommend using round markers that are 40mm in diameter. The Tyrannocyte can carry up to 20 INFANTRY or one MONSTER with a Wounds characteristic of 12 wounds or less. Infantry models with more wounds take up the space of 3 models, so you can either carry 20 Termagaunts or 6 Zoanthropes. Regardless of any mission rules the unit can be set up in the first, second, or third turn. Once set up the embarked units must immediately disembark and cannot be set up within 9” of an enemy unit.The Tyrannocyte itself does have an OC 2 so you could potentially use it to deploy and then sit on a marker.

What’s Next

Hive Guards are NPCs that only spawns in Greathive Aratel. They wear a pair of Woodland Pauldrons and Woodland Boots along with a pair of Crystal Pendant Earrings. In addition, they also don a Grandmaster Pathfinder Cloak outfit. Similar to any other guard, killing one will give the player negative reputation with The Hive. This list makes the best of the two Start Collecting: Tyranid sets and two boxes of Termagants, giving you a decent core of Troops and good Synapse with some mean melee potential. You can use terrain to keep most of your models safe (or at least partially defended) and use the burrowing power of the Rippers and Trygon to spring a nasty second turn assault/objective capture. Using Synaptic Lure, your Trygons are going to have a decent chance of making combat from reserve at a rerollable 8″ charge. Fun, somewhat strong, and (important to a lot of players) relatively inexpensive. The Key Stratagems to consider here are Relentless Flurry for damage output (1/2 CP to score additional hits on unmodified 6s to hit, or 2 additional hits if you have 11+ models) and Hive Mind Imperative for Objective Control (1 CP to give a unit within 12” of a Synapse unit Objective Secured or count as +1 model if they already had ObSec and shoot while performing actions), which remains as key to the Tyranid Plan as ever. Purestrain Genestealers [8 PL, 155pts]: Cult Claws and Talons, Our Time is Nigh [1 PL, 15pts], 10x Purestrain Genestealer [140pts] The answer was to redesign the hive entrance. HiveGate™ is a completely new hive entrance design. It enhances the natural behaviour of bees and gives them the upper hand in defending themselves.

These are species that the Magos Biologis believe may be species that evolved from Tyranid that were left behind from failed Tyranid invasions. So you’ve selected a Hive Fleet and played a few games using a basic army, now is the time to consider dedicating yourself to a larger build and buying accordingly. If you’ve read around on the internet there’s a few builds that are popular, so you might already have an idea of where you want to go. Here’s a rundown of some specific builds and what you might want to consider purchasing to fill them out. It wouldn’t be a Tyranid army without a variety of slowly floating bags of pressurized death threatening to inflict mortal wounds on your enemies. Depending on how GW decides to FAQ things spore mines could either be game breaking or just another novelty.
