Tyranid Rules

Weapon ImmunitiesTyranids are curious genetic monstrosities which are completely unlike other humanoid life forms. As aresult, their physiology is naturally resistant to many types of weapons and effects. Unless a weapon or effect is specifically mentioned here, it effects all Tyranids normally.

FlamersTyranids caught on fire may ignore the flames and fight as normal. Note that they still take damage asnormal from the flames.

Needle Weapons, Shuriken Screamer AmmoTyranids are completely immune to these weapons.

Heavy Bolter Hellfire ShellsTyranids are vulnerable to this weapon and take damage as normal from it.

GrenadesTyranids are immune to Choke, Hallucinogen, care, To!in, and "irus grenades.

Conversion Field/ hoton Flash FlareTyranids count as Unprotected Troops against these devices# Tyranids recover from being blinded on a $%instead of the normal &%.

Smasha GunTyranid 'arriors, (oanthropes, and )ictors count as Terminator*si+ed targets. Hive Tyrants and Carnife!escount as readnought*si+ed targets.

ulsa !okkit, Shokk Attack GunAll Tyranids are counted as -foot troops against these weapons.

S"ui# CatapultTyranids not specifically mentioned count as -Tyranids and have a /% save against 0u++er s1uigs.

Tyranid ehicles!2sychic attacks on Tyranid "ehicles3 0olt of Change, Hammer of 4ury, 5ldritch trom, and Assail effectTyranid vehicles 65!ocrine, 7alefactor, Haruspe!, actylis, and Tyrgon8 as vehicles. "orte!, Aura of ecay, Ac1uiescence, 2ink 4ire of T+eench, 5!ecutioner, 9op is and a 9runch work as normal. The)eadership test*based powers such as omination, mite, courging, 0eam of laanesh, 2avane of laanesh and torm of 'rath, will apply to any Tyranid vehicle that is outside the range of a Hive Node6Tyranid 'arrior, and Hive Tyrant8. The Necron 2syker power Control "ehicle will not function on Tyranidvehicles.

Nesting3 Unless otherwise stated, when a Tyranid vehicle:s link with the Hive 7ind is severed, it will Nest.The model does not move, and is considered to be in ;verwatch# it will fire its weapons at the nearestenemy unit at the start of the ne!t 7ovement 2hase.

Mission Cardsue to the unusual nature of Tyranids, only the 5ngage and estroy, The Assassins, 'itch Hunt, Hold the)ine, and Take and Hold 7ission Cards may be taken against them. All others either do not apply or aresimply disallowed. Tyranids take their 7ission Card at random from the following list3

"i%e Classed'hen fighting the Tyranids, enemy models may ignore smaller targets for larger ones. 2rovided that themodels to be ignored are not within > of the attacker, the following classes of Tyranids may be ranked bysi+eGpriority. 6Note that all normal modifiers for ); and arcs of fire still apply83

Small *ar#ets2=ipper warms, pore 7ines

3onstrous Si+ed2Hive Tyrants, Carnife!es, )ictors, ;ld ;ne 5ye, the =ed Terror, Tyranid 'arriors, Tyrant uard, and(oanthopes

3onstrous Creatures2The models listed above as 7onstrous creatures use the following rules. They may hide behind any cover that a Iman si+ed: model can employ. They may move out of Hand To Hand combat in the movement

phase, without incurring any parting shots from the enemy# however, if they do so, they may not run or hide, but they may shoot or Charge a new unit in HtH.

&and to &and 'ulesTyranid models which engage in HtH may ignore the rules for unit coherency once they do so. However,once the Hand to Hand engagement is over, the model must return to its unit.

Tyranid models Hand to Hand attacks cannot be 2arried.

(nit CoherencyTyranid models not in HtH combat must obey all of the standard rules for unit coherency.

Units which are not immune to psychology and have models outside of unit coherency at the end of thegame treat these models as casualties for the purposes of awarding victory points# if the unit is entirely out

of coherency, it is considered to be 0rokenGdestroyed.

0roods which are immune to psychology and are outside of unit coherency at the end of the game areconsidered to be at &@J casualties for the purposes of awarding victory points, even if the entire unit is outof coherency.
