The Tervigon and The Tyrannofex

I am now undertaking the daunting task of getting some more Tyranid monsters on the table.  Monsters take a lot longer to stat out because the math is a bit more involved what with the damage table and all.  Today I've got two big gross Tyranid monsters to add; the Tervigon, and the Tyrannofex.


The Tervigon has one special rule, and one psychic power.  I decided not to give it the Hero keyword because even though it's an HQ choice, it's never really struck me as being a character type of model (also, there's not really room left in that keyword bar).  Obviously, the most important things about the Tervigon are it spitting out Gaunts, and being a Psyker.  So it has the Catalyst psychic power to double down on buffing Gaunts.



The Tyrannofex is roughly what you'd expect.  It's got the same Stinger Salvo and Scything Talons setup as the Tervigon, but then instead of piling on the melee, it piles on the shooting.  The Tyrannofex can either take a Fleshborer Hive or a Rupture Cannon.  Take the Hive if you want to wade into combat, or the Rupture Cannon if you're more interested in being a living gun emplacement.
