Tyranid Rules Leak


Rules for the Dimachaeron were uncovered today at 40k Open Day, and pictures are leaking across the internet of what this new Tyranid Monster is bringing to the table. Definitely a nice model.


Here is a leaked image of the new Dimachaeron rules that I thought was originally on the Mexican Ork. I didnt see it just now, so here is a different link.
