Tyranids Reveal- Swarming Masses


Tyranids get more reveals from Games Workshop today with the Swarming Masses rule


via WarCom

Hormagaunts, Termagants, and Gargoyles are rapacious locusts that swarm at the Hive Mind’s command – if locusts were about the size of a tiger and armed with organic bio-weaponry. This seething tide of mandibles, talons, guns, tails, and other errant limbs only grows in power when directed by cunning SYNAPSE creatures, forming a carpet of doom that covers the battlefield. 

Feeding so many hungry mouths can be a challenge. Ordinarily, models only get to fight if they’re within Engagement Range – or within ½” of a buddy who themselves is within ½” of the enemy. That’s great for chompy chonkers with big bases, like the Tyrant Guard, but how do you squeeze a whole swarm of little lads into nibbling range?

The Norn-Queens have spliced together a solution – the new Swarming Masses ability.
