Unit Type: Monstrous Creature
Unit Composition: 1 Tyrannocyte
Weapons & Biomorphs: 5 Deathspitters
Special Rules: Deepstrike, Fearless, Instinctive Fire
Drifting Death: Tyrannocytes cannot run or charge. They can consolidate, but may not make a sweeping advance
Transport Spore: A Tyrannocyte does not use up a slot on the Force Org Chart. It can carry a single unit with the Tyranid Faction and has a transport capacity of 20- Monstrous Creatures count as 20 for the purposes of transport capacity. Declare which unit is being carried during deployment.
A Tyrannocyte always enters play using the deep strike rules. If when a Tyrannocyte Deep Strikes it scatters on top of impassible terrain or another model friend or foe, reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required to avoid the obstacle.
Once a Tyrannocyte DS, a unit carried in it must disembark. Place the unit so that every model is w/in 6" of the Tyrannocyte and (Unreadable) are withing 1" of an enemy or withing impassible terrrain. Any model that cannot be placed is removed as a casualty. A unit cannot move or charge in the same turn it disembarks, but can run or shoot. No unit can embark in the Tyrannocyte for the rest of the game.
Options:
May replace all 5 deathspitters with the following
-5 Barbed Stranglers -25pts
-5 Venom Cannons- 25pts
SO It is really just a Tyranid Drop Pod/Whirlwind drop pod combo. For 75 points, it is pretty resilient and not very weak IMO. Especially since this is a really REALLY easy way to wrack up line breaker and other maelstrom points.
Another thing to notice is the Hive Fleet Leviathan paint scheme... perfect for the Shield of Baal: Leviathan release.
Like look like Multiple Zoanthropes pasted onto a Zerg overlord with a crown in the shape of Suaron's tower to me. Not saying that is bad, just what it first appears as.
