The Tyranid Tyrannofex is a massive, heavily armored Tyranid monster that serves as a mobile weapons platform, bristling with fearsome bio-weaponry. Described as a "living battle fortress," its weaponry is designed to destroy enemy vehicles and other heavy targets from long range.
Physical description
Armored plating: The creature is protected by thick, overlapping layers of chitinous armor that can rival the resilience of an armored battle tank.
Stance: It stands on four powerful limbs, two of which end in hooved feet while the others have sharp, arrow-like points.
Carapace: Its outer shell has segmented sections and features vents that resemble chimneys.
Tail: It possesses a long, segmented chitinous tail.
Size: The model is large and bulky, standing lower to the ground but having more mass than a winged Hive Tyrant.
Bio-weaponry
A Tyrannofex is defined by its massive, torso-mounted bio-cannon, the largest type of weapon carried by any Tyranid bioform smaller than a Bio-Titan. Different variants of this weapon are grown by the Hive Mind for specific battlefield roles.
Rupture Cannon: This long-range weapon fires two symbiotic organic projectiles in rapid succession. The first is a tick-like organism that coats the target in a viscous oil, followed by an impact seedpod that dissolves and causes a massive implosion powerful enough to destroy armored vehicles.
Fleshborer Hive: This weapon is a teeming colony of the same beetle-like creatures found in a Termagant's fleshborer. It continuously ejects swarms of borer beetles at high velocity, capable of overwhelming targets with a massive volume of fire.
Acid Spray: This weapon stores and sprays immense quantities of corrosive digestive fluids. This acid can melt through enemy armor and flesh with horrifying speed.
Stinger Salvo: As secondary weaponry, the Tyrannofex can also be equipped with Stinger Salvos, which fire volleys of needle-like stingers at closer ranges.
Battlefield role
Anti-tank specialist: With the Rupture Cannon, the Tyrannofex is a premier long-range anti-vehicle unit in a Tyranid army.
Tank killer: The Rupture Cannon variant is a specialized vehicle destroyer, while the Acid Spray is effective against heavily-armored infantry.
Living fortress: As a highly durable and heavily armed monster, the Tyrannofex is meant to be a slow-moving, long-range powerhouse that can absorb significant enemy fire.
Weakness in melee: Due to its immense size, the Tyrannofex can be clumsy in close combat and may attract other Tyranid bioforms to its defense by emitting stress pheromones if it finds itself in a long melee.
Tyrannofex vs. Tervigon
The Games Workshop kit for the Tyrannofex can also be built as a Tervigon, a Tyranid monster with a distinctly different battlefield role.
Tyrannofex: A ranged, offensive powerhouse designed to destroy enemy vehicles and armored targets.
Tervigon: A support unit that can spawn new Termagants to bolster the ranks of the Tyranid horde.
