The Tyranid Swarm is full of big creatures that make opponents fearful of them by appearance alone. I've spent my decades learning the types of bugs that a swarm has but to people not familiar with the different species they can be categorised as follows:
- Tiny bugs
- Carnifexes
- Things that could be a carnifex but they aren't sure about it
The biggest bugs are pretty fantastic to see sticking out of a collection but to me the biggest nasties are just that something extra. The Dimachaeron and Scythed Hierodule are those landmarks which stand out in Hive Fleet Genosaurer.
The Hierodule is glorious. The huge talons and jaw leads everyone to know its coming for their hardest armoured unit to crack it open like a pinata and watch the goodies pour out.
The Dimachaeron had become a popular unit prior to the Tyranid 9th Edition Codex with its high damage output and resilience. The giant gaping chest maw leads the imagination to think about all those delicious treats can devour.
