A clean 1,500-point list straight out of 4th Edition: the Monocarnifex!

This is my personal rework of a Tyranid army I fell in love with in a long-forgotten White Dwarf, and the reason I bought my very first Carnifex. I’m not sure this glorious excess of biomass will ever fully see the light of day on the hobby side…not that many models, but the cost adds up fast! Let’s put that in the “to-do” pile for now.

The strategy of the Hive Mind here isn’t exactly…sophisticated. So, we’ve got one flying Tyrant and one gun-beast Tyrant, three “light” Carnifexes (not biologically speaking) and three heavy Carnifexes. And no, not just because they’re Heavy Support instead of Elite, but because twenty inches of thick chitin should comfortably tank an Autocannon. Multi-Meltas? Yeah, let’s not talk about those…

The Ripper Swarms aren’t just compulsory units to make the Monocarnifex playable, they’re more like parasitic infestations clinging to the larger beasts. Think something halfway between cysts and symbiotes, basically a 4th Edition Tervigon. Actually, that might be a great conversion idea.

Battlenames and background for every big beast are coming soon!
