Tyranid Zoanthrope

A Tyranid Zoanthrope

Zoanthropes are perhaps the strangest of the Tyranid's myriad breeds. They are powerful psykers, apparently engineered from harvested Eldar DNA to form living conduits for the focused power of the Tyranid Hive Mind. So extreme is their development that their atrophied bodies and bulbous heads are entirely energized by psychic force. They can shoot an extremely powerful Warp blast and rival the Eldar in their psychic prowess. They can move only by psychically levitating themselves, drifting across the battlefield to rain bolts of incandescent psychic power on the enemy or relay the Synapse commands of the Hive Mind to its lesser breeds.

Zoanthropes are without a doubt one of the more effective psychic creatures in a Tyranid army. They are not without defense as their Warp blast psychic power can even kill the mighty Space Marines. Zoanthropes are a 'must have' unit in a swarm full of smaller Tyranid breeds as they have extended synaptic control and provide hard-hitting attacks.
