The Hive Tyrant is a large and massively powerful Tyranid creature, the closest thing to a leader of a battlefield swarm yet seen. All Hive Tyrants are highly psychic, and their relationship to the hive mind is closer even than that of Tyranid Warriors. A Hive Tyrant takes up one HQ choice. The Box set contains a single Tyranid Hive tyrant with Venom cannon and Barbed Strangler weapon options and various alternative components.
