Tyranid Titans

Tyranid Titans

In the fictional "Warhammer 40,000" setting, the Tyranids are a nomadic alien race comprising many genetically engineered forms. The Titans are various biological subgroups of the Tyranids.]

There are Hierophant models for both for "Warhammer 40,000" (from Forge World)] They are similar in appearance to the Dactylus.] They have a biocannon for a weapon and they operate as a heavy flyer and a transport, making them able to drop off troops and raid enemy positions with air attacks.] They also have strong psychic powers.

There are models for the Malanthrope in "Warhammer 40,000" (from Forge World).]

They have models for "Epic". In "Epic", they are an "independent swarm."

Norn Queen

Norn Queens, as described in the novel Warriors of Ultramar, fill the role of the "queen" of the hive, similar to that of a queen ant. They have no models or rules in the game, and as far as it is known, they are bound to the hive ship and cannot leave it. They control the making of new Tyranids and psychically communicate with the other Tyranids. A Norn queen is always the most protected part of the ship, so humans have little data on them. However, it is noted in "Codex: Tyranids" that the death of a Norn Queen will destroy the synaptic abilities of the Tyranids to communicate, rendering them barely-sentient beasts: the death of the Norn Queen at Tarsis Ultra caused the entire Tyranid swarm to turn on each other.

"Codex Tyranids" states that when a Norn Queen is killed, the psychic signal of its death causes hive ships to calve, creating more Norn Queens. This is known as the "Hydra effect".cite book|title=Warhammer 40,000 Codex: Tyranids|first=Phil|last=Kelly|coauthors=and Chambers, Andy|year=2004|edition=3rd Edition|publisher=Games Workshop|location=Nottingham|id=ISBN 1-84154-650-X]
