Tyrannocyte
Tyranids datasheet · 1 model — 80 points, 1 model — 90 points
Tyrannocytes are huge spores, heat-resistant to endure atmospheric re-entry and with wet, pulsing interior chambers within which broods of organisms can ride down to a world’s surface. Once its passengers spill forth into battle, the Tyrannocyte drifts skyward again and goes hunting for its own prey.
