Zoanthropes

Tyranids datasheet · 3 models — 90 points, 6 models — 190 points

A Zoanthrope’s physical form is given over to harnessing the might of the Hive Mind. Not only do they act as synapse nodes, but they can also draw upon the energies of the Hive Mind to unleash searing psychic blasts, and to generate fields of defensive power that can stop an artillery shell dead.
