Tyranid Warrior
From Lexicanum
Tyranid Warriors are synaptic foot troops of the Hive Fleets. Warriors are among the most important Tyranids in battle, as not only are they powerful and deadly creatures, they are synapse creatures, directing lesser creatures and forming the focal points of the Hive Mind.
They are large creatures but smaller than the massive Hive Tyrants. They are fast and powerful, with the capability to be strong at ranged combat or in close quarters in a similar fashion to the Hive Tyrant.
The Tyranid Warrior (gladius) is a species of the Warrior (tyranicus tyranicii) genus. The gladius species itself is highly adaptable to any battle role, with over 212 known variants - combining flying, walking, leaping biomorphs, with biological ranged weapons or assault symbiotes like scything talons or rending claws or both.
