'''Carnifexes''' are huge, hulking living battering rams employed by the forces of the [[Tyranids]]. They can be even stronger than the [[Hive Tyrant]]s and can be armed with a wide variety of symbiotic weaponry and as such are used for assaulting fortified positions and tank formations. They are also useful in boarding large ships where there are large corridors <sup>1</sup>.
==Old One Eye==
{{IntWik|Destination=Einauge}}[[Image:Oldoneeye.jpg|thumb|left|Old One Eye art work by Games Workshop.]]'''Old One Eye'''<sup>3</sup> is a [[Tyranid]] creature of the [[Carnifex]] genus recovered from the ice-packs of [[Calth]] in the empire of [[Ultramar]]. Its release from the ice heralded a series of Tyranid raids on that world and legends persist that the creature had somehow summoned the hive mind back to plague Ultramar once again. The eventual fate of Old One Eye is unknown, but there have been several other reports of lone, injured Carnifexes on other worlds which proved to be just as deadly. On several occasions Old One Eye manifested the disturbing ability to heal damage inflicted on it during combat. This has given rise to theories of it being an unstable mutation abandoned by the [[Hive Mind]], (an experiment in rapid cell regrowth) but with the arrive of the [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] this mutation is become nearly a standard on every Carnifex.
Old One Eye is armed with a pair of huge, crab-like claws capable of ripping even the hardest foe to pieces.
