Warp Field is an invisible psychic shield constantly projected around a Zoanthrope to protect itself from enemy attacks. The field is usually invisible except for a slight shimmer when it activates to absorb or deflect incoming fire.⁴
Warp Lance is a psychic attack consisting of the Hive Mind's energy channeled through a Zoanthrope into a focused stream of Warp energy with enough power to punch through fortress walls or vapourise a battle tank.¹
Warp Blast is a powerful psychic attack used by Zoanthropes, or sometimes Hive Tyrants ², by focusing the energy of the Hive Mind through it's oversized cranium until it arcs out as a blast of pure Warp energy.¹

Dominion is a psychic power that channels and amplifys the Synaptic will of the Hive Mind through a Tervigon to bring a greater number of lesser Tyranid organisms under its control.¹
Onslaught is a psychic power that allows a Tervigon to seize control of the Bio-weapon symbiotes carried by its minions, guiding their fire whilst also relentlessly forcing the minions forward undistracted by their weapons.¹
Catalyst is a psychic power projected by Tervigons to flood the systems of lesser Tyranid creatures under its command, pushing them with unnatural vitality to ignore the most grievous wounds.¹

Leech Essence is a psychic power displayed by some Hive Tyrants that allows the creature to feed upon the life force of their enemies and put it to a better use regenerating their own flesh.¹
Paroxysm is a psychic power, exhibited by some Hive Tyrants, that triggers every nerve and pain receptor in a target's body, debilitating the victim by overwhelming their senses with pure agony.¹
Psychic Scream is a psychic power utilised by some Hive Tyrants that manifests as a piercing shriek of psychic energy directly in the minds of the weak-willed, distracting, scaring or even possibly driving insane all but the strongest foes.^1,³
The Horror is a powerful psychic power seen on some Hive Tyrants, and sometimes Zoanthropes, that leaks from the creature to invade the minds of its enemies with a terrifying sentience so alien that all they can do is panic with fear.

Hypnotic Gaze is a Broodlord's psychic power which reduces its victim to a helpless wreck by subverting their willpower and smothering their conscious mind.¹
