TYRANID FORGOTTEN FLEETS: RAMBLIN' SNAPPER

	Pts	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Ramblin' Snapper	37	4	-	5	4	2	4	3	10	6+

Like many other off-shoots of the Tyranid genus, the Ramblin' Snapper has adapted to its environment very well. This powerful beast can be found on many worlds, especially in the jungles of Death Worlds. Although unusually stealthy for its size and form, the Snapper's favourite tactic is to build up a little speed and trample its prey before employing its massive claws to tear them apart. This strategy is quite sound against fearful animals and those not trained to stand their ground. However, the clumsiness of this top-heavy bipedal creature can be used against it. Imperial troops that have more than a moment to react can usually dodge the beast's initial charge and can often destroy it before it gets its bearing and returns to finish the job. If they don't see the initial charge, though...

SIZE LOCOMOTION Medium – 9 pts. Bipedal – 0 pts. ATTRIBUTES ABILITIES Extra Attack (x2) – 8 pts. Resilient – 10 pts. Strong – 3 pts.  Razor-sharp Claws – 7 pts.

Assembly – Ken: The hardest part about this conversion was clipping off the legs of the Squig so that the clipped Tyranid legs could fit. By adding a second glue point on the base, I avoided having to pin the right Tomb Scorpion claw, although I was not so lucky with the one on the left. After that, it was just a matter of flattening the root of the Tyranid arms so that they could easily join to the Squig body. In the end, it was a quick-and-easy critter!

TYRANID FORGOTTEN FLEETS: KROMLOK DANGLER

	Pts	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Kromlok Dangler	37	5	-	4	4	1	6	1	10	6+

The Kromlok Dangler is an exceptionally dangerous Tyranid variant found only in the mountainous regions of the planet for which it was named. Hiding in the craggy peaks by day, this swift beast uses its exceptional vision to hunt after the sun has set. In complete silence, the terrifying beast swoops down on its prey, skewering it with the barb extending from its torso. Quite often, if the victim is small enough, the Kromlok Dangler can use its momentum to lift the prey up into the air and home to feed its young. Not many Kromlok Danglers have been brought down, so it is difficult to estimate how large they can actually get. The largest specimen subdued to date measured 5 metres and is estimated to have had an in-flight carrying capacity of approximately 65 kg. As men much larger have gone missing on Kromlok, one can only assume that much larger Danglers prowl the mountains of Kromlok.

SIZE LOCOMOTION Medium – 9 pts. Winged – 10 pts. ATTRIBUTES ABILITIES Predator – 2 pts. Quick Reflexes (x2) – 2 pt. Deadly Attack – 6 pts. Hit and Run – 8 pts.

Assembly – Ken: This is a pretty basic conversion if you know how to use the pin vice. These wings won't stay on without a wire holding them. Trust me! I filed the metal above the Terradon wing holes so that it was flat to create a good surface for gluing. After pinning the wings, the rest was easy. I glued and inserted the Tyranid arms into the readily available wing holes and then began working on the dangling barb. I cut a sizeable piece off of the dragon tail and filed it to fit nicely onto the chest of the Terradon. I pinned this bit as well, although it might have stayed attached if I kept it steady long enough. The last thing I did was chop off the Terradon's head and add a replacement from the new Genestealer sprue.

TYRANID FORGOTTEN FLEETS: ARENEA STALKER

	Pts	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Arenea Stalker	55	5	-	4	4	2	6	1	10	5+

Asteroids are common throughout the Imperium, though only a few contain enough resources to justify a mining expedition. The Adeptus Mechanicus ran across one such rock drifting between systems in the Mordant Zone. Cataloged as TK421, the Techpriests deemed this asteroid worthy of exploitation and later sent a mining barge to process it. The operation began as normal, with the lowly Tech Adepts guiding their near-mindless servitors in the creation of a network of tunnels connecting the various ore deposits. Once the tunnels were done, though, things began going awry. First, a few servitors failed to return to the maintenance bay on schedule. Then more than 20 went missing. Perplexed, the Tech Adepts ventured into the lattice of tunnels to find their servitors. Soon they had followed the missing servitors' preprogrammed paths until their end, where the Tech Adepts found webbing drifting in the zero-gravity corridor. Only their recording servo-skull returned to the docked barge to show what the Tech Adepts had discovered.

Assembly – Bryan: Spiders are creepy and so are Tyranids, which makes them a perfect combination. I used the new Tyrant Guard for the main body of this zero-G arachnid. It already has six slots for appendages, so I just glued in six of the classic Hormagaunt Rear Claws. The final two legs I attached at the waist with superglue. Once that dried, I covered the joint with Green Stuff and voila: big bad bug.

TYRANID FORGOTTEN FLEETS: DEBILITHRAX

Debilithrax	43	5	-	4	5	1	6	1	10	5+

The Debilithrax was discovered on the desert world of Erakeen by a Tallarn Raider patrol – only one of the Guardsmen returned to tell the tale to his regimental HQ. The patrol had set up their hygrotents in the shadow of a rocky outcropping for the midday heat and posted guards. The sleeping Tallarns only warning was the soft thud of the guards' venom-filled corpses as they struck the sand. Rolling out of the their tents with lasguns at the ready, the Tallarn confronted only the empty desert. Worse, the bodies of their comrades could not be found – only two craters remained in the sand. Clearly rattled, the Tallarn wanted to break camp, but they couldn't risk the moisture loss of moving at noontime. Instead, the Guardsmen took up defensive positions in their tents to wait out the sun. Soon, a rustle. Then, a strangled gurgle followed by the swish of sand. The surviving Tallarn couldn't stand it anymore and broke out of his tent – only to see the last of his neighbours' tents disappear beneath the sand in a scrabble of translucent tan claws. Shouldering his lasgun, the last Tallarn ran for his life.

Assembly – Bryan: Obviously, my inspiration for this conversion was the nimble and oft-lethal scorpion. I've had to squish a few in the past, and I can tell you that they are fast, tough, sneaky, and mean. I used the Tyranid Warrior body and arced the tail up more than normal to get my scorpion tail. Next, I added eight Hormagaunt arms to look like legs. Six of them could fit in the Warrior body sockets, but I had to shave down the ends of the other two and glue them in at the waist joint of the body. I covered up this sloppy connection with Green Stuff. The head is just a classic Lictor head pinned in place and given a Green Stuff neck. For the tail barbs, I just used the flesh hooks from the Warrior sprue and blended them into the tail with a little more Green Stuff.
