Devouring Swarm
The Devouring Swarm is one of the main attack swarms designed to devour the enemy as quickly as possible. Controlled by three groups of Tyranid Warriors armed with Death Spitters and Scything claws, they drive the mass of Termagants forward blasting away with their Flesh Borers and Devourers, absorbing any incoming fire. Once close with the enemy, the wave of Hormagaunts leap over to engage with their talons. The two Carnifex joins the carnage, heading towards the tougher enemy.
Tyranid Warriors
The Tyranid Warriors are the synapse creatures that link this swarm with the Hive Mind and are the driving force of this Devouring Swarm. All armed with Death Spitters to provide supporting fire advancing behind the swarm and only engaging the enemy with Scything Claws once the swarm drives into the heart of the enemy..
Carnifex
The two Carnifex that form the heavy hitters of the Devouring Swarm. Their primary objective is to get into close combat and take out the heavier opponents or cause mayhem. The first has an adrenal gland and a tail mace while the second has tusks and a tail scythe. Both have four scything claws.
Hormagaunts
The small group of Hormagaunts advance behind the Termagants, purely so that they can leap over and engage the enemy with their deadly talons.
Termagants
The Termagants are numerous in the Devouring Swarm as their sole purpose is to absorb incoming fire so that their breathen can deliver the killing blow. Each carrying a Fleshborer, they can deliver their own salvo of sharp-fanged borer deadly beetles while they advance.
