Three new Lictor variants are here for the Tyranids, including the Deathleaper and Neurolictor for Warhammer 40k 10th Edition.
The Sneaky Games Workshop Oghram Preview was on July 15th, for upcoming Warhammer 40k factions in 10th Edition!
Sneaky 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Oghram Preview
As the dust settles, we’re totting up the results, counting every spent shell case, weighing all the biomass, and surveying the lasting damage left by such unprecedented carnage.
The final results will be revealed on Saturday the 15th of July during a special preview for all of the new miniatures from the side who won.
Starting at 9am EST this is one of the better times for a preview across the world we’ve seen in a while. In contrast, the west coast of the USA will have to get up quite early.
Tyranids Introduce 3 Game-Changing Lictor Variants for 10th Edition 40k
Straight from Warhammer Community, here’s the latest on the three new Lictor variants including the Deathleaper and Neurolictor for Warhammer 40k 10th Edition.
Tyranids Lictor
Larger than the Von Ryan’s Leapers, Lictors have been a mainstay of the Tyranid forces since their introduction into Warhammer 40,000. They are agile hunters with chameleonic skin, and two huge crescent talons attached to powerful arms that can effortlessly split a Space Marine in two, no problem.
When they’ve slayed their foe, they use their writhing feeder tendrils to suck out their brain matter, somehow ingesting the knowledge held by their foes which they impart to the Hive Mind.
With lore as cool as slurping up brain juice, a new model was certainly in order, and it looks great. In-game it is said to have precision strike, re-rolls, and a Command Point gaining ability if you kill a character!
The red color scheme makes all the details pop and increase the dark aura around what these monsters are capable of.
Tyranids Neurolictor
The Hive Mind has not rested on its sinewy laurels since creating the perfect assassin however. Carefully orchestrated evolution has created a new strain of Lictor, a psychological horror whose highly developed neural organs emit a wave of psychic dread that causes even the most iron-willed warriors to experience an atavistic terror response.
These psychic abilities grant them the ability to mask their presence by confounding their enemy’s senses, rendering them hapless when the main Tyranid force arrives to finish the job.
On the more psychic side of things, the Neurolictor brings even more psychic support to an already teeming suite of supportive characters for Tyranid players!
And of course, if the new model and rules themselves weren’t exciting enough, the model is fantastic to boot!
The apex of the Lictor bioform is the Deathleaper, a rare evolution that has stalked battlefields for decades now like some chitinous spectre. It’s even evolved to get a cool flesh cape, striking an even more fearsome figure than ever before.
While all of these creatures can find a home in the standard Invasion Force Detachment, they excel in the Vanguard Assault Detachment – one of the new Detachments you can look forward to in Codex: Tyranids.
Focused on sowing terror within enemy ranks before blindsiding them with lighting-fast flanking assaults, this Detachment allows Deathleaper to take up the role of Warlord, using goading imperatives to coordinate its allies in lethal assaults.
Lastly, there’s a new HQ-esque Deathleaper, with an amazing design thanks to that flowing camo trenchcoat aesthetic. A new Detachment with it at the head is sure to make some heads roll.
