Hierophant

Hierophant is a Monsters unit in the Tyranids faction for Warhammer 40k.

Hierophants are gargantuan specimens of Tyranid adaptation, created to rival the largest war machines and annihilate any resistance. Towering over the battlefield on spined legs that skewer tanks with ease, these apex-beasts spray foes with devastating bio-weapons, their thick chitinous plating making them almost impervious to injury.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: bio-plasma torrent; 2 dire bio-cannons; lashwhip pods; titanic scything talons.
