Psychophage

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

Points: 110.

These monsters stampede into battle with frightening speed. They devour any prey organism in their paths, but especially favour those victims with psychic abilities. How they metabolise such esoteric powers is unclear, but doing so allows them to project surges of psychocorrosive ash that deflagrate their victims’ minds and souls.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: psychoclastic torrent; talons and betentacled maw.
