Tyranid Hierodules are equally dangerous in close combat and at range. Their Bio-Cannon can destroy infantry and vehicles at good range, and Crushing Claws rip through anything foolish enough to come within reach.

Trygon
Tyranid Trygons is a large, heavily armoured creature with huge Scything Talons and a Bio-Electric Field that can tear through infantry at short range. It can strike in unexpected positions, infiltrating enemy lines with ease.
Malefactor
Tyranid Malefactors are close support specialists that shoot razor sharp projectiles from their arms. Scores of enemies can fall to the Malefactor’s attack.
Exocrine
Tyranid Exocrines are living, direct fire cannons that fire streams of venom at an impressive rate. Their heavy armour provides good protection, allowing them to stay in the fight longer.
Dactylis
Tyranid Dactylis lob Heavy Spore Mines a decent range into enemy positions, causing widespread damage and disruption. They have good armour for artillery, and are also quite mobile.
Spore Mine Cluster
Spore Mine Clusters float around the battlefield, causing damage and disruption to infantry, vehicles, and aircraft.
Biovore
Tyranid Biovores fire Spore Mines from organic artillery mounted on a dorsal location of thier body. They are fairly short range, but can fire indirectly, and the Spore Mines cause signifcant disruption.
Raveners
Tyranid Raveners are primarily close combat creatures who can burrow underground to attack anywhere on the battlefield, Scything Talons ripping through even the toughest armour. They also have weak ranged attack with which to provide support in engagements.
Lictor
Tyranid Lictors attack without warning, using their Scything Talons to eviscerate enemies without taking a blow in return. Their attacks are equally potent against infantry and armour.
Genestealers
Genestealers are fast, powerful close combat troops that can devastate enemy lines before they know what’s hit them. They have excellent range for getting into engagements, so woe betide an enemy that strays even moderately close.
