Tyrant Guards

The Tyrant Guard (Tyranicus scutatus) is a Tyranid bioform whose main purpose is to serve as a living shield for other, more important Tyranid organisms, particularly the Hive Tyrant. These creatures have an incredible resistance to injury and are only dimly aware of pain, shrugging off wounds that would blow a man apart. They are all but impervious to small arms fire, and should heavy weaponry be brought to bear, several salvoes are required to fell even one of these beasts.
