The Hive Mind has been hard at work developing new ways to claim biomass. Where the Tyranid Prime uses its wings to swoop down on prey, the Prime with a lash whip marches into battle alongside its Hormagaunts, Termagants, and Tyranid Warriors. Armed with its eponymous lash whip, a rending claw, and a pair of scything talons, the Prime excels in close combat, leaving nothing behind except corpses to be claimed by the Rippers.
