Tyranids: Neurolictor

The Neurolictor is a nastier, sneakier cousin of the Lictor an eyeless horror that hides in plain sight and projects a neural disruption field, scrambling enemy minds and leaving them wide open just as your swarm crashes in. It’s a small model with an outsized effect on the game, and a delightfully grotesque one to paint, all swollen brain and barbed feeder tendrils.
