Warrior Bioform Onslaught: The New 1-DP Tyranids Warrior Detachment (11th Edition)

Your Tyranid Warriors with Ranged Bio-weapons and with Melee Bio-weapons gain the Battleline keyword and, while not Battle-shocked, Objective Control 3 — and Tyranid Warriors and Tyranid Prime models gain a 5+ invulnerable save. That combination fixes the two classic Warrior weaknesses: they now score like troops and shrug off AP. A Warrior spine also keeps your synapse web alive, steadying the rest of the swarm.

• Spontaneous Hypercorrosion (Shooting/Fight) — +2 Strength to a unit's ranged weapons (and +1 to Warrior melee). A big damage spike.
• Synaptic Amplification (Shooting/Fight) — re-roll Wound rolls of 1 (Warriors also re-roll Hit rolls of 1), extendable to a nearby gaunt block.
• Parasitic Payload (Shooting) — a ranged Warrior unit ignores cover and strips Benefit of Cover from a target.
• Alien Physiology (defensive) — -1 to Wound against a Warrior unit from high-Strength attacks.
• Restorative Impulse (Command) — return a destroyed model to a Warrior unit.
• Synaptic Micronodes — make a Warrior-held objective sticky.

• Synaptic Tyrant (Neurotyrant) — lets a Neurotyrant lead a Warrior unit, adding wounds, synapse and psychic output. Widely a near-auto-include.
• Ocular Adaptation (Prime) — +1 to Hit for the bearer's unit.
• Sensory Assimilation (Prime) — -1 to be hit for the bearer's unit.
• Elevated Might (Prime) — melee re-rolls to Wound and +1 AP (confirm the exact 11th-edition wording).

• Tyranid Warriors with Melee Bio-weapons — a Battleline brick that, with the 5++ and OC3, becomes a durable objective-holder and melee threat.
• Tyranid Warriors with Ranged Bio-weapons — a Battleline ranged brick; Parasitic Payload gives Ignores Cover and cover-denial.
• Tyranid Prime — the detachment leader; gains the 5++ and carries the key enhancements to buff a Warrior unit.
• Neurotyrant — with Synaptic Tyrant it leads a Warrior unit, adding wounds, synapse and psychic output.

Take it as a cheap 1-DP framework when you want durable Tyranid Warrior bricks as Battleline objective-holders — either as the spine of a Warrior-centric army or as a resilient, synapse-carrying support bolted onto a 2-DP core. The single DP and Battleline-enabling rule make it easy to slot.

Sample gameplan: field multiple Warrior bricks (mix of melee and ranged) led by Primes and a Neurotyrant. Push them onto objectives where the 5++, OC3 and Synaptic Micronodes make them sticky and hard to shift. Use Alien Physiology defensively against high-Strength shooting, Restorative Impulse to claw back models, and Spontaneous Hypercorrosion plus Synaptic Amplification on the turn you commit to killing a target. Ranged Warriors use Parasitic Payload to strip cover from a key enemy unit.
