Warhammer 40k: Tyranids: Von Ryan's Leapers

Warhammer 40k: Tyranids: Von Ryan's Leapers

The Hive Mind has numerous ways of waging war – overwhelming the foe with hordes of Termagants, melting bastions apart with the living artillery of the Tyrannofex, or by ambushing with more subtle fear-inducing organisms such as the Lictor. Added to this last list are the Von Ryan’s Leapers.* These creatures are the ultimate ambush predators, though they’re just as dangerous when jumping out from behind things that aren’t bushes. Von Ryan’s Leapers are swift, agile, and utterly lethal. When the time is right, they emerge to eviscerate their unfortunate enemies in a murderous fury. As ambush predators, they have much in common with Lictors, but rather than being lonewolves, these are pack-hunters.
