What Are LICTORS?! - INDEPENDANT TYRANIDS - Apex Hunters And SPIES Of The Swarm In Warhammer40k!

Cthulu-nid hell no

"What is a lictor?"
Sneaky furry.

so that's why the first lictor was a boss fight in space marine 2. it ate the brains of the other space marines.

How the fuck does anyone actually fight tyranids

I remember hearing that for all intents and purposes every lictor of a fleet is that same loctor

All I see is tinder for my multi-melta

I hated it ever since the second encounter of it, now its name is Licma

Can mechanicususes finally do the heresy and adapt Necron's rays? God I hate tyranids.

Bro is this why I got an attacked by a lictor as Titus and I almost killed it, then it left and I encountered it again later in the mission?

Hits with thunder hammer* Haha smart squid go squish 😂

So basically Chinese coming to the western countries....

Genestealers > Lictor

I thought this was going to be something related to the Ligma.

They are purple so obviously they are hard to see

every lictor be stealthy till an Auspex scan comes along

"can i pet that dawg?"

warhammer has to be the most metal series ever

Psychic assassin Cthulhu monsters with active camouflage?

That’s fucking awesome

Yum brain smoothies

Ahhh, the cousin of the ligma xenos! 😂

I fell like if a Lictor ate my memories it would quickly vomit 😂

In summary, they're Tyranid versions of the predator or vice versa

Lictors are what sky marbo hunts for breakfast every morning .

so what comes first lictors or genestealers?

What about ligma??

Lictors are still Tyrannids thus stinky. Checkmate

How can it be intelligent individually if it is a hive mind? Must not be much of a hive eh

So they do the same thing as gene stealers?

Lictor is an anagram to clitor

So do these ones suss out if a world is a Necron Tomb world since Tyranids avoid them like the plague because at best if they steamroll the Necrons they won’t gain much if anything besides learning about Necron tactics and abilities but suffer a net loss of biomass or at worse the Necrons steamroll them and that hive fleet could theoretically be wiped out due to Necron weapons atomizing Tyranids and once again they are not able to quickly replenish any losses due to lack of biomass?

So the big brain strat when detecting that a lictor is about to land is making the entire surrounding area seem worthless and poor in biomass to trick him into not callimg his buddies

Lictors were such a pain in the ass in space marine 2

A pain in the ass. That's what they are.

Ehh deathleapers r better

If I had a throne gelt for every time
I heard of an "apex tyranid" I'd be
governor of a hive world.

Someone at GW was probably like - "Hey what if we take a Mindflayer tadpole from D&D and stuck it in a Tyranid Ripper then gave it active camo and made it bigger?"



Assuming that the Illithid lore predates the Lictor anyway...

Cthulhu ninjas

“independEnt”, not “independAnt”

I'm not sure if people of those few lucky planets should either be relieved or offended the hivemind wasn't interested in their planets.

Basically mind flayers who lift

Me screaming "lick her" at my fellow space marine as he stands there confounded

Lictor? I hardly know her.

Titus will single handedly wipe the entire lot of you and your dog

Why are they called Lictors?

Why out of all Tyranids they have octopus faces?

Lictor my balls.

I remember fighting Lictors in Warhammer 40K dawn of war and it was just awful especially when they use flesh hooks and instantly kill my troops

You ain’t smart enough to not get parried squidward!

It should also be noted that not only are lictors smarter than humans and capable of very quickly picking up on visual and audio cues done by humans, but they are also willfully malicious and enjoy tormenting and torturing certain victims, so much so that they will leave a victim alive, coming back to harass them each evening and showing delight in the suffering of the individual before eventually, one day soon after, ending their life.

I’d win

Lictor? I barely know her!

Top 3 Tyranids for sure
