Special Rules
Before the Tyranid forces are deployed, roll a D6 for each brood and each individual model. On a roll of 1-3, the model or brood must be deployed in the deployment zone, but on a roll of 4+, you may choose to deploy the model(s) within 6" of either the left or right table edge. All Tyranid forces may be set up Hidden, even if they are not in or behind cover. Any Tyranids with a ranged attack may also deploy in Overwatch.

Note: This is a special scenario. The opposing player must discard their mission cards and automatically wins if the Tyranid player fails to achieve their primary objective. Because this scenario represents a sustained assault, the battle lasts six turns instead of the usual four.
Special Rules
Tyranid attacks occur in successive waves. Each time a Tyranid model is slain, place it to one side. Models from the Individuals and Support section of the army list can be brought back into play at the start of the next Tyranid turn. Models from the Broods section of the army list can only be brought back once enough models have been killed to form a new unit. At the start of each Tyranid turn, Roll a D6 for each unit that eligable to enter play. On a 1, they may not enter play that turn; otherwise, they may deployed on the Tyranid's table edge.
