TEXT: TYRANID HIVE FLEETS
  THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS
  These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Tyranid Hive Fleets miniatures. 
  Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and 
  special abilities it may have.
  KEYWORDS
  Throughout these datasheets you will come 
  across the <Hive Fleet> keyword. This is 
  shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as 
  described below.
  <HIVE FLEET>
  All Tyranids belong to a hive fleet. If a Tyranid 
  Hive Fleets datasheet does not specify which 
  hive fleet it is drawn from, it will have the 
  <Hive Fleet> keyword. When you include 
  such a unit in your army, you must nominate 
  which hive fleet that unit is from. You then 
  simply replace the <Hive Fleet> keyword in 
  every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the 
  name of your chosen hive fleet.
  For example, if you were to include a 
  Malanthrope in your army, and you decided it 
  was from Hive Fleet Kraken, then its <Hive 
  Fleet> Faction keyword is changed to 
  Kraken, and its Shrouding Spores ability would 
  then say ‘Friendly Light Kraken and Heavy 
  Kraken units have the Stealth ability whilst 
  they are within 6" of this unit.’
  
  A Malanthrope is a unit that contains 1 model. It is equipped with: Grasping Tail.
