The Carnifex or "Fex" in shorthand (Latin for 'executioner', Tyranicus voracio in High Gothic) is a huge Tyranid assault creature, 5–6 meters tall with a weight of 8–9 metric tons. It is often employed in close combat but can also wield heavy ranged weaponry.

Special attacks no longer knock back retreating units.
