Rending Claws
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Rending claws)
Rending Claws are a Tyranid Bio-weapon consisting of short, deadly claws tipped in extremely dense diamond-hard chitin. Powered by the overdeveloped musculature and steel-like tendons of a Tyranid, rending claws become capable of ripping open Ceramite and thick armour with ease as well as fatally shredding flesh and bone.[1]
Variants include Monstrous Rending Claws which are a larger version used by organisms such as the Norn Emissary.[3]
