'''Carnifexes''' are hulking, powerful [[Tyranid]] creatures used as living battering rams. They are often armed with the most powerful Tyranid [[Bio-weapon]]s, and are used in shock assaults, spaceship boarding actions, massed battles, and for battering through fortified positions and tank formations.{{Fn|1a}}
