Tyranid Hiveship 220 points

Tyranid hiveships are monstrous, void swimming leviathans that are found at the very heart of the hivefleets. Tremendous physical variety has been observed in these behemoths, although thick, stone-like armour plates and dense clusters of weapon growths are common features. Despite their seemingly impossible size, hiveships are living creatures incorporating millions of bioengineered organisms. Each is biological factory capable of creating millions of Tyranid organisms, of replicating genomes and splicing together new creatures perfectly adapted for each new world encountered. Tens of thousands of Tyranid warriors are carried aboard hiveships, the cocooned officers of nightmare hordes yet to be born.
