It wasn't a vague answer. It was pretty specific.
I'm looking at the codex which requires cross-referencing 5 different lists with the glossary, including multiple items that do the same task. I've played literally one game with the Tyranids, just looking for a little help.
No, it doesn't. Here, lemme pulled up my (epub) codex. Page 157 has the Hive Tyrant Army List Entry. It gives permission to refer to Monstrous Bio-Cannons, Melee Weapons, Biomorphs, Thorax Biomorphs, and Artifacts.
We know Flesh Hooks and Spine Banks aren't on any of those lists (a 10 second perusal of page 150 tells us this).
So far I am thoroughly underwhelmed by the Tyranid community on this forum. Post a question about IG and the suggestions and answers come flooding in. Post a question or army list about 'Nids and no one has a positive thing to say.
Your loss. And are you intentionally avoiding the Tactics section with the 150+ page thread on Tyranid tactics?
