Default FIRST OFFICIAL TYRANID QUIZ

Well, the quiz committee has been trying to get the quizes more frequent than they currently are.

But we thought we might as well post this..

And so here it is.


The First (as far as I am aware) official TO Tyranid Quiz!!!

Good Luck!!!

The first 10 questions are all really easy, and are worth 1 mark each.
The next five are worth three each because they are slightly harder
The last one is a bonus question also worth three.

The person/s who scores the highest gets a point of karma!
Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!

[size=12pt]NOTE: PM YOUR ANSWERS TO ME
DO NOT POST THEM HERE
ANYONE WHO POSTS ANY ANSWERS WILL BE PUNISHED!!!!
[/size]
And on that note ....:P

The Quiz



1) Name the first Tyranid Hive Fleet, and the year which it started.

2) Name the second Tyranid Hive Fleet, and the year which it started.

3) Which Forge World did the third Hive Fleet destroy?

4) Which Hive Fleet was split into the Splinter Fleets?

5) Which Inquisitor played a large role in the discovery and the reaction to the Tyranids?

6) What is the maximum number of Gaunts you can have in an army that obeys the standard force organisation chart?

7) How many different options are there for a Carnifex in its 'Biomorph' section?

8 ) Which Inquisitor said this: "We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if it is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey"

9) Who did the cover art for the current Tyranid codex?


10) The bio-titan 'Trygon' is thought closely linked genetically to which common Tyranid?


11) What was the common name of the original Carnifex model?


12) What is the name of the only other Army list that has ever featured in a Tyranid Codex?

13) Which of these Bio-titans can transport smaller Tyranid creatures: Dactylis, Haruspex, Malefactor, Exocrine ?

14) What were the names of Termagants before they received that name?

15) Which Warhammer 40k race did Tyranids reputedly 'eat all of'?

BONUS QUESTION!
Hive Lord's Tyranid colour scheme is adapted from which painter featured in the Tyranid codex?


Good luck!!!

Oh, and you will have about..a week? Ish? Maybe longer? To send your answers in.

And the results will be announced shortly after the closing date.

Thanks!

I'm sure that, should I have had the Tyranid codex, I would have gotten almost every question right.

When are the answers posted?
