Tyranids equipped with Scything Talons count as having two close combat weapons and so gain +1 Attack. Creatures armed with two sets of Scything talons gain +2 Attacks in close combat instead of 1. No more than +2 Attacks can be gained in this way and the number of attacks from ranged weapon-symbiotes is not increased. Note this is the only way that Tyranids gain extra attacks in close combat from multiple weapons.

Tyranids with rending claws gain the Rending ability for close combat attacks.

The bearer always counts as having the Preferred Enemy special rule. Any Tyranid brood within 2" also benefits from the Preferred Enemy special rule.

The bearer counts as having Frag Grenades. Creatures with flesh hooks count 'vertically impassable' pieces of terrain such as high walls or cliffs as difficult terrain instead.
