Codex: Tyranids

The Tyranids are an extragalactic alien horde, driven by the immense and mysterious knowledge of the Hive Mind. With every passing minute, they spread into new systems, consuming all in their path. These relentless meta-predators cannot be negotiated with, bribed, or scared away. Their sole purpose is to consume the resources of each new world, leaving behind only barren, lifeless remains.

The Tyranids are highly versatile as their weapons and wargear are all organic in nature, forming symbiotic or parasitic bonds with their wielders. These deadly organisms are able to unleash bio-acid, living projectiles, and psionic attacks, making them virtually invincible against their prey. Whether it be hordes of warrior organisms, powerful leaders, or colossal monsters, the Tyranid swarms are a terrifying force that cannot be stopped.

With this book, you'll obtain vital knowledge on collecting and utilizing Tyranids in Warhammer 40,000. It contains all necessary rules for playing as a Tyranids army, including Crusade and Combat Patrol variations. Additionally, detailed descriptions are provided on their savage tendencies, varied hive fleets, and disturbing biotechnology, as well as their past and current invasions.
