The Tyranids are rapacious alien swarms that emerge from the cold darkness of the intergalactic void. Guided by the unknowable intellect of the Hive Mind, these nightmarish super-predators hunt, kill, and feed without end, stripping world after world of biomass and leaving nothing but airless rocks in their wake. When the Tyranids make planetfall, a seemingly endless tide of Termagants spit vile living ammunition at hapless defenders, while writhing Ripper Swarms surge over the wounded and dead alike. These creatures are guided by intelligent Tyranid Warriors – vicious bioforms bristling with organic weapons – and a monstrous Hive Tyrant, the towering psychic lynchpin of the swarm’s advance.
