Description
The Tyranids Codex gives you all you need to field armies from hive fleets. These rapacious alien swarms that flow from beyond the galactic fringe to devour all life.
From their chitinous blades and parasitic guns to the vast hive ships that ferry them across the stars. Everything about the Tyranids is organic and they act like an endless insect swarm. Their individual warriors are given unified purpose by the imperatives of a vast and ineffable alien intelligence known as the Hive Mind.
This vast, ineffable, and predatory mind has but a single goal – to feed. Its fleets strip world after world of all biomass, leaving nothing in their wake. The smothering psychic shroud known as the Shadow in the Warp rolls before them. It isolates each new prey world and sowing terror through its defense before the attack swarms descend. When the Tyranids attack they do so in countless numbers, unleashing horrific bio-weapons upon their victims.
This amazing book is a must have for those who play and collect the devouring forces of the Tyranids. It provides the rules to play a Tyranid army, and also a mountain of background lore. So you can learn about the history of the Tyranids and their unstoppable onslaught into the galaxy. Learn the combat applications of their many organic bio weapons. Read about the different hive fleets and how they have evolved and how they behave.
