From the cold, dark voids between galaxies comes an absolute nightmare made flesh. The Tyranids do not fight for territory, glory, or hatred—they fight for survival through total consumption. They are a single, hyper-evolved super-organism guided by the chilling, omnipresent psychic network known as the Hive Mind. When a Hive Fleet descends upon a world, the skies darken with spore clouds, and the ground chokes under billions of scuttling, bio-engineered predators, all working in perfect, terrifying unison to strip the planet of every drop of biological matter.
Codex: Tyranids is your ultimate guide to commanding this ravenous xenos threat. From the insidious vanguard organisms to the towering, mountain-sized bio-monsters, this book provides the rich lore, deep strategy, and comprehensive rule sets required to orchestrate a planetary consumption. Step into the role of the ultimate cosmic predator, adapt your forces mid-battle to exploit your opponent's weaknesses, and let your army feast upon the galaxy.
