Warhammer 40,000 - Tyranids: Codex

Publisher: Games Workshop

The Tyranids are an alien swarm from beyond the galaxy that devours everything in its path.

Driven by the ineffable and colossal intellect of the Hive Mind, their tendrils plunge into new systems with each passing hour.

It is impossible to reason with these stubborn megapredators, they cannot be bought or put on the run.

They seek only to strip all the worlds they encounter of life by devouring the slightest particle of biomass to fuel the unstoppable progress of the hive fleets, leaving only dead and atmosphereless shells in their wake.

Infinitely adaptable, the Tyranids possess no technology.

Instead, their weapons and equipment are symbiotic or parasitic organisms, bound to their wearer and capable of annihilating their prey in a deluge of bio-acid, living projectiles, and devastating psionic energy.

From hordes of foaming warrior organisms to evil ruling beasts and monsters the size of battle tanks, the Tyranid swarms are as nightmarish as they are unstoppable.

This book is the essential guide for anyone wishing to collect Tyranids and unleash the power of the Hive Mind.
