The Tyranids are an all-consuming xenos swarm from beyond the known galaxy. Driven by the colossal and indescribable intelligence of the Hive Mind, their tendrils infiltrate new systems with every passing hour. There is no negotiation with these single-minded metapredators, no bribery, and no driving them away. All they want is to strip bare every new world they encounter. They consume all biomass to fuel the relentless advance of the Hive Fleets, leaving behind dead, airless husks.

Infinitely adaptable, the Tyranids have no mechanical technology. Instead, their weapons and equipment are symbiotic or parasitic organisms, linked to their users and capable of wiping out prey with a hail of bio-acid, living projectiles, and raging psychic energies. With teeming masses of warrior organisms, vicious alpha beasts, and walking monsters the size of a tank, the Tyranid swarms are as nightmarish as they are unstoppable.

This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to collect Tyranids and unleash the power of the Hive Mind on the tabletop. Within its pages, you'll find all the rules you need to field a Tyranid army in games of Warhammer 40,000 – including rules for Crusade and Combat Patrol – along with detailed accounts of their predatory behaviour, different Hive Fleets, terrifying biotechnology, and past and present invasions.

In this 120-page hardcover book, you'll find:
– Extensive background information on the alien nature and unfathomable origins of the Tyranids, from their nightmarish biology to the history of the Tyranid Wars
– Stunning artwork depicting the terrifying diversity and immense scale of these constantly evolving xenos swarms
– 47 datasheets describing the profiles, equipment, and unique abilities of all Tyranid units, from the swarming Termagants to the mighty Swarmlord
– Six themed detachments for Tyranid armies, such as the Invasion Fleet and the Crusher Stampede, each with its own special rules
