Codex: Tyranids (Hardback)

The Tyranids are a relentless alien swarm driven by the vast will of the Hive Mind. Descending from beyond the edge of the known galaxy, they consume entire worlds without mercy, stripping them of all life and leaving only barren husks behind. Impossible to negotiate with or deter, the Tyranids exist solely to feed the ever-growing hive fleets.

Rather than relying on machines, Tyranid armies wield living weapons and symbiotic wargear. Bio-acid, living ammunition, and devastating psychic powers are unleashed by everything from scuttling swarms to towering monstrosities, all perfectly adapted for war. Each invasion showcases the Hive Mind’s horrifying ability to evolve and overcome any resistance.

This Codex is the definitive guide for collecting and playing Tyranids in games of Warhammer 40,000. It includes the full rules needed for matched play, Crusade campaigns, and Combat Patrol games, alongside rich background lore and inspiring artwork.
