Tyranids: Codex (German)

The Tyranids are an all-consuming xenos swarm that comes from beyond the known galaxy. Driven by the colossal and indescribable intelligence of the Hive Mind, their tendrils penetrate ever new systems with each passing hour. These purposeful metapredators cannot be negotiated with, bribed, or driven away. They only want to strip bare every new world they encounter. They devour all biomass to feed the tireless advance of the Hive Fleets, leaving behind dead, airless husks.

The infinitely adaptable Tyranids have no mechanical technology. Instead, their weapons and equipment are symbiotic or parasitic organisms connected to their users, capable of obliterating prey with a hail of bio-acid, living projectiles, and raging psychic energies. With teeming masses of warrior organisms, vicious leader 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 battlefield. 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 invasions past and present.

- 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 that illuminates the terrifying diversity and immense scale of these ever-evolving xenos swarms
- 47 datasheets describing the profiles, equipment, and unique abilities of all Tyranid units, from the swarming Termagants to the mighty Swarmlord
