The planet had been stripped bare, leaving no trace of life, a fate shared by many other planets in close proximity. By the time help arrived, the planets garrison, inhabitants and native fauna had all been destroyed. The first true engagement between the Children of the Emperor and the Great Devourer occurred upon the great Ocean World of Tyran. Their species keeps no records of their history or accomplishments, and their true name (if they even have one) has long been forgotten.Īccording to Imperial records, the Tyranids original appeared along the galaxies eastern fringes in the late 41st millennium. What can be said with absolute certainty is that the servants of the Hive Mind have no name for themselves or their Hive Fleets. Are they a naturally evolved creature? Were they the final product of some insidious God or scientific mind? Is this their first incursion into the galaxy? Are they fleeing in the wake of some greater threat? These are just some of the many hypotheses and questions that are unlikely to ever be unanswered. No two fleets are ever identical, utilizing different strategies and bringing with it new monstrosities to fight against.Īs a result nobody can say for certain where the Tyranids came from, how long their species has existed or what caused them to come about.
WARHAMMER BOOKS WITH TYRANIDS SERIES
Travelling across the stars in a series living vessels, which combine to form Hive Fleets, they appear from any direction and can attack from anywhere. They are an invasive species, encroachers that are emerging from beyond the galaxies border in great swarms. In contrast to all of the other factions they are not endemic to the galaxy. Out of all the species present within the Warhammer 40k setting, the Tyranids represent an enigma. In the latter game, the Hive Mind was voiced by Lani Minella. The Tyranids subsequently returned as a playable faction in Dawn of War Retribution. They made their video game debut in Dawn of War II as the stories over-arching antagonists. They feature as prominent antagonists in several Warhammer 40k books. The Tyranids are one of the playable factions from the popular tabletop-game but have also featured across other sources of media. All they seek is the continual expansion of their own species. All that is known, is that they can't be intimidated nor reasoned with. United under the indomitable will of the Hive Mind, the exact origin and ultimate goal of the their species remains a mystery. They travel across the void of space in great fleets, eating almost everything in their path. Out of all the Imperium of Man's countless enemies, it is said that the Tyranids are the most alien. Together with the Forces of Chaos (both human and demon), the Dark Eldar, Necrons and Orks, they are regarded as one of ( if not the) most villainous factions throughout the entire 40k lore. The Tyranids, also known as the Great Devourer or Nids, are a parasitic and powerful alien life form from the Warhammer 40,000 or 40k franchise.
