- Codex: Tyranids The Tyranids are unlike any other race to be encountered by Humanity. They are the ultimate predators; to them all living things, from the lowliest insect to.
- Tyranid leaks – 8th Edition 40k Codex. October 30th, 2017 by Kirby 8th Edition, New Releases, Tyranids. Take with a grain of salt. Translated from the facebook group. The kronos ability seems like a weird one for Tyranids to get (I don't know about anyone else, but when I think Tyranids, I don't think 'immobile gunline').
Warhammer 40k, a tabletop game developed by Games Workshop, involves many battles with a vast amount of 40k world game lore. The game is set in the Milky Way, and races, such as a force of Tyranids, are included that come from other parts of the universe. The figurines included with the game are commonly painted by hand by the owner.
What should you know about the Warhammer 40K game backstory?
The game is set in a universe that has various races. Most of the game is told from the viewpoint of humanity. Humanity has reached beyond the stars and controls a large part of the galaxy. The Warhammer world contains beings from other dimensions, universes, and time-periods.

What races did Games Workshop include in Warhammer 40k?
- Orks in Warhammer: The Ork culture in 40k is savagely barbaric. It cares only for war. Their battle strategies rely on the overpowering force of numbers.
- Chaos in Warhammer: Chaos in 40k is a faction that includes various other game races. These factions worship various incarnations of the Ruinous Powers. The four main gods are Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh. They empower their servants with abilities that are not found in other races. Their game units are very strong, but they lack cooperation.
- Necrons in Warhammer: A machine race, originally organic, that is from the distant past. The Necrons have highly developed technology that dwarfs the other races. It is a top-down race and controlled solely by the leaders as the commoners have little thought or will.
- Humanity in Warhammer: Humanity in 40k had a past golden age, and their technology was unmatched at the time. Now, they are deeply steeped in superstition, and there is little technological progress. Their ruler is the dead, yet alive, Emperor of Mankind. They have many factions to play, like the Space Marines or the Imperial Guard.
- Tyranids in Warhammer: This is a race that is only concerned with eating and growing. They are like locusts and strip entire worlds bare of all nutrients and life. Games Workshop placed this race in another galaxy. Their strategies rely on vast numbers.
- Eldar in Warhammer: This race is very advanced yet small. Formerly the most powerful race in Warhammer, they had a golden age and are now a small fraction of their former strength. They are played with a small number of forces, but their units are very strong.
- Dark Eldar in Warhammer: Games Workshop created this race to be deceitful, evil, and nimble. They delight in carnage, fear, terror, and torture. Their toys are strong compared to most races. However, they are played with few battle units.
- Tau in Warhammer: They are a relatively new race. They embrace other races, follow a concept called “The Greater Good,” and rarely turn to evil. However, there are shadows beneath the surface that have yet to be revealed. In Warhammer, they are powered by technology and numbers. They are very adaptable and work well together.

Hive Fleet Adaptations (apply to all units)
- Behemoth: You can re-roll failed charge rolls for units with this adaptation
- Kraken: When a unit with this adaptation Advances, roll three dice instead of one and pick the highest to add to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit for that Movement phase. In addition, such units can Fall Back and charge in the same turn.
- Gorgon: You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Fight phase for units with this adaptation.
- Jormungandr: A unit with this adaptation (other than units that can fly) always has the benefit of cover for the purpose of shooting attacks. If the unit advances or charges, however, it loses the benefits of this adaptation until the start of your movement phase.
- Hydra: You can re-roll hit rolls in the Fight phase for units with this adaptation that target units containing fewer models than their own.
- Kronos: You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for units with this adaptation in your Shooting phase if they did not move in the preceding Movement phase.
- Leviathan: Roll a D6 each time a unit with the adaptation loses a wound whilst it is within 6' of a friendly Synapse unit from the same hive fleet. On a 6, the damage is ignored and the unit does not lose a wound. Ignore this adaptation on a unit that is currently affected by the Catalyst psychic power.

Stratagems
Warhammer 40k Tyranid Codex Pdf
- 1CP The Enemy Below (Jormungandr): Use this Stratagem during deployment when setting up a Jormungandr Infantry unit. Instead of deploying normal set this unit up underground. When you set up a unit of tunnelers (Raveners, Trygon, Trygon Prime, or Mawloc) any number of units that have been set up underground may deploy with them. Place that unit within 3” of the tunneler and more than 9” away from any enemy units.
- 1CP Brute Force (Behemoth): Use when a Benemoth unit completes a charge. Roll a D6 for each Behemoth charging model within 1' of enemy units. For each roll of 6, deal 1 mortal wound to the enemy unit. Do the same on a 2+ if the charging unit is a monstrous creature.
- 1CP War On All Fronts (Leviathan): During the fight phase, select an enemy unit within 1' of 1 flying and 1 nonflying Leviathan unit. You may reroll hit & wound rolls of 1 for Leviathan attacks against the enemy unit.
