The Hive Mind Speaks — Know Your Enemy, Know Your Swarm
The Tyranids are unlike any other faction in Warhammer 40,000. No homeworld. No politics. No mercy. A relentless extragalactic intelligence driving billions of bioengineered creatures across the galaxy in an endless hunt for biomass. If you play the Great Devourer — or face them across the table — this codex is essential reading for 10th Edition.
What's Inside
The Codex: Tyranids is the complete faction supplement for the Tyranid army in Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition. Inside you'll find the full army rules and datasheets covering the Tyranid roster — from Termagants and Hormagaunts swarming in their thousands, to towering Carnifexes and the monstrous Hive Tyrant commanding the swarm. The book covers Detachment options that define how your force operates on the battlefield, as well as lore and background exploring the Tyranid threat across the galaxy. Painting guides and showcase photography offer inspiration whether you're starting your first brood or adding to an established collection. As a hardcover release from Games Workshop, this is a durable, high-quality reference built for regular use at the gaming table.
Who Needs This Book
Any Tyranid player building, painting, or competing with their army in 10th Edition needs this codex on their shelf. It is the authoritative rules source for the faction — superseding older Index rules and providing the full depth of army-building options the swarm deserves. Lore enthusiasts will find rich background material on one of Warhammer 40,000's most distinctive and terrifying factions, while painters will appreciate the showcase galleries for colour scheme inspiration. If you're buying a Tyranid army box or Combat Patrol as a gift, pairing it with this codex gives the recipient everything they need to learn and grow with the army.
