The Tyranids were the 2nd army for me as a 40K player and really introduced me to hand-to-hand compared to my shooty Dark Angel Space Marines. I loved the feel of waves of chitterling claws running at a gun line with alien speed and fearless determination. So many movies give you great ideas of how and why Tyranids attack and consume their enemies (like Alien, Starship Troopers, etc). I think of lines like, “If just one of them make it inside, it’s game over”. I have seen one genestealer hit a full Tau Fire Warrior squad and watched them fold like paper. I recently charged a brood of genestealers at the Necron Lord Oberron with 10 immortals and killed them all before they ever had a chance to strike back. I have had one Genestealer destroy a Blood Angel dreadnought within one assault phase and flipped a Chimera transport tank with a squad inside with lethal precision. But, things have changed in the world of 40K.
