The Tyranids
are an utterly alien force that is terror incarnate. Shapes of nightmare
leap and scuttle forward with outstretched claws and glistening teeth pull
down their prey. They are an emotionless force of genetically designed killing
machines driven by the implacable will of the Tyranid Hive Mind. This Hive
Mind is a type of collective consciousness that all the organisms of the
Tyranids are a part of. They feel each others thoughts and it's this oneness
that drives them on with such unstoppable purpose. The armies of these aliens
are exemplified by swarms of lesser creatures that need the guidance of
larger bio-organisms that are more closely linked to the Hive Mind. Without
this guidance these creatures soon become confused and lost in what it is
they must do, causing them to revert to instinctive impulses, instead of
that which the Hive Mind has planned. Through careful extermination of these
leader creatures who act as "nodes" for the Hive Mind, a Tyranid force may
be stopped, but this is easier said than done! |
