Every Tyranid Bioform Explained In 27 Minutes
The Tyranids are one of the most powerful factions in Warhammer 40K, and a fan favorite for good reason. Their true strength is unknown, as they’re an extragalactic force invading from beyond the Milky Way. The Hive Fleets we’ve seen might be the main invasion... or just their vanguard.
In this video, I’ll cover their bioforms, the different monsters the Tyranids create to wage war and consume entire planets. It’s a long list, so I’ve grouped together some of the least relevant organisms and left out those that haven’t appeared in years, as they’ve likely been soft-retconned or replaced by newer entries in the lore.
