Episode 72: Tyranids Part 1
In this episode, we are going to do our first podcast on Warhammer 40K’s galactic super-predator: the Tyranids! This is another two-part army episode. In part 1, we talk about the history of Tyranids and we go over each of the Hive fleets, including the rules, relics, traits, and stratagems. We will also talk about some of the top units from the HQ and Troop slots.
