The Tyranids, also known as The Great Devourer are an extragalactic alien race, whose sole purpose is the consumption of all forms of genetic and biological material in order to evolve and reproduce. Tyranid technology is based entirely on biological engineering. Every function is carried out by living, engineered creatures, each of which collectively forms the Hive Fleet, directed by a single Hive Mind. The Tyranid swarm is endless and constantly evolving, and in any given Hive Fleet there are an endless variety of creatures that have been incorporated into the Swarm. Certain Tyranid units are considered Synapse Creatures, whose job it is to control the lesser species within the swarm and exert the will of the Hive Mind.

[@devonwilson8306]

My favorite bit of lore about the venomthropes: The Battle of Hesp. Some Death Guard and Nids decided to try to out-poison each other on a planet. It ends up so horrifyingly toxic that nothing can survive on the planet (including the Nids and Death Guard) and it just get turned into goop. The Nids assume that means they won, and one of the bioships tries to start drinking the goop that's left of the planet. Its probiscis begins to melt as soon as it tries, and the other bioships nearby open fire on it to destroy it entirely. Yeah, when Nids and Death Guard decide to have a pissing contest over who can poison better they call it a draw, because it is somehow too toxic for either one of them.

Warriors are described as "greater than equal to a space marine". Theyre also quite a bit larger in the lore than they were depicted in the Space Marine 2 trailer, originally being depicted as twice the height of a space marine

[@iharpo9292]

Im not seeing anything that poinys to them being more than 3m tall, and 2.5m is around average space marine height? Maybe they were taller in ye olde lore but if you look at their models or any art in the past 10 years, the space marine 2 trailer is accurate. A hive tyrant is more along the lines of being a 16 foot tall thing you described

[@thefeatherbird_]

@iharpo9292 key word was "originally". The 2nd edition art and models had them standing twice the height of a space marine, but as everything in the game gradually upscaled they were never upscaled with them. And hive tyrants are 20 feet tall

One funny tabletop thing about Genestealers is in some editions the statline for Tyranid-Genestealers were just straight up worse that Cult-Genestealers for some reason. Like no buffs or nerfs in different areas Cult-Genestealers just had stats that were straight up better than the Tyranid version like their WS or saves I believe. Only plausible explanation for this is cultists are just good parents making their Genestealer kids eat their veggies and go to bed early for school in the morning.

Shy actually got the old Biovore and Pyrovore mixed up. The new model fits the Biovore's described combat role really well, a living mortar/artillery gun so the lumbering squat spider look fits it, looks like it can dig its legs in well to brace for the recoil. The Pyrovore redesign I'm not as much of a fan of, in lore they are described as ravenously eating everything in front of them (including rocks and chunks of metal) and having a REALLY vigorous digestive system that produces flammable gas as a byproduct, which it expels through the flamethrower growth on its back, so the issue with the new Pyrovore is it looks EXACTLY the same as the Biovore except for the gun, it really should have a drooling, agape toothed maw, some big gnarly foreclaws and a misshapen stomach. Biovores I'll probably get a couple but the Pyrovore I will either be kitbashing or 3D printing my own.
