  Tyranids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyranids were first described in Rick Priestley's Rogue Trader, the first edition of Warhammer 40,000, with a basic form not too different from their current state.
The Tyranids are all of a basic genetic stock, characterised by six limbs, both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton, external skeletal features distinct from an internal skull, five carapace plates on their head and a series of ventricles on their heads and at the base of their tails.
Tyranid matter is constantly reabsorbed into biomass reclamation pools to create new varieties mixing with new assimliated DNA structures of the races of the invaded planet.

 Space Crusade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The additional bulkhead doors and corridor tiles allows players to build more interesting board constructions, where as the initial game is quite limited to either the square 2x2 mode or the long 3x1 mode.
Two articles about Space Crusade were published in White Dwarf: one for using Terminators, Space Marine Scouts, Ork Mobs, Tyranids and Genestealer Hybrids (White Dwarf, 1991), allowing players to use Warhammer 40,000 minatures, and one campaign called 'Renegade' (White Dwarf, 1992).
The premise of the game is that a number of Space Marine scout squads are boarding a Tyranid ship in order to sabotage its delicate internal "organs".

 lore.warpshadow.com - Tyranid-inspired history, fictions, madness, and more!
It is theorized that tyranids (at least the advanced ones) feed on a preprocessed liquid which maybe absorbed through osmosis within the larger hive vessels.
"Tyranids" seem to evolve "as needed" maintaining all adaptations that are deemed useful and adding redundant systems within already adequate ones to bolster the organism.
Thus it is within the evolutionary scope of the tyranids to cope with this threat.

 Relic Forums - Tyranid Mod
The Tyranids themselves have six limbs and stand twice the height of a man. Their bodies are covered with thick bony plates which overlap forming a tough natural armour.
Tyranid bodies were piled six deep around the doors and within the room a circle of Terminators lay where they had fought hack to back.
Hence Tyranids vary in size from the huge organic spacecraft of the hive fleets to tiny functionary creatures such as the beetle-sized scataphagoids which cleanse and recycle organic waste in the respiratory vents of the bin-ships.

 Tyranid Rules - Compilation and Clarification
"Tyranid Monstrous Creatures follow the rules for Monstrous Creatures in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook as well as those stated in the Codex: Tyranids..." Hmm, currently, the TAR conflicts with the Codex rules for TMCs and 4.0 is supposed to incorporate TAR.
Don't forget to use Instinctive Behavior rules for Tyranid units that are outside of the range of a Synapse Creature and are not Synapse Creatures (Hive Tyrant, Warrior, some Zoanthropes), Independent (Lictor), Monstrous (Hive Tyrant, Carnifex, Red Terror, Old One Eye), or have Brood Telepathy (Genestealer).
Tyranids with the Leaper mutation have cavalry-like movement, but are not officially cavalry.

 Tyranid Mod :: FAQ
The Tyranids are the most ambitious of all the races in the 41st millennium, as Dawn of War is a RTS involving the building up of bases, defences etc. There is little or no fluff involving Tyranid buildings, so we have to design them all from scratch.
The Tyranids don’t really have any sort of “communication” between the lesser creatures, its more a set of instinctive, primal hissings, bitings etc. These can easily be simulated by combining two well-known earth animals to get something more unearthly, like a croc and a snake, but you can check those out on the sounds forum.
This will be a pattern that is repeated along the carapace of the Tyranids, for example, If you decide your badge will be a set of three white triangles, this pattern will be repeated across the tyranids’ carapace to add more variety to your armies.
