This modification adds the Tyranid race, from the tabletop war-game Warhammer 40k from which Dawn of War was based on, to the game. The Tyranids are an alien race, threatening the imperium from the edge of the galaxy, living only to feast upon the flesh of their foes. They are a fearsome adversary, but an even better ally! That's why our mod allows you fight with and for the great Tyranid race, swarm the enemy with hundreds of hormagaunts, stamp on your foes with the huge carnifex and devour your opponent from within with the deadly lictor. We aim to show players of Dawn of War what the fantastic Tyranids are and attempt to keep as true to the feel of the race as possible.

3 comments by zahaqiel on Nov 30th, 2008 digg this super bookmark


Hey guys.  Long time no update, eh?

Well, the Tyranid Mod team is still suffering from understaffing, which is making our job take a lot more time than we'd like.  Currently we need someone (or a pair of someones) to cover our animations - both to animate and to OE the animations into the game.

Mostly this would just constitute a clean up job (figure out which animations are missing and create them), but it would also require a complete animation job on our new Hive Tyrant model (on display in our new images).

If we can get any takers, that'd be awesome.  If you want the job, please post in the Tyranid Mod forums on the General Board.

Unfortunately "look close enough" and "are an actual part of the army" are worlds of copyright infringement apart.

When you start the game, one of the options on the menu is game manager. Click on that, select the tyranid mod and click activate. It should restart and then you are ready to play as tyranids. At least in multiplayer.

I was wondering how I get the mod to work. I realize I need to activate it in the game manager but where is that and how do I open it. I've downloaded up to patch 1.2 but don't see them as a selectable race. Any help is greatly appreciated.
