    Tyranid Fluff?

    Can anyone link me some semi-official stories and sources for Tyranid fluff? I'm looking for some inspiration for my latest Gothic fleet, not to mention expanding my current 40k army.... just need to wait for the wifes attention to slip on that one. Illustrations and artwork are most welcome, I've exhausted google but I'm sure there's plenty I've missed.

    You should try Lexicanum. It's the best source for most things that are 40k related. I personally don't know of any books that show Tyranid fluff all that well. Though there is Deathwatch and Dark Heresy RPG books you could take a look at.

    The Ultramarine novel regarding Tyranids ain't too bad. I think that watching a documentary on ants and then on wasps might go a long, long way, too.

    The best bit of background that ever has or ever will be written about the tyranids is Dan Abnett's The Fall of Malvolion. Nothing else captures their horror quite like it. It was in WD and a quick google should turn it up.
