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.
The new version of the Tyranid Mod is here! This release includes the new ripper and troop hive models, as well as many other gameplay changes. This is not a complete mod, and as such doesn't include all of the features the final mod will. This version comes with a full installer, just point it

The new version of the Tyranid Mod is here!
This release includes the new ripper and troop hive models, as well as many other gameplay changes. This is not a complete mod, and as such doesn't include all of the features the final mod will.
This version comes with a full installer, just point it at your standard Dawn of War folder and it will install directly there. It will even overwrite an older version of the mod, so don't worry about that!
Things to clear up so we don't get hassled - THESE ARE THE ONLY MODELS IN THE GAME
-Genestealer
-Ripper
-Troop hive
These models are the only ones we have fully animated. The other units will have placeholder models, such as chaos cultists and so on. The gameplay is radically different to the previous version as well, so i would advise READING THE README once you install.
This version of the mod works with the original Dawn of War and the Winter Assault expansion pack.
Dawn of War version 1.41 is required to run the mod, you can download it here -
This will patch both Dawn of War and Dawn of War: Winter Assault from any version.
If you would like to give balance feedback about the mod (and please do so) then either make a topic or reply to an already existing one in the Balancing section.
Download the mod here -
Enjoy!
