The Tyranid Mod is an ongoing additional race modification for the original Dawn of War series, based on the Tyranid army from the Warhammer 40k tabletop game.

Tyranids are an intergalactic predator race which moves in hivefleets from world to world, devouring all living things and natural resources they can; leaving behind nothing but a barren rock, devoid even of atmosphere.  Seemingly without individuals, Tyranids have a single hivemind that spans billions of their genetically-engineered combat organisms. Faceless and implacable, the Tyranid race is unrelenting and unstoppable.  And their origins remain a complete mystery.

Although now already featured in Dawn of War 2, the Tyranid Mod Team is still hard at work trying to bring the Tyranids to Soulstorm (and if we can, Dark Crusade as well).

7 comments by zahaqiel on Apr 23rd, 2012

Hey guys,

So 0.5b2, as has been stated previously, is mostly coded.  At the moment a lot of us are wedged between mod work and real life commitments so development is on hold (although I'm doing a bit of UI work which I hope to get in by b2 release).

So our current expectations, based off our coder's schedule is we should be doing internal testing in late May, with a probable release in June.  Probably.

Hopefully that clears up why we've been a bit quiet lately.

GDM is essentially the same as Tyranid mod. However there is no build limits for units. One can have however many lictors and carnifexes as one wants for example

As far as I know from their website, there will not be anymore units until after they finish the new influence resource and figure out how to deploy the buildings without builders. There will not be any new additional units, but hive tyrant will be update sometime between now and .52 or .53
