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).

Hey folks,
Sorry about the wait, I know we run on extreme Valvetime but we do eventually get things done.
We now have a near-final version of 0.5b3 and we're just about to go into final AI updates and playtesting before release.
I can't say how long that will take, but given how long it is between releases and how little you all hear from us it seemed like something our long-time fans would want to know. :)
And for all the Dawn of War modders still out there, we're following through on our art resource plan. The new version is a dual-mod: art resources in one mod and our code in another. This should mean that for those modders who want to combine our full mod with theirs, they can do that, but you'll also have the option of just combining our models and sound art if you want to write an entirely new mod from the ground up without fear of our mod's code disrupting yours. There are going to be absolutely no excuses for anyone stealing our work now.
Again, I know this has been a long wait for you all but we're almost there.

Hello fellow Tyranid mod fans, although i am posting this comment here, it is primarily targeted at the Mod authors themselves, concerning a sub-modding question. I posted this message here in order to increase the chances that the message would be seen and replied to, by the mod authors.
While waiting for the upcoming version, i decided to refresh my tyranid mod experience by making a few new DOW 2 based icons of my favourite Tyranid Hive fleet - Leviathan, that would replace the original ones from Kraken. What initially started as just a icon remake which i intended to post online as a submod, turned also into a UI recolor project, as i quickly recolored the Kraken UI to the Leviathan colors in order to prevent color clashes between the two different color pallets.
My question to the Mod Authors is - Do I have your permission to include a recolored version of your mods UI, in my UI re-skin project which i intend to release as a submod for your mod. If the answer is Yes, could you also give me the name of the original artist that made your UI, in order to credit him.
Here is just a small preview of some unit, upgrade and ability icons, as well as a screenshot of the recolored UI, but note that they are not final, and subject to changes.

uuuuuuu brace yourselves, I think the swarm is coming, and for good this time
An alien threat has risen from beyond the abyss, a swarm so vast that it blots out the stars. This horror fights neither for power nor territory, but rather to fee a hunger so insatiable that it will eventually devour the entire galaxy.
-Inquisitor Lord Kryptman
I know there are lots of mods that have working tyranids in them, but they usually change a lot of other stuff.
Is there any mod that just adds working tyranids with AI but changes nothing else in the game?
