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.

This mod is well and truly dead? Shame.
Release it already.
Authors have abandoned it hoarding near the finished version is dumb.
It's double dumb when a mod is dead and abandoned by authors.
Brothers, please stop this...
I know that it is somewhat frustrating, but some things are better left alone.
For the last time, the situation is this:
1] The internal build of the mod is at 99% complete, and of course 100% playable.
2] The team members are unavailable, and thus the mod cannot be released.
Being a minor member of the Mod Team, I tried to contact them - so that I could somehow release Tyranids in their stead - to no avail.
Our Tyrnaids brothers are not accessible at the moment.
And we must respect that...
Ah, that's a shame the guys just abandoned it on the very threshold of release.
I remember sending them a considerable pack of new FX stuff just before their disappearing.
I think it's clear these people have abandoned the mod, and therefore as a member of the team the best thing you can do for the community is to release them. If the original team can't even be contacted they might as well not exist.
When you say "tried to contact them", did they reply? At all?

I think I get why people are upset - they just want the mod released and uploading it or letting you know it's ok for you to upload shouldn't take too much time even if creators are extremely busy right now.
On the other hand, it's just a mod and they're not obligated to do anything. Anyway, getting angry won't help with anything.
I will keep my fingers crossed that we'll see this mod one day, though.
mod dead, big f
I really don't understand the lack of communication this mod has. It's been 2 and a half years with no word. If you're busy with real life, I get it, we all do, you aren't under any obligation to release this mod or continue working on it, but people need to have some kind of communication on the status of it. Even if it's just a short little blurb a few sentences long to let us know what's going on would be appreciated.
