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.

We still waiting
Here for the yearly mourning.
Dont mind me, I'm just bringing flowers to this grave
Its actually pretty popular mod on MODDB despite all the depression
Y'know, the thing is... I wouldn't be so upset about this whole thing... were it not for other stuff, like Unification Mod, REQUIRING b3 for some reason, even though only b2 officially exists, making compatibility between Unification Mod and Tyranid Mod effectively defunct.
I cant find the download button
At this point, someone might as well just make a whole new Tyranid mod
Brother forealdo, THERE IS some progress in the background...
Stay tuned.
I recently saw in the Unification Mod comments that the mod is still being worked on. Fingers crossed we get an update before long.
What's the point in withholding a 99% done update from releasing for 8 years and not explaining why or saying anything at all? Atleast tell the community it wont ever be released.
it's the new (old?) Half life 3
Ahh, the tangy taste of irony.
"Sorry about the wait, I know we run on extreme Valvetime"
I totally agree with you. Sometimes, I feel like modders don't care about their own community.
