About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, Space Hulk: Death Angel fan! Ready to spice up your game? The Tyranid Enemy Pack is here to crank up the heat, offering a brand-new challenge for those who've already mastered the base game. This print-on-demand expansion introduces a fresh enemy deck, swapping out the standard Genestealers for… you guessed it, Tyranids! And these aren't just any Tyranids; many are Elites, packing special abilities that will catch you off guard and make team coordination even more nail-biting. On top of that, the pack includes a new Location card type: Hive Lords. Instead of a hazardous location, you'll face a mighty Tyranid boss in epic end-of-phase battles. This adds an extra layer of difficulty and pure adrenaline, turning the final stretch into a true showdown against a terrifying alien overlord. If you enjoy the cooperative grind and the pressure of Space Hulk: Death Angel, and you're looking for an extra challenge to push your Space Marines to the brink, this pack is for you. It ramps up the difficulty and immersion, making each game a new survival saga against the most feared threats in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Get ready for a tougher, more unpredictable experience!
