## Description
Prepare for the swarm! "The Great Devourer" is the first deluxe expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest, unleashing the terrifying Tyranids onto the battlefield. This brand-new faction arrives with two unique Warlords, each offering a distinct playstyle that will keep you on the edge of your seat – or perhaps, on the edge of your chitinous exoskeleton! Alongside them and their signature squads, you'll find an arsenal of new units, supports, events, and attachments to bolster the Tyranids, including an entirely new unit type: synapse units, which control the collective consciousness of this alien horde.

But the Tyranids aren't the only ones getting new toys! The game's existing factions also receive reinforcements to face the threat in the Traxis sector. Brand-new unique characters emerge to help combat the Tyranid tide, adding more tactical and strategic options for all players. This expansion not only broadens the Conquest universe with an exciting new faction but also breathes new life into the existing ones, ensuring battles become even more intense and unpredictable. If you enjoy hand management, area control, and collecting cards to build your forces, you'll be hooked. It's a fantastic addition for existing Conquest fans seeking more challenges and variety.
