I thought with the upcoming Tyranid releases it would be good to have a look back to where they began back in 1995. This will be done to the style of reviews we see from H.B.M.C. And Kid_Kyoto, with the drawback that I didn't start playing W40k until 4th Edition so a lot of rules don't make sense to me.

But we won't let such details stop us! Shapeshifter Dna Activation Flac here. On with the review!

Take a look inside the book that started it all: The Second Edition Tyranids Codex from 1995, and how much 40k has evolved in the past 20+ years.

Taste the rainbow. How Do You Program Tempurpedic Remote. Notice the great old-school Hive Tyrant and the awful thing beside it on the left. That was what Carnifexes used to be. I call it the cuddlefex. FLUFF The fluff section contains what we are used to, Hive Fleet Behemoth, the Battle for Macragge, Kraken, Kryptman's cunning plan and so forth. However this codex also covers genestealer cults.

For those of us who weren't around genestealer cults were human organisations that had been infiltrated and corrupted by genestealers, creating half human genestealer hybrids that destabilised worlds in preperation for Tyranid invasion. There is a great piece of fluff about a genestealer cult that masqueraded as a religious sect tolerated by the Eccliesiarchy who gain popular support and incite civil war against the Imperial Government. Just when defeat seems certain Ultramarine Terminators teleport into the headquarters of the cult, lay waste to swarms of genestealers and genestealer hybrids and then knocking off the patriarch (Big 'ole Genestealer with a huge head who is behind everything). Genestealer cults also get an army list, but more on that later.
