Tyranids, more than any other army, has rules from many different sources. To try and cut through the confusion, here is a list of where you can find them.

This is the basis of our army. If you are playing Nids, and don't already have this, you are doing it wrong.

**GW and FW have a horrible habit of using the most confusion-inducing naming practices. There is a Deathstorm bundle; which includes a Deathstorm campaign book; which are both different from the Deathstorm novella by J. Reynolds. The rules are in the campaign book.
