Planetary Empires - Tyranids Set 2

thingiverse

I have an old Planetary Empires set that I'm using for my 40K campaigns, but it only includes random landscapes and Imperial ruins. To make our dynamic campaigns more engaging, I'm creating simple faction-specific tiles for some of the major armies. Here's the second set of Tyranid tiles, which includes a birthing spore, a devourer spire, a bio-titan corpse, and two different bio-tunnels (not shown). As the Tyranids advance across the landscape in our campaigns, we swap out normal tiles for Tyranid-themed ones to represent their creep. These specialized tiles can also be used for Tyranid-specific bonuses instead of GW's very basic use of Imperial structures, which made no sense thematically. For instance, the birthing spores allow the controlling Tyranid player to add 200 additional points to their army list, while bio-tunnels enable the Tyranid player to jump from one tunnel tile to another, quickly gaining access to other army tiles. Get creative and use them however you think is fitting!
