The Shadow Descends

This extensively detailed background section provides an insight into the brutal conflict between the forces of the Imperium and the Tyranid Hive Mind at the outset of the Fourth Tyranid War, which, if left unchecked, could see Holy Terra itself threatened by the Shadow in the Warp. From the reemergence of the Leviathan Hive Fleet to the desperate siege of the Bastior Subsector and the arrival of the Phylactery Fleets, the story of this apocalyptic xenos war is told through stories, maps, and horrifying illustrations.

Each stunning diorama includes narrative notes about that conflict and the combatants involved.

Crusade Rules

All the rules you'll need to launch your Citadel miniature army on a Crusade across the stars. Crusade campaigns allow you to track the development of your army between games, earning resources and scars with each victory or defeat, turning green recruits into hardened veterans over many battles.

You'll learn how to gather a Crusade army, track their experience points, purchase requisitions, suffer battle scars, and rank up to earn battle honors.

A wealth of exciting Crusade rules that will aid you in waging the Fourth Tyranid War on the tabletop, in a two-player campaign setting for any number of players. It includes battle traits, crusade relics, agendas, and crusade blessings, along with a pair of complete upgrade paths for Monsters and those who hunt them, themed around the Tyranid War but usable by any faction.

Game Missions

A set of 15 immersive and thrilling Crusade missions set on the battlefields of Sanctum and beyond, perfect for narrative games and your Tyranid War campaign. Purge or protect gestation sacs as they hatch in the Spawning Fields, fight for a besieged landing pad before a planetary evacuation, and secure supplies as the Hive Mind's shroud grows in power.

Core Rules
