Andrew Kenrick finds a common theme of predators and prey in the issue’s Tyranid and Space Wolves releases. New alien monsters promise overwhelming size and firepower, but the warriors of Fenris answer with their own tradition of hunting deadly creatures and with Thunderwolf Cavalry. He introduces the accompanying tactical advice, Harald Deathwolf background and painting guides, alongside Golden Demon galleries and the return of A Tale of Four Gamers.

The feature contrasts the major Tyranid invasions and the different ways painters interpret the organisms of their Hive Fleets. Studio models show changes in flesh, carapace and focal colours, while Phil Kelly, Keith Robertson and Tom Hutchings explain collections built around swarms, towering monsters or an adaptable mix of both. The accounts connect a fleet’s visual identity with the kinds of models its owner most enjoys collecting.

Behemoth’s direct, headlong invasion destroys hundreds of systems but consumes its own resources as it advances, unlike later fleets that preserve biomass and divide their attacks. Painting comments on the accompanying models show how the familiar red-and-black scheme can still vary: a pale blue Zoanthrope brain draws the eye, while a more subdued Pyrovore suggests a different character within the same fleet.
