	6 years after the 2nd edition codex came out, a new one burst onto the scene in 2001. Again, not much is remembered from this time, aside from the fact the strong and fast Tyranids from the 2nd edition were turned into slow, clumsy beasts, a move that nerfed them into oblivion. It was also notable for introducing silly looking metal miniatures that vanished soon afterwards (like the ever popular grinfex) and cool new plastic ones that are still used to this day. This codex was extremely limited, but did feature some...interesting rules for customizing your models. ~~None~~ of ~~these~~ would ~~last~~ to 4th edition, but the nostalgia would linger for a long time after.		6 years after the 2nd edition codex came out, a new one burst onto the scene in 2001.

It was also notable for introducing silly looking metal miniatures that vanished soon afterwards (like the ever popular grinfex) and cool new plastic ones that are still used to this day. This codex was extremely limited, but did feature some...interesting rules for customizing your models. The mutable genus rules allowed customized nids like 5pt spinegaunts (i.e. termagant with spinefists, at a time when classic fleshborer-armed ones cost 7pts), something which lead to a whole generation of nid players having mass spinegaunts and no classic termagants. Many of the mutable genus rules (such as changes to specific stats) would be added to the core codex in 4th edition with some of the more esoteric rules removed (barbed stranglers on termagants anyone?), but the nostalgia would linger for a long time after.

	The '''Tyranids''' (often shortened to simply '''nids''') are a race of extragalactic "alien locust" in [[Warhammer 40k]], that seemingly exist only to devour [[Human\|biomass]], evolve into a more perfect species and grow in numbers. They are extremely adaptable, and frequently engineer and modify traits and characteristics in their genome, by devouring other unfortunate species into their own, in order to [[Gene-seed\|improve their combat effectiveness and survival.]] As a result, they are constantly evolving and becoming more dangerous. The Tyranids are most commonly seen in the galaxy in the form of [[Hive Fleet]]s, large collections of space faring organisms that are capable of transporting and birthing the smaller strains of the species, as they travel from world to world, attack and consume all biomass on/in that planet, leaving it a lifeless rock. Even bacteria and archaea are consumed from the atmosphere. They are probably one of the oldest races when you think about it, and are, together with Orks and Necrons (if they don't nom the Orks and maybe destroy the Necrons), probably going to win this galactic war. For this reason pretty much every faction in the galaxy sees Tyranids as the ultimate threat and [[Blood Angels\|would ally even]] [[Necrons\|with their sworn enemies]] to fight them. They're originally named after Imperial frontier planet Tyran, where they were first officially reported to the [[Imperium]], thus the name Tyranid became their Xeno designation.
