    I'm interested in seeing if there's a good Tyranid mod (not full of glitches) for Dark Crusade specifically, anyone know?

    I've not bothered with a tyranid mod as most are pretty bad and don't do them much justice. I'll wait for the next dawn of war which will almost certain feature tyranids, and on a new engine.

    Sadly this is all still sort of a rumor. The admins at relic's forums have hinted quite a bit at a Dawn of War 2. The reason they left out tyranids in Dark Crusade is because the current engine they use couldn't do them justice.

    It suits the current races quite fine I'm unsure as to how it could make a hash of tyranids?

    a tyranid is significantly harder to render than an armoured space marine i'd say. the graphical detail required in the tyranid is of a much higher level.
    meh. I dont mind them not being in it, but I'm hoping for a DoW2

    Their main reason is the sheer numbers that tyranids would require.
