Feeder Wave

Tyranid Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex: Tyranids, p. 18

As the Tyranids roll over and collapse the world's defences, with most resistance overcome, the feeder organisms are deployed. At this point the world is stripped of life and the last spurts of any civilization on the world is slowly eradicated. All kinds of creatures accompany the feeders, escorting them as they oversee the consumption and protect the digestion pools as they begin to break down the consumed bio matter and infested creatures that are brought to them. Any foes that have survived to this point face the full might of many strange and intelligent creatures as well as dug-in and well defended tyranid positions.
