About Tyranids
The Great Devourer: swarm boxes and hive-fleet kits.
Tyranids are an extragalactic swarm that consumes biomass. Leviathan-era kits flooded the market, so sealed floors and used lots are both deep.
Combat Patrol and Termagant boxes move constantly. Big monsters and named organisms spike. Incomplete used swarms are common; count bases.
