2nd Edition 40k Tyranid question

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Tyranid Attack was released in the same range as Battlefleet Gothic and some other other games, I cant remmember which, that were small boxed, stand alone games, presumably to have a stab at the board game market.

I never actually owned an army for 2nd Edition 40k but I picked up some random models and the Tyranid Codex simply because they looked great and the stories were cool...and Space Hulk 2nd edition was one of the first games I played.

Always wished I'd been able to play some of the older things like first edition Space Hulk and Space Crusade, when I was a very small kid I'd read through my Uncles old White Dwarfs and the articles on those were always fun.

I think you are thinking of the some other game, the small boxed starter games were Spacefleet, which was later Battlefleet Gothic, Kerrunch, which was a light version of Blood Bowl, Ultra Marine, which was marine scouts battling it out on Space Hulk tiles and the last was some Fantasy game which I think was a light version of Advanced Hero Quest.
