I really hope we get to do the Tyranid campaign second, they were my preference for the Tabletop and sadly the one other game you can play as them does them no justice. Dawn of War 2 is so sad for Tyranids.

As far as fun nonsense involving their ships, like everything else each Tyranid ship is a living organism and acts with the will of the Hive and HiveMind. Most notably is a tiny defenseless ship born with incredible sensory organs and exactly one actual ability. It can use the gravity of distant solar systems to create Gravity Wells that the entire Hive Fleet fall into at greater than Light Speeds. This makes Tyranids the slowest moving space faction, but their preferred method literally causes natural disasters in the solar system they’re targeting so it acts as a first blow in a war that nobody knows is happening until it’s too late.

As far as actual space combat Tyranids prefer boarding to everything else because they want that biomass.
