Line 351:
* [[Pirate]]: '''IN SPACE!'''
* [[Pistol-Whipping]]: A game mechanic.
* [[Plague of Locusts]]: Figuratively. The Tyranids are often likened to a terrifying [[Horde of Alien Locusts|plague of alien locusts]]. They travel the galaxy in Hive Fleets that are so incomprehensibly massive, they are made of ''lightyears'' worth of ships at their biggest. They descend upon planets and devour everything they can with a crazed, hungry fervor - and by "everything", we ''mean'' everything. Their rampages end with the targeted planet being stripped of all life and left a barren rock. You can kill millions, if not ''billions'' of the damned things and still lose, because they always have millions and billions more to throw at you. Furthering the comparison to an apocalyptic swarm of insects is that there's no properly defined leader: all Tyranids are governed by a ravenous hive mind that is so overwhelmingly savage and powerful that it's ''impossible'' for the setting's Chaos Gods to control or corrupt.
* [[Planet Eater]]: The Tyranids are this, and intend to do it to every life-bearing planet in the galaxy.
* [[Planet of Hats]]: Applies to several races, to try and reduce their [[Separate but Identical]] nature.
