With Space Marine 2 fever still rippling out across the world, it's no surprise that Games Workshop want to have some budget-friendly products available to appeal to a new wave of fans. Tyranid Attack! is the third edition of the Space Marine Adventures series – a title that many in the UK will be unaware of, as it's primarily aimed at the US market and specifically branches of Barnes & Noble.

In the game, a diverse squad of Astartes make their way into a seemingly derelict Space Hulk, only to come face-to-face with hordes of Termagants, Genestealers, and Lictors. Can they make it out alive? The question, unfortunately, should be "will they want to?"

Space Marine Adventures launched with Labyrinth of the Necrons back in 2018 and was followed up by Rise of the Orks in 2020. I can't comment on the latter having never seen a copy in the flesh, but I do own the original Necron set and, in terms of format and gameplay, Tyranid Attack! is almost identical. This is basically a reskin. In other words, it feels like a cross between the much-missed Space Hulk with elements of Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress - Games Workshop's attempt at the kind of RPG dungeon-crawlers that fill lists of the best board games.
