The Hive Fleet Erebus is a small and highly evolution-prone Tyranid Hive fleet. They have been recognised as utilising heavy numbers of light infantry, overwhelming their opponents in storms of venom and borer beetle fire before shifting to exclusive usage of scything talons and rending claws. The fleet also has a similar approach in airspace, with a usage of heavy airborne support, often thick enough to block out the sun.

abstract
  • The Hive Fleet Erebus is a small and highly evolution-prone Tyranid Hive fleet. They have been recognised as utilising heavy numbers of light infantry, overwhelming their opponents in storms of venom and borer beetle fire before shifting to exclusive usage of scything talons and rending claws. The fleet also has a similar approach in airspace, with a usage of heavy airborne support, often thick enough to block out the sun. Making galactic contact amongst the first waves of Tyranids encountered in the 41st millennium, they are believed to be an evolved amalgamation of splinter fleets descended from the bulk of what would be named Hive Fleet Behemoth, with signs pointing to some similar behaviour patterns, colouration (with red pigment reduced to black) and direction of origin. Generally having survived through picking off weaker sources of biomass due to its size, the fleet has throughout its history of conflict suffered countless losses in almost equal number to the worlds it has devoured. By the late 8th century of M41, the fleet has since been officially documented as completely destroyed through a circumstantial and entirely opportunistic joint effort between the Blazing Claws and Iron Scorpions Chapters in addition to a single-company strike force believed to be of the Blood Vultures Chapter. In a sudden and ardent strike, the back of the fleet was broken, followed by a prioritised purge of all sources of synapse.
