Hive Fleet Karkinos[1]

Karkinos is a Tyranid Hive Fleet, that appears to be a never-ending swarm. It invaded the Bastior Sub-sector, sometime after Hive Fleet Grendyllus did, during the Fourth Tyrannic War.[1]

Trivia

Hive Fleet Karkinos was created by the Games Workshop employee Steve and it was used in White Dwarf's Bunker: Crusade Campaign. It was featured in White Dwarf 499 and the Hive Fleet's color design was inspired by insects and shelled creatures.[1]
