The '''Tyrannic Wars''' are a series of conflicts fought primarily by the [[Imperium]] on one side and one or more [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]]s on the other, in late [[M41]]:
*The '''First Tyrannic War''' (745 M41): contact with Hive Fleet [[Behemoth]] is first made on planet [[Tyran]]; Behemoth is narrowly defeated in [[Ultramar]] at the [[Battle for Macragge]];.
*The '''Second Tyrannic War''' (990-993 M41): Hive Fleet [[Kraken]] invades and is, again, narrowly defeated.
*The '''Third Tyrannic War''' (997-ongoing): Hive Fleet [[Leviathan]], the largest Tyranid force yet, invades.
