In fairness they ate most of the Blood Angels, Baal and the successor chapters. Only got hammered when the Cicatrix Maledictum opened and Guillimans Crusade Fleet turned up.
Yeah its like say "Sad that you are out for a duck but atleast you swinged the bat". They have killed no major character and lost more times than they actually won. Even a single custodian shits on swarmlord which feels like an absolute joke.
I recall that Inquisitor Kryptman tried to have Orks and Tyranids fight each other in the Octarius War but it ended up making the situation even worse for the Imperium.
Maybe not. If the orks win then they might develop an addiction to fighting tyranids and leave the galaxy en-masse to hunt down more. Tuska the demon killa is more or less a precident of this, an ork who decided that demons were better to fight than humans and made a beelive straight for the eye of terror.
Perhaps if the Orks win against the Tyranids, they’ll evolve back into Krorks, and go on a Waagh unlike anything the Galaxy has ever seen. The Necrons, having faced the Krorks before will see this and go “OH HELL NO!!!” And will side with the Imperium, and somehow get the other xeno factions like the Eldar and Tau to temporarily unite against the new green skin menace.

It's still impresses me that Tyranids can adapt to Necron weapons that strip away atoms. The most advanced science around versus the most adaptive species around.
Tbf alot of weapon in 40k should be able to strip atoms besides gauss weapons. You don't need GW to explicitely spell that one out for you. Plasma weapons should be able to do it. Melta weapons can destroy molecular bonds. Even laser weapons can do it but those laser are DAoT/ custodian.
Well, if your arm gets ripped off, its atoms will separate from you, so every weapon deals such damage. But necrons guns can shoot in leg and somehow dissolve enemy completely
@@argeltal_thewordbearer Didn't Ciaphas Cain lost his like 2 or 3 fingers because of a gauss weapon. I think the necrons gauss weapons use a type energy that speed up the rate of aging thus dismantling the molecular bonds as opposed to truly breaking bonds but the process happens so fast and spontaneous that to the human eye, it looks like disintegration as opposed to forcible ripping apart molecular bonds like plasma or lasers or melta weapons. Something like Eon from Ben 10. Kind of like how the necrons teleportation tech and self destruction tech looks indistinguishable from one another.
I think a fix would be to have these fleets be the only ones out there. Have the Tyranids consume a galaxy, only to end up with nothing to eat. Then, the Tyranids either turned on each other or simply flew out into the galaxy to find something. Hence, while most of the Tyranid Species are dead in space, there are stakes still in defeating the relatively small numbers: if they can consume an entire galaxy, they will do so to the Milky Way. So they need to stop the Tyranids, or else the cycle will repeat and end with the galaxy lifeless.

Well, think about this. Today we don't have enough scientific knowledge to assess whether "Tyranids" would be possible irl, though it seems unlikely. But if by chance it turns out they can exist, then they do already exist somewhere in the universe. Tyranids are less of a "race" and more of a natural process, like a disease or a natural disaster is. They kinda just "are".
It is very fitting that the most dangerous threat in 40k isn’t one of the pseudo fantasy races or factions, but the extragalactic insectoid hive mind, a staple in sci-fi

Also another hivemind (Other than the Flood) greater than the Tyranids should be shown to the galaxy after the Imperium loses half of their empire (and gains the entire galaxy orbiting the Milky Way as they migrate away from the Tyranids) after successfully defeating the Tyranids.
Eldar a lame race worthy of no new content besides functioning as literary cannon fodder devices. The necrons deserve to be the forefront of war hammer.
If another fuck-off huge force of any race (besides eldar and tau because reasons) showed up at terra like how chaos did during the horus heresy I would not call it a safe space.. actually I wouldnt even call it a safe space now, just cause it hasnt seen action in centuries doesnt mean its not safe... space bugs, space mushrooms and metal egyptian space dudes seem to be the most likely contenders. The biggest guns will attract the biggest enemies...
@@MrThatpersonthatguy The Necrons will never be a threat to anyone ever. They will never unite, every Phaeron wants the head of the Silent King. Every dynasty is in war with the other. As for Orks, they are in open belief that the Emperor is indeed a God and nothing can harm him. Over the last 11000 years, every single asteroid, moon, planet in the Solar system has been weaponized. Not counting the literal thousands of warships, millions of Astartes, billions of guards, forge world's running over time, the entirety of the Mechanicus, the world ending DAoT that are hoarded. And this is just the first line of defence. There's also mobile Fortress world's like Phallanx, the Rock, etc. And then you have Terra, with Custodians, Sisters of Silence, Sisters of Battle, a world that has void shields that'll can be replenished for years, able to take orbital bombardment like it's nothing, a moon that has been weaponized. The list goes on and on. Terra is not falling to a "fuck all army" as easily. The only reason the Horus Heracy did so much dmg was because it was basically the Imperium vs it's half. And the traitor half were playing from the shadows most of the time, and even when all out war broke out, most legions didn't know who was traitor or loyalist. The only ones who are a genuine threat are the Tyranids, but all hive fleets have been destroyed already, and only splinter fleets linger on.
@@vinayvenkatram8535 Didn't know those things about orks and necrons. They could always introduce more hive fleets to the universe though.

The imperium would start thanking inquisitor kryptman once he saves the entire imperium from the grand hive mind's attempt to make the milkyway galaxy it's snack
Actually, throwing two races that like feed on intence battle is a terrible idea. Thr war of Octarius is a massive problem for the Imperium because if one side happen to win, it would be big problem for the Imperium. If the Tyranids win they’ll have shitload of biomas to work with taken from the orks, as well as their geneticsl perks. If the orks with the Imperium will have en entier ork empier conposed of happy green boy u er charged of WAAAAGH energy, and that’s never a good thing (look back at the Beast).
Kronos sounds pretty fascinating, imagine seeing a bunch of nids coming and running past you to go fight the daemons who have been tearing you a new one. Sounds cool. They really out to make some more media about this universe, it's bloody good!
because it's not just the Ultramarine chapter, but their successors. The Ultramarines were, and are, effectively a Legion with the way their successors are structured.
A couple of details that I would like to point out. 1.) Tyranids cannot intentionally make use of the Warp themselves. However, the Warp can still swallow them up in random Warpstorms. Spacehulks are a good example. Even a splinter fleet of Kraken was lost in a Warpstorm only to exit some time later in the path of a Leviathan fleet. The Eldar wiped out the splinter fleet so that Leviathan couldn't receive the data Kraken had with fighting against Eldar. 2.) Kryptman's Gambit involved Inquistor Kryptman wiping out hundreds of worlds and then sending a clutch of genestealers locked in stasis into the Octarius sector - a well-known Ork empire. The genestealers became a psychic beacon to the approaching Leviathan. The ensuing war between Orks and Tyranids then became a never-ending meat grinder where neither side gaining a true advantage over the other. They're still fighting. 3.) Hive Fleet Gorgon isn't a splinter of Behemoth. And 2 Hive Ships (the big ones) survived the initial campaign, so their still around. 4.) And you missed my favorite splinter fleet - The Court of the Nephilim King. This fleet is a surviving tendril of Behemoth that has fought against Imperial Knight houses and even the Dark Angels Raven Wing, and is led by the unique Hive Tyrant - the Nephilim King. These Tyranids spawn an abnormal ratio of larger bioforms in battle instead of the usual endless wave of gaunts.
I get the feeling that the Tyranid lore is following the synopsis of pacific rim very closely. As time drags on, the “Nids” are arriving in the galaxy in increasing numbers and ferocity. In pacific rim, it was calculated that eventually the kaiju would arrive every few seconds. Essentially showing up in groups. Simply put, the time between tyranid attacks is accelerating, and eventually we will see a double invasion, and a triple one immediately after. The tyranids are the very definition of the Hydra Effect. Strike one fleet down and two more arrive to replace it. It’s likely that the tyranids will arrive so frequently, that the final hive fleet that gets a name will be seemingly never ending but in reality it’s many fleets in one. It’s possible that the final fleet will take millennia to destroy. If it can be destroyed that is.
It’s not though. Remember that all Hive Fleets are a part of the SAME Hivemind. It’s main purpose is to re-absorb failed splinter fleets, so no biomass, learned experiences is lost to the Hive Fleet. They are all the same, and part of the same organism.
Imagine if the tyranid situation got so bad that the forces of chaos and the imperium were forced to team up to deal with them. Daemon primarchs and their loyalist counterparts now forced to work with eachother. Then when the alliance finally beats back the tyranids, their depleted forces try to capitalize on eachother's weaknesses
Imagine the endgame of 40k: the scout fleets have been dealt with, but the main tyranid forces start to appear in the galaxy from all sides and above and below the galactic disc, basically unlimited trillions of tyranids fleets, new and old bioforms alike, and guilliman gets a chunk bitten outta him by the swarmlord, leading to a power-up across the entire tyranid race Then long story short, each faction realise the only way they will survive the tyranids is if they pool their resources, even irks Hence an imperium-eldar-tau-necron-chaos-ork alliance, with no limit of backstabbing, in a futile final attempt to save the galaxy, especially since the silent king wants there to still b a galaxy left once the necrons wipe everyone else out, chaos understands that tyranids ends warp rifts wherever they go and... well I'm not sure how orks could get convinced to join up
"O great Old One, did you find a way to protect our sugar cane from bugs?" "Yeah, I found another species of bigger and rather hungry spikey bugs in the next galaxy. We gonna release them here, they eat the bugs threatening our sugar cane and we are fine. What could possibly go wrong?"
Lutien06 has a few of videos that will get you aquatinted with the other hive fleets and what they’ve accomplished. I recommend watching the tyranid first contact video first as it gives you a great overview of the bugs early history and their tactics.
major kill makes his videos with authencity charm and inner confidence like his life depends on it and he enjoys doing it and this is why this is one of my top favorite if not favorite chanel ever motivating the core of each primarch to remind them that no matter what they go through they are appreciated and primarch lives matter plm
The nids should have destroyed ultrama/ caused guilliman's resurrection. It would have given the smurf's an actual pyrrhic victory instead of papa smurf loosing a few easily replaceable limbs.
The hive fleet Gorgon story is honestly kinda cool, because it was literally the most biologically adaptable faction facing off against the most technologically adaptable faction. A proper brawl between the Tyranid and the Tau. The victory over Gorgon is also the reason Farsight recovered from his crisis of faith and is back being a badass.
Would love some lore stuff on outcome from that ork bulwark against the tyranids. Would the orks "level up" to the their prime like in the war in heaven? Its constant war for them versus the tyranids. Party time for the orks.
Hive Fleet Megalodon is my go-to and is what I'm painting my 'Nids as. There's no official color scheme for them and not too much lore so you can just have fun. Plus, Megalodon is a cool name.
If i remember correctly one of the hive fleets specifically targets other tyrannid hive fleets. I dont remember why but i think its something to do with collecting all the different bio-traits from the other fleets.
That's cool. I think the limiting factor would be the fact that DNA is super complicated and therefore mass quality replication and editing of genomes takes a long time
Oh sick! I love these style videos you do. And I am legit interested in the various Tyranid Hivefleets. Definitely going to be giving this a listen. Thanks!
Hey maj, you should totally make a primarch tier list video. I think it would be pretty entertaining listening to you describe your reasoning for every ranking.
Ah, the Swarmlord. Remember when beating him in single combat was an accomplishment? Now I'm pretty sure every member of the Ultramarines 10th company has done it. Some of them twice.
Rewatching your older Tyranid vids to this makes me happy how much better your pronunciation has gotten, along with many other improvements. Thanks MajorKill, work on Ouroboros though lol
Tyranids are terrifying because they essentially act as a combination of lizard men and skaven. Apex predators that hard counter chaos that come from great spawning pools and have big toothy monsters, but that also operate as a chittering horde of bodies that can infiltrate and weaken settlements from within. Personally, I like the theory that the Hive Mind is a surviving Old One that created the Tyranids to wipe the galaxy clean to start again. Tyranids store the dna of everything they consume, creating a vast genetic library should be galaxy need to be re-seeded
I prefer the idea that they're a wholly separate force. Our galaxy has had all these factions fighting for control, while in another part of the universe the Tyranids fought their own galaxy's factions and came out the winners. They weren't engineered or bred, they simply evolved to dominate.
I mean, there's SORT of a justification for it. If you assume that the Tyranids have ruled the Milky Way as a whole is not up to the task of resisting the main Tyranid swarm, then farming the Milky Way for exp by engaging in pitched, losing battles instead of effortlessly stomping them makes sense. The Tyranids hunger for experience, too. They'll win either way, but by sandbagging the Milky Way, they stand to gain more battle experience from the galaxy, especially from some of the potentially more unique opponents, like daemons or Necrons.
SO wish there was a Space Marine 2 game where Titus (who somehow survived Inquisitorial judgement) and his new squad take on another Ork Waagh. However, later, they learn that a Tyranid hive fleet is approaching and Titus must help an Inquisitor use a warp project to swallow the hive fleet. Titus, having been in this exact situation before, initially refuses, and tries to have the survivors of the Ork invasion evacuated. However, Titus soon discovers that most of the survivors were taken and killed by a Genestealer cult underground. This cult is unique in that it uses the biomass from both the Orks and human survivors to create a horde of Gaunts and other lower ranking Tyranids all birthed from the planet. Furthermore, with the hive fleet so close to the world, communications are blocked and reinforcements as well as extraction are impossible. Left with literally no other option, Titus reluctantly protects the Inquisitor and allows him/her to use the warp device. It succeeds, and the Hive Fleet is consumed by a Warp Storm. Now with the hive fleet gone, Titus Vox’s for reinforcements and extraction. He, his squad, and whoever was blessed enough to survive all of that take position inside the capital building, and defend themselves from waves upon waves of Genestealers and Tyranids, until finally reinforcements arrive, and everybody is rescued.
Honestly, if the Tyrannids do make a grand entrance, the only hope for the inhabitants of the galaxy to survive is for the Orks to throw together the biggest Waagh! ever at the same time Khorne unleashes the full fury of Chaos. And then the three sides all duke it out in an epic Battle Royalle.
Hey majorkill, the fact that you haven’t referred to the hive fleets invading the galaxy as Tentacle Porn on a Galactic Scale is really disappointing to me
You know after hearing about all the hive fleets getting destroyed the tyranid seem less scary now. I wouldn’t class them as a low level threat but definitely less scary.
It is worth mentioning that there are like 20+ extra hive fleets, but their canonicity is in question, due to mainly showing up in Warhammer Visions and White Dwarf magazines. That being said, some canon hive fleets he didn't mention are The Court of the Nephilim King, Calth strain Epsilon, Cicatrix, Crimson Maw, Miral Rex, Kaetus, and Scitalis.
Hoping that if the bulk of the Tyranids ever show up that it gets called Hive Fleet Giger. Only fair that midnight hour gets to be named after it's original inspiration.
This narrative paints an intense and dramatic picture of the Tyranid invasion, describing the vastness of the threat and the desperation of humanity's resistance. The vivid imagery and the use of music and sound effects add a sense of urgency and theatricality to the story. The comparison to a candle flickering in the storm creates a chilling effect, emphasizing the precarious nature of humanity's struggle against the Tyranids. The mention of Space Marines, the Astra Militarum, and the Inquisition further highlights the dire situation and the magnitude of the challenge ahead.And so the gauntlet is thrown! The Tyranids, an insidious collective of alien terrors, now threaten to consume the very fabric of our existence.

We're talking claws, talons, and those wicked-looking scythes that could slice through a tank like it's a birthday cake. And the worst part? They don't even leave you a doggy bag.

The Imperial Guard's got their lasguns, right? But it's like bringing a peashooter to a tank fight. Sure, you might take one or two down, but for every one you drop, a dozen more are already chewing through your mate next to you. Then there's the psychic horror of the Hive Mind. It's like every Tyranid is a piece of some cosmic jigsaw puzzle, all snapping into place to create one massive, hungry picture. They don't just fight; they coordinate like they've got some bloody telepathic rugby coach. And the cleanup? Forget about it. They absorb everything, even the buildings, the ground, the water. They're like a walking, gnashing compost heap, turning everything into more Tyranids.

They are like a legion of monstrous, intergalactic predators, rampaging through the stars, leaving behind lifeless husks in their wake. With no individuality, they operate as one colossal, voracious hive mind, united in their singular purpose: annihilation. Stay tuned, for the fight for our very survival is about to ignite! The clash of worlds is upon us!
Necrons should take over the galaxy They could crush the Tyranids They don’t rely on warp travel so they could counter the Tyranids shadow in the warp hard and catch the hive fleets in transit and get destroyed by a necron fleet Also they are made of metal so no biomass
Until the Tyranids find a way to consume what the Necrons are made out of. Also the Tyranids do eat metal. They strip worlds of all biomass which includes gasses and minerals (including metal).

Tyranids are less of a "race" and more of a natural process, like a disease or a natural disaster is. They kinda just "are".
It is very fitting that the most dangerous threat in 40k isn’t one of the pseudo fantasy races or factions, but the extragalactic insectoid hive mind, a staple in sci-fi
BS, Chaos is much more dangerous. It has devoured the Fantasy Universe

Very.
If another fuck-off huge force of any race (besides eldar and tau because reasons) showed up at terra like how chaos did during the horus heresy I would not call it a safe space.. actually I wouldnt even call it a safe space now, just cause it hasnt seen action in centuries doesnt mean its not safe... space bugs, space mushrooms and metal egyptian space dudes seem to be the most likely contenders. The biggest guns will attract the biggest enemies...
@@MrThatpersonthatguy The Necrons will never be a threat to anyone ever. They will never unite, every Phaeron wants the head of the Silent King. Every dynasty is in war with the other. As for Orks, they are in open belief that the Emperor is indeed a God and nothing can harm him. Over the last 11000 years, every single asteroid, moon, planet in the Solar system has been weaponized. Not counting the literal thousands of warships, millions of Astartes, billions of guards, forge world's running over time, the entirety of the Mechanicus, the world ending DAoT that are hoarded. And this is just the first line of defence. There's also mobile Fortress world's like Phallanx, the Rock, etc. And then you have Terra, with Custodians, Sisters of Silence, Sisters of Battle, a world that has void shields that'll can be replenished for years, able to take orbital bombardment like it's nothing, a moon that has been weaponized. The list goes on and on. Terra is not falling to a "fuck all army" as easily. The only reason the Horus Heracy did so much dmg was because it was basically the Imperium vs it's half. And the traitor half were playing from the shadows most of the time, and even when all out war broke out, most legions didn't know who was traitor or loyalist.
The only ones who are a genuine threat are the Tyranids, but all hive fleets have been destroyed already, and only splinter fleets linger on.
@@vinayvenkatram8535 Didn't know those things about orks and necrons. They could always introduce more hive fleets to the universe though. But from this information it sounds like the prophecy of the imperium falling into stagnation and ruin after the horus heresy was wrong. If Constantine valdor is able to find the emperors true name and resurrect him then everything will not be as grimdark as this universe purports itself to be
I'm just sitting here patiently waiting for some Tyranid vs Necron action.
@Lord Balthos Ad Inferni i cant remember where i heared it but there was a necron faction that does tend to fight the nids, mostly because that faction wanted to return to organic bodies, and well they cant do that if the nids eat everything first
@Lord Balthos Ad Inferni The Necrons (I want to say Mephrit dynasty?) did team up at least once with the Blood Angels to fight the nids, where the Silent King himself (whilst wearing the mask of sanguinius) told Chapter Master Dante the nids are basically the biggest enemy of the Necrons, presumably, as Nitebones refers to, the desire on behalf of some Necrons to return their souls to mortal flesh
I don't think Nids reproduce sexually and neither the Necrons at this point.
@@RandomiusBronius nids creat their units in spawning pools and then distory them once done, and necrons just replace their souls into a new body every time a body is lost

How 1000 Ultramarines were alble to deal with that many Hive Fleets, each numbering millions of Tyranids, I don't even know.
Because they're Ultramarines. They're like Marines, but _Ultra._
Well, Behemoth parts 1 2 and 3 are an example of Marneus Calgar tapping in for round 2 and "And then we won"...
They have MK IX Plot Armour. They are the Rey of 40K.
Fucking Matt...
...Ward
because it's not just the Ultramarine chapter, but their successors. The Ultramarines were, and are, effectively a Legion with the way their successors are structured.
A couple of details that I would like to point out.
1.) Tyranids cannot intentionally make use of the Warp themselves. However, the Warp can still swallow them up in random Warpstorms. Spacehulks are a good example. Even a splinter fleet of Kraken was lost in a Warpstorm only to exit some time later in the path of a Leviathan fleet. The Eldar wiped out the splinter fleet so that Leviathan couldn't receive the data Kraken had with fighting against Eldar.
2.) Kryptman's Gambit involved Inquistor Kryptman wiping out hundreds of worlds and then sending a clutch of genestealers locked in stasis into the Octarius sector - a well-known Ork empire. The genestealers became a psychic beacon to the approaching Leviathan. The ensuing war between Orks and Tyranids then became a never-ending meat grinder where neither side gaining a true advantage over the other. They're still fighting.
3.) Hive Fleet Gorgon isn't a splinter of Behemoth. And 2 Hive Ships (the big ones) survived the initial campaign, so their still around.
4.) And you missed my favorite splinter fleet - The Court of the Nephilim King. This fleet is a surviving tendril of Behemoth that has fought against Imperial Knight houses and even the Dark Angels Raven Wing, and is led by the unique Hive Tyrant - the Nephilim King. These Tyranids spawn an abnormal ratio of larger bioforms in battle instead of the usual endless wave of gaunts.
Majorkill struggling to say ouroboros without ever bothering to look up the pronunciation is the only reason I liked this video.
I get the feeling that the Tyranid lore is following the synopsis of pacific rim very closely. As time drags on, the “Nids” are arriving in the galaxy in increasing numbers and ferocity. In pacific rim, it was calculated that eventually the kaiju would arrive every few seconds. Essentially showing up in groups. Simply put, the time between tyranid attacks is accelerating, and eventually we will see a double invasion, and a triple one immediately after. The tyranids are the very definition of the Hydra Effect. Strike one fleet down and two more arrive to replace it. It’s likely that the tyranids will arrive so frequently, that the final hive fleet that gets a name will be seemingly never ending but in reality it’s many fleets in one. It’s possible that the final fleet will take millennia to destroy. If it can be destroyed that is.

Fakin skitz
Whatyatalkinbeeet ya druggo
Hydra is the cannibal hive fleet, im really interested to see if that one gets fleshed out
It’s not though. Remember that all Hive Fleets are a part of the SAME Hivemind. It’s main purpose is to re-absorb failed splinter fleets, so no biomass, learned experiences is lost to the Hive Fleet. They are all the same, and part of the same organism.
Imagine if the tyranid situation got so bad that the forces of chaos and the imperium were forced to team up to deal with them. Daemon primarchs and their loyalist counterparts now forced to work with eachother. Then when the alliance finally beats back the tyranids, their depleted forces try to capitalize on eachother's weaknesses
Imagine the endgame of 40k: the scout fleets have been dealt with, but the main tyranid forces start to appear in the galaxy from all sides and above and below the galactic disc, basically unlimited trillions of tyranids fleets, new and old bioforms alike, and guilliman gets a chunk bitten outta him by the swarmlord, leading to a power-up across the entire tyranid race
Then long story short, each faction realise the only way they will survive the tyranids is if they pool their resources, even irks
Hence an imperium-eldar-tau-necron-chaos-ork alliance, with no limit of backstabbing, in a futile final attempt to save the galaxy, especially since the silent king wants there to still b a galaxy left once the necrons wipe everyone else out, chaos understands that tyranids ends warp rifts wherever they go and... well I'm not sure how orks could get convinced to join up

The hive fleet Gorgon story is honestly kinda cool, because it was literally the most biologically adaptable faction facing off against the most technologically adaptable faction. A proper brawl between the Tyranid and the Tau. The victory over Gorgon is also the reason Farsight recovered from his crisis of faith and is back being a badass.
Would love some lore stuff on outcome from that ork bulwark against the tyranids. Would the orks "level up" to the their prime like in the war in heaven? Its constant war for them versus the tyranids.
Party time for the orks.
Hive Fleet Megalodon is my go-to and is what I'm painting my 'Nids as. There's no official color scheme for them and not too much lore so you can just have fun. Plus, Megalodon is a cool name.
If i remember correctly one of the hive fleets specifically targets other tyrannid hive fleets. I dont remember why but i think its something to do with collecting all the different bio-traits from the other fleets.

Imagine a hive fleet that can on the spot evolve according to the enemy instead of needing to pop out already evolved tyranids.

Tyranids tabletop: ....oh.
Tyranids are terrifying because they essentially act as a combination of lizard men and skaven. Apex predators that hard counter chaos that come from great spawning pools and have big toothy monsters, but that also operate as a chittering horde of bodies that can infiltrate and weaken settlements from within. Personally, I like the theory that the Hive Mind is a surviving Old One that created the Tyranids to wipe the galaxy clean to start again. Tyranids store the dna of everything they consume, creating a vast genetic library should be galaxy need to be re-seeded
Tyranids is my favourite race, thanks for the video Timmy
I still like to imagine that the Tyranids are a bioweapon by the old ones that fled the milky way during the war in heaven
I prefer the idea that they're a wholly separate force. Our galaxy has had all these factions fighting for control, while in another part of the universe the Tyranids fought their own galaxy's factions and came out the winners. They weren't engineered or bred, they simply evolved to dominate.
I just want everyone to know his pronounciation isnt because of his accent, he just doesnt know words.
So they abandoned their terrifying, highly effective raiding strategy for... reasons.
Yo GW if you wanna retcon something.
I mean, there's SORT of a justification for it. If you assume that the Tyranids have ruled the Milky Way as a whole is not up to the task of resisting the main Tyranid swarm, then farming the Milky Way for exp by engaging in pitched, losing battles instead of effortlessly stomping them makes sense. The Tyranids hunger for experience, too. They'll win either way, but by sandbagging the Milky Way, they stand to gain more battle experience from the galaxy, especially from some of the potentially more unique opponents, like daemons or Necrons.
Oh finally! I've been waiting for someone to talk about them all, so far no one has bothered to talk about the Hive Fleets.
I love how you just decide to board a hive ship to see what happens 😂😂😂
I'm DE player so I just learned something new today, bloody excellent 😂
SO wish there was a Space Marine 2 game where Titus (who somehow survived Inquisitorial judgement) and his new squad take on another Ork Waagh. However, later, they learn that a Tyranid hive fleet is approaching and Titus must help an Inquisitor use a warp project to swallow the hive fleet. Titus, having been in this exact situation before, initially refuses, and tries to have the survivors of the Ork invasion evacuated. However, Titus soon discovers that most of the survivors were taken and killed by a Genestealer cult underground. This cult is unique in that it uses the biomass from both the Orks and human survivors to create a horde of Gaunts and other lower ranking Tyranids all birthed from the planet. Furthermore, with the hive fleet so close to the world, communications are blocked and reinforcements as well as extraction are impossible. Left with literally no other option, Titus reluctantly protects the Inquisitor and allows him/her to use the warp device. It succeeds, and the Hive Fleet is consumed by a Warp Storm. Now with the hive fleet gone, Titus Vox’s for reinforcements and extraction. He, his squad, and whoever was blessed enough to survive all of that take position inside the capital building, and defend themselves from waves upon waves of Genestealers and Tyranids, until finally reinforcements arrive, and everybody is rescued.
0:44 I will refer to iCloud as the hive mind from now on
Honestly, if the Tyrannids do make a grand entrance, the only hope for the inhabitants of the galaxy to survive is for the Orks to throw together the biggest Waagh! ever at the same time Khorne unleashes the full fury of Chaos. And then the three sides all duke it out in an epic Battle Royalle.

You know after hearing about all the hive fleets getting destroyed the tyranid seem less scary now. I wouldn’t class them as a low level threat but definitely less scary.
It is worth mentioning that there are like 20+ extra hive fleets, but their canonicity is in question, due to mainly showing up in Warhammer Visions and White Dwarf magazines. That being said, some canon hive fleets he didn't mention are The Court of the Nephilim King, Calth strain Epsilon, Cicatrix, Crimson Maw, Miral Rex, Kaetus, and Scitalis.
Hoping that if the bulk of the Tyranids ever show up that it gets called Hive Fleet Giger. Only fair that midnight hour gets to be named after it's original inspiration.
Hive Fleet Ni-
This narrative paints an intense and dramatic picture of the Tyranid invasion, describing the vastness of the threat and the desperation of humanity's resistance. The vivid imagery and the use of music and sound effects add a sense of urgency and theatricality to the story. The comparison to a candle flickering in the storm creates a chilling effect, emphasizing the precarious nature of humanity's struggle against the Tyranids. The mention of Space Marines, the Astra Militarum, and the Inquisition further highlights the dire situation and the magnitude of the challenge ahead.And so the gauntlet is thrown! The Tyranids, an insidious collective of alien terrors, now threaten to consume the very fabric of our existence.

With courage and determination, they rise to meet the challenge, arming themselves against the alien tide with lasguns and bolters.Good day guys n gal. Alright, challenge accepted! Here's a short story in the Majorkill way of speaking about the Tyranid invasion:
"Picture this, mate: the galaxy is at the mercy of these bloody Tyranids, a horde of alien monsters hell-bent on devouring every living thing in their path. They're like a swarm of gigantic intergalactic cockroaches, but with teeth. We're talking about swarms of these monstrosities charging across the galaxy, munching on planets, and leaving nothing but a barren wasteland behind. And the worst part? They don't even have any cool personalities. Just one big, hungry collective."Here's a continuation in the same style:
"They don't just come for the buffet, they bring their own cutlery, mate. We're talking claws, talons, and those wicked-looking scythes that could slice through a tank like it's a birthday cake. And the worst part? They don't even leave you a doggy bag.
You got these massive Hive Tyrants, strutting around like they own the place, which I guess they do, considering they're about to turn your home into a snack. Then there are the Broodlords, sneaking in like ninjas, all silent and deadly. And let's not forget the Lictors, the Tyranid version of a bloody ninja with better camouflage than your average sniper.
The Imperial Guard's got their lasguns, right? But it's like bringing a peashooter to a tank fight. Sure, you might take one or two down, but for every one you drop, a dozen more are already chewing through your mate next to you.
Then there's the psychic horror of the Hive Mind. It's like every Tyranid is a piece of some cosmic jigsaw puzzle, all snapping into place to create one massive, hungry picture. They don't just fight; they coordinate like they've got some bloody telepathic rugby coach.
And the cleanup? Forget about it. They absorb everything, even the buildings, the ground, the water. They're like a walking, gnashing compost heap, turning everything into more Tyranids. The galaxy's been turned into an all-you-can-eat, and we're the bloody main course."With the arrival of Hive Fleet Tiamat, the galaxy braces itself for the harshest of ordeals. This insidious Tyranid force barrels through the stars with an unbridled hunger, consuming all in its path. No world is safe as the Hive Fleet advances, its monstrous forms sowing chaos and devastation. Humanity, however, refuses to surrender. With courage and determination, they rise to meet the challenge, arming themselves against the alien tide with lasguns and bolters.I feel ya, mate. Them Tyranids ain't playing by the rules, and they definitely ain't got no etiquette. They just come plowing through everything, leaving nothing but a barren wasteland behind 'em. And as for the cleanup, they're like nature's own cleaning crew, only instead of scrubbing things clean, they're turning everything into more of themselves. It's like they're on a mission to make the whole galaxy their personal all-you-can-eat buffet, and we're the main course. Gotta admit, it's both terrifying and kinda gross at the same time.[Upbeat music swells]
Narrator: Brace yourselves, warriors of the stars! Picture this: the galaxy trembles as the Tyranids unleash a relentless assault, an invasion that transcends mere alien hostility. This is a nightmarish tide of grotesque monstrosities, ravenous and unyielding, sweeping across the cosmos like a cataclysmic storm, devouring everything in their path.
These are not your typical invaders! No, these abominations adapt, evolve, and consume with chilling efficiency. Entire worlds crumble under their insatiable hunger, vibrant landscapes morphing into desolate wastelands, stripped bare of life and hope. The very essence of existence teeters on the brink!
But do not dare to lose faith! Humanity stands defiantly, armed with lasguns, bolters, and an unquenchable flame of resistance. The Imperium rallies its might, summoning the indomitable Space Marines, the steadfast Astra Militarum, and the enigmatic Inquisition.
Get ready for epic clashes, my friend! Titans will collide, and the skies will darken with the ominous silhouettes of bio-ships. Will we hold the line against this insatiable tide, or will the Tyranids feast upon the very fabric of our reality?
The battle for survival is only just beginning!
[Upbeat music fades out]
Now, envision this: the galaxy lies at the mercy of the Tyranids, an insatiable swarm of alien horrors intent on devouring every living soul. They are like a legion of monstrous, intergalactic predators, rampaging through the stars, leaving behind lifeless husks in their wake. With no individuality, they operate as one colossal, voracious hive mind, united in their singular purpose: annihilation.
Stay tuned, for the fight for our very survival is about to ignite! The clash of worlds is upon us!
And then they are defeated and it's as if they were never there at all 😅
