They war neverendlingly amongst themselves whenever no other races are nearby. They don't just magically get stronger without limit from being attacked, if they did then there'd be absolutely no way for any faction to ever beat an ork army. And yes the Imperium (and all the other factions) routinely purge them from planets/systems. War makes *individual* ork bosses stronger, assuming they survive it. Its how megabosses are created; it's self-regulating, because the biggest orks constantly kill eachother to vie for control of the waaagh. The Tyranids are the perfect counter to them; both the ork empire and the hive fleet were threats that had a great chance of destroying the Imperium. Instead they're busy with eachother, slowly burning away supplies and resources. Entropy means that they can't keep replenishing their forces forever, they'll bleed all those planets dry (and eachother's forces) of all minerals and biomass eventually. This isn't a permanent solution, but it gives the Imperium decades to prepare for whichever faction emerges victorious. Time that they absolutely did not have if the Hive Fleet hadn't been redirected. Time that they're spending fortifying neighboring systems, raising armies, and running special ops to study/sabotage both foes.
No longer boredom will ever be in front of them again. I'm actually surprised more orks or not heading over to the sector of space they happen to be in with the tyranids.

@@Turnil321 but it's a problem that can be balanced with significantly less material cost. The Nids start winning, attack them a little bit, if the Orkz start winning attack them a little bit.
@@somethinglikethat2176 The Imperium is not precise & quick & knowledgeable enough to make such balancing acts. We're talking about dozens of lightyears of Okr and Tyranid infested territory, any form of scouting mission is effectively impossible. Even if accurate intel is somehow gathered, it is hard with all the warp spheghetti and administrative nonsense to get enough warriors & ships to strike while the best opportunity presents itself. Even if said military resources were gathered in time, the execution of such a campaign is difficult considering the blunt nature of most of the Imperium's military. Precision strikes are best accomplished by Adeptus Astartes strike forces, of which there are only a few chapters around Octarius. It's bound to get unbalanced at some point. It already is. The Tyranids are slowly but surely gaining the upper hand.
Both Xenos rely on biomass, landing forces only gives access to the function of their wars, they need to go full alpha legion and hit&run. Heavy strafe runs to obliterate the biomass one country sized chunk at a time. Itll take all the resources possible to get it done, but every man landed in that sector simply adds to the problem long term.

@@conan2096 Not just that, it was also "they can't follow our planets like a trail of breadcrumbs to the heart of the Imperium, potentially leaving us two fronts to fight; 1 vs the biggest ork empire ever seen by mankind, and 1 vs the hive fleet". He was right, mankind would've gone extinct. They weren't prepared for either threat.
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy It was even simpler. If Imperium never had a chance, he hadn't worsened the situation anyway. If there's a chance - there's time needed to devise a plan.
Kryptman was a monster who killed more humans than most Chaos incursions. But the scariest thing is that he was correct in doing so. Without his intervention, the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan would have had free reign in that sector. Kryptman is peak 40k "Lesser of Two Evils."
I really love the concept of the ORKS, of all species, coming up with such an important invention which could upend the balance of power across the galaxy to the point that the Imperium takes an interest in it. It helps emphasize that the strength of the orks is not just their physical toughness and love of fighting, but their freewheeling creativity and reckless love of experimentation.

Luetin I like many others as you have mentioned watch your videos in bed as an almost sleep aid. Which seems weird but you have a great voice and the content is interesting. As an added benefit i get to rewatch many of the vids as sometimes I am asleep for half the vids. I suspect we are roughly the same age and from the same initial era of 40k 2 edition being my absolute bread and butter with a tiny bit of 3rd edition near the end of it when i re engaged with the hobby. Would love a video on the life of a guardsman serving in a tank. maybe what each crewman goes through, the horrible conditions inside a leman russ , what they have to deal with, etc. reloading weapons, the roles they have keeping their tank going ( a little like the movie Sahara with the m3 lee tank.
Oh, absolutely the same here. The way he edits his audio to be pretty level while letting the pacing do the emphasis (instead of loud/quiet segments with some youtubers) really lends itself well to half-sleep listening.
I often watch videos like this (also on other lore and series etc) while multitasking work or chores, or when going to sleep, and I also end up rewatching a ton of videos due to either cutting it short or missing parts of it. Really enjoy his style of narration and I've fallen in love with 40k lore. I really enjoy the fact that the videos are longer and have more content in them than a lot of other youtubers videos... Long videos are probably a big no-no from the viewpoint of youtube statistics, but I really like watching one long video more than several short ones
No one likes ads, but I have to say I love you're pushing audible. Though I am a printed page guy, anything that gets people reading is outstanding. Props to you, good sir.
Meanwhile, on Thanatos; Two Necron Crypteks sit at the orrery as they watch the Octarius sector. Rhamak Who Watches raises a cup like object to where his mouth would be and goes through the motion of drinking as a dark liquid flows down his face and frame, Necrons long since losing the ability to ingest substances to begin with, doesn't stop the Cryptek from the sense of normalcy with the situation. His unblinking ocular focused on the sector as conflict ebbs and flows throughout the system but never beyond it. "So..." he speaks almost hesitantly as if he had already knew how this conversation would play out. "Are we going to turn the lights out on this one or not?" Ramzah Who Waits doesn't move his gaze from the sector as if completely lost in his own ponderings replies sharply "Not yet. We do not have certainty yet."
I remember a GW staffer years ago fanficing this war while we were chatting the shit during a casual game. The outcome is either Ork Hive fleet veterans that got so beefed up by the constant battle that they become an unstoppable force adapting many Tyranid units like genestealers and lictors traits to compete with those units. So they develop weapons made of nid parts and simply got really strong as to equal the best in Tyranid deadliness. As well as adopting various toxins into their weaponry and gaining immunities from these toxins due to the constant exposure. Or you have a Hive fleet with Waaagh energy inside its hivemind. nuff said. Oh and Ork Genestealer cult.
I'm not sure Orks could be affected by a Genestealer cult so much. They are a fungus after all, there's no easy way to get the next generation of the cult our and about. ...Right?
@@FlummoxedFish I mean its orks. they reproduce from the spores of the dead right? So wouldn't they just keep fighting each other to keep spreading spores? And each generation gains a stronger strain of the gene stealer gene. It doesn't need to be via dimorphic reproduction.
@@ceresbane Pretty sure it's just that they put out spores but then a massive dump of them when they die. Guess the question is whether a Genestealer could hijack the spore process or if the spores are such that the Genestealer would need to infect them individually. If there's a race apart from the Necrons that would be immune it would be the Orks.
@@ceresbane I get you there. Not saying they couldn't do it, just that the argument could go either way. I think it would be ridiculous that the Genestealers could hijack the spores, but the Genestealers are already pretty darn ridiculous. Probably comes down to how much Genestealery goodness the lucky writer wants in the story.
LUETIN!! Man every time you post I hope your vocal cords are doing just a little bit better, I love your content and don't want to lose you to over exerting your chords ... You need to take a insurance policy out on your vocal chords haha
I love luetin’s content because it’s the best channel to learn lore from and when I have trouble sleeping(like now) he can tell me a grim dark bedtime story with his amazing voice
I would live to see a book about the sector with the perspective of the Eldar looking into the system. Seeing the Orks building large planets full of Orks, the technology, the massive Orks this creates, almost reminding the Eldar of the legend of the Krorks. Massive Hive fleet that is getting to large to be contained. Creating a huge hive of synaptic distortion at the center with waves of creatures consuming planets endlessly. Then the thin military for guarding the rim of the Imperium and them trying to lose the least amount of resources as possible in an never ending grind of flesh and boltshells. I think that would be cool if the Eldar has to try and help contain this mess.
Kryptman did nothing wrong. It was ironically the inquisition’s desire to be more humane than usual that allowed for this situation to spiral out of control. Knowing what we know about tyranids, letting them burn out and denying them biomass certainly is the optimal route. Throwing soldiers into their mouths is detrimental in the long run and honestly is probably going to have a higher body count in the long run.
@@NauticalCoffin2404 bait them to a planet rich in biomatter then exterminatus as the tyranids invade. They won’t be able to recover the losses. This was the key to kryptmans plan
Spoilers: Octarius got devoured the Overfiend just got nommed, the Ork Empire is split between 6 Ork warlords. The Nids are going to be the eventual victors of the conflict. Source: Octarius: Critical Mass
One of my favorite fan fictions is that of a small system in the octarus sector containing a forge and hive world allying with the Orcs: Providing them scrap and weapons in exchange for fighting the tyranids, and the Orcs get really pissy if other Orcs try to fight their humies, sayin stuff like “only we gets ta bash dere heads in. They giving us good scrap ya grot. Why ruin a good waaagh over dem bein humies?”
As big as an ask as this must be: is there any way you could mention the source material for your videos? I understand how impossible it would be to cite every source and quote, but you must have notes and maybe you could list a few top books/codexs in each video description?
Hey LT, I just wanted to tell you I listen to the lore in order playlist while I’m at work everyday. When I finish the playlist I restart and go back to the beginning. Keep up the fantastic work, I’ve never played 40k but you have made me fall in love with its story.
You're going to find yourself one day. Awaking inside the Black Library of GW. Wearing scrib robes. While the Council of GW. Staring down at your awakening and orders you to organize the lore of all 40K.
Possibly the best narrator on UA-cam. While I enjoyed messing about with 40K games and always had an interest in getting into the models it was listening to your videos that got me into the 40K lore. Thank you for the continuing high calibre content.
I was very curious about the latest developments on the Octarius War but I haven't had the chance to delve into it yet. So, thanks. This was a nice surprise.
Maybe this is the end of WH40K franchise too, there is no way unless a fleet of hundreds of human capital ships from The Age of Technology, similar to the unfinished ships that Adeptus Mechanicus has on MArs that can shoot Black Holes by some way travel to future and unlease volley of Black holes to other faction to save humanity.
A story from the perspective of the Tyranids would be difficult but doable. For example, and if I'm not mistaken, the norn queens do maintain a sort of psychic conference with one another in order to share data on biomorph and bioform development. It would be interesting if they "argued" over efficacy and had a ingrained biological need to compete with and try and out do the others brood adaptions. A competitive work place environment certainly would be relatable despite Tyranids being completely alien in most other aspects.
Woah woah, Kryptman is still keeping tabs on the Octarius war?? Last I heard he was off investigating what Hive fleet Tiamat have set up on those planets they're holding
My guess: the crown will allow a powerful warboss to gain momentum and start putting the Tyranids on the backfoot. To both cripple his Waagh and re-establish the stalemate, a team of special Imperial forces will have to undertake a suicide mission to kill said warboss and destroy the crown for good. And thus, the only weapon truly capable of defeating the Tyranid menace will be lost forever. #Inevitable
Went out and bought the hardbacks for the Dark Imperium trilogy some months ago, Leutin bringing me back to being a reading fellow once again, thank you sir. I've not gotten too far, but from what I've read it has been quite enjoyable so far!
While I know you normally don't really like the T'au, there are dozens of us who do. Would you mind giving them a second chance and cover some of the new lore for them?
@Greg Fisher eh yeah no, the tau are bloody useless in glorious melee plus they have a vagina built right into their heads which I guess slaaneshy deamons or followers would enjoy but me personally I'll take a pass and instead continue to shed blood and present skulls to almighty khorn. Oh P.S. I enjoyed seeing the Death Guard pulverize an entire tau fleet with very little effort, it was entertaining and even khorne himself was laughing his ass off.
I like hearing about the tau, but they almost don't fit into Warhammer. Or they fit but going forward with what they've established so far seems difficult. Kinda feels like just an excuse to add japanese style mechs and stuff into Warhammer without too much thought into what it means to add a race of xeno that advance extremely quickly in a galaxy stuck technologically
@@thedarkcorrupter their darkness comes from their naivete and the loss of innocence. Stories involving them should be ones that confront their idea of a greater good. But everyone just decides they don't fit the setting and crap all over them. I mean, out of all the 40k races only the Orks and nidds aren't grim dark themselves. They are forces that are used to enhance the darkness of the setting.
@@thedarkcorrupter Dunno man.The 4th sphere of expansion was quite dark to tau standards.I think the kroot are in open revolt as they are tired for being killed by 4th expasionist tau armies.

Me normally on youtube : ouff 12 minutes video length ? Ain´t nobody got time for that. Me watching luetin : what do you mean only 40 minutes ? No fair.
Dude your voice makes me so relaxed and it’s amazing how much effort and research you put into your videos. Nobody else does warhammer lore videos better in my opinion. The only downside is I’ve now watched all of your videos and need MORE!
Excellent idea with Dark Imperium, Plague War and Godblight - I just finished Dark Imperium and going on to Plague War, (after a Ciaphas Cain book) and Ill definitely be done by the end of the year - looking forward to that and more Octarius stuff!
Over the weekend I've been very close to jumping back into 40k via the new Kill Team box. Seeing this video pop up covering the lore of the kill team setting is definitely a sign that I should take the plunge. Thank you!
I have to say that it would be extremely interesting to read a story from the tyranid perspective. Imagine a story similar to the story of specimen 6 from Alien VS Predator, following some specific tyranid as he tears through orks & imperials alike!
I’ve been watching/listening to your videos for many months now and I can honestly say I’d rather listen to your explanations of the lore in my free time than do pretty much anything else! I don’t play or paint miniatures but you’re gradually encouraging me every day to take a deep breath and finally walk into the Warhammer store - which is literally next door to the shop where I work. Thank you for the clearly immeasurable effort and dedication you put into these incredible works. I would love to hear you reading more from the books, particularly those that are no longer in print. Cheers!
It's always the same story pattern: The empire is attacked hard and without warning, victories can only be achieved with superhuman effort and high losses, the empire is in desperate retreat battles and now and then barbaric and inhuman means are used to have any chance of victory. - It would be nice if the authors would come up with something new.
Luetin: “Stubfingers quickly bested the Imperium by fooling them into thinking captured ships were still under the Imperium’s control…” Well that’s unlike the Orks. Luetin: “…thereby using them as weapons, crashing the ships into defensive Mechanicus stations-to the glee and humor of the Orks, who thought the entire situation was hilarious.” Aaah, there we go.
A story told from the Tyranid perspective. That would be an interesting read. Closest I can think of was the lictor's infiltration of the Blood Angels' Arx Angelicum on Baal. While brief it was rather enjoyable.
I think the only way you can write a long form tyranid tale is through the eyes of a survivor or refugee. They are meant to be the most inhuman alien- more a sentient mysterious force of nature than individuals. The very act of writing from their perspective would either overly humanize their thoughts or read as too logic or animalistic to be enjoyable. Thus any story about them should read more like an HP lovecraft work of a survivor that faces the unknowable threat. A conspiracy thriller as a detective discovers a genestealer cult and pursues it thinking they are chaos worshipers only to uncover the extent of their influence and distinct worship. However at the end the fleet arrives and ravages the planet like an eldritch God. Either way the problem with tyranids is their thing is "look how absolutely inhuman we are" which prevents writing relatable villains(key in grimdsrk) or giving any compelling motivation on an individual scale
Luetin, I think I’ve maybe ever commented on 2 videos ever, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate an enjoy your videos. You singlehandedly got me interested in Warhammer40k which has rapidly become my all-time favorite universe. One ask though: can you delve into the Dune Universe?
I have been using Audible for a couple months now and the free credit is nice. My first month, I got Storm of Iron, about the Iron Warriors taking over Hydra Cordatis in order to secure a stock of geneseed. I actually did read the novel in the past and it was a good story but I had forgotten a lot of it so I used my credit on that. Been listening on the drive to work and back and got about 4 hrs left to go. As great as I remember it!
When will part 2 be released? I love your w40k vids and this war in the lore is one of my favourites! Just wondering if you're still planning in making part 2?

@@keeganwilliams8046 Also, the presence of Tyranids makes warp travel difficult, simply due to their psychic presence. If Imperium forces arrive for a strafing run, they may find it difficult to leave.
@@Bluecho4 With the Tyranids, once their fleets arrive, it's always the contested sky.
Bombers pilots: Commander, how do we return to ship after the bombing run?
Commander *laugh maniacally*
Ah perfect. Now I can stop relistening to all the lore videos in order....for the exact duration of this video
I feel like kryptman is flawed but also one of the only people in the imperium that understand how much of a threat the tyranids are
he was also a master of ork logik. they cant eat us if theres nothing left alive to eat.
@@conan2096 Not just that, it was also "they can't follow our planets like a trail of breadcrumbs to the heart of the Imperium, potentially leaving us two fronts to fight; 1 vs the biggest ork empire ever seen by mankind, and 1 vs the hive fleet". He was right, mankind would've gone extinct. They weren't prepared for either threat.
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy It was even simpler. If Imperium never had a chance, he hadn't worsened the situation anyway. If there's a chance - there's time needed to devise a plan.
Kryptman was a monster who killed more humans than most Chaos incursions. But the scariest thing is that he was correct in doing so. Without his intervention, the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan would have had free reign in that sector. Kryptman is peak 40k "Lesser of Two Evils."
I really love the concept of the ORKS, of all species, coming up with such an important invention which could upend the balance of power across the galaxy to the point that the Imperium takes an interest in it. It helps emphasize that the strength of the orks is not just their physical toughness and love of fighting, but their freewheeling creativity and reckless love of experimentation.
To be honest there is so much ork in octarius that their intelligence Gained a boost, in any other situation the ork tech would bê normal
Makes you wonder if they were even made for it....
“Inquisitor vs reality” well an enemy we can’t exterminatus I hope
not for lack of effort
6th God of Chaos: The Inquisition
Pfft. Not with that attitude.
Implying there is something the inquisition can't exterminate, that's an exterminatin'.
Have to say I love this channel, 30 books into the heresy due to finding out about it in here, Lutin should be on commission from GW.
Keep your filthy GW away from my loremaster!
But yes he is basically doing high-effort advertising for free.
same here i'm reading the horus heresy all the way through because of this channel
Emperor Protect GW ever nearing this channel...
@@StarboyXL9 not exactly for free.. While Not paid by commission, he gets to skim off of UA-cam's ad revenue because of fair use, and then there's the audible sponsorship
Ah yes, inquisitors vs reality, one of the all time great conflicts of the 40k universe.
Reality is *HERESY!*
Tzeentech,,, is clouding your mind ,, citizen... you are sentenced to attitiude modification ....... Guards!!! 15 shocks of 500 volts to his brain...
Luetin I like many others as you have mentioned watch your videos in bed as an almost sleep aid. Which seems weird but you have a great voice and the content is interesting. As an added benefit i get to rewatch many of the vids as sometimes I am asleep for half the vids. I suspect we are roughly the same age and from the same initial era of 40k 2 edition being my absolute bread and butter with a tiny bit of 3rd edition near the end of it when i re engaged with the hobby.
Would love a video on the life of a guardsman serving in a tank. maybe what each crewman goes through, the horrible conditions inside a leman russ , what they have to deal with, etc. reloading weapons, the roles they have keeping their tank going ( a little like the movie Sahara with the m3 lee tank.
This was a hilarious comment, and I enjoyed it lol actually might consider this concept :D
Oh, absolutely the same here. The way he edits his audio to be pretty level while letting the pacing do the emphasis (instead of loud/quiet segments with some youtubers) really lends itself well to half-sleep listening.
The fun thing is that I do the opposite... I listen to his videos while driving for long distances
I often watch videos like this (also on other lore and series etc) while multitasking work or chores, or when going to sleep, and I also end up rewatching a ton of videos due to either cutting it short or missing parts of it. Really enjoy his style of narration and I've fallen in love with 40k lore. I really enjoy the fact that the videos are longer and have more content in them than a lot of other youtubers videos... Long videos are probably a big no-no from the viewpoint of youtube statistics, but I really like watching one long video more than several short ones
Literally going to sleep listening to luetin right now lol
Whenever I see luetin uploads, everything else takes a back seat
The emperor has blessed up with his glorious orator, rejoice heretical masses, our salvation is upon us
SHIT YEAH GO EMPY!
I can't help but feel like the Imperium is burning itself in a bid to preserve itself
yes... that's the satire lmao. that's the joke
Trim a branch to save the tree.
Triage is a vital strategy when you're losing.
Sadly, that is pretty much where the Imperium is at the end of the 41st millennium.
@@shadow-monger5189 sadly??
@@bearsaroundhere It's either the Imperium or Chaos. Only the foolish or uneducated would think Chaos is a better option.
No one likes ads, but I have to say I love you're pushing audible. Though I am a printed page guy, anything that gets people reading is outstanding. Props to you, good sir.
Meanwhile, on Thanatos;
Two Necron Crypteks sit at the orrery as they watch the Octarius sector. Rhamak Who Watches raises a cup like object to where his mouth would be and goes through the motion of drinking as a dark liquid flows down his face and frame, Necrons long since losing the ability to ingest substances to begin with, doesn't stop the Cryptek from the sense of normalcy with the situation. His unblinking ocular focused on the sector as conflict ebbs and flows throughout the system but never beyond it. "So..." he speaks almost hesitantly as if he had already knew how this conversation would play out. "Are we going to turn the lights out on this one or not?"
Ramzah Who Waits doesn't move his gaze from the sector as if completely lost in his own ponderings replies sharply "Not yet. We do not have certainty yet."
Meanwhile Thanatos literally meaning "death"
An excellent way to spend my Friday night.
ALL HAIL THE LORE MASTER!
It is Saturday!
@@wayne1516 is it? Hell, I’m tired lol
It was Saturday pal. Now it's Sunday, you must have overslept.
I remember a GW staffer years ago fanficing this war while we were chatting the shit during a casual game.
The outcome is either Ork Hive fleet veterans that got so beefed up by the constant battle that they become an unstoppable force adapting many Tyranid units like genestealers and lictors traits to compete with those units. So they develop weapons made of nid parts and simply got really strong as to equal the best in Tyranid deadliness. As well as adopting various toxins into their weaponry and gaining immunities from these toxins due to the constant exposure.
Or you have a Hive fleet with Waaagh energy inside its hivemind. nuff said. Oh and Ork Genestealer cult.
I'm not sure Orks could be affected by a Genestealer cult so much.
They are a fungus after all, there's no easy way to get the next generation of the cult our and about.
...Right?
@@FlummoxedFish I mean its orks. they reproduce from the spores of the dead right? So wouldn't they just keep fighting each other to keep spreading spores? And each generation gains a stronger strain of the gene stealer gene.
It doesn't need to be via dimorphic reproduction.
@@ceresbane Pretty sure it's just that they put out spores but then a massive dump of them when they die.
Guess the question is whether a Genestealer could hijack the spore process or if the spores are such that the Genestealer would need to infect them individually.
If there's a race apart from the Necrons that would be immune it would be the Orks.
@@FlummoxedFish well the genestealers are meant to take over from a cellular/dna level so thats where my conjecture comes from.
@@ceresbane I get you there.
Not saying they couldn't do it, just that the argument could go either way.
I think it would be ridiculous that the Genestealers could hijack the spores, but the Genestealers are already pretty darn ridiculous.
Probably comes down to how much Genestealery goodness the lucky writer wants in the story.
LUETIN!! Man every time you post I hope your vocal cords are doing just a little bit better, I love your content and don't want to lose you to over exerting your chords ... You need to take a insurance policy out on your vocal chords haha
That does exist, but it comes with working hour restrictions and medical visits.
The loremaster delivers just on time.
That one Inquistor: We must use Vortex Warheads!
Inqustion: Literally N o o o
Devil's advocate here, Kryptman did nothing wrong, the orks were going to fun into a tyranid fleet at some point
didn't nids run into Orks before they did humans
Sad thing is... With Orks "fun into a Tyranid fleet" isn't a typo
And I do mean “Fun.” Lol
only Orks would see an hive fleet as a 'fun' prospect xD
@@bearsaroundhere no one is sure when the first nids showed up.
This is actually great timing because I just bought the Octarius starter set and have been painting and assembling it a bunch.
Damn, shift ends at 11 and Luetin09 posts a new video 9min prior? Why, thank you Milord
I love luetin’s content because it’s the best channel to learn lore from and when I have trouble sleeping(like now) he can tell me a grim dark bedtime story with his amazing voice
I would live to see a book about the sector with the perspective of the Eldar looking into the system. Seeing the Orks building large planets full of Orks, the technology, the massive Orks this creates, almost reminding the Eldar of the legend of the Krorks. Massive Hive fleet that is getting to large to be contained. Creating a huge hive of synaptic distortion at the center with waves of creatures consuming planets endlessly. Then the thin military for guarding the rim of the Imperium and them trying to lose the least amount of resources as possible in an never ending grind of flesh and boltshells. I think that would be cool if the Eldar has to try and help contain this mess.
Kryptman did nothing wrong. It was ironically the inquisition’s desire to be more humane than usual that allowed for this situation to spiral out of control. Knowing what we know about tyranids, letting them burn out and denying them biomass certainly is the optimal route. Throwing soldiers into their mouths is detrimental in the long run and honestly is probably going to have a higher body count in the long run.
How exactly do the Tyranids burn out?
@@NauticalCoffin2404 bait them to a planet rich in biomatter then exterminatus as the tyranids invade. They won’t be able to recover the losses. This was the key to kryptmans plan
Spoilers:
Octarius got devoured the Overfiend just got nommed, the Ork Empire is split between 6 Ork warlords. The Nids are going to be the eventual victors of the conflict.
Source: Octarius: Critical Mass
Just finished a night shift and this drops, been spamming refresh looking forward to next vid and rewatching old ones
One of my favorite fan fictions is that of a small system in the octarus sector containing a forge and hive world allying with the Orcs: Providing them scrap and weapons in exchange for fighting the tyranids, and the Orcs get really pissy if other Orcs try to fight their humies, sayin stuff like “only we gets ta bash dere heads in. They giving us good scrap ya grot. Why ruin a good waaagh over dem bein humies?”
What book is this you've peaked my interest.
Listening to stories of the grim dark future is somehow comforting.
Our own time and lives seem less bleak and depressing.
As big as an ask as this must be: is there any way you could mention the source material for your videos? I understand how impossible it would be to cite every source and quote, but you must have notes and maybe you could list a few top books/codexs in each video description?
Look to the deathwatch collection for the beginning of this disaster.
Hey LT, I just wanted to tell you I listen to the lore in order playlist while I’m at work everyday. When I finish the playlist I restart and go back to the beginning. Keep up the fantastic work, I’ve never played 40k but you have made me fall in love with its story.
Tyranid hive fleet moving towards Catechan: Yum!
Catechan: A little closer, a liiiitle bit closer....
You're going to find yourself one day. Awaking inside the Black Library of GW. Wearing scrib robes. While the Council of GW. Staring down at your awakening and orders you to organize the lore of all 40K.
Possibly the best narrator on UA-cam. While I enjoyed messing about with 40K games and always had an interest in getting into the models it was listening to your videos that got me into the 40K lore. Thank you for the continuing high calibre content.
I was very curious about the latest developments on the Octarius War but I haven't had the chance to delve into it yet. So, thanks. This was a nice surprise.
One additional thing, apparently the final Octarius supplement does say what happens at the end of the conflict. I don’t want to spoil it though.
Maybe this is the end of WH40K franchise too, there is no way unless a fleet of hundreds of human capital ships from The Age of Technology, similar to the unfinished ships that Adeptus Mechanicus has on MArs that can shoot Black Holes by some way travel to future and unlease volley of Black holes to other faction to save humanity.
Haven't seen the video. But I know that's gonna be perfect. Thanks you Luetin !!!
A story from the perspective of the Tyranids would be difficult but doable.
For example, and if I'm not mistaken, the norn queens do maintain a sort of psychic conference with one another in order to share data on biomorph and bioform development. It would be interesting if they "argued" over efficacy and had a ingrained biological need to compete with and try and out do the others brood adaptions.
A competitive work place environment certainly would be relatable despite Tyranids being completely alien in most other aspects.
Woah woah, Kryptman is still keeping tabs on the Octarius war?? Last I heard he was off investigating what Hive fleet Tiamat have set up on those planets they're holding
My guess: the crown will allow a powerful warboss to gain momentum and start putting the Tyranids on the backfoot. To both cripple his Waagh and re-establish the stalemate, a team of special Imperial forces will have to undertake a suicide mission to kill said warboss and destroy the crown for good. And thus, the only weapon truly capable of defeating the Tyranid menace will be lost forever. #Inevitable
Or a certain interested collector will come to claim his prize.....
@bacon Bliss imagine the Supreme clusterfuck of converging forces to take it
Went out and bought the hardbacks for the Dark Imperium trilogy some months ago, Leutin bringing me back to being a reading fellow once again, thank you sir. I've not gotten too far, but from what I've read it has been quite enjoyable so far!
You have jumped higher on my favorite UA-camrs list for that Futurama reference.
While I know you normally don't really like the T'au, there are dozens of us who do. Would you mind giving them a second chance and cover some of the new lore for them?
The farsight books both have interesting implications
@Greg Fisher eh yeah no, the tau are bloody useless in glorious melee plus they have a vagina built right into their heads which I guess slaaneshy deamons or followers would enjoy but me personally I'll take a pass and instead continue to shed blood and present skulls to almighty khorn.
Oh P.S. I enjoyed seeing the Death Guard pulverize an entire tau fleet with very little effort, it was entertaining and even khorne himself was laughing his ass off.
I like hearing about the tau, but they almost don't fit into Warhammer. Or they fit but going forward with what they've established so far seems difficult. Kinda feels like just an excuse to add japanese style mechs and stuff into Warhammer without too much thought into what it means to add a race of xeno that advance extremely quickly in a galaxy stuck technologically
@@thedarkcorrupter their darkness comes from their naivete and the loss of innocence. Stories involving them should be ones that confront their idea of a greater good. But everyone just decides they don't fit the setting and crap all over them.
I mean, out of all the 40k races only the Orks and nidds aren't grim dark themselves. They are forces that are used to enhance the darkness of the setting.
@@thedarkcorrupter Dunno man.The 4th sphere of expansion was quite dark to tau standards.I think the kroot are in open revolt as they are tired for being killed by 4th expasionist tau armies.
the most awesome thing to read from a new video from Luetin - part 1....
i already can't wait!
that quote crushed my hope...
That story about the orc crown that disrupts the tyranid communications is an amazing story because it's this terrible false hope
top marks to whoever wrote that
Me normally on youtube : ouff 12 minutes video length ? Ain´t nobody got time for that. Me watching luetin : what do you mean only 40 minutes ? No fair.
Dude your voice makes me so relaxed and it’s amazing how much effort and research you put into your videos. Nobody else does warhammer lore videos better in my opinion. The only downside is I’ve now watched all of your videos and need MORE!
i like the orc vs tyranid angle. it can too often feel like humans vs everyone else
Yes just in time for my road trip tomorrow morning!!!!
Excellent idea with Dark Imperium, Plague War and Godblight - I just finished Dark Imperium and going on to Plague War, (after a Ciaphas Cain book) and Ill definitely be done by the end of the year - looking forward to that and more Octarius stuff!
Good luck with your wedding coming up Luetin. Wishing you many happy returns and my the Emperor bless both you and your partner! ❤
Over the weekend I've been very close to jumping back into 40k via the new Kill Team box. Seeing this video pop up covering the lore of the kill team setting is definitely a sign that I should take the plunge. Thank you!
I have to say that it would be extremely interesting to read a story from the tyranid perspective. Imagine a story similar to the story of specimen 6 from Alien VS Predator, following some specific tyranid as he tears through orks & imperials alike!
I’ve been watching/listening to your videos for many months now and I can honestly say I’d rather listen to your explanations of the lore in my free time than do pretty much anything else! I don’t play or paint miniatures but you’re gradually encouraging me every day to take a deep breath and finally walk into the Warhammer store - which is literally next door to the shop where I work. Thank you for the clearly immeasurable effort and dedication you put into these incredible works. I would love to hear you reading more from the books, particularly those that are no longer in print. Cheers!
with the tyranids ever evolving, and the orks growing stronger the more they fight, could this scenario bring the Krork to the 41st millenium?
I think we need novels in Octarius
- Not now boss, Luetin just uploaded 30 min video.
- Understandable, have a nice lunchbreak.
"Inquisitors vs Reality" EXCUSE ME?!?! time to call the inquisition!
Truly enjoyable. I fall asleep to the videos, very helpful. I appreciate your time and work.
It's always the same story pattern: The empire is attacked hard and without warning, victories can only be achieved with superhuman effort and high losses, the empire is in desperate retreat battles and now and then barbaric and inhuman means are used to have any chance of victory. - It would be nice if the authors would come up with something new.
12:00 Dark ELDAR enter the frey. 12:20 BLOOD AXES ORKS!!!!! 20:40 Genestealer cults, Chaos cults, Orks AND TYRANIDS in one system God damn!!!!
You always drop a video when I'm having a particularly bad day...eventhough it's not by design, it's deeply appreciated. Thanks
Luetin: “Stubfingers quickly bested the Imperium by fooling them into thinking captured ships were still under the Imperium’s control…”
Well that’s unlike the Orks.
Luetin: “…thereby using them as weapons, crashing the ships into defensive Mechanicus stations-to the glee and humor of the Orks, who thought the entire situation was hilarious.”
Aaah, there we go.
A story told from the Tyranid perspective. That would be an interesting read. Closest I can think of was the lictor's infiltration of the Blood Angels' Arx Angelicum on Baal. While brief it was rather enjoyable.
I think the only way you can write a long form tyranid tale is through the eyes of a survivor or refugee. They are meant to be the most inhuman alien- more a sentient mysterious force of nature than individuals. The very act of writing from their perspective would either overly humanize their thoughts or read as too logic or animalistic to be enjoyable. Thus any story about them should read more like an HP lovecraft work of a survivor that faces the unknowable threat. A conspiracy thriller as a detective discovers a genestealer cult and pursues it thinking they are chaos worshipers only to uncover the extent of their influence and distinct worship. However at the end the fleet arrives and ravages the planet like an eldritch God.
Either way the problem with tyranids is their thing is "look how absolutely inhuman we are" which prevents writing relatable villains(key in grimdsrk) or giving any compelling motivation on an individual scale
Bring the flamer brother, THE HEAVY FLAMER!
Luetin, I think I’ve maybe ever commented on 2 videos ever, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate an enjoy your videos.
You singlehandedly got me interested in Warhammer40k which has rapidly become my all-time favorite universe.
One ask though: can you delve into the Dune Universe?
After a few years of listening to 40k lore nothing else really matches the level of depth, detail and deconstruction.
Keep making videos covering the Octarius Sector please, very interesting!
Just about to start a round trip drive - 20min each way - perfect timing 🙂
Luetin, thanks for another excellent piece of 40k narrative!
I have been using Audible for a couple months now and the free credit is nice. My first month, I got Storm of Iron, about the Iron Warriors taking over Hydra Cordatis in order to secure a stock of geneseed. I actually did read the novel in the past and it was a good story but I had forgotten a lot of it so I used my credit on that. Been listening on the drive to work and back and got about 4 hrs left to go. As great as I remember it!
This is slowly growing to be the greatest battle of all time
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any plan, both in real life and in fiction, that has ever backfired this spectacularly before.
Jesus, this was uploaded 4 days ago?! Thanks, algorythm. Turning on the notifications now lol
How to turn tides of the Octarius war? Well go Kryptman, again.
Another prefect video to paint my krieg so they can be ready for octarius. Because sending in more krieg is always the answer.
It is 4 in the morning and sleep ain’t coming, time to listen to your new video. Gonna sleep like a baby and watch what I missed tomorrow.
Great vid as always!
Guilliman and Cawl turn up: Haha Papa Smurf go brrrrr… Primaris everything, crisis over.
When will part 2 be released?
I love your w40k vids and this war in the lore is one of my favourites! Just wondering if you're still planning in making part 2?
I have been looking forward to more lore videos I’m so happy you choose this topic!
Cheers for that bit of lore squire. There are so many black library books coming out it's hard to keep up with every thing. Cheers for the effort.

Don't challenge the nids to eating competitions.
I love the orks especially the blood axe clan. their sense of humour is hilarious
ngl it’s a 50/50 if i fall asleep or listen to the whole video. winning either way
You know, I have always found the Orks to be giant trolls but the idea that Stub fingers is sitting on world watching ships crash into Imperium ships and hes just laughing his off is fantastic.
Octarius?
You know what this means!
*screeching intensifies*
Love the tyranids..."you don't see them fucking each other over for a God dam percentage " 😁
