I can't believe Australian wildlife has so much lore
Yea I know right, this is a great documentary, not sure how Australians survive this
Emerald Potato Australia is literally just Catachan... that should explain it, I should know I live here and purge these things every day!!!
Lol cant wait to visit. Should be a fun hunt.
No
This is just the spiders. We haven't even made it to the fire-starting birds of prey, yet.
So, what you're telling me is...these things effectively take an entire planetary population (along with themselves), throw it all into a blood/acid blender the size of the great lakes, and then drink it up like a goddamn SMOOTHIE?!! Being fairly new to 40k lore, here I was thinking that nothing could be more hellish than Chaos and the warp.
yeah that's basically it. Delicious.
yep.. Nids are way worse than Chaos ))
you can at least join chaos and live.
Nah, chaos is worse. It's just that it's an unimaginable evil. Its not something we can really understand, and even in 40k even glimpses of it drive people insane.
Hahaha!!!
I would say the difference is philosophical, is it better to be consumed entirely and have everything of value in you turned to another's purpose or to have your own purpose twisted until you are the most evil possible reflection of yourself? Co-option or corruption?
Imagine a well-funded 40k Animated show. Imagine, 2 or 3 season in, having an entire hour long episode devoted to nothing but a successful tyranid invasion. No happily every after, no heroes escaping, no anyone escaping.... just pure consumption of an entire planet. Everyone dies. All phases of the invasion shown. Perhaps spend a prior episode or two showing genestealers and lictors doing their sneaky deeds... then the end.
Gives me goosebumps to think about.
yes
I would love to watch that too. I imagine that specific episode starting out calm. Then like rain on a window the attack beginns, slow at first when the first thousands make planetfall through the AA and orbital cannons then the slaugher begins like a storm. despair and death everywhere. Until there is no more gunfire, no more explosions just the sound of the beasts devouring the bodies of the fallen. Goosebumps brother goosebumps.
That would be a dream come true!
Dude people would be numb, if not put into outright comatose states if their beliefs in the Emperor aren't strong enough.
Have you ever read the FanFiction of a splinter fleet ending up in the star wars universe? It’s a super fun read that is pretty much what you described

“The tyranids are creatures from our darkest nightmares. But remember this, they can bleed and die”-Inquisitor Kryptman
Technically they don't bleed since they have some kind of goo made of microscopic insects instead of blood. And they cannot die either since every tyranid is an extension of their hivemind.
Yeah, still a big nope from me
@@user-unos111 Yes Inquisitor, this post here.
@@user-unos111 Autismo supreme
111 111 Is that defeatism I hear?
My theory is that the Tyranids are all highly psychic in the same way as human psykers and Aeldari, but are simply so irrevocably
alien in nature that concepts such as temptation or desire are simply lost on them, thus Chaos cannot so much as communicate with them to attempt spiritual corruption, and that the Shadow in the Warp is simply the result of billions of psychic minds thinking in unison, thus drowning out the immaterial reflections of any single mind or entity in the vicinity like a cacophony of white noise against soft music.
Also the description of Tyranid feeder forms dissolving themselves to deposit their biomass being a display of how they see everything in their collective reminded me of how our own bodies work, with individual cells dying and being replaced on a minute-by-minute basis, with any cell that's no longer in use being broken down and recycled... imagery that I feel adds a deeper layer of horror to the Tyranids, because they're more digesting a planet than attacking it.
It’s like each Tyranid is a cell of a much larger creature.
The true horror is, how big of a creature are they?
Since the warp isn't inherently human, it makes you wonder what happens if the Tyranids grow too large. If they kill off all the "human like" minds in the galaxy, the warp will change to reflect that. New chaos gods will emerge that can speak the hive's language, corrupting drones with temptations that they understand. Betraying the hive for power or pleasure is off the table. But the new gods promise entire stars' worth of biomass. They promise the genetic code of superman and Cthulhu. They promise to protect the hive from some mysterious and catastrophic threat. The ultimate purpose of the drone is to serve the hive, so of course they should ignore orders to pursue bigger targets.

It's not even a "more" it's literally what they are doing, they are eating planets. It's quite simply not got the kind of "nutrition" in its bedrock to keep them going which is like much of 40k "because reasons" when considering the fact they can evidently absorb oceans and the atmosphere and take minerals which are a fucking huge amount of mass that, well it's not a terribly scientific lore I'd give it that. That's my main problem with it, GW and their writers is fucking horrible at scale, and I mean many scifi writers are but it's just appalling here where I'm supposed to believe literally 300 spesh muhreens fought off a whole planet of nids, in the same setting where literally trillions of humans can die on a populous world. It's just dumb. And I mean like not even space USSR under the emprah would do propaganda that retarded so I can barely write off the fluff as pro-imperial propaganda pieces sometimes. So you can't think too hard on it because then you're asking well why would they bother with the mineral extraction at all, why wouldn't they just absorb more of the bedrock, considering plants actually sort of "eat rock" in a sense I think it was meant as that type of mineral extraction but even then just carrying off the atmosphere of a planet alone would be like a tiny moon's worth of material, the actual biomass of a planet isn't even the powdered sugar on a donut, it's like a couple of donut sprinkles with the creamy inside being the ocean and the rest of the donut being the mineral. So at that point it wouldn't even be worth bothering to digest or target the biomass at all, we'd all just be getting eaten incidentally much the same as when I eat a yogurt I'm not actually eating the bacteria, they're simply living in what I'm eating. Or better yet, the bacteria and mold spores already growing on my day old donut. I'm not even cognizant that they're there.
So this actually becomes the rather curious question of why would they even do it, why would they do all that for targeting the biomass of a planet when what they are actually after is the mineral, ocean, and atmosphere.
And to that I guess you could add some Lutein-esque conjecture about how they originally were more of a placid lithovoric swarm who, for whatever trials and trevails coming from Elsewhere, had already encountered much active resistance to them digesting planets on this Elsewhere galaxy which basically force fueled them into evolving and adapting toward the various planetary defenders who saw them as an active invading alien force bent on destroying them, when in reality it's much the same as a real estate developer plowing over a bunch of rabbit burrows and underground vole nests. The backhoes aren't even aware that they are there, and the developer and contractors not only didn't give a shit they simply never even assumed to be hitting any life because all they saw was "a forested lot with some grass and shit we can plow over to make money." And so the small rodents are completely irrelevant and unnoticed right up to the point where they begin mounting an active resistance enough to stop the swarm from metabolizing that planet's atmosphere and oceans. Which would basically become that evolutionary path of them having to literally begin developing ALL their augmentations and energy toward dealing with that dusting of life forms entirely, in the same way my immune system has to be so entirely robust to me accidentally eating all kind of weird shit. It's just that whatever galaxy(ies) the nids originally hailed from already gave them such hell for eating planets that incidentally sometimes had life on it, it forcefully altered their peaceful basically rock eating ways into being extremely aggressive violent carnivores because that was also where all the most valuable planet harvesting information was at.
Of course had any species simply tried putting spores and tendrils down to start peacefully assimilating a planet in 40k every single faction possibly even including the necrons would immediately begin attacking and destroying it to the point it'd be even less of a footnote in Imperial history than near any of the intelligent species discovered in the great crusade, they'd have basically been a nonthreat.
It might also be that Chaos literally fears them entering their realm rather then being able to control them.
Ordo Xenos: "Exterminatus!"
Tyranids: "Hey, I was eating that!"
J Alex Wheeler That's basically the Tyranids. Lol. On Shadowmark, they invaded and destroyed Imperial forces until Chaos arrived. For a while, they left Chaos alone until they began to threaten their attainable biomass and thus unrelentingly beset Chaos into full retreat, later having detachments of Fleet Kronos come in and finish them off and close the Warp tear on the planet. Don't fuck with the Tyranids and their snacks.
Ben Siener Hive fleet Kronos. It's systematically going from world to world sealing up warp rifts, basically sewing up The Great rift.

@@Wysewolf kind of, yeah. If a large enough WAAAGH(Ork warband) gathers they will start to develop a warp presence that essentially moves with the WAAAGH, giving the Orks in that particular WAAAGH a type of subconcious psyker power.

The scariest thing about Tyranids is its possible they are all part of a single hive fleet/hive mind. In which case they are large enough to be attacking the galaxy from below, south, east and north east at the same time. Think about the scale of that thing! The numbers are almost literally endless. But that leaves a possibility they have come from one place. If they are diff hive fleets, its possible they have already devoured MULTIPLE GALAXIES and are on their way here now. How many hive fleets could be out there...what if the local or greater universe is FILLED with Tyranid infestation and the emperors light is like a beacon to moths calling them to the flame. What if...astronomers one day began noticing...distant galaxies winking out of existence...as the light they pushed towards us so long ago finally delivers us the truth of the horror of the universe...that there is no hope...that the hive mind has been devouring galaxies for millions of years...and the tendrils of the hive fleet we are seeing now...are barely the point of a single tooth of the slavering maw cleansing the universe that is the Tyranid Hive.
newtonianromance "Humanity will be absorbed, broken into strands of DNA to be used to create a new generation of bio-technology. It will be the death of the human race, but to the Tyranid hive mind this is of no more consequence than the mining of ores or the harvesting of crops. For the Tyranids have no sense of pity or compassion, they are as utterly beyond human understanding as humans are beyond their comprehension. To them man is just an inefficient and primitive lifeform, something to be consumed and turned to a higher purpose. Such has been the fate of a thousand galaxies, of millions of intelligent species, since time immemorial."
1000 galaxies worth of space bugs. There is also this: “A long, awkward silence followed these words, until Drang spoke again, in a different, graver tone that shocked them all. ‘In any case, the tyranids might settle it all in the end.’ ‘And what do you mean by that, brother commander? The tyranids are awesome, but we have dealt with them before.’ ‘Yes, we defeated Hive Fleet Behemoth,’ Drang granted soberly. ‘But with difficulty. And then came Hive Fleet Kraken. Have you considered this, commander? Each tyranid hive fleet consists of millions of vessels. What if Behemoth and Kraken were but the first members of a swarm of such fleets, itself numbering millions, which even now is advancing on our galaxy? Nature’s profligacy reaches its most monstrous proportions in the tyranid. Nothing the Imperium can do could stop such a horde. It would leave behind it a dead galaxy, every trace of life extinguished. Even the Chaos realm would be gone. The tyranid hive mind has no soul, no spiritual counterpart. When a tyranid fleet moves through the warp, it is like a wall erasing everything in its path. A tyranid super-fleet such as I have described would be enough to extinguish the accursed Chaos gods and all their subjects.’ ‘You paint a grim picture, my lord,’ Invisticone murmured. He recalled that the Ultramarines Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes had captured a Behemoth tyranid ship intact, and study of it had revealed much. It was clear that the tyranid were not of this galaxy. They came from afar, and for all anyone knew had been migrating through space forever. Leaving a great trail of lifeless galaxies behind them, perhaps? And who was to say that there was only one super-fleet such as Drang had so graphically imagined? Conceivably there was a stupendous number of those in turn. The tyranid might be the universe’s ultimate life-form, depending on infinity itself to sustain its eternal existence. As each dead galaxy was left behind it would, in a few billion years, recover, evolve life all over again, ready to be harvested by some other tyranid super-fleet. The tyranid themselves might be infinite in number for all anyone knew. In the face of such a vision the whole of mankind, even the Emperor Himself, seemed helpless and insignificant - a treasonous thought indeed!”
Pg.35 Eye of Terror
These tyranid super fleets would have 1-10 tredecillion ships (enough to bring 500 septillion vessels in every solar system in the milky way) and would outmass our entire local group of galaxies thousands of times over. Heck this thing has more ships than the galaxy likely has bacteria.
newtonianromance They are all part of one Hive Mind. Hive Fleet Leviathan left multiple worlds predigested for another Hive Fleet to consume so it could grow bigger faster. Simply because the Hive Mind made that Hive Fleet to counter and Hunt Chaos. The Cicatrix Maledictum pissed off the Hive Mind. The Hive Mind isn't just pure instinct. It's intelligent. It's ancient. It's more powerful than any of the puny gods in this Galaxy.
And this is what freaks me the fuck out at night....
Maybe this is why the Emperor cried tears of blood? Maybe he has seen the scope of the Tyranids when the Tyranids first came in contact with the Beacon the Emperor is connected to. Maybe at that moment the Emperor realized that chaos isn't the biggest threat? Maybe he realized that defeating Chaos, rebuilding the Imperium and cleansing the universe of all Xenos life is just pointless as there is just no stopping the Tyranids? #markingmyselfforhereticalthoughts
newtonianromance it will be A'ight. Because Mortarion is getting tired of Nurgles shit and is going to go find his captive goddess and have himself healed then take her home to the emperor. Raise him to ultimate glory and then He will set things right.
This is why I consider various elements from the Starcraft series to not be a rip off of Wahammer 40K but a nerfed sanitized baby formula version of Warhammer 40K. And I like Starcraft.
If you try really hard, you can connect many very different stories into one template. Following a template really cannot be considered a ripoff. Take Halo and Gears of War for example. Humanity has beefy soldiers fighting alien (not necessarily extra-terrestrial) forces and suddenly an even more alien enemy appears.
Both of these can be also compared to WH40K and Starcraft, the similarities are simply there. The alien/parasite twist has also been done in Hostile Waters for example. Originality is overrated and pretty much non-existent. If you take a large enough sample of creative minds, you'll find that many are making similar stories independently of one another.
@@CanIHasThisName Yeah but Starcraft was pretty blatant in its copying. Just look at the Dropship and its pilot; it literally looks and sounds like the chick from Aliens, right down to the aviator glasses LOL.
This time, Starcraft was first. The Zerg was an original Blizzard creation. I still am a huge Starcraft fan, even after jumping head first into WH40K
@@raulbuta5125 the only thing original about the zerg is the name. The funnt thing is blizzard not only blatantly copied a games workshop ip once, but twice with warcraft, being based on warhammer fantasy.
Rumor has it that sc originally was going to be a warhammer game but it fell trough, gw didnt like the story. But since blizz already started development they went ahead anyway.
hongo dongo So Kerrigan was supposed to be a genestealer matriarch? 😆
Stuff like this is why people can root for the Imperium
Honestly... even the Chaos seems not that bad...
Um .... INQUISITOR!!!! THIS GUY!!!
I'm a big chaos guy and I like to think we're really tough and scary, but Tyranids are another kind of horror altogether. There's something frighteningly alien about a unfathomably intelligent hive mind and it's great cosmic horror.
Even Chaos god don't want to deal with them, lmao
Or root for Orks and Tyranids (an alliance between the two would mean the end of the universe)
1.) Capture a Genestealer Patriarch and implant into it cybernetics to control it.
2.) Put the Patriarch on a fast ship and get it to send out a strong signal to attract the Tyranid Hive Fleet.
3.) Use the fast ship to lure the Hive Fleet along a safe passage through Imperium space away from any imperial worlds.
4.) Plunge the fast ship with the Patriarch on board into the Eye Of Terror and watch the Tyranid Hive Fleet follow it in.
5.) Use the Imperial Fleet to mop up what left of whoever wins.
They did something similiar already to send a Hive Fleet into an Orcempire.Sounds fun really:)Must be the closest Thing to Orcparadise outside the Eye of Terror.
It would end just as planned, you know?
What Could Go Wrong? *tm*
@@ColeBlueford a new demonic tyranid fleet ? the chaos goods might even approve........
flashkraft wouldn’t the hive mind be able to detect that something was controlling the patriarch other than itself and destroy it? chronoss chiron I don’t think nids have a soul to corrupt
The reabsorbing of troops into biomass makes perfect sense... you won’t need additional troop ships and resources to keep them going and when the time comes you can make new better troops.... not horrible, very practical.
Lol yea not horrible
One of the scariest things about the Tyranids is that the swarm is as smart as it's smartest unit.
Naw what's scarier is there is a rumor that they are RUNNING from something...

@@timfrank7461 maybe just hunger would not be crazy to think in the end the tyranids are like the flood on halo desing to kill everything at the end they will die too when all biomass is gone
Systems Alliance: OH NO WE LOST A COLONY AND ALL ITS INHABITANTS!
UNSC: Poor baby. We call that a Tuesday.
Imperium of Man: What are you both so upset about? I fail to see any problem.
One can only imagine what would happen if a large enough Imperial Battlefleet/Crusader Force complete with a titan conveyor and a good several companies of Space Marines (lets say...Imperial Fists for the Phalanx and Flesh Tearers because reasons) somehow went through a dimensional shift and wound up in Halo's universe right around the first stage of the Battle of Reach and they found out what the Covenant did to that universe's humanity. Worst case of UNO reverse card scenario ever for the Covenant
@@MachineMindDesigns Mega oof for the covenant if that happened
@@MachineMindDesigns yeah but imagine what they would do to mankind afterwards tho
imperium of man: the bug collective are absorbing heretics... so are becoming part heretics themselves? ... the emporor will not be pleased to hear this.
@@AProtokid If the UNSC were lucky, Rogal Dorn wouldn't really care much (though Admiral Hood would get annoyed by Dorn's "Has Stick Up His Ass" nature). Hell, barring the Black Templars and Hellbretch's...err....views, much of the Imperial Fists' successor chapters are fairly patient so long as you follow basic respect. Not sure about Flesh Tearers, but I'm certain a bunch of high as balls Blood Angels that dream of their primarch's command for Borgers would mostly just avoid interactions. I'd be more worried about The Mechanicum and their interests/thoughts on the Spartan Program....and the Halo Rings......and the UNSC's widespread use of A.I.s
Tyranids: The biggest nope in the universe
that or chaos
Git Gud ill take chaos over tyranids any day
I take Tyranids over being taken alive by Word Bearers or anything Slaanesh.
JohnnyNismo to be fair the demon part of what you said only happens if slenneshi demons get you
Chaos is worse than Nids in terms of torture.
Some of their methods involve thousands of years (sometimes longer) of torture directed at both your body and soul.
Nids are way to pragmatic for that, you will be dead pretty soon. Maybe in a gruesome way but at least it ends..
You, a human: necrons

Bones are biomass too!
Adapt, Overcome, Consume
Hold your soul tight because tyranids will devour you whole from flesh to bones
@@chains2660 I, a Tyranid, can confirm this.
We actively avoid the meatless ones because they provide us with nothing, and we would only loose biomass if we were to combat them.

the artwork in 40k is truly amazing. i can watch Luetin 40k lore vids all day. i've already watched this one 3 times just to take everything in.
The scariest thing about the Tyranids is that no two hive fleets have arrived from the same direction. The Milky Way may be surrounded by Tyranid infested galaxies. It's possible that the entire observable universe has already been eviscerated and sterilized by the Tyranids, and the Milky Way is the only inhabited galaxy left, the light of the Astronomicon drawing them for the feast.
nah, they're coming from underneath the galaxy

is the soldier really holding a gun to his head at 9:30 ? the fact that he would rather die than to face the tyranids really tells you about how terrifying they are
You would think he'd take his helmet off
He's one armour save away from being deeply embarrassed
coward
That’s why we have Commissars.
You do that when facing Drukhari, against Tyranids nope. Yes they're scary, but at least you juat die and not be captured and turned into furniture
just tells how rotten the minds that created this phantasy are
Tyrannids will forever be the best version of any alien science fiction that I've come across. Ever since I got a carnifex model when I was younger and a lore book I was obsessed with them. This video does such a good job of giving an overview of why they are so cool to me.
"...even the planet's atmosphere is consumed by the hive ship before the final capillary towers are reabsorbed..." - man that sent chills down my spine
I'm not super into the actual gaming, but the 40k universe holds a deep fascination that I cant really explain. Great vids Luetin!
Luetin, I want to thank you for all the effort you put into your lore videos. While I had heard about the 40K universe before (and had even played the original Space Hulk game in the 90s) your videos were the perfect introduction to the lore & backstory of 40k. If I ever need to give someone a crash course on what 40K is I'll be pointing them to your videos. Cheers! :D
It brings me a special kind of joy to see someone repping metal arms in the comments section
I normally leave your Warhammer lore videos on autoplay while I sleep and can I just say that waking up to a Tyranid SCREAMING in your room gives you a full on heart attack.

My favorite Tyranid story was the tale of Shadowbrink. The time a Tyranid Swarm showed Chaos Undivided (almost) who's the deadliest creatures in the material realm.
I honestly believe these fuckers are the dominant race in 40k! They are the borg....only bio-forms instead of metal...and instead of warriors...alien xenos horrors only the mind could create as its most horrific thing it could ever imagine!
5:14, just wanna make a quick correction. The Tyranids were actually drawn to the galaxy by the destruction of the Pharos on Sotha, which sent out a psychic signal so powerful that they felt it in another galaxy, as detailed at the end of the Horus Heresy book Pharos.
What iz the pharos on sotha? Source btw?
Darklarik “What Guilliman found on Sotha was a pre-Imperial device that acted similarly to the Astronomican. This device was known as the Pharos. Instead of a psychic lighthouse like the Astronomican, the Pharos shone like a lantern and illuminated targeted worlds in the Warp, allowing safe passage to them even through thick warp storms. Guilliman ordered that the Pharos be shone on Macragge so that lost loyalists fleets could find their way to him though the Ruinstorm.” - this information is from the 1d4chan lore article on the Imperium Secundus, while the actual story in which the Pharos is used and the Tyranids are alerted to the Imperium occurs in a novel called Pharos.
Still the best goddamn 40k lore content on youtube. Just keeps getting better and better.

Actually,,they werent attracted to our galaxy by the light of the Emperor..they were attracted by the Pharos which was activated during the Horus Heresy,,as detailed in the book Pharos.

Well, Warhammer 40000 wiki states the Tyranids are attracted to the Astronomican and are always drawn towards Terra. Then again, nothing is a definitive canon in Warhammer 40000. It is, in fact, a collection of myths and legends. You may choose whatever you like and disregard anything you don't.
Tkhaikovski no it was the Pharos that let them notice our galaxy, when they got inside the galaxy they saw astronomicon and rest is history..

I think a plausable reason for the Tyranid psykers not attracting the attention of chaos is that the Tyranids have no real emotional state when under the effect of the synapse, and they are protected by the shadow in the warp (allowing them to access the warp, but to suppress the effect of chaos on the psykers).
I wonder if the hive mind protects them. You can’t possess or corrupt an individual drone, you have to corrupt the entire collective. It sounds like the hive mind is potentially much bigger than any chaos gods or other warp entities.
I’m only 3 mins in and the quality of the video is amazing! The effects, the pictures and the music are all amazingly done and are far more superior than other Warhammer lore videos. The way you create these videos, makes them so much more entertaining to watch. I hope you will continue on making these.
I remember hearing about a beacon in one of the horus heresy books, I think, that was accidentally activated and sended an unknown kind of signal out of the galaxy. There's a theory that it "called" the tyranids to the milky way and that they where created by the old ones as a weapon. And it basically took them 10000 years to arrive.
Did some research and found it, the Pharos device: In the ensuing Battle of Sotha, Dantioch overloaded the Device to defeat the traitors and its engines fell silent for the first time. Unknown to all involved, this act served to alert the Tyranids to our Galaxy.
As far as I know, it is only a fan theory that they were created by the Old Ones to scrub Milky Way Galaxy of all life so that they can begin anew. I like this theory though.
I not sure, but I think it's stated that the device was in fact made by or at least had something tp do with the old ones.
They're a bit late to the party. If the Old Ones created them as another one of their weapons, assuming they were made during the ol' C'tan vs Old Ones war, then they are a bit late to the party.
Please take note that I'm only getting the information from Lore videos, and so I do not know much. Also take note that I was trying to make a joke, that I, myself, have probably ruined.
You are Correct, that Happens During the Horus heresy sadly but the Space Marines blowing up the Beacon on the Planet ,I can't remember the name.

Christopher Raymond Yep, especially archwarhammer.
luke Pattinson doesnt help the fact they let their blatant sexism leak through on occasion lol
From my experience the other lore channels simply read out 40k wiki articles, almost word for word. This is the first video I've watched from this channel, and I can already tell the creator puts a put more effort into their research.

Best lore video on the Tyranids by far. Most other lore channels seem to lack the focus, or at least well thought out script for the subject matter. Thanks for making this video. The Tyranids have been one of my favorite factions since I had discovered 40k, and now you've given me more insight into the terrible Great Devourer.
You know I kind a imagine the hive mind playing a castle defence game on a galaxy scale except that it itself is the mobs trying to break through. Eating organisms are just unlocks and evolution points it can use to conquer it's enemies and win each level. Would be a fun game idead
Like plaugd inc.

@@ericjohnson7234 only better
If you let them smell your hand, they're much less aggressive.
Question: Do the Tyranids feed both Nurgle and Korn with their constant struggle and death? Or do they only feed off of Humanity?
If the Hive Fleets become a True threat to Humanity. Wouldn't the Chaos gods take notice and move to counter a threat to their favorite food?
Could Nurgle take control of a Tyranid Hive Fleet? What would a Pustulent Nurgle Ship do inside the hive?
To your first and second question yes. To the third I don't think so?
tyrannids dont have "minds", and no "soul"
so the chaos cant corrupt them, and they dont feed him
theyre not seeking for death, violence or anything, just survive by eating endlessly, so they dont even feed chaos.
and yes, chaos hete that, and try to counter them. as well as almost every race when tyrannids get involved. thats probably the only menace in the galaxy that can bring almost every race and faction together against them when they show off.
Necrons are the best counter to Tyranids
What do you mean? Necrons are not organic and rez and use strategy… basically the antithesis of Tyranids.
how so?
Shipmate the tyranids can still destroy them remember a gene stealer can rip apart a space marine in terminator armor
If there are any enemies that could be said to be 'hated' by the Tyranid, they would be the Necrons and any Warp Entities.
Warp Entities come first because there is literally nothing for the Hive to consume. Nothing. Not only that, if those Warp Entities end up somehow dragging some of the Tyranid fleet into the Warp there is no escape for them and the loss to the Hive Fleet would be absolute; there is no way for them to reclaim what is lost to the Warp. Against Warp Entities, the very best that the Hive Fleet can hope for is to break even... and maybe learn a new trick or two.
Against Necrons, the Hive Fleet again has no bio-mass to consume but they do have the opportunity to consume the mineral wealth of the Necrons themselves. While Necrons can resurrect, I doubt very much they would do so if the entire unit was shattered and then fed to the Digestion Pools (not to say that would be an easy feat). The Necrons have an indominable will, care very little about their losses, and are willing to soldier on, clankity-clank. The Hive Fleet cares *nothing* for its losses except in binary terms: "Is this conflict going to net the Hive Fleet more material? Yes or No." It would be a tough fight, to be sure, for both sides.
On a side note, probably the worst enemy for anybody else to face would be Tyranids that have been fighting Orks for a prolonged period. The Orks would positively love it, because it's a fight worth having, a great old time, bring the whole mob, more dakka, more choppin', more fightin'. The Orks replenish their numbers swiftly as well. The Tyranids, as we know, replenish their own numbers very quickly also. Regardless of who won that (likely extremely long) war, who ever was left as the victor, Ork or Tyranid, would be a monstrous force to reckon with.
Think of it... An ENTIRE Ork WAAAGH where even the smallest, wimpiest, shrimpiest Boy is the size of the biggest Nob found elsewhere (Orks get stronger and bigger the more they fight). A WAAAGH larger than even what was thrown at Armageddon. Innumerable clans, each Boy big enough to pop the head of a Primaris Marine (in his helmet!) with the squeeze of one hand, and really, really spoiling for another fight as good as the one that made them as strong as they had become.
Think of the Hive Fleet that got to om-nom-nom on a nearly endless supply of bio-mass from those same Orks, the size of such a thing, and the new tricks they would learn concerning truly massive battles. A Hive Fleet large enough to literally block out the stars and send out an ever growing cascade of world consuming tendrils, each bigger than the last.
Neither would be good for anybody to try and tangle with. The Ordos Xenos would be hammering the Exterminatus Button until it went Out of Order.
NicolBolas2 actually for very much longer and nothing will change that
I was looking through the various 40K armies, and honestly, none of them enthused me too much. Yeah, the Daemons were cool, and the Death Guard were cool, but none of them really stood out to me. Then I saw the Tyranids, and I knew what I wanted to play. Psychic, hive mind, biotech, mutating, mantis-clawed xenomorphs? Yes please!

Photino birds: Hold my mastery of dark matter
Can't wait to hear you do a dive on Genestealer cults. They've always been my favorite element of the Tyranids (who are already a cool faction). Might I recommend Cult of the Spiral Dawn for a great case study of how they operate. Of course you could always examine the chilling implications of the first known encounter with the Ghosar Quintus incident and the damning discoveries of Inquisitor Chaegryn and the subsequent Death Watch Kill Teams investigating the world.
Hope you get a chance to cover this faction and this insidious facet of the Tyranids threat that worms its way into the fabric of Imperial (and xenos) society.
Cant wait untill Space Marine 2 comes out, imagine world war Z the game but instead of zombies, Tyranids mmm slaughter
Ya know, I watch a lot of Lore videos and there are some folks who do a good job and some folks who do a not-so-good job.
For pure, raw Lore, with that dark and brooding (genre appropriate) feeling you sir are spot on. That's why I subscribed.
From what I have gathered, there are a select few scenarios in which this Tyranid threat could be contained. If the Eldar reach even a shadow of their former glory and unite with the forces of man to absolutely crush them with overwhelming firepower. The empire of man could recover ancient tech from the golden age and use it to bolster ranks across the guard and astartes forces, or the emperor is revived and just unleashes devastating fury on the hive mind itself. Tyranids are similar to the orks in regards to a planet being doomed as soon as infestation begins. Attacking the hive mind I think is the best way to fight them.
The only way to fight Tyranids would be to achieve Omnipotence I think. Perhaps use time travel to determine what they were and where they came from originally, then pull out the weed before it takes root.
@@StarboyXL9 I would prefer to fire a cyclonic missile to bust their ships in space. If they don't have a queen they have no coordination.
@@danny5018 True. But understand that they would detect that missile coming and although wouldn't be able to stop it, they would be able to send another signal to the hive to do another "FTL" with another queen to fix the issue eventually.
@@flaremag1975 You do realise that you wouldn't just fire it alone, there would be other ships that would protect the carrier ship in order to get close enough to launch a success attack.
@@danny5018 I'm assuming so, but because the ships are protecting it, the hive would tell the queen to send some pods directly into the carrier ships hulls and ignore the smaller ships if it's a matter of time because it's clearly obvious that something funny is going on. It all depends, but I'm going to say that most of the time, the Nids would be seeing that coming from a mile away and wouldn't even let the ships get into the sky.
"An appalling parody of form".
This dudes way with words is amazing.
Would the Nid's biggest weakness be to use overwhelming mechanical forces against them? Like the Necrons with their Gauss weapons?
I believe there's a thing in the lore that suggest that the Necrons are the best to fight against the Tyranids since they have no biomass. The problem is, that the Necrons do not have the numbers or resources to defeat the Tyranids.
@@Aleph3575 Bit late to the party, but IIRC Tyranids will actively avoid Necron tombworlds for that exact reason, there is no benefit to taking it.

I like the fan theory that the Tyranids are escaping from a bigger threat and they just happen to find the Imperium while escaping.
No evidence to support this. they were sleeping before coming here, not running.
I can’t tell which is worse. Are they escaping from an even bigger threat, or are these massive world ending invasions just the scouting parties of an unimaginably massive force?
They are really scaping but most probably is starvation just thing when they consume a galaxy what is left barren planets no biomass they consume everything without wprring that all resurcea are wasted
I think you might be confusing them with the prethorian scourge from Stellaris. You can find out that's essentially exactly what the scourge is if you can communicate with them.

"Hey, what if we put the xenomorph in our game, but made it way more scarier?"
You should see the early models for the tyranids 🤣
How I see it is you took Xenomorphs and then fused them with the Flood from Halo. Boom, unstoppable, constantly evolving plague monsters that give even Chaos nightmares(seriously, they've on multiple occasions either outright destroyed or forced forces of Chaos into full retreat, establishing a specialized long range combat fleet, Kronos, for the explicit purpose of eradicating Chaos). Way too many people downplay the Tyranids, and it's a bit sad.
Xenomorphs meet the aliens from Starship Troopers
As L Faraone said in another reply: "the xenomorph and the flood from Halo" but I'd also like to add the zerg to the mix as some elements are identical and the aesthetics are similar.

aaaaw yeah here we go, another 40k video.
thanks for consistently uploading these, I'm enjoying them quite a bit.
Its so cool finally learning about the grandad of the Zerg and Flood.
"They use a biological process to transform a planet's atmosphere into solid matter."
Around here, we call it photosynthesis. hydrogen from water and carbon from the CO2 in the atmosphere are combined to form the carbohydrates that make up plants. A well-dried piece of wood is comprised largely of carbon that used to be in the atmosphere.
So the tactic to fight them is:
-don’t let them reach your world
-hit them hard and fast
-don’t let the pillars connect to the ship
-maybe exploit their lack of tact, give an easy target to extract biomass and disconnect all biomass from the ship
-fire.
Is that you, Inquisitor Kryptmann?
And then deal with the Hive Mind throwing out the Swarm Prince and masterfully destroy any single plan you craft with his billions of years of experience in planet destruction.

I think the most terrifying thing about Tyranids is simply the fact that they're intergalactic in origin.
The entire Warhammer 40k world is located in the Milky Way galaxy, so assuming that other galaxies are as filled with life as ours is, it implies that the Tyranids completely over ran and consumed their home galaxy and have now moved on through the great galactic voids to find other prey. Even more terrifying is to think that the Milky Way might not be the first galaxy they've attacked. There could be a thousand dead galaxies left behind by the hive fleets, and ours might be one more in a long line of conquests.

We really need scenes and events of non-chaos humans fighting each other as it is starting to get a tad stale of the main focus of most 40k works being focused on imperium forces vs others. I know there are examples but we still need more.
