I think, canonically, there are approximately 32000 hive worlds out of roughly one million Imperial worlds (ref. 5th edition rulebook datafile of the hive world Minea). Seeing as Necromunda alone has over a 1000 hives, there are probably millions of individual hives.
These worlds are nests of depravity and sin that need careful shepherding by the ecclesiarchy to prevent them falling or failing that the attention of the Emperor's most holy inquisition.
Orks and Tyranids should have no trouble attacking a hive world as well. Both xenos can evolve or are tough enough to withstand the toxic or irradiated wasteland and have been known to infest the lower levels of the hive. Orks would send rocks to smash into the hive while Tyranid will GENESTEALER their way in.
Thomas Spettel agreed, but let's face it if nids are invading your world is dead, either they eat it or you get exterminatus. Only if a few chapters and a massive chunk of e segmentum battlefleet turn up do you stand a chance against the smaller splinter fleets. Orks are tough enough but most waaaaghs are a lot smaller than that on armeggdon so hive defenders stand a chance, it's going to be more a classic siege and orks love that kind of close up tunnel fighting they are more like to try taking a place with sluggas and choppers than spoil the fun grassing the place :D
Yeah the genestealer cults would be a problem and would attack the defenders in the event of an invasion for sure, most of the time they are the ones who draw the hivefleets to the world, acting as a beacon to the hivemind. You know, telling me there is good eating here or somthing like that :D
Great Video. I love to hear about the society, economics, politics and everyday life of Imperial Citizens in the 40k Lore. We need more videos like this 👍.
