    In the late 90s and early 2000s, everything Andy Chambers touched turned to gold. He slways found the perfect balance of the Rogue Trader weirdness and the grim-dark ridiculousness that is 40k, and the way he reshaped existing material always advanced the world and made it even more interesting and bigger. I will forever be greatful for Battlefleet Gothic.

    Something I love about long-living gaming settings and why the "X stole from Y" argument is moot, is that these settings were made by a bunch of nerds all riffing from each others' creative works and pop media. It still happens today because one of the biggest creative inspirations is making your own version of something you love, but it tends to be more subtle. Great video.

    "Their purpose served, the eyes died..."
    That's got to be one of the BEST lines in all of Warhammer. Just that one quote conveys so much dread, the ruthless efficiency of the tyranids, it plays into the theme of the 'nids reconstitution of biomass and perfectly conveys that the milky way is now nothing but a target on on the radar of an unknowably huge force, the tyranids KNOW where we are, and they're so sure of it that (both literally and metaphorically) using their eyes is a waste of fuel and energy. If that's not horrifying, then I don't know what is

    It may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think there is some other foreign threat. I think the tyranids like locusts or piranhas ate everything in the system they are coming from. In order to survive they either needed to eat eachother or themselves to survive or move on. So the nyds shot scouts out to watch for evidence of other galaxies and therein a new source of food and survival.

    Great video, despite my delusional hope for the return of the Malanthrope in some form being crushed; I wouldn't say exactly why, but even watching that screenshot in your video now, to this day it still feels like the "least-dynamic-yet-most-menacing" creature to me as it did all this time ago; it's such an amazing and inspired sculpt that embodied and "personified" so perfectly the way I sort of visualise the Tyranid threat. I instantly loved the creature and would be really curious to see a modern but more importantly non-resin version! Anyway, thank you for this episode!

It was a treat. Now they've made it all clean and crisp. Brilliant models but chaos were chaos just because of naff arrows. Now primaris carry bigger guns than themselves. I liked the old gothic stuff. The old metal legion of the damned? Brilliant stuff. Even the old rhino was mint.

    Very happy to see the Tyranids in the spotlight, and doubly so that Epic features prominently - it's different scale often resulted in new vehicles and units to meet the needs of the game and this is too commonly forgotten.
    However, 23 minutes of Tyranid lore and creatures and absolutely zero mention of the Grabber-Slasher? How is this even possible? How can such an iconic troop be overlooked? It would, at first glance, seem to fit the sombre and very serious tone of this channel generally.

    Fab little vid! While I get why genestealers were packaged in with Tyranids back in the day to make a somewhat functioning list, a part of me wishes that genestealers (and their little cultist fellows) had managed to endure as a separate xenos entity to the Tyranids.
    With the success of Horus Heresy, it would be cool to explore more of the Rangdan Xenosides. With their brief bits of lore describing them as a collective and controlling other races, I always thought that the Rangdan echoed gene stealers. Heck, it would be pretty cool if Gene stealers were the last remnants of the Rangdan! Could be a very serious reason why the Emperor ordered the II Legion destroyed, if its Primarch and half the legion got the Hybrid treatment!
    Alas, mere speculation...

    • @Ungantor

      The timeline is wrong for them to be actual Tyranids since it predates the pharos- But somebody related could be interesting. What if the "enslavers" were somehow related? What if some precursor to the tyranids was defeated in the time of the old ones, and what we are seeing now is merely a weapon run amok?
      As for the genestealer cults in specific, I really just miss how they played from 7th to 9th. The whole thing with radar blips really changed the way the entire game played, giving it strong Space Hulk vibes.

    Horrors of the hive mind, a short story from the early days of black library. Psyker ends up aboard a hive ship. Sees the nids cutting up and experimenting on people. He then manages to glimpse into the hive mind. Sees that they are driven not just by hunger but the desire to survive. To survive they must be able to adapt and so are collecting DNA from across the galaxy. So that they can adapt to whatever the universe throws at them. This is early BL (so only sort of canon even when released and shouldn't be taken seriously now)and written by Barrington J Bailey and that dude had some mad ideas. Has 1 novel to his name to "eye of terror" well worth a read.

    Nicely done and well broken down. Been looking at 40k alot more myself lately and where all they got their inspiration from. I never looked that close at the game until recently. When I look at the Eldar Striking Scorpions I see Predators. (Talking the SciFi ones in the movie not what people get in trouble for.)
    Necron as a whole screamed Terminator especially when they had their special rule "We'll Be Back" just none of them looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
    Imperial Guard's At-ST I mean Sentinel got a remodel after Star Wars if I remember right.
    The Eldar and how they warp around reminds me of Aura Battler Dunbine. (Don't watch it if you don't like Tragic Hero stories you won't get your life back)
    Speaking of Eldar the more modern look reminds me of Guyver.
    Tau weren't made until after the cartoon series Exo Squad was discontinued if I remember right.
    But then it's not uncommon with all the hidden inspirations. Look at Blood Bowl. It was released in 1986 but the first Fantasy Football game was released in Dragon Magazine by TSR in 1982.
    Even Star Wars was technically inspired by something else. George Lucas got his inspiration to make Star Wars from Buck Rogers.

    I stumbled upon your video by chance. Great content, I love it.
    I'd like to point out that maybe you should aim your camera a bit downward, framing your head a bit higher. The current camera angle is a bit awkward.

    Warriors and Gargoyles are too significant to remain without a model refresh for long, especially with how much bad I hear about the flight stands for the Gargoyles. A Kill Team including Warriors, winged or not, would be a great way to roll them out sooner rather than later. Tyranids lost their Compendium team in the new edition and never got a bespoke team, so they have to be due for one soon.

    My head cannon is they come from another galaxy that had its own warhammer scenario and ultimately to come out on top they had to make themselves into this all devouring monster. They left their galaxy a barren wasteland and themselves a nightmarish abomination through their survival at any cost philosophy.

    You know, at 11.06 you ask us to subscribe, it fades out, the sponsor link comes up, and it immediately went to two adverts. I was utterly certain that was the end of the video (and i didn't let the ads finish!).
    It is pure luck that I later noticed the incomplete red bar indicator in my history and am back here finishing it.

    I have same kind of issue with Tyranids as I do with the droid army from the SW prequel trilogy. Why build a tank that requires a number of droids to operate it, rather than build a tank that's a droid?
    I think that Tyranids would have fully evolved bio-weapons that are part of their bodies rather than develop /manufacture /grow ones they hold and manipulate. Some of them do, but not all of them. It annoys me more than it should do. Great content btw.
