Welcome, dear friends, to another sleep club sermon. Relax, pull the covers close, and enjoy the respite our beloved Scholar brings, as we learn of Tyranids in this fine sermon. Know that as you drift ever closer to the dreamscape, that the Emperor's Light shall not only guide you there, but keep you safe and secure from the atrocities of chaos, and the warp. Sleep well, friends 😌
It is our honour to be in the presence of perhaps the greatest loremaster in the Imperium! Praise be the God Emperor of Mankind for blessing us with another holy sermon!
@@Scholarsloresuch modesty reflects your tireless work in the service of the Imperium and the God Emperor, you are a beacon that we sinners may see a part of his glory! Praise be!

@@pacman3102000 There's a story of a warboss that enjoyed fighting demons so much he flew his army right into the eye of terror.

I think they've been fighting each other in other Galaxies. Evolving against themselves, live some self-sharpening Bio-form blades. And we are fighting the winners of this evolving race. They may have been doing this for 2 to 3 billion years, feeding and learning from each other over n over, till all of a sudden saw a signal from another Galaxy. That signal drew the lot of them.

I have just realised something utterly important, and mind changing abouth nids.... They are not controled by hive mind, but reather by high mind.... Cuz that would explain the endless munchies....
@@Scholarslore i mean, have u ever met a pothead, on a mission to get cookies? U wont stop him, and there is no way to talk him out of it.... Sounds quite familiar
@@Scholarslore Behemoth is a good looking hive fleet, I did up about 10 behemoth flavored Tyranid hunters for my deathwatch before I started on my Hydra army. But decided on Hydra because I wanted them to match the space hulk genestealers I had already painted up.
I am a Tyranid player using Hydra's color scheme. My head cannon is that they seed space hulks with specialized plant life and biomorphs with the intent of hurling them at dead, but volcanic worlds... effectively farming biomass by melting these otherwise useless hulks into a teeming biosphere from the relative safety of abandoned space. They are so prolific with gaunts as a mean to better spread the seeds from this biosphere until the whole world is left but a cold, truly dead world with no hint of volcanic activity left... no plant life able to grow. The secret behind their vast reserves of biomass being a result of their ability to turn into biomass what would have been otherwise abandoned by other fleets.
@@Scholarslore Relevant excerpt from the 8th Edition Codex: Tyranids: A NIGHTMARE UNEARTHED Far out on the northern edge of the galaxy lies the Tiamet System. This unremarkable region is home to one of the Hive Mind’s most disturbing secrets, the truth of which is only now beginning to emerge… Named after the system in which it was first encountered, Hive Fleet Tiamet is a unique phenomenon: a Tyranid incursion fleet which has claimed a cluster of planets without entirely stripping them of biomass, and continues to guard its conquered territory with single-minded ferocity. Built to protect as much as devour, Tiamet’s hosts fight in dense clutches, grinding their way forward through hails of enemy fire, their diamond-hard exoskeletons forming a formidable living shield. First discovered by an ill-fated Imperial exploration fleet in early M35, the Tiamet System went largely undisturbed for the next few thousand years. It was only when a small force of Aeldari Rangers from Craftworld Iyanden happened upon the isolated system that a troubling secret was discovered. Upon nearing the largest planet in the sector - the jungle world of Ziaphoria - the Rangers discovered a continent-spanning organic construct, a conical super-structure formed of chitin and soft, encephalic flesh that thrummed with immense psychic energy. The Shadow in the Warp was horrifically strong here, and several Aeldari went into convulsions upon nearing the super-structure, their minds sent into shock by the sheer force of Hive Fleet Tiamet’s nullifying aura. What purpose this bizarre device serves is yet unknown, but for the Hive Mind to devote an entire fleet to its protection is a worrying portent. Ordo Xenos Inquisitors have theorised it may be a powerful beacon, guiding yet more Tyranid hive fleets into the galaxy. In recent years, sightings of questing Tiamet tendrils have become worryingly common, as the hive fleet seeks fresh yields of biomass with which to finish its creation. These hosts have proven extremely difficult to kill, shrugging off volumes of fire that should have seen them utterly obliterated.
As I understood it, the hive fleets are all connected together by one hive mind. Yet the way it’s explained, the hive fleets each have their own minds on best ways to fight for survival
Best to think about it like an octopus and each fleet is an arm capable of acting independently from the whole. Each "tentacle" still serves the main body but goes about it differently dependent on environmental conditions or interactions with the galaxies inhabitants.
At the start I mention that they're all connected to the same hive mind, but yes they are all a singular species, it's just that this fleet seems to act quite differently from the others, often in a somewhat paradoxical way
Each Norn Queen is slightly independent of the Hive Mind, allowing them to craft their bioforms with a greater degree of creativity and ingenuity then would be possible if they were slaved to it completely. This makes it so that each Hive Fleet, despite answering overall to the same Hive Mind, is completely independent of its fellows and capable of evolving into unique forms. This also means that the Norn Queens sometimes decide to play a game of Natural Selection by fighting one another: the fleet that wins this melee absorbs the loser and puts all of its genetic resources to use, strengthening the swarm overall.
3:08 What hive fleet hydra does to failed hive fleets. 8:14 Hydra devoures biomass that survived on worlds destroyed by other Tyranid Hive fleets, fascinating 🤔 40:30 Putting up dead Tyranid can attract other Tryanid hive fleets... Like Hive Fleet Hydra. (Hydra is a splinter hive fleet byw, when major hive fleets are destroyed, if all the ships in the fleet arent killed they will split up smd create new smaller hive fleets).
@@Scholarslore It really makes your videos feel more unique and fleshed out ! For example the need to have a logical context for the audio "the sermon" really allows for a greater sense of immersion. Also, you not spamming us with 2 videos a day really helps as well
These vids are so interesting thank you for putting out solid content its awesome for when im working (i work in a kitchen) straight up COOKIN to these vids
That’s a good analogy. I’ve heard people say the 40k universe would be a terrible place to live no matter the faction but I think being the hive mind would be pretty dope lol.
No idea if this is the right place to ask, Hive Fleet Tiamet has been observed to create bio-structures and maintain a presence on some planets, I read about it somewhere. Any plans to do a video on that?
100% I will. I think I speak about them a tiny bit in the Ymgarl genestealer vid, but I'm needing to do a full length video on them soon. Saw another comment asking about them as well, so I'll probably make them the next fleet to cover
I am VERY glad i found this channel. It's relaxing despite the content. Quite relaxing. I wanted to ask; have there been any reports of them out in the Ghoul Stars? Do they go out there at all? Im still learning the lore and understanding it so if its a silly question, my bad.
Thank you! Not a silly question at all! From what I've read, it's only been Jormungandr, Moloch, and Tiamet which have been directly referenced as moving into the Ghoul Stars, but because of how the Hydra has been written by GW, I reckon that it would be more than plausible to expect them to move in the wake of the other fleets, so it wouldn't be out of the question to have a tendril of Hydra set within that region
@@Scholarslore oooh okay. Dang. I've been learning a bit more about the Ghoul Stars lately and that does seem to make some sense that they would only move out there in the wake of other fleets! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope you do video on the Ghoul Stars because that place is WEIRD. Even by this universes standards. Thank you kindly friend. Have a wonderful day.
I can't imagine a defeated fleet trying to fight Hydra. They are both controlled by the same hive mind. It would be like your left hand and your right hand fighting eachother.
this means the swarm is NOT a coherent, one piece entity. It has many facets of this overmind which are not entirely under its control. this means there is a way to disrupt their harmony and even make them feral again. imagine a swarm that has been reverted back to individuals or pockets of consciousness and not a single hive mind.
@@Winston-lf7sb That's been the case for a few years now. Hive fleets fighting and devouring each other was standard practice. What makes Hydra different is that they're explicitly going after hive fleets. Rather than trying to devour the galaxy.
41:00 So you’re telling me that if the Imperial Navy had had just the smallest amount of defenses or early warning ships deployed to that system, then the Nids would’ve simply walked right into a killing field like a lamb to slaughter? 🤔
Ooh~ adding sound effects now?? :D (Clearly they’re just recovered recordings being included in this lecture, and not warp sorcery playing with our minds, right?)
In all honesty, the sound bytes with the awakening of the hive fleet provided such a whole new level of vivid imagery that my own mind was able to recreate that scene in my head almost too accurately to the point where I shuddered!
Sorry! That's actually a good idea though, I should do that. As a note though, most of the music I use (which are are royalty free tracks downloaded from pixabay), are ones which I have remixed, and changed up to suit the tones of the videos, so the playlist might be more of an instructional, telling people which song to download, and how to adjust it to get the same sound. Sometimes the tracks have been limited with a filter to cut off certain frequencies, so the actual "base" version of the track will likely be quite a bit more interesting than my own! The song in this video is called "Tronic" by "Alfred_Grupstra" on Pixabay. To make it sound like the version in the video, all you'll need to do is slow it by 50%, which should shift the pitch to match how it sounds in mine. I had cut out the introduction to the song since it was a bit distracting to me, but aside from that it is all the same! Also sorry again, I'll start including the song titles in the description 🙏
If they're royalty free and you edited them. Can you not make a secondary channel to upload your versions?? Because I want THAT that that YOU made! Sounds so wonderful. We'd all love you for doing this I promise! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for responding all the same! You're one of my most fave 40k lore keepers!
Tyranids technically all do this anyway. Biomass is biomass after all & it all goes into the same pit. It's quite usual for them to "recycle" the bodies of fallen Nids to breed & feed the next batch. Pretty efficient & resourceful for homicidal crab/insect things.
I believe it's been mislabeled it should have been named Hive fleet Vulture given the information you have provided they seem to be scavengers first picking over the bones of whatever is left.
Mean tbh any information they gain would be immediately free reign for the hivemind which the hivemind can spread that knowledge throughout it's other fleets tbh.. Only thing Hydra primarily gaines for itself is biomass which can not be as instantously transfered.
Frankly on the scale of the nids basically trying to consume every little piece they can they lose nothing but time. Everything is recycled with them so unless an outside force truly destroys the biomass they will always be at worst net neutral
Hey scholar i knew you wouldn't read this but i just wanna ask, how many references in a video like this?,where you get your references ? Also even if you sure you know the topic will you double check your sources just to make sure it wasn't retconed?
Love the Emperor, for he is the salvation of mankind. He is wisdom, for he will protect you from evil. Whisper his prayers with devotion, for they will save your soul. Honor his servants, for they speak in his voice. Trembel before his majesty, for we all walk in his imortal shadow. Blessed are we, of the Emperor of mankind.
Dude I thought there was a mosquito in my room while I was trying to sleep high, please don't add quiet highpitched humming noises to your videos in the future.
Strange that you would make such a long video and not once talk about how Tyranids not only consume biomass, but also minerals and metals. Where it talks about leaving "sterilized ships" in the void, this is just not correct, as they consume enemy ships. A "scavenger" Hive Fleet would take the time to focus on consuming the magnitudes more matter that it can and then turn it into biomass instead of just the biomass. Other than this, it was a good video.
Oh just quick FYI, you're all the best
Thanks for doing what you do. I sleep so much better these days.
No you :)
Good work man.
Wonderful video, I love Tyranids.
Can you go over HiveFleet Grendyllus
Right back at ya.
Yay
As someone who wants to enter to the W40k lore,all this information has been pretty resourceful

Goodnight Brothers
The only way to drift into peaceful slumber is to hear stories of our galaxy being devoured by alien horrors
Perfect for a cold winter night
I knew I wasn't the only one who found these so soothing!!!
The Nids take the no waste policy to a whole new level
Possibly the most environmentally conscious of Tyranids in existence, they simply wish to reduce, reuse, and recycle
Tyranid crunching on 3 human skulls:
"Reduce, reuse, and recycle!"
very eco-friendly.

I almost feel bad for those Drukhari pirates that awoke Hydra, only to be mercilessly devoured.
Almost!
They were just innocent pirates, they never hurt anybody!
Well I am happy
Kind of a pointless story as well. Theory: retrieve sample to make killing poison. result: Retrievers killed. Theory: still up to debate. :(
These bois are an absolute unit
Tyranids stuck in The Warp must be a crazy party.
I'm sure the nids and demons get on like a house on fire
Sprinkle a fleet of Orks in there lol
@@pacman3102000 There's a story of a warboss that enjoyed fighting demons so much he flew his army right into the eye of terror.

Pretty sure anything stuck in the warp is a few bricks short of a load...

And we are fighting the winners of this evolving race.
They may have been doing this for 2 to 3 billion years, feeding and learning from each other over n over, till all of a sudden saw a signal from another Galaxy.
That signal drew the lot of them.

Hot Tyranids in your area!
20AU away!
The week dragged itself unbearably... Thank you for your hard work :)
Thank you for listening, hopefully this takes some of the edge off
I'm in here reloading the video until I get at least five 60sec ads that I DONT skip, you can't comprehend my devotion
Very much appreciated, but you don't have to subject yourself to adverts for my benefit!
The model is sounding fantastic ❤ Praise the three in one! 🙏
Thank you
I have just realised something utterly important, and mind changing abouth nids.... They are not controled by hive mind, but reather by high mind.... Cuz that would explain the endless munchies....
Gonna call the inquisitors on you for that one, that's some high-class stoner logic which must have come from the warp

Praise be unto the mighty scholar!
Praise be!
another wonderful sermon from the scholar! i hope we can see a sermon on the mysterious hive fleet tiamet and its strange collection of uneaten worlds
Thank you! But yes I'll cover Tiamet as well, I've referenced them a couple times now and I think they're well and truly deserving of their own topic
Thanks for doing this, I rep hydra as my hivefleet!
Sick, I absolutely love their colour scheme, really making me reconsider my own behemoth army
@@Scholarslore Behemoth is a good looking hive fleet, I did up about 10 behemoth flavored Tyranid hunters for my deathwatch before I started on my Hydra army. But decided on Hydra because I wanted them to match the space hulk genestealers I had already painted up.

Its almost like the other fleets are the vanguard.
Hydra is the main fleet. After bloating enough they could birth new vanguards
Good theory, would make a lot of sense if that was the case
The Emperor himself would be delighted at your amazing sermons!
Tiamet is my hive fleet of choice! A video on them would be pretty cool!
100% I'll cover them next, I redid my to-do list, and if I remember rightly they were the top fleet to work on

cancer is a thing, probably even for nids

Tyranids technically all do this anyway. Biomass is biomass after all & it all goes into the same pit. It's quite usual for them to "recycle" the bodies of fallen Nids to breed & feed the next batch. Pretty efficient & resourceful for homicidal crab/insect things.
I wish there were more instances of flighting between two different hivefleets from an outside perspective.
Hive fleet Hydra: The ultimate contingency.
can't wait to see Tiamats Video
Horrific stuff, scholar!
YAAAAYY TYRANIISD 😈
I believe it's been mislabeled it should have been named Hive fleet Vulture given the information you have provided they seem to be scavengers first picking over the bones of whatever is left.
And here I thought I was being unique with my color scheme, turns out I'm just a cannibal.
Mean tbh any information they gain would be immediately free reign for the hivemind which the hivemind can spread that knowledge throughout it's other fleets tbh.. Only thing Hydra primarily gaines for itself is biomass which can not be as instantously transfered.
The sound effects add to the dreadful discusting threat they are
Jormangandr is back ?
Hydra is the real tyranid invasion. The others are just scouts for the main fleet.
One thing that confuses me is aren't they using a lot of energy to get a very small return in some cases?
Frankly on the scale of the nids basically trying to consume every little piece they can they lose nothing but time. Everything is recycled with them so unless an outside force truly destroys the biomass they will always be at worst net neutral
😂 could you imagine surviving both invasions.😂
And here I thought I was gonna go to bed….
Praise be the machine god.
16:10 ASMODAI !!
Hey scholar i knew you wouldn't read this but i just wanna ask, how many references in a video like this?,where you get your references ? Also even if you sure you know the topic will you double check your sources just to make sure it wasn't retconed?
technically there was a banquet
unfortunately it was exenos-style buffet
Do you write these yourself?
So is there one hive mind for all the hive fleets or does each hive fleet has its own hive mind
Every single nid creature is a part of the one singular hive mind presence ❤
Love the Emperor, for he is the salvation of mankind.
He is wisdom, for he will protect you from evil.

You worship a corpse. Free yourself from the LIES!!! ❤
I think hydra is the nids version of a cancer within the hives
chitinous you would say kite in
Looks like a zerg hydralisk.
Aren't they always technically eating their own kind through the biomass vats
I want to hear about the time they're ancient Ai disrupted the space marines.?
Why it's not called Ouroborous confuses me.

David A. with a different pitch yup
HAIL HYDRA
Noone has said "Hail Hydra" yet?
I did think about throwing a few references to the other Hydra, missed opportunity tbh
And it would be rather awkward next time the Inquisition visits
Hydra dominatus
Wouldn't want to get MCU on my Warhammer 🤮
He's referring to hydra dominates
Aka alpha legion (I think he is anyways)
if its indeed such powerful then why it can't dig itself out from the lore? :)

Dude I thought there was a mosquito in my room while I was trying to sleep high, please don't add quiet highpitched humming noises to your videos in the future.
LMAO that's actually kinda funny ngl
Strange that you would make such a long video and not once talk about how Tyranids not only consume biomass, but also minerals and metals. Where it talks about leaving "sterilized ships" in the void, this is just not correct, as they consume enemy ships. A "scavenger" Hive Fleet would take the time to focus on consuming the magnitudes more matter that it can and then turn it into biomass instead of just the biomass. Other than this, it was a good video.
Should just start dumping tyranid stuff into the warp. It's a galactic garbage dump as it is anyway.
