The "j" in Jormungandr is pronounced as a "y", so it is pronounced "YOUR-mun-gand-ur". This is a reference to the Midgaard Serpent coiled around the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, in the Norse Poetic Edda.
I think you’re getting a little confused with Nidhoggr. Jormungandr, as far as I know, just loops around Midgard like an ouroboros, biting it’s own tail. NIDHOGGR, however, is the drake that gnaws at the branches of the world tree. (I don’t care that this comment is four years old, if I can inform others who might see it).
THANK YOU I've seen many video where people struggle to pronounce this even tho it's that complicated (and any geek who had the least amount of interest in nordic mythology should know how to pronounce it)
I see no conflict or need for clarification on the tactics. Jormungandr allways is in cover and imperial fists simply don't give a sh!t about it. Sounds simple enough to me.
I've stuck with Nids since Nids were ... well Nids. We were the top tier army, we were feared. Then as the editions evolved the Nids became weaker and weaker until it got to the point I could barely hold my own against a middle tier army, not to mention how quickly a Tau army would decimate us ... dead by turn 2, yeah no thanks. Hopefully this is the return of the Tyranid Hive in all it's glory - my 25,000 points of PAINTED Nids will devour all!
ua-cam.com/video/ttcQogK3zjI/v-deo.htmlm38s Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors tactics ignore cover. They ignore any benefit gained for being in cover. Jormungandr gain the benefit of cover regardless where they are (imagine the entire brood of termagants carrying trees with them). They gain cover, which is then ignored by Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors. The benefit is from their tunnel networks. Tunnelling is a very common siege/counter siege tactic. One both the Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors will be well versed in using and countering. It makes perfect sense.
Brian Cripps exactly this! Cover gives you a +1 save that's all, if they had said gains +1 to armour, tough luck imperial fists, but this would use the specific cover rules which certain armies and units can ignore... but nobody plays iron warriors or imperial fists anymore right?
I'm a tyranid player and have never really had an amazingly powerful army, focusing on a thematic swarm of critters and I really like the look of these new rules. I have always have had issues with my m8s necron wraiths and the cannon which ignores invulnerable saves has me very excited. Am a bit disappointed that my gaunts won't start eating each other if left alone but on the whole the new stuff looks great. The hive mind hungers
As a tyranid player since 5e I can state this, Carnifexes are no longer engines of pure, unending destruction. They are actually balanced now. Instead raveners seem to be their new OP unit given the boons they can get with the Red Terror. Also it's nice to see Tyrannofexes become usable with all load outs. It used to be spine banks or nothing but now weapons like the rupture cannon can be fielded successfully.
How to say Jormungandr...Well this is UA-cam, just look for Sabaton- Twilight of the Thundergods, they sing how its correctly pronounced, and the band is Swedish so i guess they know how you say ancient Viking stuff. ua-cam.com/video/8cDa7yZeci8/v-deo.html Yeah there is a Amon Amorth (original) version but good luck understanding them.
Looks like Tyranids might be nasty again. They havent been much since maybe 3rd edition,,then that was debatable. They sound like they might be badass to play again.
think the feel no pain within 6" is a bit too low, there is a limit to how many hormagaunts you can fit in there, kind of weak would be cool if it was 12" but i guess since templates are no longer a thing clumping up isnt as big an issue as it once was about kronos, think biovores, launching swarms of spore mines not sure how artillery works now, but many editions ago you could hide your entire army and just lob an army of floating testicles of doom at your enemy and you can choose between 3 different flavors of spore mines so some flexibility living ammo also used to be a thing in 3d i think, the shot missing, but then the beetle you shot gets up and crawls up your boots and starts nomming, not sure why its when not moved tho, especially since almost all nid guns are assault old one eye for everyone !!! yay more one-eyed goodness! :/ but the unique zoantrope that took a bite out of the eldar death god is no more, retconned to death :.c join the hive, you know you want to :D NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!! best battlecry! quite normal that nid players are happy with it, first time in 4 editions that they have been viable at all its not surprising you didnt fight nids in a long time
spaghetti formation ftw!!! long lines all leading back to the synapse creature x) but seriously, it would help but still the least useful of the buffs, the rework of synapse undoes a lot of the problems nids have had for many editions but this hive brings those back but then again, no templates anymore so its not as bad as it was in 5th its worth playing nids again, so thats awesome
Kronos probably doesn't "feel Tyranid" because it's mostly identical to Cadian's regimental trait, but slightly less powerful as Cadians can make it re-roll all misses with an order.
Synapse and Instinctive Behaviour have always been kind of off over the various editions but 7th was really bad. It didn't make the Tyranids unplayable but you did have to play them a certain way to get round the rules and be reasonably competitive for a game to be worth it. That you aren't forced into cover or not allowed to shoot or none of your unites start killing themselves would have been enough but I have to say this version seems like the best the rules have ever been.
Cannot wait for this to come out, been working on swarm nid army since 8th dropped and I'm totally loving everything they've teased so far. Tyranids deserve some love after being so bad for ages and because they are the only good guys in the game.
As an ork player, with a small nid force as well, this codex gets a big thumbs up from me. It's varied, it's fun, most of the units in it are useful without feeling broken, and stuff happens when you fight tyranids! Ork on tyranid battles are always action filled and bloody
Marketlights too can remove the benefit of cover, so another one to be confirmed. Re-rolling 1's makes them about 1/6th more effective assuming BS 4+. It is really more for weapon beasts or Guard on the back line.
Kronos Would be a used when fighting Tau - They adapted to the way the Tau Fight Also Tryanids are not induvidual fleets but they are all under the Hive Mind and it could replicate them across the all the fleets.
Jormungandr: (your-mun-gond-er) it is the original Old Norse name for the Midgard Serpent. Tyranid hive fleets are named after various beasts and monsters of legends; this one comes from the Vikings.
The more videos of yours I watch, the more I want to get into 40k. After watching this video and some quick research I see some vague parallels between the Tyranids and the Zerg from StarCraft: my favorite faction to play both from the straight-forward rushing to the"Ew, that's gross looking. I like it." weird factor. Thank you for making these videos!
I don't play WH40K (since a few games using the v1 ruleset in the 80s... and I remember the White Dwarf that introduced Genestealers. I'd bought it for something else) but it all seems consistent with Tyranid lore which is basically "eat the face off the nearest non-Tyranid lifeform to you," hehe.
I seem to recall different creatures having different instinctive behaviours, like some would stand and fire, some would try to charge, and some would lurk dangerously. Has this been super-simplified?
Previews so far are 10/10 for me. Tyranids felt like the only army where choosing a faction was just... colors. Now, for the first time, being from one Hive Fleet or another FEELS relevant.
I love Tyranids. I have been an avid collector for years. People hated them in 7th I loved playing them then. An 8th is really shaping out to be a good place for us nid players. Im just wondering about custom built hive fleets. Can we just pick any of the hive fleet adaptations before the battle.
As a traditional dark angel player (non-primaris) i'm getting very concerned with this kind of thing. Dangels are going to get smashed to bits by virtually everyone at this rate. Can't say i'm overly impressed. Our codex had better have some op stuff or our armies will be essentially useless.
23:33 but, Hive Tyrants are characters with 12 wounds, so anyone can target them, including your artilliary tanks! No hiding behind Gaunts for those big guys.
It’s pretty clear they lose cover. If you are given something. And someone always takes it from you then you lose it. You do not constantly have it. They start with cover. Then the other person takes it away. So it’s an even playing field. Idk I think it’s clear.
Jormundgander counts as being in cover. Imperial fists simply are unaffected by cover. There's no interpretation problem in there. Universal cover on something with so many models is brutal. I'm kinda glad it gets hard countered by some elite armies who can't shoot as much and need these shots to count.
I assume IF and IW tactics just ignore their cover as usual, not sure way you think they wouldn't. Plues they only affect inf, bikes and dreads so they still get cover against vehicles
Your right. It feels like spacemarines always come out first. Than we get hyped for them .but then the next codexes come out n they more creative and way better and your scatching your head thinking how do they ever win. Then your waiting for the other chapters to come out n theyre dissappointing too. Like why does samuels sword better than azreals? Makes no sense.
The stratagem for Kronos sounds interesting! Because some tyranid units, for example the tyrannofex, can fire twice if they didn't move in the movement phase, and I think the exocrine does too.. (I don't have the index on me at the moment..)
I think the issue with reoccurring legion/chapter/craftworld traits has more to do with 8th edition. Since everything has been more or less simplified GW has less to work with. For better or for worse they brought this on themselves.
It’s this type of thing that lets me have hope that when it is the Orks turn for a codex it’s going to be quite choice! They have been so underwhelming for so long. I see clans coming back and meaning something again. I also see full blown grot armies for the nutters that like that sort of thing. Eagerly anticipating!
Amazing assessment for a none tyranid player. For someone who plays nids, and has been dying to get my hands on this book since my friend got his death guard one. I am very impressed. The thing you missed which is awesome the fnp, with the tervigon, and termagants. That means you get to walk up the board respawning your troops and they all get a fnp.
i'm still waiting for Sisters of Battle to get plastic models and their own book. Sometimes i think i have a better chance of GW making fantasy square based again.
I quite like the idea of one faction not having a useful adaptation or tactic against certain forces. I feel it’s kind of what the traits are about so imperial fists being dispatched against Jormund(whatever) because the ultramarines were struggling to hit them in tunnels adds up
I little broken they should have to be within 24 inches it's not hard when it's 4feet across they used to eat each other and stuff. Other then that it's all good. In my opinion
I think that the unique abilities to each faction if they counter dict each other, then they should just cancel each other out and neither side gets there ability
I might be tempted to build a small Tyranid swarm now, just a Start Collecting box plus a few handful of other units. I like how they are attempting to flush out new hive fleets. Might be fun to play small skirmishes with.
Not sure how I feel about the different traits for different Hive Fleets. It adds flavour to each fleet, but slightly disrupts the monolithic unity of the Tyranids as a whole.
+Wam-mnebu I guess that makes sense. Now that I think about it, I do remember in one of the Ultramarine novels a character mentions that one genetic poison tailored against a Hive Fleet would not work on other Hive Fleets due to divergent genetics. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
each hive is slightly different its a form of constant evolution, it evolves down a certain path and then the hives fight each other to find the most efficient its a part of the constant strive for biological perfection and the natural evolution that is a core part of tyranids not that anyone fighting them would notice, if you see one horizon covered in hormagaunts then you have basically seen all ... wonder if the swarm lord will have rules letting you combine hive traits
femnids =/= Tyranids...no idea how this shitty # became a thing, tyranids or any 40k faction infact has nothing to do with real life extremist feminist nutjobs...if anything they are closest to tau...
Orkan they more like a Genestealer cult, infiltrate, infest, corrupt, then take over forcing everything to be about them until its totally destroyed, Looks at any thing they have targeted e.g. comics, magic, RPG' like dnd, metal, atheist+ Take over the press, tell us we all bad, and we should do as they say, then move it onto only things they are interested in. Then the fan base dies.
Dude im against extremist 3rd wave feminists and im aware what they are sadly capable to do, but im also against this stupid nonsensical #, that ridicules tyranids for no reason at all. "infiltrate, infest, corrupt, then take over forcing everything to be about them until its totally destroyed" Thats more fitting for Chaos anyway, perverting something to a shitty version that lost everything that was good about something before. Even worse this # is already misused, this video has nothing to do extremist feminists and still there is this stupid nonrelated # in a video about Tyranids.
Orkan :D I was having fun, but its all serious now? The silyness of a #tag or not to be the silyness of a #tag that is the question! Whether 'tis nobler on twitter to suffer. The slings and bolt rounds of outrage, or take words against a sea of wrong think. And by opposing end them.
Soooo the majority I am getting from this.... Tyranids stole D weapons and spread it out amongst their army... Over powered horde army....jeez GWs did you really have that many tyranids in your warehouse that you need to move?

(I don’t care that this comment is four years old, if I can inform others who might see it).
tyranid player i stopped playing nids becouse i was sick of them eating themself when my synaps was down and im so happy they finnally fixed it
I didn't win a single game in 7th ed. Now they feel soo much better.
Jormundgandr - YOR-MUND-GAHN-DIR.
THANK YOU
I've seen many video where people struggle to pronounce this even tho it's that complicated (and any geek who had the least amount of interest in nordic mythology should know how to pronounce it)
Agreed. It's frustrating to watch.
I thought it was your-man-GAN-Dur also I’m with Bee-he-muth instead of bay-heh-moth because I live in America and we typically say it that way
Tyranids, Yes they just want you for your body.
Hope Tyranids are a popular army on tabletop, love to fight them and how different they are from pretty much all other factions.
I see no conflict or need for clarification on the tactics.
Jormungandr allways is in cover and imperial fists simply don't give a sh!t about it. Sounds simple enough to me.
Gnarlf Yeah, it is. I was over complicating things in my head!
orks orks orks orks i cant wait to kill some bugs ^^ "wha tha hume say exterme......extero......KILL UM"
I collect Space Marines, Death Guard, Admech, Imperial Guard and Tyranids. My wallet hurts since 8th came out.
I will also note that Imperial guard and Tyranids are getting me a lot more excited than the other armies have.
I've stuck with Nids since Nids were ... well Nids. We were the top tier army, we were feared. Then as the editions evolved the Nids became weaker and weaker until it got to the point I could barely hold my own against a middle tier army, not to mention how quickly a Tau army would decimate us ... dead by turn 2, yeah no thanks. Hopefully this is the return of the Tyranid Hive in all it's glory - my 25,000 points of PAINTED Nids will devour all!
I have yet to lose against Guard with my Nids. Actually I have yet to lose with my Nids, period. In 8th edition, that is.
You gotta post a video of those

Well explained, thank you! Makes sense laid out like that.
Its ignore cover bonus of +1 isn't it? some units like Ratlings get +2 save for cover, the equivalent of camo cloak in previous editions.
I could see in games where those rules both applied cover just behaving like normal
Watcher Zero the ignore cover rules I have seen so far are just ignores cover, so the bonuses some units get, all gone against specific units/armies
I'm a tyranid player and have never really had an amazingly powerful army, focusing on a thematic swarm of critters and I really like the look of these new rules. I have always have had issues with my m8s necron wraiths and the cannon which ignores invulnerable saves has me very excited. Am a bit disappointed that my gaunts won't start eating each other if left alone but on the whole the new stuff looks great. The hive mind hungers
This is why I recommend you Genestealer Cult. They are the link that lets you field both Nids and Guards in the same army and it still being fluffy~
Balethorn cannon is going to wreck harlequins so hard
As a tyranid player since 5e I can state this, Carnifexes are no longer engines of pure, unending destruction. They are actually balanced now.

ua-cam.com/video/8cDa7yZeci8/v-deo.html
Yeah there is a Amon Amorth (original) version but good luck understanding them.
Somewhere, deep in the warp, Nurgle is crying himself to sleep.
Kronos often fought against Daemons and you can't eat them. Shooting is more efficient in dealing with them.
So pumped for this book. Been playing nids since 8th first released and they're fun already. Adding this? Can't wait. Fluffy and damn good stuff.
Playin nids 4th and 5th ed. Nerfed in 6 and 7...... turned to khorne to fill my need for midless slaughter....Missed my bugs so much....
I sold my nids in 6th edition, biggest mistake i made my favorite force to use and i sold em all off............why did i do it.
Pedro 009 Yeah hopefully they are loved by someone new, i did a decent paint job on them too.
Looks like Tyranids might be nasty again. They havent been much since maybe 3rd edition,,then that was debatable. They sound like they might be badass to play again.
Jormungandr; the 'J' is pronounced as a 'Y'. So Yormungander.
think the feel no pain within 6" is a bit too low, there is a limit to how many hormagaunts you can fit in there, kind of weak
would be cool if it was 12" but i guess since templates are no longer a thing clumping up isnt as big an issue as it once was
about kronos, think biovores, launching swarms of spore mines
not sure how artillery works now, but many editions ago you could hide your entire army and just lob an army of floating testicles of doom at your enemy
and you can choose between 3 different flavors of spore mines so some flexibility
living ammo also used to be a thing in 3d i think, the shot missing, but then the beetle you shot gets up and crawls up your boots and starts nomming, not sure why its when not moved tho, especially since almost all nid guns are assault
old one eye for everyone !!! yay more one-eyed goodness!
:/ but the unique zoantrope that took a bite out of the eldar death god is no more, retconned to death :.c
join the hive, you know you want to :D NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!
best battlecry!
quite normal that nid players are happy with it, first time in 4 editions that they have been viable at all
its not surprising you didnt fight nids in a long time
Ashardalon Dragnipurake i think if you have one model within 6 inches the entire unit will get it.
spaghetti formation ftw!!!
long lines all leading back to the synapse creature x)
but seriously, it would help
but still the least useful of the buffs, the rework of synapse undoes a lot of the problems nids have had for many editions but this hive brings those back
but then again, no templates anymore so its not as bad as it was in 5th
its worth playing nids again, so thats awesome
Its just like synapse daisy chain tactic worked as long as one model in the unit gets it the whole unit gets it.
Kronos probably doesn't "feel Tyranid" because it's mostly identical to Cadian's regimental trait, but slightly less powerful as Cadians can make it re-roll all misses with an order.
I started 40k with nids and after 5th put them away and started a chaos army. Now I'm thinking I need to bring them back out and dust them off.
Synapse and Instinctive Behaviour have always been kind of off over the various editions but 7th was really bad. It didn't make the Tyranids unplayable but you did have to play them a certain way to get round the rules and be reasonably competitive for a game to be worth it. That you aren't forced into cover or not allowed to shoot or none of your unites start killing themselves would have been enough but I have to say this version seems like the best the rules have ever been.
I think it's "Yor-mun-GAN-dr". ;)
Plastic Sisters, Celestial Sisters and Underhive.
Can't wait for the dark angel codex and inquisition.
Benjamin Mapperson OrKs!!! WaRgHhHhH!!!
Cannot wait for this to come out, been working on swarm nid army since 8th dropped and I'm totally loving everything they've teased so far. Tyranids deserve some love after being so bad for ages and because they are the only good guys in the game.
I think the Imperial Fist and Jormungandr tactics just negate each other.
As an ork player, with a small nid force as well, this codex gets a big thumbs up from me. It's varied, it's fun, most of the units in it are useful without feeling broken, and stuff happens when you fight tyranids! Ork on tyranid battles are always action filled and bloody

You mean... Tyranids will be 'playable' now?
Kronos Would be a used when fighting Tau - They adapted to the way the Tau Fight

Hey Kri. Great vid as always.
For reference, Jormangandr is pronounced Yor-mun-gander
Kronos was designed to fight becrons wasn't it? That's why they sit back and shoot , because they can't consume them for biomas? I think that's right.
I quite like the idea of one faction not having a useful adaptation or tactic against certain forces. I feel it’s kind of what the traits are about so imperial fists being dispatched against Jormund(whatever) because the ultramarines were struggling to hit them in tunnels adds up
The Jormungandr tunnel network fluff would've made way more sense if the whole army had some low-level version of lictor camo going on
I little broken they should have to be within 24 inches it's not hard when it's 4feet across they used to eat each other and stuff. Other then that it's all good. In my opinion
Kronos + Exocrines and Hive Guard. Just try it, you'll be glad you did.
No one seems to be able to say jormungandr, it's norse mythology ; Yor-mun-gan-dr
Welcome to the Hive... remember that Genestealer cults can get access to some \IG vehicals aswell
Made taking out their key units rewarding vs pointless that was fluffy
hive fleet kronos: because even the nids need to hold the line sometimes
"Modal nodal relay"...cantina music starts playing.
I think that the unique abilities to each faction if they counter dict each other, then they should just cancel each other out and neither side gets there ability
Are the Iron Hands now tyranids? hive fleet gorgon and kronos ?^^
I just started playing and decided on tyranids, I'm enjoying it allot
I might be tempted to build a small Tyranid swarm now, just a Start Collecting box plus a few handful of other units. I like how they are attempting to flush out new hive fleets. Might be fun to play small skirmishes with.
Tyranids? Small skirmish? Something don't sound right with that
Can I say u look far to young to be a dad. Can i have the name of ur moisturiser
As soon as you said “Bayhamoth” you lost me. But hey, you do you. 😒
Get tyranids
chronos will be so stong with the exocrine
Holy shit you have kids?
Hail hydra!
Not sure how I feel about the different traits for different Hive Fleets. It adds flavour to each fleet, but slightly disrupts the monolithic unity of the Tyranids as a whole.
+Wam-mnebu
I guess that makes sense. Now that I think about it, I do remember in one of the Ultramarine novels a character mentions that one genetic poison tailored against a Hive Fleet would not work on other Hive Fleets due to divergent genetics.
Thanks for pointing it out to me.
each hive is slightly different
its a form of constant evolution, it evolves down a certain path and then the hives fight each other to find the most efficient
its a part of the constant strive for biological perfection and the natural evolution that is a core part of tyranids
not that anyone fighting them would notice, if you see one horizon covered in hormagaunts then you have basically seen all
... wonder if the swarm lord will have rules letting you combine hive traits
Iam just seeing it as adaptation for different times, they are all eaten by Hivefleet Hydra anyway in the current time.

Jormungandr = Your-Mun-Gan-der. :D
Anyone know if Ol' One Eye is a threat again? I'm getting tired of fielding him as a regular carnifex.
aweeeehhh yeah, he kicks ass. Gives your Carnifex within 6" +1 to hit rolls, negating crushing claw penalties :3
OOOHHHHHHH, now i really do have to fix up his aging, chipping paint job :)
On his own not so much but bring a couple friends for him and it's all gravy. Literally
Khronos...Exo-- hitting on twoplus in two rounds of shooting. Ouch
Bryan Merrick Exocrines hit on 3s right?

Feminids are coming! the Feminids are coming!
femnids =/= Tyranids...no idea how this shitty # became a thing, tyranids or any 40k faction infact has nothing to do with real life extremist feminist nutjobs...if anything they are closest to tau...
Orkan they more like a Genestealer cult, infiltrate, infest, corrupt, then take over forcing everything to be about them until its totally destroyed,
Looks at any thing they have targeted e.g. comics, magic, RPG' like dnd, metal, atheist+
Take over the press, tell us we all bad, and we should do as they say, then move it onto only things they are interested in. Then the fan base dies.
Dude im against extremist 3rd wave feminists and im aware what they are sadly capable to do, but im also against this stupid nonsensical #, that ridicules tyranids for no reason at all.
"infiltrate, infest, corrupt, then take over forcing everything to be about them until its totally destroyed" Thats more fitting for Chaos anyway, perverting something to a shitty version that lost everything that was good about something before.
Even worse this # is already misused, this video has nothing to do extremist feminists and still there is this stupid nonrelated # in a video about Tyranids.
Orkan :D I was having fun, but its all serious now?
The silyness of a #tag or not to be the silyness of a #tag that is the question! Whether 'tis nobler on twitter to suffer. The slings and bolt rounds of outrage, or take words against a sea of wrong think. And by opposing end them.
Dude as far as im concered this a better reason to be triggerd than being triggerd about the nonexsistent lack reprsentation in 40k...
Soooo the majority I am getting from this....
Tyranids stole D weapons and spread it out amongst their army...
Over powered horde army....jeez GWs did you really have that many tyranids in your warehouse that you need to move?
