@@robertnelson9599 Eh, only some do. The others tend to just get randomly chosen for this, or are just not really that smart and think its perfectly safe for a mek-boy with a WARP-POWERED-TELEPORTATION-CANNON to use it to teleport them to/inside enemy vehicles and/or infantry. I wonder if the Orks ever made a ship version of that weapon. They could use it to just go around to various systems teleporting soon-to-be-crazed/dead orks onto planets just to get them spored up and REALLY annoy anyone who liked having there be no Orks on that planet. An Orkish infestation for every world!
And if the enemy manages to crack your infinity circuit, they still don't win since there will be an instant planet wide Slaneshi Daemon incursion! Some might be tempted to call this a minor drawback of the weapon but considering the Imperium was probably willing and able to virus bomb the planet if the Eldar won, well it comes out to about even until you consider the Eldars reproduction rate of "no" and what the daemons have in-store for them... 0/10 would use copious amounts WraithGuard instead.

Well you mentioned someone hitting an Eldar Titan. I really want to see that Person, because hitting something that moves as fast as a fighter Jet with a Titan class weapon is hard even without holofields
A giant multi limbed monstrosity that can fire millions of armour piercing tipped carnivorous giant maggots. A bit more deadly than just a pile of goey nonsense
I feel that the tyranids need a super heavy Titan, like a really bulky carnifex thing with a giant mouth. Something that does not have range capabilities but can smash anything up close into bits.

Yup, Eldar warmachines would be plain terrifying to go up against. And I'd wager any imperial in the know (or anyone else for that matter) would be thankful that the Eldar are on the verge of extinction.
Yeah, also scattered to the winds. Should the Eldar ever get a chance at controlling at least a handful of systems undisturbed for a few centuries to a millennium and fully reunite while the Imperium had to deal with pressing matters, they might soon find themselves in a position to actually defend against anything but the full force of the empire, and should they be able to expand they would soon be able to tear the empires ass so far open you could fit Planets in there. Essentially, the Eldar don´t even need to be able to defend against the Imperium as soon as they reach a certain level of offensive power especially in space. They can just leave their planets to be exterminated (barring what they can evacuate) and go for an MAD solution by going straight to Terra and BTFO the Emperor himself as soon as the Imperial Fleet appears at their Doorstep. The empire is being beset by multiple forces and the Eldar would just have to get past a certain point of offensive capabilities where they can wound the empire gravely enough to ensure its demise over the coming millennia. And let the Empire know that. The Empire and the Eldar would then enter into something like a cold war where they arms-race against each other and try to gain advantages in local skirmishes without ever fully committing larger forces, at least until the Empire can shield its crown jewel from the Eldar. (The empire needs to amass enough arms to kill the entire Eldar fleet twice, once on the offense and one on the defense, all without exposing itself to the other enemies for any longer time. Problem is, this would benefit the Eldar greatly as they are WAY faster than the Empire. The alternative would be somewhat of an uneasy peace where they essentially promise to leave each other the fuck alone.
Problem is if they ever tried to set up an empire it would sound like a ringing dinner bell to Slaaneshi demons and servants who would be endlessly attacking them

+Rellana1 That happens all the time (at least, it used to...)

Of course, nothing acquired as loot stays the way it was found for very long, lack of maintenance usually means that a Lascannon for example would quickly degrade and be 'repaired' in such a way as to make it effectively a Zapp Gun.
MrMortull I did read in one of the 40k books the orks had managed to salvage a Baneblade from the field and were "corrupting it's machine-spirit" until a delegation of Space Marines persuaded them that was a bad idea,but I thought that might have been a once-off thing.
+Rellana1 Actually yes. The majority of Ork psychics manifests itself as a form of "wish granting." For example, a rocket painted yellow will create a bigger explosion simply because the majority of the Ork population believes it so.
+shenphilip1 And then there's always the most well-known nugget of Ork logic: "DA RED WUNZ GO FASTA!" Seriously, if an Ork believes something works, then it will work, laws of physics (and reality!) be damned.
that is the most hilarious discription of an ork weapon ive ever heard! 40k orks dont you ever change! also nice to know orks having heard of the duct tape and WD40 remedies
48:46 - 48:57... It cracks me open every damn time! Arch you are a beautiful human being, so please never stop making these videos! Thx for the fun man :D
Imperial Titans: "Burn the traitor hive to the ground." Tyranid Bio-titans: "We have weaponized our babies." Eldar Titans: "We basically made an Evangelion." Ork Titans: "Wu'unt it be funneh if we put a peenus on thuh giant death roboah?"
Arch, I was just going over my Codex Eldar for the past few hours, and I found that Wraithknights use shimmershields that protect both them AND the troops around them.
You see, this why mass artillery bombardment is the Eldar's worst enemy. Dodging is futile when every is boom. Ex: Basilisk artillery firing a volley into a eldar formation through the offending xenos titans. Or just Ork boiz rokkits spam blotting out the sun. You know.
really cool channel, when i first noticed it, i just clickt it away^^ cause the videos are so long later i randomly clickt on one of your videos, and found that they are not to long at all they are ingenius :D thank you for this big amount of work! sub
And we have another convert. Of course if you turn into a heretic I rain down the wrath of the Emperor I'm such a manner that even the citizens of vraks would fail to understand
so im reading the Horus Heresy books, and im reading the Thousand Sons book, and its Mindblowingly awsome how the Primarch Magnus the Red destroyed a orc titan with his psychic powers!!!! i mean, HOLY GODEMPEROR that i COOL!!!! Just to show how Powerful the Primarchs where
I think he did it when the Psi Titans were being tested, then again I read this stuff from all over the place so no idea if cannon or not anymore though I believe it still is, Psi Titans are awesome
Yeah Magnus the Red, before he went Chaos (But after his deal with a demon) he destroyed 1 of the 2 ancient Eldar titans, but the backlash after he did it knocked him out of the fight and his Thousand Sons had to take out the other one while protecting Magnus... Basicly infantry vs a titan.
John Doe Probably the same as other races, even though you nay think your protected Chaos will affect you in some way. The only military exceptions on this are the Grey Knights with their training, aegis wards and faith in the emperor. The other is the sisters of battle whom with their fanatical faith in the emperor pretty much shields them against corruption since in the fluff they have only had 1 sister fall to chaos and the Grey Knights currently have none.
+MrAwsomenoob You might be being facetious, but to my mind Liberty Prime would classify as a Scout-class Titan... that's if it wasn't either destroyed as an example of Silica Anima or technically considered an ultra-heavy combat robot rather than a Titan.
It's my dream for a Planetside 2 style game to come out in the Warhammer 40K universe and Titans of different kinds will show up occasionally. Be friggen amazing.
27:19 I didn't have time for the entire video right away, so after a bit of Tyranid (which I know better) was curious about the Eldar and decided to skip ahead. That's where I clicked. Brilliant. xD
Eldar Titans use an Infinity Circuit for command control, similar to the one used for Craftworlds. This allows the Titan crew to achieve the agility that such war machines are known for. This also accounts for their odd tendency to act as a single entity even outside the cockpit. This agility was crucial, because the effectiveness of the Holo-Field depended on how fast it could move. Since they couldn't fire their weapons at full speed, slowing down to fire their weapons opened a window of vulnerability. Stepping on a mine or stopping to bitch slap a Bloodthirster with a Power Fist is not advisable. Their arm laz0rz are typically used for Titan-killing, though they can mount D-Cannon for some AoE damage. Still, their only secondary weapons are the wing-mounted Missile Launchers. Imperial Titan command thrones are believed to retain imprints of the former Princeps' will and personalities, but not anywhere close to the Infinity Circuit of the Eldar Titans. Ork Titans aren't noted for their firepower; they're noted for being damage sponges that can absorb insane amounts of damage. Multiple Power Fields and thick armour spread out across a lot of hit locations made it annoying as fuck to kill. And unlike Eldar Titans, they came with a ridiculous amount of secondary weapons that made it a real beast against massed forces. Of all the Ork Titan weapons out there, the Super Lifta-Droppa and the Gaze of Mork were hilarious to use.
KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour is your answer. i believe tau is best among all if they can revolt against Ethereal castes and gain free will and democracy pretty much tau is the best option warhammer universe has for a good ending ( but we know that will never happen in warhammer universe)
The KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour is not a titan. It is incredibly powerful and posibly able to deal with smaller titans, but it is most likely not the final anwser. Especialy when we realise that the tau are pretty much the only species that (at least at this time) is able to have technological advancements. But i doubt that they ever will create their own titans. It doesn't fit their preferred battle tactics. They'd need some great changes or addtitions to their tactical repertoire to make titans a reasonable concept for them.
Ah the spore mine. It's like a well programmed linux/unix daemon in comparison to a Windows executable. It does it's single basic job and it does it exceedingly efficiently and stably well!
I know I'm gonna get shit for this but I keep seeing Zerg when you show off the Tyrinids. Yes, I know Blizzard was inspired ( perhaps too inspired) by Warhammer but MAN it hard to not unsee the similarities.
This reminded of that Warcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer game but that agreement was cancelled so Blizzard had to make their own world since the game was quite far in development.
The way the units look does have many similarities, but I think they are very different if you look at the lore. The most glaring difference is that everything in Blizzard's Starcraft universe is WAY smaller. So small that the story only centers on a few specific characters. But yeah the Zerg are pretty much the Tyrranids(sp) if they toned down the galactic conquest a bit.
Well if you want to see eldar Titan like mechs there is the Manga Five Star Stories with large mechs known as electric knights and one is in a complete gold color with a Titan killer Cannon called a buster rock sawed off Cannon yes it has starship class weaponry built into it.
Beautiful news. I'm glad that they postponed the release date as it allows them to iron out the bugs and the problems in order to release a completed product. Thanks Arch.
Daniel rogers I don’t know nerons can rebuild themselves same with elder using wraithbone on lords guards and knights space marines can just nuke taus planets from orbit and suppress with titans tyranid could just make a new adaptations kill them or just nuke the planet with spores etc.
I don't know if this is still cannon, but there was a record of an ork growing to be the size of a gargant, and another being 10 meters tall. That's almost the size of a small titan. Not to mention they had control of a gargant that could hold 6 mega gargants in the throne room.
About those Tyranid spore mines. They are pretty interesting if you ponder on how they would actually detonate themselves. Basically they as living creatures would probably have some kind of fear or anger reaction to alien organisms which would cause some kind of bio-chemical or hormonal reaction which instead of stimulating the organism would produce or inject large quantities of reactive substances into the spore mines "blood" stream and result in it exploding. Kinda like a porcupinefish but with a suicidal reaction.
I love how every race uses small crews and complex neural uplinks to control their vehicles as if it where there own body (throne mechanicum, amniotic tanks in imperial titans, psychic uplinks in eldar titans) whereas ork titans act like an 18th century steamship, the kaptain bellowing orders down the speakin’ tubes to his officers, who in turn order the hoards of grots and orks to keep the ramshackle machine going, glorious
Fun fact: if the tribe isn't very technologically advanced, they will actually build Gargants powered by steam.

I did read in one of the 40k books the orks had managed to salvage a Baneblade from the field and were "corrupting it's machine-spirit" until a delegation of Space Marines persuaded them that was a bad idea,but I thought that might have been a once-off thing.
Nope, I remember Orks having specialist 'Lootaz' mobs armed exclusively with weapons they took from their foes.
+Rellana1 Actually yes. The majority of Ork psychics manifests itself as a form of "wish granting." For example, a rocket painted yellow will create a bigger explosion simply because the majority of the Ork population believes it so.
+shenphilip1 And then there's always the most well-known nugget of Ork logic: "DA RED WUNZ GO FASTA!"
Seriously, if an Ork believes something works, then it will work, laws of physics (and reality!) be damned.
Your pronunciation of "SUPAH DETH GOON" made my day, good sir X)
You have no idea how much youve taught me and kept me sane during lockdown. Just started with warhammer. Thank you Arch
i love arch. i could listen to you forever
that is the most hilarious discription of an ork weapon ive ever heard!
40k orks dont you ever change!
also nice to know orks having heard of the duct tape and WD40 remedies
I think everything on the tyranid side causes horrors and pain induced screams
I think you confused them with Dark Eldar.
At least from what you said.
+Texas Red both. tyranids like burroring stuff DE are just sadists.
Da Gaze uv Mork is my new favorite thing about the Orks. Everything about it makes me so happy.
"a giant baby cannon that fires exploding babies mind you"
OH GOD HELP ME I'M CHOKING ON MY OWN LAUGHTER!
I think you meat to ask the EMPEROR to help you.
I've never heard someone speak with such sophistication and yet simultaneously sounding absolutely plastered
"As a massive fuck off lazer" HAHA
FINALLY! I was getting starved for 40k lore videos.
Wow Eldar Titans vs the AKD mirage knights from Five Star Stories would be a really interesting matchup.
48:46 - 48:57... It cracks me open every damn time! Arch you are a beautiful human being, so please never stop making these videos! Thx for the fun man :D
"it is technically a massive baby canon , that fires exploding babies"
Imperial Titans: "Burn the traitor hive to the ground."
Tyranid Bio-titans: "We have weaponized our babies."
Eldar Titans: "We basically made an Evangelion."
Ork Titans: "Wu'unt it be funneh if we put a peenus on thuh giant death roboah?"
orc logic is amazing..
Arch, I was just going over my Codex Eldar for the past few hours, and I found that Wraithknights use shimmershields that protect both them AND the troops around them.
+shenphilip1 Nope, shimmershields are used by Dire Avenger Exarchs. Wraithknights have scattershields.
ah... Although looking around the Codex Eldar, I don't see an option for that...
Which edition? Some things change here and there.
@@thegremlin5886 none of them, they only have scattershields and those only protect themselves. Which is pretty nice already.
i LOVE the orcz crude thinking! "dis dakka biggah den DAT dakka, so dis dakka be better!" and "it not die from dakka. it good." XD
great videos bro, one of the few channels worth subscribing too
What aboot necron titans/anti-titan equipment?
A standard Monolith is about the size of a scout Titan. A Doomsday Monolith is even larger, those are their Titans.
@@valtersplume3726 the also have the Seraptekh heavy-construct.
This video contains titanic levels of heresy, you should report to your nearest commissar for some bolter treatment.
SUPADETHGUN!.....one SUPADETHGUN!.. arch you are my hero! :D
12:40 Anyone else think that the cannon and spore mines are the exact same thing found in gears of war 1? Does anyone know which came first?
40k, by more than a decade
You see, this why mass artillery bombardment is the Eldar's worst enemy. Dodging is futile when every is boom. Ex: Basilisk artillery firing a volley into a eldar formation through the offending xenos titans. Or just Ork boiz rokkits spam blotting out the sun. You know.
really cool channel, when i first noticed it, i just clickt it away^^ cause the videos are so long
later i randomly clickt on one of your videos, and found that they are not to long at all they are ingenius :D
thank you for this big amount of work! sub
clicked*
And we have another convert.
Of course if you turn into a heretic I rain down the wrath of the Emperor I'm such a manner that even the citizens of vraks would fail to understand
Hierophanto Greeeenu!
Not all Races employ Titans or equivalent to titans-
Orks- Gargant
Tyrannids- Bio-Titan
Humans- Titans
Eldar- Aeldari Titans
Chaos- Chaos Titans
Necron- Abattoir, Aeonic Orb
Tau- *Salty tears*
so im reading the Horus Heresy books, and im reading the Thousand Sons book, and its Mindblowingly awsome how the Primarch Magnus the Red destroyed a orc titan with his psychic powers!!!! i mean, HOLY GODEMPEROR that i COOL!!!! Just to show how Powerful the Primarchs where
Monir Martinsen Bouker eldar titan right? (Old comment i know...)
I think Sanguinius ripped an eldar titan apart with his hands but go Magnus
It was an eldar titan :) wasn't there 2 though? Guarding a mountain pass or somthing I think dark eldar gate or we way entrance
I think he did it when the Psi Titans were being tested, then again I read this stuff from all over the place so no idea if cannon or not anymore though I believe it still is, Psi Titans are awesome
Yeah Magnus the Red, before he went Chaos (But after his deal with a demon) he destroyed 1 of the 2 ancient Eldar titans, but the backlash after he did it knocked him out of the fight and his Thousand Sons had to take out the other one while protecting Magnus... Basicly infantry vs a titan.
I've been listening to these lore videos while playing Dawn Of War
It's fantastic!
question has there ever been a chaos possessed Tyranid queen / dominatrix / hive , in the lore/fluff ?
I do not think so as far as I know though there have been cases of tyranids encountering chaos and being tainted by it.
...which makes no fucking sense whatsoever. How would the Hive Fleets travel through the Warp if they weren't immune to its taint?
John Doe The same the Imperium can without getting tainted, they must have some protection of their own
Castlerea 12
Which begs the question, "how can they be corrupted, ever?"
John Doe Probably the same as other races, even though you nay think your protected Chaos will affect you in some way. The only military exceptions on this are the Grey Knights with their training, aegis wards and faith in the emperor. The other is the sisters of battle whom with their fanatical faith in the emperor pretty much shields them against corruption since in the fluff they have only had 1 sister fall to chaos and the Grey Knights currently have none.
I love the Way that Arch speaks. It sounds so sophisticated
Come on Arch! i wanted to sleep...
The ork section was super funny. The orks ways of knowing if you're a friendly or not was a great ending.
So the Eldar are basically Jaeger pilots?
thanks for the great work arch!
I have a question. If it's called the gaze of mork wouldn't that make mork cunningly brutal
ok now I'm confused
what if their just one ork with a split personality?
You are overthinking it. They really are just mushrooms.
arch could you remake this????
I like this guy, it's like listening a full on documentary
so what class of titan is liberty prime? :D
+MrAwsomenoob You might be being facetious, but to my mind Liberty Prime would classify as a Scout-class Titan... that's if it wasn't either destroyed as an example of Silica Anima or technically considered an ultra-heavy combat robot rather than a Titan.
keep Fallout out of this please
Steven Tan why? it;s a fair comparison
+MrAwsomenoob "democracy is non negotiable"-liberty prime before setting off a nuke
+MrAwsomenoob
I believe the class would be "tiny".
It's my dream for a Planetside 2 style game to come out in the Warhammer 40K universe and Titans of different kinds will show up occasionally. Be friggen amazing.
Hey arch was wondering what you thought about all the "minor" factions revealed in a end turn video?
where!
i couldnt find the original video but warriorofsparta put a vid up showing a turn ending passing through all the factions
I believe if you look on the Total War Facebook page you can find the video.
Thanks again for the lore video. I often enjoy them while playing vermintide.
OOohhh i do love myself some lore videos
27:19
I didn't have time for the entire video right away, so after a bit of Tyranid (which I know better) was curious about the Eldar and decided to skip ahead. That's where I clicked. Brilliant. xD
Are you going to do harlequins soon or later for the Eldar;I hope so!
Informative and very well presented. Both through sheer information and language :D just great.
god damn Arch stop making super short videos to ged the UA-cammoniz
Eldar Titans use an Infinity Circuit for command control, similar to the one used for Craftworlds. This allows the Titan crew to achieve the agility that such war machines are known for. This also accounts for their odd tendency to act as a single entity even outside the cockpit.
This agility was crucial, because the effectiveness of the Holo-Field depended on how fast it could move. Since they couldn't fire their weapons at full speed, slowing down to fire their weapons opened a window of vulnerability. Stepping on a mine or stopping to bitch slap a Bloodthirster with a Power Fist is not advisable.
Their arm laz0rz are typically used for Titan-killing, though they can mount D-Cannon for some AoE damage. Still, their only secondary weapons are the wing-mounted Missile Launchers.
Imperial Titan command thrones are believed to retain imprints of the former Princeps' will and personalities, but not anywhere close to the Infinity Circuit of the Eldar Titans.
Ork Titans aren't noted for their firepower; they're noted for being damage sponges that can absorb insane amounts of damage. Multiple Power Fields and thick armour spread out across a lot of hit locations made it annoying as fuck to kill. And unlike Eldar Titans, they came with a ridiculous amount of secondary weapons that made it a real beast against massed forces. Of all the Ork Titan weapons out there, the Super Lifta-Droppa and the Gaze of Mork were hilarious to use.
Do Necron and Tau not have Titans?
Necrons have monoliths, which are basically their "titan size" troops
The Tau has Titans, but their Titans are smaller, with a lot of fire power and energy shields
Their titans are called 10 million crisis suits.
KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour is your answer. i believe tau is best among all if they can revolt against Ethereal castes and gain free will and democracy pretty much tau is the best option warhammer universe has for a good ending ( but we know that will never happen in warhammer universe)
The KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour is not a titan. It is incredibly powerful and posibly able to deal with smaller titans, but it is most likely not the final anwser. Especialy when we realise that the tau are pretty much the only species that (at least at this time) is able to have technological advancements. But i doubt that they ever will create their own titans. It doesn't fit their preferred battle tactics. They'd need some great changes or addtitions to their tactical repertoire to make titans a reasonable concept for them.
I love orks, the lore and flavor therein is ripe for the taking. It's like the GW version of Diskworld.
Ah the spore mine. It's like a well programmed linux/unix daemon in comparison to a Windows executable. It does it's single basic job and it does it exceedingly efficiently and stably well!
when was the ravener at 25:14 first introduced into war-hammer 40K?
The greenskins are hilarious creatures. Just. Hilarious.
How much dakka must an Ork Warboss carry? Your question does not even make sense as it can never be enough! Praise The God Machine!
I speculate that spore mines may self-sustain via a symbiotic photosynthesis process of some description.
Bio-titan is my new nickname for my junk.
so what do the necrons do against them?
Ever heard of Necron pylons or monolith phalanxes? The Necrons have more than enough firepower to deal with titans.
The activated monoliths basically are their titans :/
Oldcron Warriors (basic troops) could actually KILL Titans. Smaller ones at least...
Oi! Why are Orks AND Orcs always Cockney?
It just makes sense I think. Imagine a dwarf that DIDN'T have a northern accent. It just wouldn't be right!
George Bennett Right? XD but would a Chaos Dwarf still have accent or would it be like another realworld equivalent?
A Chaos dwarf would have a black country accent
F*** yeah! Space Cockneys!

love your rambling hahaha. reminds me of my mind on a daily basis. A basic theme with a lot of straying hahaha. keep it up 😆
I know I'm gonna get shit for this but I keep seeing Zerg when you show off the Tyrinids. Yes, I know Blizzard was inspired ( perhaps too inspired) by Warhammer but MAN it hard to not unsee the similarities.
This reminded of that Warcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer game but that agreement was cancelled so Blizzard had to make their own world since the game was quite far in development.
Zoidfreak Voidwalker Doesn't surprise me considering how many shovelware games they've let exist with their IP.
The way the units look does have many similarities, but I think they are very different if you look at the lore. The most glaring difference is that everything in Blizzard's Starcraft universe is WAY smaller. So small that the story only centers on a few specific characters.
But yeah the Zerg are pretty much the Tyrranids(sp) if they toned down the galactic conquest a bit.
i just consider them cousins of the main hivefleets
This video has over 5 years... And I am watching it!!!
Eldar shit on almost enything....... In real live thay would already captured the whole universum. Jup thay are OP
+living bio.virus if the eldar don't be a giant idiot and racist race , they can be a good big ears pals
if they weren't reduced to smallest race in the galaxy.
ALWAYS ANGRON true
I love your descriptions of orc combat mindsets. Cracks me.up
9:25 - 9:40 LMAO hahahaha
No Hydraphants? They are the Hierophant large cousin in 40,000 EPIC.
The lore about eldar titans changed me form 95% to 100% sure that there needs to be a 40k anime
FUCK! NO!
Doctor Kalkyl of the 501st you are correct fuck no anime is fucking garbage
Well if you want to see eldar Titan like mechs there is the Manga Five Star Stories with large mechs known as electric knights and one is in a complete gold color with a Titan killer Cannon called a buster rock sawed off Cannon yes it has starship class weaponry built into it.
ah it cant be worse than dawn of war 3
Beautiful news. I'm glad that they postponed the release date as it allows them to iron out the bugs and the problems in order to release a completed product. Thanks Arch.
If the tau make titans every other race is screwed because knowing tau that's all they will end up building
Daniel rogers I don’t know nerons can rebuild themselves same with elder using wraithbone on lords guards and knights space marines can just nuke taus planets from orbit and suppress with titans tyranid could just make a new adaptations kill them or just nuke the planet with spores etc.
As an Ork you can never have too much firepower.
I don't know if this is still cannon, but there was a record of an ork growing to be the size of a gargant, and another being 10 meters tall. That's almost the size of a small titan. Not to mention they had control of a gargant that could hold 6 mega gargants in the throne room.
Why does every alien in every scifi have to have a weakness that boils down to "shoot this one thing to win instantly"
About those Tyranid spore mines. They are pretty interesting if you ponder on how they would actually detonate themselves.
Basically they as living creatures would probably have some kind of fear or anger reaction to alien organisms which would cause some kind of bio-chemical or hormonal reaction which instead of stimulating the organism would produce or inject large quantities of reactive substances into the spore mines "blood" stream and result in it exploding.
Kinda like a porcupinefish but with a suicidal reaction.
Soon as was mentioned the norn queens capture my mind said I bet the ultra schmucks had a hand in it, and right I was.
So Ork Gargents have what could affectionately be referred to as the "Strap-on of Doom" or Boom take your pick...LOL
