I flinched every time! :)

Tyrant, Tyrannosaurus, Tyranid. Seems like a logical pronunciation tbh. But yeah, Jor instead of Yor did hurt my ears too.

Cor-don got me

His way of pronouncing many words in the lore is a constant source of discomfort to me, but other than that the content is so good that I keep coming back.

​@@AMegaByteYT Indeed. The planet in which the Tyranids are named after is also called Tyran, in lore pronounced Tie ran. So Tie ranids is technically the proper pronunciation, I suppose it all depends on where you are from as to how you pronounce it in English.

Lets all pray to the hive mind for this banquet we are about to receive!

"Several" is doing a lot of work in that sentence ;)

“Hey kryptmann, how’s it going?” “BILLIONS ARE DEAD!” “Ah, so average?” “Yeah, pretty much”

Tyranids: "As we kill you, we get bigger" Orks: "GOOD"

There's a fanfic from the Heresy Online forums, "The Shape of the Nightmare to Come" that posits (among many, many other things) that a protracted Ork/Tyranid war would lead to a hybrid form emerging that annihilates half the galaxy... It's all very silly, but that part of it always felt pretty plausible to me.

When the Tyranids start making their bioforms red to go quicker it's time to worry...

I feel the Ork's waagh energy serves a similar purpose to the hive mind.

The only thing that can be known for certain is they HATE Blood Angels.

​@@MrPooleishthats such a silly line by gw. So much fanboyism to pandering to space marines, and such a disrespect for the concept of the tyranids. And guess what?! Surprise surprise, it had to come from a ultrasimp! Bet they will never forgive or forget about that time in macragge. Salty bois.

@The Swarmlord it's not the first time GW has stripped a horror faction of their Unknowable Qualities either. The Necrons used to be completely silent with no personality, even amongst the Overlords. Just mechanical skeletons silently murdering entire populations at the beck-and-call of their Star Vampire gods.

@@MrPooleish Lore does kinda shift around a lot. Granted I do love the new necrons it's kinda what made me definitively choose them as my first army.

@@katelystt don't get me wrong, Necrons are much better with personalities. I just don't want my bugs to have sympathetic motivations, much less understandable ones.

That film could have been a 40k film. Right down to fascist fans being confused by satire.

DEUX EX MACHINA! All the bloody time. I wear it as a badge of honor at this point. Tyranids are so outlandish superior that plot armor and nonsensical cheesy tv tropes are necessary to be pulled off to stop them.

@@MagralhoPT More like "Diabolus Ex Machina".

That is something I love as well! Its fascinating! This is also why I dont mind that we always lose the engagements in the lore... because if we win, there is no one left to tell the tale. And we move forwards all the time. So, most of the time we win. But its never shown.

The Tieranids are just the ultimate personification of galactic munchies

@@robcanisto8635 The Hive Mind is actually the fifth Chaos God!

"A Broken what?" "Broken Arrow. It's a Class 4 Strategic Theatre Emergency. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon." "I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it."

I enjoy it, mainly because I read the early horus heresy novels where he fought Sanguinius. “If you truly do hail from the realm men once called Hell, then when you return there; tell them it was _Sanguinius_ who threw you back!”

At least he has a plan.

Yeah, I remember first reading about him in a bit of fiction in White Dwarf way, waaaaay back when they started to flesh out the Tyranids. Both the story and him made quite an impression. Cool character.

I dont know if you are new to 40k, but dont take it wrong. Most people have little to no idea about nids, yet they act like nids are "oh them bugs... get a bigger spray can!" (Dismissive) when in reality nids are by far the biggest threat the galaxy has ever seen. To the point that all the other threats combined pale in comparison. I can understand if new people have no idea, as they have yet to explore a lot of the 40k universe, and we all have to start somewhere. My issue is with long time fans that dismiss nids. Then, when provided with evidence and visualize it like you did in the video it hits them like a truck. And wait for another 15 days till the 4th tyranic war lore hits and people realize that the nids are not only comming from the east, from under the galactic plane but also *now* from the galactic west and from above the galactic plane! If it was bad before, now there is evidence that the whole galaxy is surrounded and nids come hard and thick from all directions. Let that sink in! Happy wargaming!

FIFTEEN SECONDS MORE LIKE

Needed but not enough. About damn time someone starts to make sense... cus all this people are like "lol just get a bigger bugspray can!" These people have no idea!

@@MagralhoPT Bring all those tasty Human sized snacks to the Hive, instead of making the hive go to them?

Thanks!

Can you make a video : Star wars the Yuuzhang Vong War

Hive Fleet Schmive Fleet.

Hive fleet Maga lol

There are millions of galaxies all populated with food for the tyranids, they will literally never run out of food.

no

Because said virus destroys their enemies too. The imperium blows up planets the Tyranids are still digesting where they can.

Its in the description

​@@ArbitorIanthank you found it.. Amazing content as always.. Really enjoyed your coverage of the nids

Codex Tyranids, 5th edition, p. 30, "The Ghorala Swarm".

The narwal is a thing. Its some exoctic tech. Basically a special bioform that acelerates to insane speeds but not very fast. And it creates a slipstream in its wake that the rest of the hive ships can ride behind. The issue is, it cant accelerate when its within a gravity well, so the closer they are to a destination planet/starsystem the closer to regular space travel speed they must move. Intergalactically and interstelar, they are fast! Interplanetary travel, not so much.

@@MagralhoPT I’d love to believe if you if this wasn’t potentially Hive Mind back propaganda 😉 Lol, kidding, Gorgon was badass

@@michaeldimare3786 all of the hive fleets are kinda cool. And to be fair... we had a hell of a intro into the setting 1st day in we look at the biggest guy in prison (the mighty ultramarines) and we wiped the floor so hard with the best of the best (their 1st company and papa smurf) that they are still salty to this day. This is why we are being toned down by GW all the time. Cus they cant have this level of badassery from anyone else besides space marines (and specially ultramarines) or the space marine players will cry and shout foul and rend their garments in public because how dare GW let anyone be as cool as space marines! Or let anyone but space marines win! Ehe

But think how great the tyranids could be if the swarmlord was really a girl with high heels.

Yep. And if you look at the maps, the galaxy is surrounded. And if you see the sacrifices that everyone has to endure just to stop a mere scouting force... And I laugh at people saying there is a chance if only (insert their own delusional idea) The tyranid menace its the end times of 40k. No matter what! The whole galaxy could band together, convert all the mass in entire sectors into weapons and ammo and its still not enough. The tyranids have multiple galaxy-level orders of magnitude above what the combined factions of the milky way represent. And they are united. Sycronized and of a single mind! Anyone who thinks anything in existance can beat that its delusional or a blind fanboy.

@@MagralhoPT its pretty much a race between chaos and the tyranids to see who gets to devour most of the galaxy first, since both have insane power levels the other factions can't match. Of course the irony is that both factions would then die out if they actually won because there'd be no food left to sustain them.. Though in the end the real winners are the orks, since they get to have the greatest scrap of all!

@@midorixiv what a shortsighted vision. Did the nids starved before arriving into the milky way? No! Why? Because theres more galaxies out there. Did they starve during the intergalact travel? No! Because they can go in hibernation/stasis to preserve resources. You only see the galaxy as eveeything that exists, and once that is gone, there is nothing else. As for nids... the galaxy are just some 3th serving on a buffet. And once we done with it, we will move along and find other buffet to engorge ourselves on. Thats how much "you" matter.

@@midorixiv nids cant match chaos? Let me introduce you to our first and cruddest iterarion against chaos- hive fleet kronos- and there is speculation that hive fleet tiamat is working on an efficient way to lock chaos into the warp and starve them after but then again, speculation. As for the orks, yeah! They will be very pleased to have the biggest scrap ever, before being ultimately wiped out so, at least they have to have fun!

They’ve said that about each hive fleet that’s appeared to date.

Of it has to be... gw has to sell miniatures. And we all know that within the hobby, people who are insecure and need to win all the time everytime or their mommy will not love them pick imperium! Because they are the good guys and they always win! And if you are a specially insecure snowflake that needs reassurance and pandering to, you love painting blue! Because blue is the absolute best color and the good color!

@@MagralhoPT The grand irony is that everything you just said is something a very insecure person would say. Small PP energy.

@@marcusweathers3070 Nah bro! just calling the hypocrisy. if I had small pp energy I'd be defending ultrasimps that cant take a L. I laugh in the face of that crap!

@@MagralhoPT Ultramarines sucked for half of 9th edition.

it's not the correct way to say it tho Tie-ranid is commonly accepted wrong. GW employees even all pronounce it the correct way. Its a weird hill to stand on lol

​@@michaeleerdmans3500I do have a hypotesis that its well planned light ragebating to drive engagement. Im mad to fall for it even when I see it but its just mild fun Last video was the same. Now I engrage with the comment section just out of spite

​@@michaeleerdmans3500 But isn't the World in which the Nids are named after called Tyran, pronounced Tie-ran in lore?

Yes, 100% definitely

​@@ArbitorIannooooooooooo

No its not! Dont let anyone tell you othetwise!

@@ArbitorIan thanks i haven't listened to any audiobooks, so as kids we just kinda mirrored "tyranny".

@@MagralhoPT oh!

That or they made some bad recaff deliveries for him.

Cool motivation, still murder.

It would be harder to justify a fire break if trees could scream though.

​@@MrPooleishin the words of ozimandias in the watchmen (great movie btw! Really recommend!) Kill millions [...] to save BILLIONS. Kriptman its the only one in the imperium with a vision of the true scale and horrors that the tyranids represent. On the other hand I would argue that if he trully see the real tyranid threat he knew it would be useless to shove them at the orks, but its the best he could do. And that backfired hard! Ehe

@@MagralhoPT I see it like old question of would you change the course of a train that was going to hit 1 person in order to save 5 others?
