Күн бұрын

A 3D visualization of a Tyranid Invasion. Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/4bvtG0b and use the code "InvictaMay" to get 2,000 Gold and 50 Blackstone (Note: expires June 15 th 2024)
In this Warhammer 40k video we continue to bring to life a Tyranid Invasion. In part 1 we focused on the initial stages of infiltration and isolation of a target planet. This included a review of the Tyranid bioforms set to rain down upon a planet from the Rippers to the Gaunts and Warriors. Now we set the stage for their main assault.
In part 2 we begin with a review of the Imperial Guard army and its fortifications. We then cover the Tyranid assault upon its various fronts. This includes the deployment of monstrous units such as the Tyranid Carnifex.
Let us know what you think of this format and what documentaries in the Warhammer 40,000 universe you would like to see us cover next.

There's so much wrong with the depiction of the defenders... 1. the Imperial guard Corps you drew up is not a corps strength formation. It is in fact a division and a brigade attachment. for a corps you need about 4 brigades or at least two understrength divisions. preferably up to 4 full-strength divisions. 2. Where is the PDF and the Militia? The Corps should include at least one division sized formation of PDF and at least a brigade of militia to fill the trenches, with the guard, being the elite formation it is, being in a morale booster and fire brigade role. 3. Deploying division sized elements via trains shouldn't be too hard. 4. That base layout looks like the one constructing it WANTS it to be targeted. Spread them out more and make sure some of it is concealed. Otherwise you'd invite orbital bombardment, artillery strikes and air-to-ground as well as ground-to ground-missile bombardment on the position.

The one thing you quickly learn when fighting full spectrum campaigns against decent tyranid players is never let them make planetfall or even orbit, you must stop them out in the deep dark of space with the Imperial Navy or assorted secondary forces (Space Marines, Mechanicus, etc.). If you fail that, you're counting the future of inhabited planets in months at most.

@Neoth40k 21 күн бұрын

I always thought that. The Tyranids, despite being devastating and terrible when they manage to board ships, have many disadvantages in space battles. The lack of long-range weapons that are minimally accurate is just one of them, there is also the fact that, without the mother ship, all Tyranids collapse, and the cost of caloric maintenance of the ships must be astronomical, not that it would be much of a problem for the Tyranids if they manage to win the space battle and get to the ground, it is still a huge disadvantage against an enemy that knows how to play dirty

It when something like: They would start with mass anti infantry, so the nids would adapt thicker armor, then switch to battlesuits to piece that armor, then the nids would shed that armor and gain speed to catch the suits, then they tau would go back to mass anti infantry, making the nids vulnerable again. this makes little sense as the tyranid adaptation is additive and not trade off based and they have faced foes far more dangerous than the Tau, so them being countered by that is somewhat dumb.

I feel like it's really understated how often the first stages of an invasion already take over the world. Full scale invasion battles only happen if the city: - Survives the Genestealer uprising, which is basically 2/3rds of the civilian population that are all cooperating, planning, and arming for an uprising. Something that most planets would never survive. - Filtered out all envoronmental hazards; kept those spores out of the water, food, even the fucken air; otherwise ALL of the population would already be genestealers. Sd well as prevented the spores from sabatoging weapons, filteration machinery, transportation, etc. - Maintaining defencive lines during all this shit, that means entirilly purging the nids from your main infrastructure so you can still send troops to the front, ammo, uncontaminated food, water, medical aid that hopefully doesn't have the fucking nid virus implanted in it. Its like, you have the most secure, airtight, efficent fortress world? With multiple backups, filtration, and self-sufficiency and still have enough to fight? Congrats, thats just the minimum to survive the first fucking phase of the invasion, now you have to fight a bug that can explode your brain on command, or a charging Ultralisk looking thing that has a fucking Space Marine Gene Seed inside of it.

Would love to see a similar type of video detailing the gathering of an ork WAAAGH!!! And then the invasion of an imperial world by said WAAAGH!!!

I love the distraction carnifex line. Shows a knowledge of 40k tabletop as well as the current best build for the chimera (double heavy bolter), though double heavy flamers may be more helpful against the gaunts.

@gavinvick3592 19 күн бұрын

Fighting the Tyranids is horrifying but also a bit assuring because it’s an all or nothing battle. Sure, you can’t call for backup, but neither will the fleet. If you can kill them all, then essentially you win. But if you don’t win but kill and destroy enough biomass that it becomes a net negative for the fleet, you have severely weakened that fleet for the next unlucky planet, which may end up killing the fleet. I don’t think there has ever been an occurrence where two or more hive fleets attack a single planet

This is not a complaint, i love this the way that it, however, i would love to see the "lazer" to be more of an instant flash with the clasic crack noise, you know, the classic lasgun noise and sound.

The only victory the Imperium can claim fully where they didnt lose the planet or Exterminatus it, was Baal home of the Blood Angels. They managed to stop it just barely with the help of every descendent Chapter of the Blood Angels Legion. Devastation of Baal is a good read i highly recommend it. Its in the Lords of Blood omnibus

@cameronwixcey9692 19 күн бұрын

I always thought cod-40k would be good. Your a mordian having to hold the line against a waagh, swarm or cultists and cannot take a step back without the commissar shooting you.

@shawnreed343 15 күн бұрын

So I watched a guy set up a Tyranid vs Imperial battle in a TABS mod; Tyranids had the equivalent of a true 'Nid scout force size. One thing that happened, which wasn't mentioned here at all, is that the sheer number of downed 'Gaunts started piling on top of each other, making literal hills of bodies that provided cover for the masses of swarm behind them, and when it came to walls, they literally breached the walls with embankments of dead bodies piling higher than the walls. The Russes can blow chunks in these, but they just end up scattering smaller bits of chitinous matter rather than remove it from the field. At this point, so early in, not much of that would be happening yet, but you'd see snowdrift-like rises of bodies starting in the heaviest concentrated areas of no-man's land. After a half a day or so of fighting, you'd end up with literal lakes of blood in the low-lying areas, making traversal through them a lot harder. All that said, great video- Tyranids are supreme at being existentially terrifying. :)

I think the final battle in Avatar gives a good example of what would happen to the guards when facing the Tyranids, aircraft being swarmed and brought down and huge creatures immune to arms running over the men and armor while smaller creatures hunt the stragglers. Also the sentinel Swarm in Matrix is an apt depiction

One of my favorite short stories is of a lictor (assasin form) before an invasion even began infiltrated the commander of the planetary military's house, captured his son, then when his father heard his screams killed him in front of him and then fled.He went into a depressive stupor that crippled the planets defenses. edit: also I hope this story includes a genestaler betrayal

@sasha1mama 17 күн бұрын

Guard-issue lasrifles don't discharge like that. It's a single, momentary bolt analogous to a gunshot, not a held or persistent beam. Also, rigging the bridges to blow is a tactical mistake. Those crossings are valuable chokepoints where defensive fire can converge - the 'nids, like water, tend to favor the path of least resistance, and will naturally funnel to those points, deliberately disregarding their own disadvantage. All that matters to the hivefleet is the biomass it can get from a world, until the cost becomes too much - until that moment, they're all-in with bottomless confidence.

@AzzySunfire 8 күн бұрын

I noticed that too, the lasguns. I also noticed the train noise was incorrect. Those were single axle wagons, but the audio went "clack clack - clack clack" which is typical for wagons with 4 axles (2 per bogey). Super autistic nitpick tho.
