what in the sam hells going on here, nobody told us they had specials going on!

A bit like a swarm of locusts wandering into a forest fire.

Lol, that would be stupid theory. The Hivemind already fought different Races from different Galaxies, it's not like they were surprised by the resistance it would be like the Hivemind is expecting different form of Resistance from new Races of new Galaxies. 😂

​@@deepdungeon8465 I actually like it. The Old Ones seem to have been limited to the Milky Way, and their war with the Necrontar is what caused everything to go down the drain. The Milky Way could easily be an extremely tough meal compared to other galaxies.

​@@Oh-five-six-ninenot just a tough meal, but its that one rotten nut in the pack that will make you fear every other one in the bag :D Also, if GW says "life" isnt even the first big filter, living like a locust outside of the milky way might be super feasible, and milky way is the only galaxy that passed the later filters while acquiring the trait "self-consciousness", with all the horrible shit we see now (Chaos etc) accompanying it, while outside of here it was more like a wide-savvanna-situation.

Except the Orks. They’re having a great time.

​@@fumarc4501 Necrons too, if you think about it.

​@@shamainebest4031necrons are incapable of having a good time thanks to the whole robot body thing

@@amiablereaper True, but they still enjoy the amusement and entertainment

The Necrons are crying themselves to sleep over the Biotransferenfence debacle only six days a Week. Compared to usual, they're doing great!

That was the noncanon ending for tyranids

@@Jacob-gv7it that wasn't the ending... that was their intro

@@Jacob-gv7it was literally the intro my friend not the non canon ending

That feels really stupid though. Like, there's a level of vast alien swarm that's big enough to kill everyone in a galaxy, there's a level that's so big that it has to keep moving between galaxies to feed after it kills everything, and then there's a level that's so so big that it would have to eat itself just to get anywhere near its destination.

@@RorikH "They're like locusts, they're moving from planet to planet... their whole civilization. After they've consumed every natural resource they move on. And we're next." Bonus points if you know where that comes from :P

I mean Horus assaulted Tera... one big Hive fleet, or maybe 1 plus smaller ones could likely take out Terra....

COME ON YOU ASTARTES! YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!

In order to kill the Nid, we must first understand the Nid.

I do my part

Strong enough to notice even. OPEN FIRE! (Volcano cannons begin to open up on the Tyranid Warren)

TTS told me bug spray was need, reading DOB taught me that only a boot will work. A big boot.

Yup, that 9th edition trailer that showed new Necron units units and the new model reveal of the Silent King... then GW did shit all with it except go back to focusing on Chaos. Wonder if 10th edition is the same, except this time there's *more* Chaos?

@@syrienangel4137 One can hope they're gonna take a break from chaos

@emprahsfinest7092 This is GW we're talking about. There's only two things in their minds, Chaos and (Ultra)Space Marines.

necrons are the best counter. they can still deploy their crazy tech if they find it neccesary

The Orks were winning the Octarius War till Ghaz decided he was bored again and left lol. So it's all up to Ghaz now

@@TheEmperorsLegion Sounds about right. "Bugs yesterday, bugs today, an' blimey, if it don't look like bugs again tomorrow. Sod dis, I wanna fight some hummiez."

It kinda makes sense, stopping Leviathan by defeating them at one planet doesn’t make sense.

It seems to be disproven. They don't act like a terrified fleeing horde, they're just nomming us with finesse.

@@aidansmith5093Understandable, but I do like the idea of a kind of “end of the world” faction that was chasing a comparatively smaller “end of the world” faction. And the absolute hell it would unleash.

Isn't that the Prethoryn Scourge?

Your biomass will please the hivemind

Ok so after Leviathan first attempted to attack Baal the blood Angel's homeworld, I'm pretty sure they got diverted like they could have been splintered into smaller ones. but I think the main fleet went somewhere.

@@mitchelljohnson559 thanks

Maybe that's where Vulcan got reincarnated. Can't eat planets if a talisman of the Seven Hammers annihilates them first.

Its not a theory, theories have evidence. Its fan fiction.

If it ever was a proper theory, Pharos debunked it.

To be fair, the Tyranids as a faction function far different compared to the others. War for the other factions would just be an experiment or test trial for the Tyranids. If they are encircling the galaxy and have consumed several other galaxies prior to this, they have every advantage to take their time to perfect themselves.

@@pillarmenn1936 yeah that's fair but like it would be nice if they got something to give them a little cred

@@pillarmenn1936 The thing is, they shouldn't have every advantage to take their time. They're made of meat, meat needs food, and the longer the swarm goes without a good meal the smaller it should get, as it should have to cannibalize itself to keep going. I honestly think that could be much cooler than a galaxy sized swarm flying through space: A few hive fleets arrive to a Galaxy, they win and grow, and eventually they consume everything and become so big they have to leave for another galaxy. By the time they reach that Galaxy, they've had to cannibalize themselves so much that they're only at 1% of the power they had beforehand, and then they start to grow and feed and once again become an unstoppable threat, but they're not just running on perpetual motion.

@@adblue8955 Hence the existence of 10th edition. Besides, they do have some victories. The doom of malan'tai is certainly a good one. A tyranid singlehandedly destroying an Aeldari Craftworld is one hell of a feat.

@@adblue8955 Did you forget about the Octarious sector and how *much* biomass and evolutionary traits the Tyranids gained from that battle alone? Might be equivalent of a threat to the War of the Beast

Well, the Hive Mind may end up being a player in the Great Game.

@@RorikH They do take up a massive presence in the warp
