Hey Templin, how would you beat back the Tyranid Threat?

DON'T. FEED. THE. *SNAIL*

Always love your videos. Please keep it up. At some point please do videos on the Tiberium Wars.

Ah, a Krieg quote an excellent choice of 40k quotes

Templin Institute, how delicious for xenos are your multiversal explorers?? Asking for the hive mi... a friend. Asking for a friend.

To add to this, in the newer sections of the story, During the Indomitus Crusade, ANOTHER tendril has appeared on the opposite side of the galaxy. All sides are now at war with the Nids

They fucked up Space Smurfs, who had best plot armor in entire 40k history. Yes, they are threat.

Except the Necrons

HONOR TO KAPTIN BLACK EAD OF DA STAR KRUMPAS! HERO OF THE ULTRAMAR SECTOR!

@@Hitoshuratdn what do you mean?

Minus 3 minutes ad time but yes, good video for lunch break :)

35 minutes of templin even better!

More like 33, but who’s counting?

Inject it into my veins

How beautiful.

HERETIC!!!!!!!!!!

'Yes Inquisitor, it's this post right here.'

HERETIC! **BLAM!!**

Repent

Where the frack did you get that idea?

Beautiful indeed! Try Oculus Imperia for more :D

I was thinking that the first season shoul be centered around the 4th Tyrannic War (I.E what’s happening right now at the time of this post in the lore). Because what better way to sell the shear grim darkness of 40K than starting off with SEGMENTUM SOL UNDER SIEGE. We haven’t seen Terra in this great a danger since the War of the Beast, and there is even rumors of the Last Wall Protocol being activated to defend the throne world. It’s also a great way to introduce the various characters and factions. Such as the Solblades, imperial task forces lead my imperial hero’s of renown like Morvenn Vahl, Kayvaan Shrike, Belisarious Cawl, Arcadian Leontus, and Trajann Valoris. Not to mention the various Xenos faction (particularly the Necrons, Eldar, and Ork) are taking an expressed interest in the war. This all makes a good jumping into point because there isn’t too much of a need to have a deeper understanding of the lore. Just know that bugs are after Earth

To be fair, the Inquisition handled it about as well as we can hope for. If not for Kryptman and his relentless investigation the Imperium may never have been warned until it was too late. The entirety of Ultramar may well have been devoured without the vigilance of the Ordo Xenos. But on the whole, I couldn’t agree more about it being an ideal starting point into the franchise.

I'd love to see Chaplain Cassius as one of the viewpoint characters in such a show. He's faced Genestealers, sixty five years before, on Ghosar Quintus, when a mere handful of them succeeded in bringing down a prosperous Imperial mining world. He knows exactly how subtle and dangerous they can be, how even one of them is capable of tearing a fully-armoured Marine limb from limb in a matter of seconds. And thus time? Not only are there tens of thousand of them, but they brought air support.

Hmmm yes

​@jaxxchang-weinberg4684 Narrows the setting down way too quickly. The importance of Terra to the setting is not felt or known so the gravitas of the unrecognizable Earth being under threat would bare little weight. 40k works best with the older themes and big "center piece" people, locations, and events are barely rumors to 99.9%: The Imperium of Man is a decaying monolith spread too thin across a vast galaxy. Terra is a whispered holy land, home of your god. His Angles are spoken of only in legend and you have only seen them in frescos within cathedral walls. Recognizable names like Yarrick are from far flung worlds and may only be propaganda. All of humanity's greatest heroes are dead, damned, or lost. You toil as your father did, and his father before him, to feed the ever demanding tithe. Then the skies darken with horrors beyond your imagining. Win or lose, there is no saving the galaxy; just delaying the death. No matter your rank, status, or station of birth; no matter how courageous or cowardly your heart, no matter how hard you rage against the dying of the light: you are just another corpse in a trench while the cold distant stars continue to turn in the heavens.

Kiss ass

Scripted comment? 🤔

(Not really though)

> Shining beacon of light Uh oh UH OH

@@georgemangco2526 Uh oh, looks like we accidentally brought the Tyranids to us by shining a bright light they could see from SEVERAL GALAXIES AWAY. Whoopsie.

While I agree that the Necrons are a counter to the Tyranids for all the reason you lay out, I tend to think they’re not a ‘hard counter’. This may just be me arguing semantics and such but I always think that a hard counter would mean there’s no way the Tyranids could possibly win if they went to war with the Necrons, which personally I don’t think is the case. What the Necrons really do is reduce the Tyranids to the level of any other species. They make it so that the Tyranids lose resources on any battle, even if they win, which is the same cold calculation every other species needs to make. This can be contrasted with the usual MO of the Tyranids eating their own dead, and their enemy’s dead, to make a net gain from every battle they win. If the Tyranids lacked the sheer numbers that they do then this would indeed be a winning strategy for the Necrons, but the number of Tyranids appears to be unfathomably vast, even if we ignore the potential for them to have galaxies of reinforcements. Not to mention that the resources expended on destroying a tomb world (which would likely take whole tendrils), could be reclaimed through consumption of uninhabited feral worlds. It’s true that the Tyranids avoid Necrons when they can, and that one to one (or even a thousand to one) the Necrons should win, but I think this is like how Behemoth avoided attacking Tyran until it had built up enough power to face the Imperium. The Tyranids are going to go after the ‘easy’ and resource-rich prey of Man and Orcs etc. first, then deal with the Necrons. Not saying the Tyranids will win, just that it may not be as one-sided as it seems from just looking purely at how effective the Necrons should be.

Sure if the nids abandoned their strategic goals they could "win" against a Tomb. That's why I said in lore the Necrons hard counter the Nids. Yes Nids could force Necrons to abandon their Tombs but from their behavior in lore we know they don't take fights that result in a loss of biomass.

​@@TheCyanAngelthe nids also strip world's of ores and metals, they already adapted to fight and consume chaos entities, so I seriously doubt the Necrons will stay safe against the Nids for long I give it a year before we get a splinter fleet that can breakdown and consume necrodermis

​@@nicholasbrown668 They adapted strategies to fight chaos entities yes, but no they have NOT adapted in any way to CONSUME them.

@@TheRealRightPrice my guy the nids literally consume the raw warp powers of daemons now, they eat daemons for lunch

March Eh

Warcrimes produces amounts of war crimes. Especially against Germans during the First World War.

Look at their history during the world wars and you'll see why it's shocking that they're polite

@@hedonistic_goblin7390100s if not 1000s of wounded Germans who were bayoneted to death in aid stations: “Bruh”

@@hedonistic_goblin7390 I’m sure they are and I have the utmost respect for any military, it’s just a stupid American (myself) making a joke

Heretic! The Emperor will save you too in the end!

Zareph returning to fight the Tyranids could either help the Imperium or could turn into another Octarius War. Either way, it remains to be seen how the Imperium can benefit from it’s enemies fighting each other.

@@operationangel7940 Nah it'd never be another Octarius. The Necrons fighting the tyranids is a complete positive for the imperium. It weakens the necrons and even if the tyranids win, they don't gain anything because Necrons have no biomass to harvest. They're quite literally the perfect anti tyranid weapon which is why the hivemind avoids them like the plague. The only concern is the silent king awakening his people and dabbing on the tyranids too hard, since then the Imperium has a fully capable Necron empire as an opponent, but since he was already going to awaken his people anyway, it's not a huge problem

I believe that only an STC containing weapons from the dark age of technology/Golden age of mankind can save the imperium at this point.

I wonder, though, whether they might actually make mutually beneficial allies. The Hive Mind has to recognize that lacking all technology is a weakness in the end. Perhaps they could offer to try to help engineer a way for the Nekrons to return to the flesh. At the very least, they actually have no overlapping resource requirements so they could work together, with the Nekron getting to carry out their plans while the Tyrannids get to consume the biomass.

I wish, but the goddamn Horus Heresy is way too prevalent in WH40K in general, and from the initial logo alone it seems that is the direction that the show will go in

@@JurgenBlitz Well Cavil has said that Guliman and Yvraine are gonna be in it, so that seems unlikely.

First course.

Incorrect. He would say. Bring the ship of I Lord Admiral Cato Sicarius, the greatest admiral of the entire imperial navy into close range of the alien bio-ships so that I Cato Sicarius, the greatest ship master of the imperium can hit the foul xenos with thy most deadly and powerful blade.

@@Prophetofthe8thLegion Their fancy words go at the expense of the entire fleet. before they can finish a sentence they're overun

Here you go hive mind have a Snickers, your not you when your hungry

We are, that's the problem: they want more nuggies.

You First !!! 😂

Problem is that their stomach may as well be a black hole.

That's what the Imperial guard is for

where did this happen?

The truly scary thing is that Tyranid incursions into the galaxy have come from multiple different directions, even below, meaning that its entirely plausible that we're entirely surrounded, or even worse, that ours may be the only galaxy left, and everything else has been consumed/is tyranids.

​@@RoxyGotMoxy.😐

Necrons seem to be the perfect counter to the Tyranids. They're not organic. They aren't affected by the warp shadow, because they don't use the warp. They are highly mobile and can use portals to instantaneously move forces from across the galaxy to react to invasions. And probably most importantly: Necrons are immun to attrition warfare. You can't starve a tomb world. And Necrons can neither run out of ammunition nor warriors. All destroyed and damaged Necrons just teleport back to their tomb world for repairs and then march through the next portal to continue the fight.

The Last wave? those were just scouts.

Ha! No. Leviathan is merely the first wave.

@@Nickname-hier-einfuegen not only are the Necrons unusable as biomass since they're not fully organic, Necron weaponry in turn disintegrates biomass. So the Nids can't even recycle their own biomass to fight Necrons so all in all, it's a net loss for the space bugs.

Even the Silent King knows it’ll take a much bigger coalition of Empire, Xeno and even Chaos to ultimately defeat the Nids.

It even got chaos to sit up and go “oh shit”

By this point, an alliance between the Necron Infinite Empire and the Imperium of Man may be the last and only hope of standing against the Tyrannid advance. Humanity cannot win this war on its own.

​@@Vasilefs_Terranorumand I guess you could add the Eldar and Tau to the list, if they're still around depending on the era the lore is set in.

Yeah but lets not pretend like glassing a planet Isn't something inquistors do every day for every kind ifnsituation from heretics to defiance agaisnt gencoidal social practices Hell inquistors have literally ourified/liquidated entire planets over relgious extrmeism and petty egotism

The fall of Cadia is depicted there, it is very important in terms of lore

and yet.... it feels sorta right

@@TemplinInstitute indeed!

Imagine if Crip Man didn’t find out, Macragge would’ve fallen for sure

​@@andrewpan5014It should've fallen regardless. But Tyranids aren't allowed to devour a planet that people give a shut about. It would piss off the Imperium soyboys too much.

I'm sorry but let's not pretend like inquistors won't liquidate an entire planet Hudt because they feel like there are roo many heretics or that the societydoesn't meet the ever chabging standards of the imperium politica I woukd agree if the inquistirs inly did waht they did to stop the tyyannids but They literally employ mass genocide and ethnic cleansing on a daily basis for everytbing from superficial to religious theocratic reasons.

Wow okay nice try Typhus

One thing we learned recently is that Hive Fleet Tiamet have built and are heavily guarding a hugely psychically powerful, continent-sized organic superstructure that seems not entirely dissimilar to Black Spires or the Astronomicon. They may not need the beacon anymore. Everything so far was scouting parties securing a foothold.. if that structure really is a beacon, the *Real* Tyranid force could soon be coming, led by their OWN Astronomicon... Or if its a Black Spire, Tyranids might have found a way to harvest biomass from/stop incursion from daemons, (a thorn in their side as they can't normally obtain biomass from them so its always a net loss for the Tyranids to fight them.) Furthermore, another theory is that it will extend/make permanent the Shadow In The Warp, cutting off that entire sector. Imagine if they're doing that in multiple locations. Imagine trying to stop them then, when you can't warp, can't communicate, can't use psychic powers. Every world. Utterly alone. Until they're devoured..

Well said. The emperor protects!

That is possible

​​@@brillmongof a permanent alliance were possible, would it spell the end of an era? And the beginning of a new one?

Unless they retconned them yet again, aren't Cron Tomb Worlds invariably dead planets? So the Tyranids have no reason to go there anyway

@@EmperorPylades Solemnace has plenty of organic matter in Trazyn's exhibits, but definitely not enough to be worth waking the Necrons for. Since they have no organic matter, Tyranids can't replenish their losses by killing them, so waking them up would be a very bad idea.

Do you know the name of the music piece? I really liked it too

​@@karlsjunior395if I remember correctly the song is in the description of several of the Greater Terran Union videos I think its March to War?

Madness

@@TshepoNkadimeng5 Yes. It is madness to not give in to the obvious logic of surrender to the Necron.

Nah, the 10th edition of 40k just launched with the Leviathan box set, marking the start of the 3rd Tyrannic Wars, so just smart planning ahead on TI's part to take advantage of algorithm trends.

I'd recommend going though alot of the old stuff first before tackling the Heresy, reading in chronological order its a mistake. Better to pick up hints and clues about the paste before getting all the details. It makes the big moments much more impactful.

So if warp gods are supressed by shadow in the warp, then what aevantage does it bring to the emperor to be become one? He will be just supressed immediately as well.

The Emperor would sooner die than become the very thing he fought so hard to destroy. He will live again and will lead humanity to victory as a human, not a god.
