The most POWERFUL xenos characters explored in this video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7eJnLqpycDQgHU.html

They unlocked megastructures and with their "Become the Crisis" ascension perk they now can build the aetherophasic engine.

“Catastrophic cranial rupture” sounds like the medical way of saying “his head fucking exploded”

The tyrannids saw the necrons awaking in masse and went "aww shit, gonna need some more guys"

Fun Fact: Slaves to Chaos Worshippers have overthrown their oppressors and made their way to the system in order to serve the "saviour race"

Interesting how Kryptman is still on the lose and somehow has resources to pull off massive actions against tyranids

A tyranid Version of the astronomicon

A node for the hive-mind itself. It's finally decided to turn up "in person" to see just wtf is going on in the soup bowl. It's spicier than expected.

As all bugs, they are also attracted to bright lights

I hope tiamet will get fleet specific rules at some point

Ah yes, the old "Tiamet Square Massacre"

Relevant excerpt from the 8th Edition Codex: Tyranids: A NIGHTMARE UNEARTHED Far out on the northern edge of the galaxy lies the Tiamet System. This unremarkable region is home to one of the Hive Mind’s most disturbing secrets, the truth of which is only now beginning to emerge… Named after the system in which it was first encountered, Hive Fleet Tiamet is a unique phenomenon: a Tyranid incursion fleet which has claimed a cluster of planets without entirely stripping them of biomass, and continues to guard its conquered territory with single-minded ferocity. Built to protect as much as devour, Tiamet’s hosts fight in dense clutches, grinding their way forward through hails of enemy fire, their diamond-hard exoskeletons forming a formidable living shield. First discovered by an ill-fated Imperial exploration fleet in early M35, the Tiamet System went largely undisturbed for the next few thousand years. It was only when a small force of Aeldari Rangers from Craftworld Iyanden happened upon the isolated system that a troubling secret was discovered. Upon nearing the largest planet in the sector - the jungle world of Ziaphoria - the Rangers discovered a continent-spanning organic construct, a conical super-structure formed of chitin and soft, encephalic flesh that thrummed with immense psychic energy. The Shadow in the Warp was horrifically strong here, and several Aeldari went into convulsions upon nearing the super-structure, their minds sent into shock by the sheer force of Hive Fleet Tiamet’s nullifying aura. What purpose this bizarre device serves is yet unknown, but for the Hive Mind to devote an entire fleet to its protection is a worrying portent. Ordo Xenos Inquisitors have theorised it may be a powerful beacon, guiding yet more Tyranid hive fleets into the galaxy. In recent years, sightings of questing Tiamet tendrils have become worryingly common, as the hive fleet seeks fresh yields of biomass with which to finish its creation. These hosts have proven extremely difficult to kill, shrugging off volumes of fire that should have seen them utterly obliterated.

Are they building A: A Tyranid super factory to spew out near endless amount of organisms with extreme speed B: An anti Psychic device to close the links between the warp and the materium C: Am extremely large shipyard in order to ensure easier space victories and larger initial assaults D: A beacon capable of communication with other larger Tyranid fleets from outside the galaxy. E: A really, really big Tyranid organism F: All of the above

The Nids truly saw the asrronomicon and imitated it, didn't they?

A becon for more nids. Na thats to easy. They ate enough orks and are converting a planet into a ship to fly at Terra.

theory time: 1- an amplifier of the hive minds range, therefore, no more "kill the link and the hive mind loses connection to the nids" 2- some sort of biological black phylon since tyranids cannot eat daemons

As scary as a beacon is, a Planet-sized Tyranid made from the congealed biomass of several planets that could eat entire worlds whole would be scary too.

3 years from now, when GW follows up on this, y'all gonna trip when the outer shell cracks open and yo mama's in there.

There’s also tyranids that have adapted to live within a planets ecosystem and continuously harvest life, but only enough to continue living it seems, they literally just became animals.

Pet theory: the Nids are carrying out a Zulu-esque "buffalo Horns" maneuvre Leviathan and its 10th Ed iterations are the Horns. Tiamat is setting up a forward operating base to call in the Chest/Belly.

Heres a theory Hive fleet Tiamet is connected with Hive Fleet Kronos. Kronos is a splinter fleet that specializes in fighting Chaos corruption and suppressing the influence of the Warp. With the opening of the Great Rift Kronos has become more and more active in its cleansing of Chaotic taint in the galaxy. If the construct Tiamet is building causes immense amounts of Psychic suppression than perhaps Tiamet is the defensive strategy of the Hivemind to Kronos' offensive tactics. The great construct could act similar to the Necron Pylons on Cadia and perhaps once complete would be used to close the Great Rift, so the feast can begin.

As long as the planet is meaningless to the necrons, the bugs are relatively safe. Should the sp00ky boys take notice, however, the nids are gonna need a new planet for the not-astronomicon.

They are growing their own brother moon

very excited for this 10th edition, hopefully the other xenos faction get some love, even though its unlikely. would like some novels too

I think its some kind of amplifier for their shadow in the warp, isolate every race in the galaxy then attack all at once.

The Tyranids are literally making the Overmind xD.

My theory is that it is a weapon to use against Chaos. Chaos threatens their food source, while providing no biomass itself. So Tyranids are adapting and producing a form of "pest control" on this planet. First was Kronos, now, using the intel gathered by Kronos, is Tiamat.

So the Tyranids are building their own Astronomicon.

Kryptman is just looking for a way to get his next hit of exterminatus

So I'm guessing "catastrophic cranial rupture" means that his head fucking exploded

Theres 2 options here 1 their building a big tyranid possibly giving the hive mind one body or 2 their creating a tyranid spawner

The space bugs is sick of getting their asses kicked and they’re calling their* gang for reinforcements

Psychic-Organic Engine so the Hive Mind can start eating souls and daemons.

Its probably something to close the Eye Of Terror

I got leviathan today it wasn’t even that packed in my Warhammer store thought it would be more chaotic but I hope everyone who wanted it got it and have fun playing their first games of tenth edition

We need some more Necron vs Tyranids action pretty soon

A warp energy harvester/focus to ascend the Hive-mind to Godhood....

Tyranid overmind coordinating all hivefleets simultaneously? Thatd probably be to op but a cool concept id say

Could be a massive rendezvous point for a bunch of Hive fleets to link up for a massive assault on Terra.

We need the orks to fight the Tyranids

I wonder how many hivefleets there really are. Considering each is catastrophic, imagine thousands of them pulling up.

Send the Carcharodons they are very good at whining out Tyrannids!

Oh no, they might be building either an Astronomicon of Pharos device like structure

I imagine its probably related to the shadow in the warp or some sort of giant psychic conductor. We shall see, tho.

Does anyone think that is super tyranid thingie will be getting important now during the events of Leviathan ?

"Catastrophic cranial eruption" - head a splode in fancy talk.

An all-out war against the nids with a galactic alliance?

"Catastrophic cranial rupture" is a nice way of saying his head exploded

I love how the Tyranid threat makes the most well-equipped, technologically advanced of the Imperium feel like a bunch of half-naked men trying to survive a dense forest.

It's just Tyranid movie night. The entire hive fleet is piled in there with popcorn and blankets watching movie after movie. The whole structure is their version of a pillow fort, which they're defending with as much zeal as any child would defend theirs.

They remind me so much of zergs, thats crazy, their small and medium warrior creatures are literally zerglings and hydralisk variations, and their flying ones look so much like the zergs ones, even the method of expansion it seems..

The endgame of 40K is when the Necrons finally stand up against the Tyranids

They're creating their own version of the Overmind

Finally, the tyranids are farming

I remember playing a game where the end game scene was you (The Tyranids) took over the planet and used it as a solar system base as they devoured the minerals and gases of other planets and did the same there. Using the energy of the sun to grow plant like organisims that also serve as a natural planatary defense. Eventually enough biomass is created natrually thanks to extreme photosynthesis/Radioactive Absorbtion ability you couldve chosen early in the game and BAM. Your a galatic super threat. I dont know if i imagined this game or if i should write fir Games Workshop on the Tyranids.

>not eating everything We have betrayed the noble goals of the nids

"The Great Devourer has taken yet another tainted step into the shadow of heresy and defilement. Within this system, they have constructed a foul mockery of The Emperor's gift to mankind. A seething beacon of un-light stretching even into the unfathomable reaches of the Immaterium itself, a point of perverse stability within the maelstrom of chaos. They have created the lighthouse which will beckon the great tide of our destruction. The Abominomican."

"So, did ya guys see how the metal boys did a death star and the humans had to sacrifice an entire chapter to get ride of it? Lets do that." - hive mind adressing its hive queens

The interactions between the hive and nurgle are some of my favorites.

“Catastrophic cranial rupture” I love that line

Catastrophic cranial rupture, what a nice way to say his head popped like a balloon 😂

Thats when you hit them with a dual stage siclonic torpedo and watch the problem go away.

Everything you need to know about Warhammer 40K lore in one video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btCYetGI3azIlnk.html

The Char...I mean the Tiamat System sound like a fun time.

What's terrifying is when something scray is somehow afraid of something else.

Build super structure, Instill Mass Fear, feed off of psychic energy. Now you have an attack platform or maybe to it into an experiment planet?

Kryptman the orchestrator of the Octarius War? Yes, you should listen to him. XD

Tyranids about to close the cicatrix maledictum by throwing that plant into the eye of terror.

The Tyranid Equivalent to the Astronomican

The love of Grandfather Nurgle will collapse the bugs and their existence

They BUILT their own Astronomicon!

I love that deathwatch started looking into to it couse money wasnt going

Kryptman is perhaps even scarier than the nids.

Its funny to imagine the necros could stop all there doing with a single tap of the finger on that superweapon of a realty warping map

Continent size? Thrumming psychic energy? Guiding others? The 'nids present "The BioEmperor of Tyranidkind."

I swear theirs a picture in the leviathan rule book that has a giant tyranid shrouded in darkness

Feels like something the silent king would be interested in.

Maybe a null sphere to hide behind and set up home from whatever the nids are fleeing.

So they're building their own version of the astronomicon.

What if it is their plan on destruction of the Emperor?!? If he dies - warp opens, but if he dies and there is this structure - it doesn't opens, it quite fits to their current task - destruction of holy Terra.

I'd assume that's how Leviathan knew where to attack

The Tyranids making their own Cadia, I guess. A stalwart of anti-warp on the frontier.

A reverse engineered astronomicon that also works as antipsyker galactic scale weaponry. Seems perfect for them.

What’s scarier than biomass-eaters? Biomass-eaters that are smart enough to make technology.

I wonder if Tiamat is behind that Tyranid Moon-esque super structure 🤔

The Turanids realize that the Astronomicon won't keep the Emperor alive forever, so they're making their own.

Space Marines: Use Teleport Homer Nids: "Huh. That's a neat little trick ya got there, fucko. Yoink"

Damnit Imeprium, hurry up and fling some rocks at 1% of light speed at it.

now we have to wait for other primarchs to join so far, guilliman and lionial remain mortarion, magnus, angron right now are at different war

I personally like to think that the tyranids aren’t just using it as a beacon, but they’re pooling biomass there and using the planet as an incubator for some kind of planet sized monstrosity

Kryptman is basically the crazed old Vet who you both do not want to associate with since you will likely die, and you want pointed at your enemy becauss he is certifiably bonkers

I smell a Tyranid brethren moon on the rise

It's a giant organic mind-control device, if ya'll didn't know. A literal Tyranid superweapon.

They are building a physical form, a planet science, for the overmind? That would be scary.

Tzentch: A planet filled with psychic powers? DONT MIND IF I DO!

Hans, get ze planetcracker💀 there's no problem it couldnt solve

And suddenly, I'm wondering what the Tyranid equivalent of a Gravemind looks like...

Sounds like time for a sacrificial fleet of cyclonic torpedo loaded battleships. If Abaddon can throw a black fortress into Cadia, the Imperium can too.

Nids taking a note out of the deadspace necromorph playbook

Perhaps it serves as a device to de-power the emperor of mankind?
