Realistically, how can the Imperium fight off the impending Tyranid armada?
>>741141480with guns
By the same logic everything in 40K works with.>They just can lol just turn off your brain bro
>>741141480>Tyranids heading straight into the ghoul stars Poor nids
>>741141480Canonically the Tyranids should not stand a chance when the lore has weapons that can>destroy planets>sunder reality>fire black holesEven if you don't take the Imperium of Man seriously, the Dark/Eldar and Necrons have weapons that can take out planets and stars reliably - so why the fuck would a "hive fleet" - something smaller than those and easily within a planet-sized kill radius, pose a threat? Just fire a fucking black hole at them.
>>741141480By trading with them by sending biomass like plants, trees and stuff (biomass doesn’t have to be people). Then the Tyranids might think that this arrangement is preferable to war because of all the biomass that would be destroyed by fighting the Imperium.
>>741141480Just say fuck it and wake up all he necrons and let them deal with it since they dont have biomass to consume.
>>741141480More dakka, unironically. Also, a void dragon awakes on mars at the 11th hour when all looks lost or something.
>>741141480By being main characters. No, seriously.
>>741141480Create a memetic psychic virus that will slowly corrupt the hivemind of the entire tyranid armada. It shuts down their entire synapses so it can't even project its power and consciousness into the warp anymore.
>>741141480why is it a flat plane and not 3d lmao
>>741141869Because that is how space actually is on large scales. It is a galactic plane, it is local to the galaxy by nature it isn't the universal plane that you assume it to be.
>>741141859>make the tyranids gay Jewish tricks were the answer we're saved!
>>741141480>The Tau Empire
>>741141480By making correct use of genestealers.Once you understand that gene stealers are the tyranid scouts that mark planets for harvesting, you can form a strategy1) capture gene stealers2) use a combination of genetic technology and hypnosis to brainwash them3) use these subverted gene stealers to misdirect the hive fleets into subpotimal targets like NecronsEventually the hive mind will figure out what you're doing, but by then not only will they have wasted some of their fleets on pointless fights, but they will inevitably slow down because the introduction of these false signals put legitimate signals into question as well and now they have to double check all of their intel.
since necrons can obliterate starsystems at will, cant they just starve the nids out?
>>741141480the silent king is returning to wake the necrons after encountering the tyranid fleets when he tried to leave the galaxythe ruinous powers also wont sit around and watch and even bigger warp entity come along to eat them
>>741142869If each hivemind is "bigger" than the "gods" then doesn't it mean they've already lost? The hiveminds are more true "gods"?
are tyranids a trans allegory?
>>741143131Friend, you got some issues.
>>741143131They're grooming and forcing everyone to become non binary
>>741143020what do you mean "each" hivemind? theres a single warp entity controlling all of them together
>>741141480By submitting to Necrons
>>741141480where does Rogue Trader take place in this map?
>>741143131is your mom a trans allegory?
>>741143463Really? Then everyone is just fucked. Not only something with this much sheer power is going to be impossible to defeat in the warp but it will learn from multiple points simultaneously so no trickery or whatever will work long and never in a different place after it was revealed once.
>>741141480nigga whatever just pop out a big chaos rift where their fleets are who cares if it destroys half the galaxy
Just send in the space marines? Space marines have 10 hearts and 40 lungs. They have skin harder than ANY ARMOR (except space marine armor because it is super). They also fart neurotoxins (which they are immune to) and they spit acid which can melt anything (except super space marine armor). Also they get the memories of anyone they eat. Space marines will stop them ezpez
>>741141480Would they be able to beat the necrons considering they don't have biomass so they can't get their biomass but also necrons use gauss weapons that destroys matter at a atomic level so they also can't replenish their numbers using their own biomass from fallen tyranids?
>>741141480Nerve gas
Let's all go live in the Warp to avoid them.A talking bird told me we would be safe.
>>741143593yea the entire galaxy is kind of fuckedbut between the necrons, warp gods, orks, and whatever bullshit dark age of technology stc the emperium pulls out of it's assthings will probably work out so that the company can keep selling products
>>741141679because there are a lot of them on the way to everywhere and the imperium is bad at following maps since the warp got warpy even if they could be everywhere with the limited number of incredibly rare lost tech weapons they have.the eldar can do that stuff but they only do so very rarely and presumably for very special secret reasons, since their shit was already pushed in and they're so few in number. recorded instances of them occasionally doing major shit seems to involve multiple hiveworlds working together so that's also not logistically likely on any kind of scale.dark eldar do that stuff but they do it for fun/sex-food. they're a small splinter of the eldar despite keeping some of the coolest shit so we don't know if they really have a lot of resources for it of they just do it because they have to, and since they're just kinda hanging on as they circle the drain they (a) wouldn't help realspace prudes anyway and (b) are more inclined to enjoy the access the chaos gives them to pinchable nipplesnecron policy is to sleep through major shit and wake up when everyone else is dead. they just happened to start waking up right before shit is about to get worse on accident. but yeah they might do it (which wouldn't be a good outcome either because they'd probably do it with a "kill everyone" machine) or they might just hit the snooze button.
>>741143131commie allegory
>>741141654What happens there?? Its all the way on the edge
>>741144091Initially they just ignored each other but some of the necron lords are aiming to get their flesh back at some point and they're eventually gonna need biomass for clone vats so they jumped inAnd the hive mind responded by marking them as an extreme threat to continued tyranid existance so there are now specialist bioforms made basically as even more disposable bioweapons because they know they aren't getting as much biomass back as they put in when fighting necrons
>>741141480They can't That's why the Silent King is not focused on the Imperium, he's fighting a secret war against the Tyranids because he realizes how much of a threat they are
>>741144332it's just the space bermuda trianglealso apparently some scary redacted shit happened there but it was redactedit's mainly a no-go zone for humans for reasons that don't apply to tyranids, as far as we know there's nothing really there that isn't basically everywhere else at this point (e.g. the redacted thing just sounds like probably some early bird necrons or equivalent)
>>741144091Tyranids have stupid levels of biomassa. Like, bigger than the galaxy levels. I'm sure that unless the necrons can obliterate an entire galaxy they're getting squished by sheer numbers
>>741144872Necrons have time machines thoughNumbers ain't shit when you have infinity attempts
>>741144872They can literally do that with the Celestial Orrery if they need to. Just turn every star into the galaxy into a supernova.
the ctan still exist as welltheres one on mars and the necrons have the others locked upthose can be used for something no doubt
>>741145387Those are shards. However the Outsider is intact and just outside the milky way. Some say he's the one that made the Tyrannids.
>>741144989>>741145023Okay but how is nuking the galaxy a Win? There's no proof all nids would go down with everyone, the hive will likely treat it as a spicy candy and move to the next galaxy
>>741144872The 'crons can kill gods. If they get their shit together they could repulse the nids to the point that they stop coming since they'd be losing more biomass than they'd gain by eating the entire galaxy.
>>741145602Necrons can just blow it all up and just zap to a different galaxy since they can travel faster than a exploding supernova. Nids will be caught in it because they are slow which is why they haven't taken over the universe yet. But of course it won't ever happen because then Games Workshop won't be able to shill most of their toys anymore so at most they will keep it to minor skirmishes.
>>741141679where are you supposed to live if you planetcrack all your problems away? the deldar could probably get away it but I assume the webway still subsists on resources only present in the actual galaxy
Imperium should just pump half of their stock into the Mechanicus who mostly fields robots and controlled AITyranids will then flock to Ork infested planets and ignore human ones
>>741141480Aren't the 'nids encroaching into deep Imperium territory at the moment?
>>741148413The imperium threw the nids at the Orks and both the Orks and the nids got megaboosted from it.
>>741148651Imperium already beat 7 Krorks leading a massive WAAAGH so it doesn't matter if Orks get megaboosted from fighting Tyranids
imperium lost
>>741141480Writing answer: Throw other factions that hard counter them like necrons, chaos, and orks keeping the forever stalemate to write infinite books and sell infinite model kitsTheoretical answer: Turn off the astronomican so tyranids stop being attracted to the galaxy if they ever wipe out or become a greater threat than all the other factions
>>741143785>Bane's LandingI thought he crashed
>>741148651how do orks get boosted from nids
>it's some random loyalist iron warrior's fault that humanity is doomed
>>741141480Its simple, the tyranids are the designated jobbers of WH40k so they can never win.
>>741141480wait until they're powerful and overdone enough they become the next generation of writers punching bag
>>741144227>kill one tyranid and over 9000 of them take its place
>>741141480Just suck them all up to Warp as Emperor opens Eye of Terror 2
>>741141480Chadcrons already deal with the actual fleets. If you can't deal with the scout elements, can you really call yourself a space empire? An actual player on the galactic stage?
>>741141480Plotarmor will save them as usualOne ultramarine will take off his helmet and solo the entire swarm
>>741141480>Tyranid armadaThey don't worry me. I worry for what they are running away from.
>the chaos gods are unbeatable and can do anything!>space bugs show up>chaos gods cant do shit about em since the shadow in the warp shuts them up
With ghosts?
>>741152342Fightin intensifiesOrks get biggerNids evolve moreNeither can fully wipe out each other causing a feedback loop
>>741152368The Tyranids were already in the 40k galaxy and the Emperor even fought them during the Great Crusade.The alternative of Chaos using the Pharos device is much more grim compared to a bajillion Tyranidders swarming the 40k universe.
>>741141480exploit whatever they were running from
>>741141480Give me enough melta torpedoes and there won't be a single bug left.
Part of me hopes they resolve the Leviathan invasion plot by literally having the Hive Fleet show up to Holy Terra and unironically kill the Emperor.It would genuinely be better for the setting for the Imperium to straight up die. We could actually have cool new human factions.
>>741152519
>>741143131Well the nid cult part is very on point
>>741144821tl;dr the Ghoul Stars are beyond the light of the Astronomican (space lighthouse) which makes travel there by humans incredibly dangerous and difficult.They're also chock full of C'thulu-tier dead alien civilizations. Some cold traders (criminals that sell alien gadgets) get their hands on some rings from the Ghoul Stars. Once you put one of those rings on, you are cured of all ailments, and aging seems to reverse.Then you start craving human blood, then flesh, and before you know it, you can no longer take the ring off and you turn into a tentacle monster.
>>741141480something something forbidden archeotech something something Humans pulled out some ancient bullshit that pushed back the necrons
>>741143463>Teleport to entity>Punch it in the face>all tyranids lose control without signalsThen it's just a cleanup job
>>741142869are there chaos cultists or marines against nids stories?
>>741142869You know one problem I had with the setting is that it seemed strange that the Eldar didn't just leave, seemed like they could just pick a direction where the Tyranids and Chaos aren't and go. If the galaxy is blockaded by nids who want to make sure nothing escapes then that makes sense.>>741143490It's to the northwest of Terra, between the halo stars and the Eye of Terror.
>>741152702Square-cube law makes them incapable of moving eventually. They will just sit staring angrily at each other.
>>741141480the Tyranids have ate thousands of galaxies per the newer editions and the Imperium is already getting owned by the relatively small fleets they've fought so far, when the the full hive fleets emerge, it'll be the end times for everyone, not just the Imperium
>>741141480they could create a weapon that kills everything with a nervous system in the galaxy, that way the tyranids run out of food and starve to death
>>741154240Wasn't there one cratfworld that tried to leave the galaxy?
>>741141480I thought that the Tyranids themselves are running away from some superior power?
>>741154851It's a cool theory but it's fan fiction, the 'nids have literally surrounded the galaxy and the lore suggests they've ate everything else in the universe, which is why the silent king is freaking out and pulling out all stops to deal with them.
>>741155236if they have 99.99999% of the universe worth of mas absorbed, it's already over lmao
>>741155236>and the lore suggests they've ate everything else in the universeIn that case there would have been no starlight anymore. Not because Nids would've been obscuring it but because they'd build Dyson sphere-likes to farm stars via photosynthesis.
>>741141480Plot armor because the autistic screeching of a million insufferable chuds is too much for the community manager to handle
>>741147220o'neill cylinders, also every imperial system should have a dyson sphere. Just trillions of o'neill cylinders and infinite energy
Gentlemen, I....have a plan.
>>741141480Exterminatus
>>741141480it is impeding doom, but:- Tyranids don't have FTL, so they are travelling very slowly. Galaxy is huge, it will take years to hive fleets to arrive. They have some tricks (space corridors etc) but it needs a ship arriving at given sector in blow light speed.- Tyranids can't do chaos or warp. With exception of Genestelears, they avoid it all the time. They even close rifts go protect planets that they want to devour. - some toxins are too strong for them to adopt to it - for example, Tau are somehow successful on defending themselves after asking Duthraki help (toxins)
>>741142298They tried that once, and send hive fleet in orcs direction. Ai summary:The Tyranids and Orks fought a massive, sector-spanning conflict known as the **Octarius War**, which began when the Imperium of Man intentionally lured Hive Fleet Leviathan into the Ork Empire of Octarius to get both xenos races to destroy each other. Instead of a mutual wipeout, the war turned into a catastrophic arms race where the Orks grew larger and stronger from constant fighting, while the Tyranids continuously adapted and feasted on an endless supply of green meat.Ultimately, the Tyranids won the main campaign by slaying the Ork Overfiend and absorbing the massive amounts of biomass from the sector. The consequence is a nightmare scenario for the galaxy: a hyper-evolved, unfathomably massive Tyranid swarm has emerged victorious and is now spilling out into the wider universe, while the surviving, battle-hardened Orks have scattered across neighboring systems to launch devastating new Waaaghs!
The real question should be; what kind of massive asspull will they pull off to keep the status quo?
>>741144821>>741144332It's literally just the flayed ones' hideoutThey've done stuff with the flayed ones in recent years giving them more supernatural shit and differentiating them from destroyers, they have the ability to use some magic crap to just warp to wherever now and it's suggested that it's because they're all imbued with shards of a dead C'tan
>>741142768They can, and Tyranids are not interested in Necrons at all. But Necrons want to use humans/other races to do experiments on getting their bodies back, and Tyranids eating all the biomass would be the trouble for them.However Nectons have internal wars and are extremely slow to do something as to plan any strategy will take them centuries.
>>741158284New human faction from daot (cryosleep), wakes up and use some bullshit to wipe an entire hivefleet
>>741142869Papa Nurgle fucks Tyranids up. They can't absord chaos spawns, gain no biomass from it and Nurgle poisons are to fucked up to adopt to them.
>>741144091It becomes a war of attrition which the necrons can't win, recent lore makes it so that they're not as immortal as they used to be. They still come back but now there's a tiny fraction of a chance that each time one dies it's for good, and because there aren't any new ones getting made their numbers are slowly dwindling. Meanwhile the tyranids are already a huge threat and it turns out that the hive fleets that have shown up so far are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the total number.
>>741154240they kinda do that - there is a section of Eldars that just gave up on technology, become amish-like and this protected their souls from Slaanesh too.
>>741141480the hive mind is actually embodied in the norn emperor at the heart of the biggest hive fleet so they have to turn jupiter into a giant black hole bomb to kill it which will kill all of the tyranids
>>741158570They can make fake AI crons.
>>741141480non canon mapnormoids greatly exagerate the dangerous but far for omnipotent tyranid menace
>>741154646Imperium supposedly also had some nano-tech they used to completely annihilate everything during Dark Ages. They also had some perfect anti-tyranid weapon, but got it lost somewhere in bureaucracy.
The current lead writer at GW said that 40K is a story about humanity vs Chaos and will always be that. Xenos stories are considered secondary.Chaos is the setting's greatest threat.So the Tyranids don't actually matter.
>>741158824Chaos tyranidNow what bitch
>>741141679>>741144227necrons literally have a machine that projects a hologram of the galaxy but if you fuck with the hologram the change happens in the real world so you can just poke at the holograms of the tyranids and they'd all just dieBut it's protected by some retarded enlightened monk type necrons who think they're caretakers of the galaxy and refuse to let anyone actually use it
>>741158536But there is a fleet of bugs that fights chaos, so, no, chaos cant do shit.
>>741148718The Beast were not even close to Krorks. And even then, they only won due to one of the primarch doing a suicide move.
>>741145529Some are stupid retards who just regurgitate shit they saw on a wiki written by another retardWhat the thing ACTUALLY said was just the tyranids clearly avoided the planet that the outsider is supposed to be sleeping on suggesting that they're afraid of him and that's ALL it suggests, where the fuck retards got "he made them" from that I can't even tell
>>741141679>planets>starsbreh
>>741152373>Its simple, the tyranids are the designated jobbers of WH40k so they can never win.It's hilarious because of all the faction leaders swarm lord alone has no dialogue and lore that says he comes back when he dies which means anyone and their mom can duel and kill him and he'll come back which is perfect for GW not wanting consequences ever
Why is there no good entry point to 40k? I'm not going to play the board game or read novels about bingbingwahoo, there are no movies or shows and the games are kinda crappy from what I heard aside from the first Dawn of War and the Creative Assembly games.
>>741159084>good entry point to 40kArmageddon, ~20 irl years of nothing
>>741141679you don't seem to comprehend the scope of the tyranids
>>741152768No, there were no Tyranids in Milky Way during Great Crusade and The God Emperor was not aware of them. Results of Great Crusade fighting caused Tyranids to be aware of biomass being present in Milky Way and resulted in them arriving 10k years later to consume it.
>>741154851Old theory that was clarified later to them just avoiding the Outsider.
>>741141480Simple. The writers will simply say>Trillions die and with space elf help they win
>>741158864It lets you destroy celestial bodies not individual creaturesIt also fucks up reality in some unspecified way if you use it too much. So it would probably be a suicide move at best.
>>741158284Necrons pull some necron tech bullshit out of their ass which walls off the milky way galaxy from the tyranids surrounding it so only the hive fleets already inside are relevantThen in 16th edition in 2046 there's a big event where Alpharius returns and opens a hole in the wall to let a new super evolved hive fleet in just to mix things up but then Leman Russ returns to close the hole at the end
>>741159084the first Dawn of War along Winter Assault and Dark Crusade is a perfectly fine starting point. Soulstorm sucks
>>741153974The Doom of Hesp is a horrific stalemate where Nurgle’s ultimate plagues clashed with the Tyranids' unstoppable evolution. The conflict began when Hive Fleet Lotan attempted to consume the jungle world of Hesp, which the Death Guard was currently using to cultivate warp-spawned daemonic diseases.Instead of a standard military victory, the battle quickly devolved into an apocalyptic biological arms race. The Tyranids deployed aggressive alien bioweapons while the Death Guard unleashed supernatural plagues, causing the toxins on both sides to cross-mutate into a hyper-poisonous super-slurry. This new toxic cocktail was so virulent that it dissolved everything on the planet's surface, liquefying both the Death Guard Space Marines and the Tyranid ground swarms into a bubbling soup of organic sludge.The climax of the battle occurred when a Tyranid hive ship descended from orbit and lowered its capillary feeding tubes to harvest the remaining organic slurry. The fluid was so fiercely toxic that the ship's feeding tubes melted instantly on contact, forcing the Hive Mind to blow its own infected vessel to pieces and abandon the planet forever.
>>741158864I'm not a huge 40k fan I just have some passing knowledge, why would the necron fight the tyranids? They're made of metal aren't they? So the tyranids aren't a threat to them.
By making it clear that the expenditure of effort/biomass is not worth the eventual rewards.
>>741154702this would have basically no effect on the tyranid
Realistically it is impossible. The “they eat upper 1km of planet” means they have so much mass from one planet they can create fleet bigger than solar fleet of imperium. Unless it is dark age giga tech of press button to erase solar system of mass, its over.
Don't the necrons have funny pylons that literally kill all organic life to the molecular level?Can't they just spam that?
>>741159403DoW1 is too fast and loose with everything. He'd be better off with DoW2 but it's a different kind of game.
How is the Space Bug invasion impacted by the massive chaos warp scar dividing the galaxy?
>>741159413They still fuck up their worlds and wreck their shit and more importantly a lot of necrons want to reverse bio transference and they need living beings to experiment on and make bodies. If the tyranids take all the biomass and fuck off they can't make bio bodies to go back into.
>>741159413Some necrons, including their main leader, want to steal the bodies of another race (probably humans) to get their souls back. And now they're panicking because the tyranids are eating everyone.
>>741159601Shadow in the warp means they're not affected by it at all while having super psyker powers at the same timeIf Magnus fought the nids they'd just make his head explode with their superior psychic powers
>>741159084I think Necromunda Hired Gun is a pretty good first-person depiction of a hive world and the general aesthetic and tone of the Imperium of Man. However, it is also a very janky FPS made by the same studio as EYE Divine Cybermancy.
>>741143131No, they are jews.
>>741159412>Nids fighting Death Guard accidentally re-invent old /b/Many such cases.
Is the Tyranid hivemind stronger than the Chaos Gods?
>>741159667Based.Its what he deserves
>>741142768Tyranids don't consume biomass to sustain life the way that normal organisms do, otherwise hive fleets would just starve to death in transit between galaxies. In space, they live via photosynthesis and just continuously recycle their collective biomass.They need to harvest biomass from planets to expand their hive fleet or replace losses but that only matters if you're capable of inflicting such massive losses that the hive fleet would NEED to feed to survive, at which point you probably don't need to be going scorched earth to stop them.This is part of the challenge with the nids. While technically organic, they operate like an intricate machine or a self-sufficient ecosystem rather than a living thing. They don't seek out and consume entire worlds because they need to for survival, they just do it because they can. And since they're guided by an intelligent consciousness and capable of deliberately tailoring and engineering new forms to meet emerging needs, there's no guarantee that any solution will work indefinitely.
YARRICK WILL BE REVEALED TO BE A LIVING SAINT.GORK AND MORK WILL RAPE THE CHAOS GODS.CAEDO WILL DESTROY ALL TRAITOR LEGIONS.GHAZKULL WILL TURN ALL ORKS INTO KRORKS AND RAPE THE TRYANNIDS OUT OF THE GALAXY.THE EMPEROR WILL BECOME THE DARK KING BUT THE DARK KING WILL JUST BE REAVEALED TO BE THE ABRAHAMIC GOD.PEACE WILL BE RESTOREDTRUST THE PLAN.
>>741159723It can't do what they can but can arguably do way more through brute force, and it can fuck them over while they can't touch it.So yes.
>>741159723Yesn't.It's stronger than the localized manifestation of the Chaos Gods that exists in the 40k Galaxy and Universe, but the Chaos Gods themselves are Multiversal entities that embody the fundamental aspects of creation, and the hivemind is not stronger than that.Basically, the Shadow in the Warp is stronger than the "Chaos Gods" but it is not stronger than the Chaos Gods.

>>741160007>nuke the Tyranids so hard they turn into anime Oh no it's Japan all over again
>>741158284they'll rip off that fanfic where orks and tyranids merge into a new faction that stalemates the tyranid
>>741159723 If chaos focused all its attention on the hivemind and didn't have a godlike being holding them back from manifesting, the tyranids and the rest of the universe would be boned. Chaos Wank is the only constant in 40k no matter how inconsistent it can get, they've already won.
>>741159667>>741159601they completely avoid it and go around it. Tyranids can't go into warp, it fucks them up. Hence they don't have warp travel.
>>741158284Necrons and Tau form an alliance and BTFO them. Crons get mecha models and Tau get, well, idk lol.
>>741154240They cant. No webway out there, no warping - insta death by slaanesh. They travel on sublight speed.
>>741159443Change galaxy to universe

>>741141480We hide in the Eye of Terror!
Being a nidbro is great because I don't care if they win or lose I just like my bugs eating people
>>741159723No, Chaos Gods are by far the most powerful thing in the setting. Even Dark King Emperor couldn't actually kill them, he'd just destroy all life in the Galaxy so they couldn't be consumed by them.
Is chaos in other galaxies? Seems weird beings that are fundamental would just be in the milky way.Also, just wait for the Silent King ass pull.
give up their bigotry and work together with other races
>>741141480the emprah of MANkind will one-shit the tyranids with his super powerful human powers of awesomeness because he's invincible and flawless and forbidden from losing

>>741160649he literally already lostdo you think he wanted to be in the cuck chair holding back an infinite number of tzeentch daemons from literally eating the planet?
>>741160349when tyranids devour a planet they noticeably reduce it's radius, biomass represent a tiny fraction of a percent of what they consume, they do not need it to survive
>>741160651Anon...
>>741160719somehow?!
>>741160282This. Ironically the Tyranid's biggest weakness is a sufficiently powerful psyker/warp entity, because their entire hive mind is a psionic network and individual Tyranid are little more than drones under remote control. They can't use Warp Travel because entering the warp would be suicide for them, and they had to create specialized Psionic forms from Eldar DNA to deal with tactical Psykers.Incidentally this also means that a lot of the Necron anti-warp tech would also fuck with Tyranid synapse.
if they kill enough of their own men the bugs will starve
I think necrons are cool.

>>741159196How can tyranids be where they are now if they can't move faster than light and weren't in the galaxy even as relatively recently as the great crusade?
>>741160191For me, it's leviathan neet
>>741145529>>741158974>>741159216The who?
necrons need to start waking up and nids will be gonethey're hard counter, gauss weapon disintegrate anything it hits into atoms, no matter how hard carapace were adapted into tyranid swarm, it'll become dust that could not be recycled back into biomassnecrons also want their mortality back, they will keep living things around for research and will not tolerate nids eating all lives in the galaxy
>>741161157They were cool when they were silent inscrutable, unstoppable killing machines kept in check only by the lethargy of their awakening and surreptitious Eldar efforts to keep them sealed.When they were revamped into goofy, chattering cartoon villains with legions of disposable shitbots they stopped being cool or interesting and just became Tomb Kings in space.
>>741160154>muh orks can do anything and are the bestest and andMarty stus.
>>741161464I think both are cool.
>>741161263nid ftl is some sort of gravity manipulation, it's significantly slower than most other forms of ftl in 40k
>>741161464Fuck off retard
>>741161464I don't mind the revamped necronsplayed gothic armada 2, necon campaign interaction was pretty niceamarkhun and zaa are pretty cool and relatable characters
>>741161708he's right you tasteless faggot
>>741161404>Nids start optimizing into dust sized death fogGood job
>>741161569>>741161263Tyranids do have faster-than-light travel, but they bypass the Warp entirely by using realspace gravity manipulation. A specialized, rare bio-ship called a Narvhal locks onto a distant star system's gravity and compresses the fabric of space-time ahead of it, allowing the Tyranids to "fall" across light-years at superluminal speeds. Because standard hive ships cannot generate these gravity tunnels on their own, the Narvhal acts like a cosmic tow-truck, dragging a whole cluster of ships along in its gravitic wake.However, this biological engine has a major limitation. The Narvhal’s gravity sensors are so delicate that they become completely blinded by the heavy, chaotic gravity fields found inside a solar system. As a result, the space-bending corridor snaps shut on the icy outer borders of a system, dumping the entire fleet back into normal space. From that point on, the ships must rely on slow, conventional sublight propulsion to crawl the rest of the way to the prey worlds, which is why onlookers often mistakenly believe they lack FTL travel entirely.
>>741161708Nucrons are lame.
>>741161464I kinda agree, but they were too much a spoof on Terminator. Technically they still are, in the form of Flayed Ones. But nids are now the 'mindless unstoppable mass' that your mom warned you about
>>741141480With my Rogue Trader OC. He solos everything easily.
>>741141679>destroy planetsAn inquisitor tried that but got declared a traitor for it after he burnt a bunch of imperial worlds to establish a sector quarantine.
>>741162584the only time he meet a single tyranid genestealer he couldn't do shit and run away like a bitch
>>741162584>abelard, set kibellah to blend
>>741141480I'm a huge fag for rivals, enemies etc setting aside their differences temporarily and banding together to face a common bigger existential threat but considering how racist everyone is in 40k i think they would rather just go extinct than do that, Would be cool to see though.
>>741162757Didn't Blood Angels and Necrons temporarily team up to kill nids one time
>>741162709Anon you dont have to flee, you can kill both genestealers instead
>>741162757Imperium enters temporary truces/alliances with eldars and tau all the time. then once the bigger thing is gone they go back to killing eachother
>>74116275740k is perhaps the least racist sci-fi setting ever.
>>741163162Last time I played they kept re-spawning or resurrecting? Can't remember. Running away like a little bitch was the only option.
>>741141480Beg Necrons for help
>>741161394The lone surviving full C'tan (not a shard)
>>741163505no chance - they couldn't even organise help protecting Cadia, and only single necron arrived
>>741141480They'll deploy the plotonium guard.
>>741144227>With the limited number of incredibly rare lost tech weapons they haveAnon havent you been following the lore? Plasma gun tech is now solved, commonplace and reliable. Gravity tech is now solved and so commonplace mainline armor uses it as their go-to method of propulsion instead of threads. Marine tech is now solved and improved upon, making Marines (bigger)(better)(easier to develop, no progenitor gland shit needed). Empire could fight Tyranids to standing still/pyrrhic victories earlier, now they can outfit every tenth guardsman with a Plasma gun (that's 100x more plasma guns fired at Tyranids), they have better and 100x more common Space Marines and grav tech is cracked so even titans can be crushed under their own weight with converted tractors (leman russes). Tyranids would get their ass kicked by current Empire if the lore followed any sense of established "logic".
>>741163685neatso he left the galaxy to rest and recharge? just like my chinese xianxia webnovels!
>>741162757The Tau and the Eldar would be easily convinced with common sense. Orkz you could try and convince them if they want to join in the biggest bestest meanest krumpin ever but they might just end up fighting all sides so. The Necrons would probably a more reliable temporary partner.
>>741164053they'll just say they "evolved" to not be as vulnerable to those threats
>>741141480Go full His Majesty's British Navy mode. All in space battles. No ground combat (unless it's a boarding attempt). If a Tyranid makes landfall, abandon the world and retreat until the next space battle.
>>741163337They have been killabke since day 1, i have never fled them. Clearly a skill issue
>>741159190Neither does the writers. At that size and mass they could park their ass like 0.1 lightyear away from their prey galaxy and let the gravity do its job for them. Also nids are fucking gay on biological sense.>bro you can't starve or attrition them they have 110% energy efficiency bro, every atom and particle is recaptured and reused and they actually gain energy from it instead of losing a little bit in every transaction, but they still need to eat new things despite violating laws of nature to a point they have no need or reason to do so! Now buy our plastic crack.
>>741162757The imperium are better allies to the alien races than the TAU are since they don't need to brainwash other races.
>>741162926Yes, and Khorne (Ka'Bandha) bailed them out like 2008 banks because otherwise his favorite toys would have been eaten by the ants.
>>741165258Yeah but unlike the Tau the Imperium doesn't want to make alliances. They just want to restore the glory of mankind and kill everything else. Any alliance would be temporary and only under pressure of a bigger threat.
Are the necrons some new thing in 40k or what? I have rudimentary knowledge at best but I think it was supposed to be a never-ending 4 way war between humans, tyranids, chaos, and orks.
Eat Terra and Empy, make way for splinter Imperium pretenders ala Diadochi.
>>741165861They have been a thing since forever but they were mostly neglected until like 8th edition so they've been gaining more in popularity as they have been getting more attention and lore by Games Workshop.
>>741141582>>741141480Giant ships. Giant weapons. Super weapons. Plot armor. Whatever whatever.
They can't. The only solution is for chaos to win so the Tyranids can't infest daemon worlds.
I really feel that GW wrote themselves into a corner with the nidsThere is simply no way any of 40K's factions can hold out a full on assault, what we're seeing right now is a literal scout fleet and that's already wrecking untold havoc on the galaxyLiterally how do you fucking counter this shit? Not even Big E reviving would solve it
>>741159678The tyranids have been kicked out of 109 galaxies but won’t say why
>>741152307A crash is technically a landing
>>741166223Nurgle super plague. KAOS WON AGAIN GAYZ xDDD!
>>741166223Full power necrons just delete them with any number superweapons or time travel
>>741165583>the Imperium doesn't want to make alliancesTO BE FAIR.They used to.
>>741166223Necrons have the emergancy break glass option of unleashing the c'tan on hive fleets, the tyranids are already scared shitless of them like how their taking a wide berth around the outsider c'tan's dyson sphere.
>>74116622340k as a setting is never meant to progress in any meaningful way. The Imperium will always be a decaying husk of an empire ruled by a corpse, the Tyranids will always be the tendrils of a far bigger force, Eldar will always be on the brink of being consumed by Slaanesh etc. The 13th Black Crusade and Guilman coming back was the biggest shakeup in decades, and its barely progressed in the almost 10 years since
>>741166223>I really feel that GW wrote themselves into a corner with the nidsYup.There is no good solution. Nids are grimderp core and there isn't a way to make them a reasonable threat without a complete reboot of the faction.
>>741165861they've been around since 1990 newfriend
>>741166702Also the biggest mistake in decades
>>741166395Why the fuck are Necrons so OP anyway? They killed the Old Ones that made most of the existing races like the Humans, Orkz and Eldar. Then they buckbroke the C'tan basically Godlike beings even the Nids avoid and then they just decided to take a nap for some reason.
>>741166971They were not a real faction back then. They were more like a neutral threat you put in your scenario that's opposed to all players.
>>741167058nuCrons are fucking lame and gay.
>>741167058>Why the fuck are Necrons so OP anyway?To counteract the fact that they are the only race that can't reproduce, meaning their numbers are finite and each loss is gone for good
>>741164838The whole thing is bullshit. They lose 90% of collected biomass in travel.
>>741165861No it was a 4 way war between humans, chaos humans, orkz and eldar. Tyranids were a meme faction just like Necrons
>>741167058Victory has defeated them
>>741167058They were an incredibly advanced civilisation even before they were taught by the gods of reality and became indefatiguable clarketech terminators
>>74114148040k is fucking stupid. We are supposed to belive that billions of planets are inhabited with trillions upon trillions of people. But somehow a battle between a few squads over a small tiny piece of land matters. Also if you have the technology to travel in space and have space weapons, you would not be fighting trench warfare. Fleet battles are just an afterthought and it always ruins the lore for me. If you can launch a pod to the planet, why can't you send a round or missile? How are enemies landing on your planet if you have a navy?
>>741167176Shut up grogfag go back to your tranny board
>>741167274I have no idea who that is, schizo.
>>741167247We have nukes and drones and yet there is still trench warfare. The presence of spaceships will change nothing.
>>741167247the gods corrupting reality think it's really funny
>>741141480by fucking them out of the gene pool that's how
>>741163162>>741163337You can easily kill all three or two?
>>741141480Easy. The 2nd primarch, Plottus Deviceus, aided by the newly awaked Mary’Suekh Dinasty, will win this great battle. I mean I read some stupid shit recently about some troop of 5 space marines soloing an entire tau army and assraping their city, damocles or something. If they can write that (worst 40k book so far and ive read about 40-50 of them) they will write something for the tyranid
>>741167058>and then they just decided to take a nap for some reason.Winning so much makes you tired
>>741144072Actually there are new uhh... SUPREMIS marines now that are even better and have like 20 hearts and 80 lungs and those old marines are actually shitty and no one wants them and every marine character gets a highly dangerous conversion surgery that they all survive.
>>741167058Well, imagine if you won everything in life + got immortality(unfeeling body that might make you crazy tho). What do you do?>Defeat my enemiesYou stomp them and/or enslave them. Eventually all of them will die thanks to the march of time>Make great thingsSure you can do alot with tech that's basically magic. But even that will get boring after 999999999th time.>Debate with your fellow necronsMajority is braindead. Rest are eccentric or just insane. By the way, that’s not going to change; you’ll keep talking to the same crons over and over again, having the same conversations, and getting into the same arguments, forever.
>>741167385we used some kind of bomb in 1945 where we have no proof but a mushroom cloud and have never used a "nuke" since. Drones and missiles are dominating warfare, not trenches or stupid guardsmen charges. A drone will always be cheaper than human life. Even if this was 40k.
>>741153279>Lord Commander, the approaching Tyranid swarm is only 59% of the size our initial intelligence reports suggested. What happened to all the others?
>>741168229You can just get a hobby.
>>741159190>>741158984>>741141480These are all fanart.
>>741167058>decided to take a nap for some reason.They were afraid of Peak Eldar so they took a sixty million year nap assuming the problem would sort itself out. It's incredibly dumb but it turns out they were right.
>>741168560I love the iron warriors
>>741141480Strategically speaking, by sending expeditionary fleets to find the hive mind, then conducting a campaign to destory it. We already know that killing a big bug causes a synaptic feedback that kills their unit cohesion, so killing the biggest bug should throw all the hive fleets into disarray.
>>741168619Eldar were still babies when they started napping. And they probably only started waking up because the tyranids are showing up. The coincidence of both of them starting showing up exactly at the same time is kind of slim.
>>741142869The Silent King is also losing his civil war against Imotekh, who doesn't give a shit about reversing biotransference
>>741169118>And they probably only started waking up because the tyranids are showing up.Nah, they already preordained waking up at this exact point in 40k. It's something the necrons had planned called the Great Awakening. Problem is some (few) of them woke up too early and some (most) of them have their alarm clocks just not work for one reason or another.
>>741169118Orikan predicted the Eldar fall.>But that happened earlier~10k years is just a margin of error for a 60million year prediction
>>741153827The entity lives in the Warp, and is around the same level as the Chaos Gods
>>741154719Yes, and they got fucked because Slaanesh still cursed them and they didn't have spirit stones to protect themselves. They resorted to infecting themselves with genestealers>>741154240Eldrads stated Chaos would follow them even outside the galaxy
>>741169419Hivemind at the same level as the Chaos Gods? Nah. An Aeldari wounded it.
>>741169118>And they probably only started waking up because the tyranids are showing up. The coincidence of both of them starting showing up exactly at the same time is kind of slimThe Tyranids started showing up when the Pharos Beacon blew up during the Heresay which was caused by the Imperium, and the Imperium got its major start (relatively) recently before then right after the Fall of the Eldar. So they're all somewhat connected
>>741169118it's literally from the codex
>>741144989Time machine isn't as rare you'd think, Chaos and Eldar have it too. It isn't a silver bullet
>>741148628They invaded Segmentus Pacificus but it hasn't been followed up on
>>741158003>Tyranids can't do chaos or warpTyrnanids have their own psychic stuff, and they've created a specialist fleet designed to counter Chaos, by enhancing the Shadow in the Warp
The Emperor is a cultivator, shackled with the weight of destiny.Once he leaves the throne and exits secluded meditation, he will shake the heavens.
>>741160479fuckin right, duder
>>741161464It's been 25 years, you need to get over it
>>741169118Some Necron were awake before then, Trazyns been around since before the Heresy
>>741168147You don't need to make up shit, they literally just have the zeroth proto primarch the angel of destruction locked in a box that they can just let out if they want
>>741167058The Necrontyr got smacked down by the Old Ones very hard, it was selling their souls to the C'tan that let them beat the Old Ones. Then they betrayed the C'tan by exploiting their arrogance
>>741169875Its like >>741169359 said. Some of them woke up too early. Infinite and Divine takes place over the span of 10k years or near it, which is when Trazyn says that the great awakening was supposed to happen.
>>741169950Also the Triarch Praetorians were awake the entire time too
>>741169359>>741169362I don't understand why the Eldar never hunted down the Necron tomb worlds and just destroyed them while they were sleeping since they hated them so much. They lost the first war against the Necrons fighting along side the Old Ones Which wiped out the Old Ones but the Necrons were momentarily vulnerable FOR 60 MILLION YEARS after they waged war against the C'tan and destroyed them.
>>741170014The Eldar did destroy a lot of tombworlds, but there were a lot of tombworlds and they apparently just got bored. Yes, it doesn't make sense, but that's the consequence of retcons.
>>741170014>Galaxy is a big place and the Infinite Empire is massive>They did destroy tomb worlds>Ehh fuck this shit time for my daily murderfuck dose
>>741170014It's explained in the Wild Rider novel.The Aeldari were tired of war, and they saw that their power was so supreme that not even the Necrons could threaten them, even if they returned.
>>741158984?
>>741170080>>741170115>>741170132And people say the Nucron lore isn't fucking shit.
>>741170014>Of all the galaxy's major powers, only the Eldar see the Necrons for the threat they truly are - and even they cannot be sure how many Tomb Worlds slumber in the darkness. After the War in Heaven, the Eldar took up a silent watch for any sign of Necron re-emergence, and set watch on worlds they suspected of nurturing hidden tombs. Many such worlds were seeded with life and adopted as homes by outcasts and Exodites, whose descendants would maintain the vigil. Where this were not possible, suspected Tomb Worlds were marked on a great crystal map so that their locations would not be lost. Yet as time passed, the Eldar became distracted by their own plights and thus forgot their sworn duty. By the time of the Fall - the terrible birth of Slaanesh - the slumbering Necrons had been all but forgotten. Only in the Black Library and amongst a few outspoken segments of Eldar society did the vigil continue.>Many of their tomb complexes had been destroyed, whether by natural disasters or the vengeful attention of the Aeldari, who had sought out Szarekhan worlds with particular venom.It doesn't make sense that 60 million years wasn't long enough to eventually get them all, but it is what it is
>>741159413The Necrons main goal is to go find a way to return to bodies of flesh, if the Tyrannids eat everything they would never be able to go back
nids are fucking stupid conceptuallyfleets the size of galaxies? wow cool shit bro everything will just lose to nids, the end. fucking gay shit
>>741153827How the fuck you want to punch this shit?
>>741170368don't forget they constantly evolve and take DNA traits of enemies they eat so they can become immune to them such an epic totally balanced enemy
>>741144803Except the Imperium has phosphex weaponry in the storage and that is the easy way to win against any biological entity in space. Tyranids can't adapt to a living flame that crawls towards matter.
>>741170324Some Necrons, not all Necrons want to reverse it, Imotekh most notably
>>741141480Realistically how can Ultramar fight off the impending invasion by the Tau?
>Just sleep>Your great enemy decides to commit suicide>WinIt's that easy. Don't Eldar have gods that could tard wrangle them to do their job?
>>741170223To be fair, some tomb world spottings could end up like Dead Man Walking, so that could be why they never managed to get rid of them all.
>>741170487coolgood luck aiming that thing at the quintillions upon quintillions of nids all invading at once >Tyranids can't adapt to a living flame that crawls towards matterdelusional, nids are so advanced they have a specialized anti chaos fleet, they aren't idiots far from it
>>741170368>>741170470cry about it

>>741168323Oh I see your retarded never mind
>>741170685Phosphex was so horrific and uncontrollable that it's the only weapon the Emperor and Imperium consider inhumane even for use against xenos or chaos.
>>741170726I mean before the fall
>>741141480There is a theory that the emporer is using the light of the astronomican to lure hive fleet leviathan because when they get to Terra the shadow of the warp will hold the tear to the immaterium shut long enough for his resurrection.
>>741170630>many got destroyed while asleep>many woke up insane, while others getting infected, with no way of truly stopping it >currently having an intense civil war between their two greatest leaders>admech is subjecting them to humiliation ritualsI don't know about win bro
>>741153318>Then you start craving human blood, then flesh, and before you know it, you can no longer take the ring off and you turn into a tentacle monsterso whats the downside?
>>741141480Realistically?Wait for the writers to retcon the numbers down.Who cares at this point.
>>741141654What if it just inspires them to evolve into some eldritch horror shit?
>>741170368nids are mostly a threat due to when they arrived, pre-fall eldar, necrons, probably even dark age humanity would be able to deal with them
>>741170324Not every necron wants to reverse biotransference. Some of them wanna just keep going as metal men, and you have others like Orikan who wants Necrons to go super saiyan instead.
>>741170779If tyranids can adapt to virus bombs I don't see why they can't adapt to phospex spam
>>741147220well that seems to present an obvious strategy, just defeat in detail with a superior force and if they ever converge en masse use the superweapons
>>741170487>can't adaptlol, lmao. Tyrannids have been written into a corner. They'll just make some super duper bone shielding that's stronger than steel and stuff because they are just that cool and adaptable broImagine having a setting and you give the absolutely most braindead boring faction the most overwhelming numbers and handwaving powers so nothing anyone does can ever do anything long termOrks just get eaten, humans just get eaten, chaos? they disrupt chaos (literally fucking why??), tau just get eaten, necron don't fucking care, and there's like 10 eldar left in the galaxy.if tyrannids had the same numbers and logistics but were much more easily defeatable when caught in direct extreme combat they would be far more interesting. or keep they dumb ass powers but give them a single large fleet (not galazy sized, like holy fucking shit)
>>741170428Gork and Mork would do it
>>741153279I mean, a dyslexic might call them Trannyids.
>>741160191The winning strategy.
>>741170428teleport one of those inside
why are there so many tyranidphobes in this thread?
>>741166702Also big E twitched on the throne from what I heard.
>>741171060>they disrupt chaos (literally fucking why??)Roughly the same reason that the Emperor is anathema to chaos. The hivemind issues orders to the rest of the nids psychically, and that psychic mass of all consuming hunger is basically a huge singular blob blotting out all the smaller specks aka psykers.
>>741171313I know the lore explanation, what I'm saying is that just making nids immune to chaos is the dumbest shit ever. How much OP shit can you stack onto a single faction like what
>>741171131orkz and necrons dont care about breeding though.
>>741171259nid players appeal to freaks and bug chasers and stuff, wow who could have predicted this??
>>741171426Eh they still have a weakness to them because they can't feed on demons
>>741171426>what I'm saying is that just making nids immune to chaosThey're not immune to chaos though, Their special snowflake guys are just highly resistant. Chaos shit like balefire still kills the rest of them dead.
>>741141480have they tried ddt?
>grimdark and hopeless setting is grimdark and hopeless WTF how could this be?
>>741171131This reminds me of that iold /tg/ fapfic about an inquisitor capturing and fucking the board's OC genestealer.https://files.catbox.moe/9gzx6e.jpg
>>741156852>"I will blow everything up and hope it works."
>>741171515>>741171530You conveniently forgot why would chaos ever combat tyranids? how would chaos deploy to them to fight? also nids have super duper epic psyker dudes of course because the most personalityless faction needs the strongest warp powers also
Chaos wins in the end
>>741171734>You conveniently forgot why would chaos ever combat tyranids?Pick one :>They're out raiding a planet then all of a sudden genestealers.>Nids dropped on a planet that's already fallen to chaos.You don't need any deep reason.
>>741170772You mean you're* retarded, retard. If you are going to insult my intelligence at least spell correctly.
>>741164090What models are these? Necromunda?
>>741171878some cultists on a random planet is nothing and neither is sone dumbass raid, and neither of those will do anything to tyrannidsi'm talking full blown chaos deployment with intent to kill hive fleet. will never happen. no incentive plus shadiw in the warp prevents it anywal lmaoaoao
>>741172016Wouldn't Khorne enjoy having mountains of cunts to slaughter?
I expect there will be some kind of psychic shattering in the hive mind where the nids end up becoming a bunch of different subsections, each with its own lesser 'warlord' hive mind, which the writers can then give a personality and create stories with.Expect a Kerrigan knockoff and similar types of characters following Starcraft and its attempt at creating a character driven hive mind faction.
>>741172016>and neither of those will do anything to tyrannidsWhat does that matter? All you asked was why would chaos ever combat nids. Shit, even Space Marine 2 has Chaos fighting nids.Stop moving the goalposts.
>>741172095that's stupid
>>741141480they can’t, the only factions that can counter the nids are orks and necroms
>>741166223Papa Nurgle can plague themTzeentch will fuck them with his chaos psykersDrukhari fuck them over with their toxinsOrks will just Waargh! them to infinity like the did already before getting bored and leavingEmpire has a lot of old-tech they could unleash and already had a tyranid destroying nano-weaponNecrons would just puff them, if they would ever organiseEldars can just hide in webwayTau will just get fuckedbut the biggest point is that you don't really need to defeat the fleet - you just need to create strong enough resistance that tyranids would decide it would be more biomass lost than gain by fighting, so they would just leave
>>741166362That is fucking PAPA NURGLE to you chud!He still loves you though.
>>741172206They already have proven they will body the orks.
>bio faction>explicitly have op virus bombs that are specifically used to wipe out entire planets >uuuhhh no bro you can't use them cuz they would adapt to them bro>how would a 100% bio faction be able to gather info on the virus that rips bio apart without being ripped apart in the process?>uuuhhh shut up stop talking!!uhu
>>741171734https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Octarius_War#Da_Maw
>>741172150When has something being stupid ever stopped Games Workshop?
>>741166971fuck, I miss old Necrons. They had much cooler models back then.
>>741172327When an even dumber idea was considered more profitable at a meeting.
>>741172281aren’t they fighting endlessly and basically creating turbo charged orc/nids branches that are going everywhere?
>>741172284>how would a 100% bio faction be able to gather info on the virus that rips bio apart without being ripped apart in the process?Unless the virus is also psychic in nature nids can just relay the information from a dying infected unit, no?I mean, do you really think that nids evolve new bioforms by talking to each other or some shit?
>>741172364>They had much cooler models back then.I disagree. The lore was better but the models were kind of goofy looking.
>>741172141I didn't move the goalpost, you just miss the point, pedantic little retard>>741172067Khorne couldn't give two shits about nids. He is fed by the emotion behind the acts, in a galaxy of only nids fighting other nids there would be no Khorne. Nids fight not out of hate or anger or desire, they are just dumb bio robots
>>741172284They already have adapted to virus bombs, sorry I don't write the lore
Tyranids are going to win. There is no way to write themselves out of this hole without looking like complete fools.
>>741172523>you just miss the pointYour point was just to bitch and moan that chaos can't beat nids. At no point did you ever bring up needing some dumbass deep reason for Chaos to want to get rid of nids.But if you really want one then here : Chaos feeds on emotions to empower them, with humans currently being the tastiest emotional morsels in the galaxy. If nids eat all the humans, Chaos fucking starves to death. That a good enough reason for you, retard?
>>741144072>Also they get the memories of anyone they eatthat is only Space Wolves, doh!
>>741172549Hell, Space Marine 2 explicitly kicks off after nids adapted to a virus bomb launched at them.
>>741172217>Orks will just Waargh! them to infinity like the did already before getting bored and leavingorkz got raped
>>741172486adapting to a virus requires some info on DNA structure or something. or you just hope that one of your dudes is randomly immune to the virus which is also dumb because the virus doesn't work that way, it doesn't infect you it just rips you apart
>>741172884>or you just hope that one of your dudes is randomly immune to the virus which is also dumb because the virus doesn't work that way, it doesn't infect you it just rips you apartall it takes is a single lowly nid form to show the tiniest bit of restraint to it and it's game over
>>741172838>that is only Space Wolves, doh!Anon, that's every space marine chapter with a functioning Omophagea. Hell, the organ's presence and what it does is what gave the Flesh Tearers their name.
>>741172730well then why doesn't chaos go full fucking ham on them, little retard? and you conveniently forgot the shadow of the warp bullshit eh, how would they deploy and counter the super super OC donut steel psyker bugs?you're such a fucking lowbrain that misses the entire point so hard while acting like a fag. nids are inherently fucking stupid, just like you
>>741172884>adapting to a virus requires some info on DNA structure or somethingAnd you think the tyrannids, who fuck off and create new bioforms all the damn time out of their plundered slurry of biomass, who are heralded by their genestealer cults, don't know how DNA works?
>>741173186the point is that it rips you apart before you have any change to investigatethey are made of biomass, how exactly are you going to research a biomass destroying virus in an environment that's fully biomass?
>>741173160>well then why doesn't chaos go full fucking ham on them, little retard?Because chaos is chaos and they're all as retarded as you. They like their precious "great game" too much that they're too busy stabbing each other in the back rather than working together.Just like Orks, Chaos could have won the great game of Warhammer 40k already if they decided to come out fighting as one united front, but they don't.
>>741172667Basically this. They greenlit some edgelord's OC faction without thinking two seconds about any of the long term consequences
>>741160635SoDepending on the edition of lore a bitChaos is intrinsically tied to the old ones and their deaths. The Old Ones' psychic, decaying corpses is more or less what formed the bedrock that "the warp" is built on, as opposed to just the Realm of Souls it was before. It's what changed the Realm of Souls from, your despair over your own death having a reaction that can manifest in some vague real world effects, like perhaps your illness worsens slightly, to that despair manifesting in a green shit man that tries to come out and makes you diarrhea your organs over the walls. No dead Old Ones, no Warp or Chaos. So if the Old Ones were constrained to a single galaxy, either by some containment issue or just their choice, then Chaos wouldn't extend outside of it either.
Literally nothing can stop the Necrons. They can and will buttfuck the Nids and everyone else in the galaxy.
>>741173291>the point is that it rips you apart before you have any change to investigateChange is nigh instantaneous to their collective though. Kill a synapse unit and everyone else down the chain immediately turns into an uncoordinated feral state. It doesn't take them a minute to go "hey I'm not part of the hivemind anymore" or anything like that.
>>741167385its not really (the same) warfare because of the regard for civilian casualties and sanctions.
>>741173364well oops guess chaos won't fight the nids after all. I accept your concession, bye bye little retardbrain, my assessment on the shittanids is fully correct, as I knew it was
>>741172667Necrons hard counter them in literally every way.
>>741172667The Tyranids are actually being drawn by The Outsider. After (Insert character here)'s passionate sacrifice, The Outsider realized there was life in the galaxy worth saving, so left, taking the Tyranids with them to god knows where. The communication from the tyranids in the galaxy just suddenly stopped, and the greater hive fleet decided the black hole of communication the Tyranids disappeared into isn't worth sending a second fleet. There's still enough Tyranids to run your army, but they are no longer the main threat and we can go back to Imperium vs Chaos until you die. Even better we can update the Tyranid models to include new "naturalized" strains, meaning legally you must replace your old tyranid models to buy the new ones for clarity. That took like 2 seconds for me to come up with, AND it entails you buying your models again
>>741173578Basically this. They greenlit some edgelord's OC faction without thinking two seconds about any of the long term consequences
>>741173616>well oops guess chaos won't fight the nids after alExcept they clearly already do. Fuck how stupid are you? Deathguard fought tooth and nail against nids for control of a planet until they rendered the place too useless for either faction, as an example.
How powerful are tyranids ships?
>>741173650Tyranids eat necrodermis.
Only orks, Nids, and Necrons have a chance to "win." Chaos can't win because them winning means they also die. Humans can't win because the Nids counter them. Lol eldar. Lmao tau.Realistically its just down to Necrons vs Nids.
>>741173578Necrons will stop Necrons.Supposedly their biggest issues is with them are their internal house wars and being very slow to organize.
>>741173578>Literally nothing can stop the Necrons.Except a jammer that stops their teleportation and mind copy for Lords. It actually exists in the lore too.
>>741170974There is no adapting to fire, it is the universal purifying force that breaks down all matter.
>>741173930This. The only reason they haven't already won is because 90% of them are asleep, and the only thing that can beat them is their own insanity and infighting.
>>741173578They'll all end up Destroyers, Flayed Ones, or retards
>>741173893They gain nothing from eating necrodermis as it's not convertible to biomass.
>>741170934>Tyrannid with halo-object bullshit in their DNA code.Oh my god they'll be horrendously strong amoral nightmare aliens who can't be understood and are absurdly hard to ki- oh right yeah not a huge change.Alternatively, it makes then even stronger, which means we'll have to defrost kryptman from his carbonite prison in whatever fucking wing of Trayzy's garbage pile he's probably in and tell him we need the entire rogue trader setting removed please.
>>741141480LOTS of nukes.
chaos trannies seething ITT
>>741173650Necrons counter them the same way they counter everything.They're the potential faction. The Necrons have the potential to deal with every single problem in the setting.Meanwhile this entire tomb world was eaten by hormagaunts because Overlord Dementius the Elder was too busy looking for "The Artifact" to deal with them. We will never know what "The Artifact" was or did.
>>741174085They evolve to eat nukes, like giga-Godzillas.
>>741173991*evolves into water*Oops
>Necrons are cultivators on a mortal plane
The Hive Mind would utterly crush the God Emperor. It wouldn't even be a contest.
>>741174128Given every time GW actually tells us about a necron artifact it has to be immediately destroyed or used lest we start asking "why the fuck didn't they just use the intergalactic sun-exploding sniper rifle to solve all their problems?"
>>741141480Lead them to Oliensis, either the fat guy eats them up or they eat the biggest meatball in the galaxy and piss off Slaneesh, either way the Imperium wins.
>>741174295Nah it's a bug zapper. The terminus decree was actually just a way to build the electric zapping fence around old corpsey by feeding him his favourite meal of extremely potent psykers in a tin. Sorry I threw up after I said terminus decree.

>>741171734how long are you going to make these whiny posts for nigger. did a nidder steal your gf
>>741174295Think it'll be a draw. Everyone thought making psychic contact with the hive mind was impossible because it'd drive anyone short of the emperor insane, but the chief librarian of the Ultramarines managed to do it without being shuffled off to a padded cell afterwards.
>>741174503Weird shit goes down there. The spess muhrains that go there are crazy.
>>741141480Bad writing, like always. No matter who wins any skirmish with GW, bad writing will be the foremost credit.
>>741174516Crab the animal is probably Slaneesh, due to claws and shit.Crabs the parasite genital lice probably are involved in a custody battle between the two.
>>741174503Basically the Epstein islands of the galaxy ran by the 2 lost primarchs but they spread spooky rumours about it to keep the plebs out.
>>741174128Anon, nids did strip some necrons worlds. Not for biomass, but for basic elements still needed to form their carapaces
>>741174503>>741174675The halo device is just the poster boy for the ghoul stars. It basically is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R zone of horrible shit that even makes the ass end of the galaxy it resides in look positively lovely. The shitty novamarines fought -some- kind of horrible alien thing god knows how long ago around there and got decimated (again lel) there's a necron flayed ones holiday home there because you know why not. Oh, and now of course the tendril of a hive is coming through so it's full of fucking bugs.
>>741175061There's also the thing so dreadful and apocalyptic that no one gives out any info of it and the inquisition scrubbed all data about it, the Pale Wastings.
>>741175061Halo worlds were covered in the Forges of Mars trilogy.
>>741145602>Okay but how is nuking the galaxy a Win? There's no proof all nids would go down with everyone, the hive will likely treat it as a spicy candy and move to the next galaxyI mean how is it not a win? Pyrrhic victory though it may be at least everyone else is dead.
>>741168560Gold.
>>741175330That's assuming all the nids that ever are are already in the milky way. Just imagine the egg on your face if you nuke the galaxy then 5 days later hive fleet slowbro shows up all apologetic to the rest of the hive mind for taking so long to come over.
Necron pads etc look ornamental. Do you think yo average sickly necrontyr soldier had some sort of battle suit or power armor with life support?
>>741171948they're just called Cultists, from the Dark Vengeance box set i believethey used to be very cheap but shot up in price dramatically a few years ago for no reason
>single space marine chapter killed a fleetnids are weak as hell just shoot them
>>741141480The only way to beat the Tyrannids is convince the hive mind it isn't worth the cost to win.Put up a good fight. Necrons can help dissuade them.Eventually they'll move on to the next galaxy. They're a predator, that's how they act.Anyone saying otherwise is coping. Obviously you can't "beat" them, that's half the fun of the faction.Fucking browntards don't understand basic worldbuilding.
>>741152609It was always hinted that Slaanesh is gay, literally.
>>741172667Every faction but the eldar and tau have a win condition >chaos fully drowns the galaxy in the warp>the emperor gets up>orks fully unite>necrons fully wake up
>>741174503before Horus Heresy, Empire committed xenocide on race called Rangdan. All record of them have been erased, with record of 2nd and 11 legion that most likely were involved in the xenocide.Speculation that what remained of Rangdan escaped to Ghoul Stars and now fucks up whatever tries to go there.In ~34K 12 chapters of space marines were send there to investigate, but they got massacred and only Novamarines survived, vowed to never say what happened. All record have been also purged by inquisition.
>>741171131but they dont care about propagating their race. they care about eating
>>741176038>tau will convert whole galaxy to communism>Eldars will somehow kill Slaneesh, as if this shit would ever happen

>>741176205Couldn't they kill Slaanesh just by killing all the dark eldar because their debauchery is what keeps it strong? I don't really understand how chaos gods work.
>>741176205the tau can't even convert the whole tau to communism
>buy minis>paint them>they only look okayFuck this hobby
>>741176038Tau wincon is to survive for just a few centuries more and they will out tech everyone but necrons.
The Flood Gravemind and the Tyrannid Hivemind would not fight.They'd marry and have a great and long lasting marriage.Prove me wrong.
>>741174503Region of space on the northeast edge of the galaxy where a bunch of fucked shit is. There is a whole chapter dedicated to keeping an eye on it. Some notable things there would be the kingdom of the flayed ones, the ashen claws who are a renegade space marine warband from the Horus heresy, and the cythor fiends. In the past an extremely dangerous thing came from there that wiped out entire sectors and 11 whole chapters died stopping it
>>741170807that is actually not a bad idea, but a very short lived one.He will have to jump on golden throne back immediately after resurrecting though.
>>741176350>and they will out tech everyone but necrons.They aren't even building new shit here and now. You'd think that with their technological advancement of going from cavemen to spacefarers in 3k years that every new encounter with the tau would reveal a slew of new weaponry in their arsenal but you'd be lucky to have one or two new guns at best.

>>741176038>>the emperor gets upPyrrhic victory at best. Even the Emperor doesn't think it's acceptable.
>>741176514>Amenex Soulrend, Exalted Sorcerer of Tzeentch, unleashed his Silvered Sons against the newly founded T'au Sept World of Dy'aketh. While his Rubric Marines marched through recently constructed conurbations and laboratory-complexes, incinerating all in their path with salvoes of incendiary rounds, Soulrend and his personal retinue headed deep underground. Far beneath the planet's crust lay an Earth Caste research facility, which had spent several solar months studying a strange artefact -- a sceptre crafted from voridium crystals that thrummed with barely suppressed energy. Just as Soulrend neared the priceless relic, he was assailed by experimental Battlesuits and Fire Warriors wielding super-charged Pulse Carbines. These weapons fired searing beams of green-white fire that burned through even the Warp-blessed armour of Soulrend's warriors. Battle lines were drawn as Chaos sorcery met cutting-edge technology, and the fires of war consumed Dy'aketh.Unfortunately we will never see these warp-gun using Tau because it's just codex lore
>>741175975>chaos god of excess and degeneracy is a fagWow really
Honestly consumption by Tyranids is a much better endgame for Humanity than eternal torment by Chaos.
>>741175885Nah, it used to be like this, but they changed lore. Now nids are more 'strategic' and even destroy necrons worlds, even if there is not much gain for them.
>>741176643Mmh, I wonder who is behind this post
>>741176636i see you're gay too
My fellow imperials we must let ourselves be culturally enriched by the hive fleets or the imperium will not survive
>>741176643>much better endgameYour soul still exists and will be raped by daemons
>>741176849The Emperor protects.
>>741176514Because 40k is a setting not a story. Would be quite silly if Tau got a new codex every 2 months with just constant new and better stuff. Basic firewarrior wielding man-portable rapid fire heavy rail cannons and the actual heavy stuff is just even crazier. Funny from story angle, bad for business.
>>741176350tau have been at war with the imperium for like two hundred years and haven't made significant tech improvements
>>741176849Chaos will sputter out like a gutted candled without living beings to fuel it.
Imagine being an ork fighting all those nids. Musta been heaven
>>741176643>Honestly consumption by Tyranids is a much better endgame for Humanity than eternal torment by Chaos.
>>741176953That doesn't really change that Chaos gets to eat your soul before they die out though.
>>741176643>>741176708
>>741176953One universe dying wouldn't kill Chaos.
>>741177116sovless>>741177134SOVL
>>741176983Orks are a paradox to me. I both hate and love them at the same time.Hate, because they're really goofy and tonally jarring compared to everything else, plus their tech is retarded.Love, because they're really goofy and frequently hilarious.
>>741177149Kinda would considering the warp seems to be hilariously confined to the Milky Way. If it weren't you'd think we would hear about chaos worshippers not from the area.
>>741177236It's confined to the Milky Way because Tyranids ate everything else around the milky way
>>741176934Emperor has been rotting on the throne for 10k years and haven't made significant attempts to wake up. It's all a setting. GW will never normalize ion or rail rifles to the basic grunts or make XV8-67 crisis suits that are 3 times cheaper with 10x the fire power.
I'm confused about the wh fantasy universe. Is Sigmar before or after the "end" where the retarded vampire kills a dude in the ritual to save the world and chaos wins?
>>741177236GW tells us that multiple times that Chaos is multiversal, but in practice this isn't relevant. Except for one time they namedropped a Skaven demon being at the Siege of Terra
>>741176038Necrons end goal is to disconnect whole galaxy from warp, which would also kill all Chaos Gods and poor Papa Nurgle (who loves you!). Then for some of them to soul transfer to lesser beings.
It seems like having a soul is a terrible flaw. Maybe you should get rid of it? Just hand it over.
>>741177347he saved guilliman and burnt nurgle's gardenand somewhat very recently in an artwork he was shown with open eyes, or one open eye.
Grey Goo would body those nid freaks
whenever or not they can depends on the information we have no access to yet, that being where the fuck did tyranids even come from and if there are more of them
>>741177405I actually feel bad for the Necrons. Talk about being dealt a shit hand. Although it is really fucking retarded of them to wage war on the old ones for literally no reason. The old ones probably could have helped them.
>>741177447It would be difficult to open both eyes for him, as Horus get rid of one of them.
>>741177236no they retconned this like a decade ago, the chaos gods are multiversal, like fantasy and 40k are different universes but the chaos gods are the same
>>741141480Having finally accepted that this armada will never arrive. It’s been 20–30 IRL years, and it’s still not here. It will never arrive, and the Tyranids will never be relevant, nor will they receive a decent upgrade for the current lineup.They'll always be the b-team jobber faction that's destined to lose in the first act of the sequel, since the orcs have already been used in the first game.In turn, GW will feed fans increasingly outrageous statements in the codexes to get them hyped. “The Tyranids have evolved beyond the point of being relevant or selling well; the Imperium can't handle them—buy the new Primaris models.”The Potential Man faction.
>>741177370>>741177730Multiversal, or a multiversal constant? These are two entirely different things.Multiversal means that the thing has a version of it existing across all universes. Superman for example exists in a bunch of comic universes, the Brucee Timm animated universe, the DC animated (movie) universe, the Injustice video game universe, etc.A multiversal constant means that throughout the entirety of the multiverse, there is only the one character. Despite shit like Marvel Zombies where he flat out gets killed, or DCeased where he gets zombified, characters like Galactus and Darkseid are stated by their parent companies to be multiversal constants.None of this shit mind you is relevant because neither being multiversal nor a multiversal constant changes things in terms of their geography. Spider-man is multiversal but he is by and large a super-hero from New York.Chaos could be in 99 different universes, but unless I hear or see anyone with evidence to the contrary they're stuck in the milky way of those 99 universes.
>>741177861I want to rape and kill all drills
>>741177903This is the most recent on it from a 2023 White Dwarf article>Greetings, oh bearded and strong one. I was wondering how Slaaneshi daemons can be in the Mortal Realms as well as in 41st Millenium; I'm pretty sure that Slaanesh was created by the Fall of the Aeldari.>Daemons-what an unwholesome subject to be asking about! Especially those debauched Slaaneshi creatures. Quite why you would want to know about them. I don't know! However. I am oathbound to answer your question.>The Mortal Realms - and the Old World, which precede them - exist in a totally different reality to the 41st Millenium. The Realm of Chaos, where Slaanesh resides, exist outside of both these realities, although it is connected to them.>It is a strange metaphysical place formed of emotions, abstract concepts and ideas, where such mortal notions as causality and linear time have no meaning. So while you're right, and Slaanesh was created during the Fall by the hedonistic lifestyle of the Aeldari, the Dark Prince exist beyond time and space, and his minions can manifest in many realities. It's enough to make an old dwarf's head hurt.

>>741178795That was a pretense. The actual motive for the war is the necrontyr were such violent retards their leader decided uniting against a common enemy was the only way to stop them destroying themselves. They picked the Old Ones because they were the only race that could credibly challenge the necrontyr. Which of course lead to them getting their ass kicked.

>>741180238They wanted to copyright their own names for their races - so orruks instead of orks, duardin instead of dwarf etc. and to refresh their models, rules and setting.Models were ok, but they fucked up everything else.In 2024 the brought The Old World back, this time set ~300 years before End Times, and it got much more popular than Age of Shitmar
>>741180531wtf.. delete this
>>741180224No they wouldn't bring him back in his 30k form.
>>741141480Let the Tau deal with it.
>>741180306>hyperbolic homochamberwhat is the point of the training if he is alone in it?goku would win, freetenks wasted 1000 years on homo training alone.
>>741153318After Oldcrons became Nucrons which are Tomb Kangz in Space, we're getting Space Vampire Counts at some point. In Space.

>>741181053Genestealers as space vampires was neat.
>>741141480>Realistically, how can the Imperium fight off the impending Tyranid armada?With the help of resurrected Sanguinius.
>>741181053That's the Blood Angels.
>>741180980>what is the point of the training if he is alone in it?They (mainly Piccolo really) do meditative thought training all the time, so 1k years in the homophobic crime chamber solo would be 1k years of that.
>>741181246Piccolo is the ultimate jobber. Can't believe he has a fanbase.
>>741181303Such is the appeal to fatherless children.
>Big Green SlanderI see bejitabros miss their daily dose
>>741181246but 1k years meditation in homophobic is a valid training1k years in homochamber or in homoactive chamber is waste of time - he can't train being homo alone
>>741181504>he can't train being homo aloneThen how did you get so good at it?
>>741181443be quiet jose

>>741176326buy more and paint them betterthe first ones will look better in the mix due to the cheerleader effect
>>741181885Ain't got the money to just grind on 40k painting
>>741181848>drank the super homo water to instantly power upYou didn't beat the demon king.
>>741181959fair. i painted a lot of 3d printed shit i got off etsy but even that is pricier than i'd like
>>741176038eldar can barely use their own technology at the moment because of how warp dependent it all is. if they could uncouple themselves from slaanesh, that would basically be their win condition.the tau are too new to have any kind of win condition at the moment, but im going to go out on a limb and say it will be something along the lines of exponential technological growth stemming from their cooperation with other xenos races and their AI.
>>741177730If that's the case then the universe that spew out Slaanesh is super fucking special, or Slaanesh sucks giant shlongs and there is a million of him.
>>741177730Seems like they re-retconned that shit then because in spite of the machinations going on in Warhammer Fantasy, there's no Horned Rat chaos god in 40k.
>>741181053blood angels

With the grace of the emperor
