      They were my second, i started with Genestealer Invasion Force (Space Hulk plus a metal Patriarch) then expanded it into a Genestealer Cult. Advaced Space Crusade and Tyranid Attack had me start to build a Tyranid Army at the end of 1st edition and i played both in 2nd. Tyranids carried me through from then when GSC were squatted till Knights and Mechanicus took over as my main army, but i still got the Leviathan Box on release and Overkill got me the basis of the new GSC. Soon i plan to dust off ,y old bugs and get those new plastic painted up.

    Your lore videos are always a pleasure to watch. Moreover, as a former Tyranids player (had to give them up because of their logistical problems), is nice to see the full scale of the danger the Nids pose to the galaxy. But what has always intrigued me is the fact that we still don't know why the Tyranids are moving across our galaxy and what (or who) are they running away from...

    • @MagralhoPT
      @MagralhoPT Год назад +7

      If there was any doubt about debunking the theory that the nids were running away from something, I do believe that both leviathan incursions prove it false. You dont run away towards what is pursuing you.
      Nids are comming from all directions at this point. So no, they are not runing from something.

    • @reggieking1045
      @reggieking1045 Год назад +4

      My opinion is they're running away from lifeless galaxies looking for more food. That's why they approach from different angles many years apart from each other. If they were truly fleeing some sort of threat they would all be heading towards us from the same direction. I suspect there's more hive fleets currently munching their way through other galaxies around the milky way and they will eventually make their way here if the other fleets don't manage to eat everything first. The only question is how big will the new fleets be. If they've managed to devour lots of other galaxies before arriving at the milky way it could be game over for the imperium. I don't think there's some kind of big bad monster out there scaring the Tyranids towards the milky way, they're just hungry and want more food.

    @idontwanttopickone Год назад +1

    Heres some tips on making better sci-fi planet names:
    Shorten them: Standior or Lastior would have been a better names.
    Break it up, remove letters and make it sound a little like another human language: La Tstandior, La'andior, Andior, Laststa, Lassandior, Sttandior...
    Run it through Google translates once: Last Stand into Welsh and squashed together with the "ior" on the end: Stondinolafior. In Basque: Azkenstandaior. In Latin: Novissimestoior. Then chop these down too: Stondafior, Azkandaior, Novimestior.... Or something like that. Works better if you just use one word, tbh.
    Suddenly you have weird planet names that sound like they have come from something human, but butchered over thousands of years.
    Words and names tend to get shortened and chopped up to become easier to say over time. So even adding "ior" to the end would be chopped down over time, especially in something like Laststandior, it's such a mouthful!
    You can see it happening right now. Look at what is happening to country names over time. The United Kingdom or Great Britain are rarely used, instead people say UK or Britain. The same has happened with the United States of America, its more common for people to say US now, not even including the A, or the States. Those eventually start appearing in writing and a generation starts assuming that is the norm. And a few generations and it is the norm. Eventually, given enough time, the original meaning is forgotten or only known by historians.
    The same would happen with planets over time. Earth wouldn't likely change as its hard to shorten it, but if a regularly used name has more than one syllable, chances are it'll get abbreviated. So, maybe when we start regularly traveling to Venus the s might get dropped over time and a thousand years from now it'll just be pronounced Venu or just Ven or maybe Vens. GW need to think about that if they want to make their universe feel old. Because names like Lasstandior feels about as old as the brain fart it wafted in on.

      Well, Yes, the Orks are basically programmed to take on the biggest galactic threat. Due to their impulse to get into the biggest scrap they can.
      When humanity was on its genocidal streak during the great crusade, the Orks turned their attention to them and briefly fought the imperium into a stalemate during the war of the beast.
      Which probably indirectly saved, or at least delayed the extinction of multiple nascent xenos species.
      And now that the Bugs are a bigger threat to galactic life than the Humies. That same pre programmed genetic imperative to seek out the biggest fight will drive the orks to focus on the Bugs.
      For while the green skins might be foul and savage beings, who will gladly bully or enslave any weak humies they come across. The genetic programming put into them by the old ones is still in full effect. And by following that programming they will automatically engage the biggest threat to the galaxy at any particular point in time.

      @@KanuckStreams I was thinking, it'd be pretty funny if Corax came back as some kind of unaligned shadow daemon, or like a pirate with a collection of random human and blackshield type marines he'd collected on the galactic fringes. Or even with a pocket empire of human worlds out of contact with the Imperium. More likely, he'll come back as a face-off box set guy with a new Lorgar or some other warp thing, and the backstory will be like 'oh yeah he was hunting chaos and went a bit mental but he's back and more or less the same'.

    GW took away the wrong lesson.
    What they were supposed to learn: "Hey guys, we can't just come up with a bunch of barely distinct stuff and claim we've had the trademark and copyright on it since science-fiction was a twinkle in Mary Shelly's eye. We really ought to assess each of our tentpole identifiers and work to make them more distinct so that our property feels more fleshed out and deep."
