THE TYRANIDS (Bio-Mechanical World Eaters) WARHAMMER 40K LORE EXPLAINED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2024
- Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As voted for by everyone in the latest poll, over the next few weeks we’re going to be diving into the expansive Warhammer 40K universe.
In this massive video, I’m going to do my best to provide an introductory overview of the Tyranids, an extragalactic zoo of hideous, insect-like aliens that redefine the term "bio-diversity" with their countless variants in the Warhammer 40K universe.
I’m planning on covering many more topics in the 40K universe over the next few months in more detail, but the purpose of this video is to provide insight and a brief overview of the Tyranid species.

The Hive Mind: Return. Destroy. Consuuuummmmeee!!
Tyranids: (Roaring and screeching)
Bloody gene stealer!
i was never a fan of the board game but the scifi fantasty lore is almost second to none
Right here with ya.
Just make it into movies and comic literature and/or migrate to digital platform intsead of table top. At least have a plan for when board games completely die.
@@WangNurMouththey have a lot of good games and endless shit games that reel in cash
I'm genuinely surprised this comment has yet to get any flack for the term "board game." Lol. I'd love to play but I'm a broke bitch so I just read everything Warhammer.
@@elsiedoomhammer7646 lol i honestly didnt know what to call it, i thought "board game" was pretty bad too
Sounds like the Tyranids need some DEMOCRACY!!!!
Lmao you need tens of thousands of men tanks ships to face these and you still wouldn't win
One space marines is like a hundred helldiver? Or even more... So yeah no... But if you think about y the hive fleet is technically democracy itself since they collectively cooperate and manage their fleet
Tyranids would eat super earth for breakfast.
In all honesty a single Tyranid Hive Fleet would effortlessly eat the assembled military forces of Super Earth, all the Termninids, and all the Artificials while barely even noticing a fight was happening at all.
@@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954 Propaganda - nothing beats managed democracy, you sympathizer.
My man all of a sudden posts a warhammer vid and it also happens to be my favorite faction. What a day!
Space marines arent your favorite?!? HERETIC
@@reidcacaro2919 space marines and the entire empire of man doesnt stand a chance against the collective hive mind of the tyranids. Its only a matter of time.
what we see from the lore is just a tiny faction...from humans, chaos factions to orcs they will consume anything and everything!@@reidcacaro2919
@@nick-sx5ob Definitely. But it is a sweet, slow death.
Yet in the end Mankind is nothing. It will be nothing.
And then eventually the Tyranids will move on to another galaxy.
It's always refreshing to see people who appreciate the other factions, it would be boring if everyone only liked space marines and the imperium
Right off the bat, a swarm consuming a world rich with life.
ohhh Snap almost at 1 million subscribers congrats man!
Thanks mate!!
Tyranids: "I have a question for you."
40K Races: "What's that?"
Tyranids: *DIE!*
Lemme guess, ya don't do requests.
Not a question
"Are you a God?"
"Uh, no."
"Then. DIE!"
"Ray. When something asks if you're a God you say YES!"
@@shelldie8523That's because I don't do requests
Playing god is a universal human obssesion@@jaymevosburgh3660
Funny how you’ve told me nothing I haven’t read / watched over n over but here I am , enjoying more 40k
😂❤
*All hail the Emperor of Mankind*
FOR THE EMPEROR I WALK IN HIS HOLY LIGHT
The Emperor is a lie. His subjects: slaves and sycophants. The true path is the ever loving embrace of Nurgle.
Yes, glory to our four armed emperor

More WarHammer! 🙏🏻
I second this motion ! ☝️
The Emperor demands it...
dew it
Only in death. Is when duty ends.
Oh no, my friend. The hive ships are ENTIRLY organic
You're right, but I think it would be cool if the ships have a way to extrude metallic alloys through a chemical process to make some ship parts like support struts or something
@@ernest9868They do use natural structures and grow through them to create horrific large space fairing structures.
The Tyranids also eat all metals and other elements on the surface on planets.
Depends on the authors in question what you get hinted at about this truly alien invader.
I think the Tyranids are going to ultimately pen in and isolate pockets of life in the galaxy. All in an act to push them to desperation so it can exploit them to harvest as much possible potential as can be gained.
I'm no WarHammer fan, but imagine if you combine Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise with the Flood from Halo, and you've got the Tyranids.
Only thing thats terrifyingnabout the tearynids, though, is that the ARE conscious and they member everything: EVERYTHING AND ARE AWARE OF EVERY OTHER TEARANID IN EXISTENCE. Imagine a consciousness AWARE across galaxies and time and space. Each tearanid is a synapsis of a brain, and they LEARN. Imagine knowing everything that every tyrand has EVER known in the past Having memories of your parents and your grandparents. And your great great grandparents, having thei memories as YOURS And knowing what Every tyrannid nows right now and thrm know YOU
Alien, The flood, Bugs from troopers, Ender's game aliens, you could name whatever alien type it is and the nids probably has some version of it and made to be even more brutal and terrifying, they also adapt when you kill one alien that alien can comeback to life geared up tou counter you not to mention some nids have a gamer mindset they know they can be remade by the hive via biomass reconstruction with the same memories and mind, with adapted arsenals or abilities to beat the ones that killed them for the next encounter, there's this one tyranid tyrant that loves using it's bone swords and just always goes and charges the enemy regardless if it wins or not only to comeback stronger and faster
@@Mezha07 Well, while the other creatures you've mentioned are quite accurate to the Tyranids, the Formics from Ender's Game aren't parasitic, they're just like a combination of humans and Earth's eusocial apocrita (ants, bees and wasps) in addition to extrasensory perception, such as telepathy, and there are a few Arachnid castes, like the Control Bug, that are parsitic enough to control their hosts or the Leadership Bugs (i.e. Brain, Queen and God Bugs) that can absorb memories from other beings by sucking their brains out to gather information.
I don’t see them beating the flood
Sounds alot like the hive from destiny
This was such a treat, as both a Film Comics Explained, and a Warhammer 40K fan. You really did your research and articulated the scope, horror and complexity of the Tyranids perfectly. Bravo.🏆 one for the downloads.
FCE, the drinking game: take a shot every time our beloved lore professor says, "insatiable."
As much as I love my beautiful bugs...GW seriously wrote themselves into a corner with them. If we go strictly by lore and capabilities of Tyranids...they win. At the end of the day the nids will win no matter what any faction does. It would take the complete cooperation of every other race to stop the entire swarm.
I'd agree in some ways. But in reality, as far as power scaling goes. Once the Necrons fully awaken; if they all join together again instead of resorting to factions. They alone are overkill to every other race including the Tyranids. And that's because the only big surprise left for nids is actually revealing its overmind. Whereas, the Necrons are written as such, that their litteral strongest units and weapons are still asleep. What the Necrons muster at the current moment is enough to enslave gods.
That's my thoughts on it though.
If it was any other universe, I'd say it was intentional
I love nids. Thank you so much for this video while I work!
Any time!
48:01 ".. Relentless-
Claws
And
Teeth..." (❤)
When the hell did you get into warhammer??
When when the topic started getting millionas of views, maybe?😅
the universe is back on the menu boys!!
Lol that's a good one!
hell yea tyranids RULE!
Tyranids, aka 40k Zerg, aka 40k Xenomorphs, aka 40k Starship Troopers bugs.
Scarier than all 3 of them.
If GW didn't worf them everytime
Why Zerg?
Those you mentioned are all inspired by the Tyranids. Thats why they seem familiar.
Slivers
The originals
From magic 😊
@RealNotallGaming I remember when those came out. My favorite set. But that was in the 90's. Tyranids came out in the 80's. So still older
Im so happy. I've been waiting for this since Niat dropped that video on the emperor. I think the tyranids are probably the most interesting faction in 40k. The true darkness of this Cthuluesque entity scaled down to human size so thag man can fight and die at its hands. Or mouth(s) technically.
my favorite youtuber doing my favorite series
I absolutely love these Warhammer videos! Thanks so much for this great contact man
Bricky and FilmComicsExplained need to collab on future Warhammer 40K videos!
This is damn good Warhammer deep dive quality! You and Occulus Imperia are my favs.
Thanks for making my Sunday complete 👌
I'm glad you're back to Lore videos
i ve been waiting for this video for way too long!!
The EMPEROR Protects
Man, hitting it out of the park with the content!
So glad your digging into 40k! Well done!
They hangry and we food.
fantastic video per usual!
Time for the heavy flamers brothers!
Much love man keep up the 4K content.
ive been watching you since i was a little kid and im so happy your doing warhammer 40k i love your vids bro
I'm here to represent the Farsight Enclaves..........
oh hellz yeah! I can't wait until they start making a series about Warhammer 40k!
You and me both!
You guys are not alone lol
More please love you’re deep lore dives!
I love how you mention we may have encountered the tyranids much earlier on. I remember one of the stories about the inquisitors and a small group that encounters one of the space craft during the great expansion or whatever they call it. They turn on the space ship that is one of Humanities creations and the Artificial intelligence is soo disgusted by how much humanity has devolved. It's like we are a shell of our former selves in the future compared to what humanity once was.
I mean, we devolved into basically the Roman empire in space and are steeped in religious dogma the Adeptus Mechanicus dosnt even KNOW how technologies work they do rituals to do stuff but do not actually KNOW how stuff actually works. To re power the dread ships, they literally have some dude carry an irradiated rod into the reactor, and he slowly dies, and they do this every time instead of creating a piece of machinery to load it for them...
@@timfrank7461 Yeah it's scary I would not want that job lol
@@timfrank7461not that they won’t make a robot to do it it’s just it went bad when they did lol. Men of iron is what happened when these guys made robots to do shit for them and also this is the reason we don’t have any dark age technology
@nothappyboi9453 that be true
I was near heresy with that comment
All hail the god Emperor
@@timfrank7461 all is forgiven and all hail BIG E
Cant tell you how happy I am to see you at 992k, Niyat! Here is to a quick 8,000 new subscribers
I’ve seen every other channel explain tyranids but I got excited seeing FCE doing a explanation
RUclips PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE UP AND DONT BE SHIT AS USUAL! Big fan of you man, genuinely one of my fav youtubers and you're now starting on my fav fictional world so keep at it.
42:25 Nope, that's a Zerg Overlord from StarCraft.
Rumor has it SC started out as a WH40K game but had to be spun off into its own IP. And it shows in how similar the Zerg are to Tyranids. Similar for the Terrans with their own flavor of "Marines" in their bulky armor with giant shoulder pads, and the Protoss "space elves" with their heavily ornamented and elegant-looking tech and omnipresent psychic powers...
Zerg were almost cool, and then they made a human in control.
@@mr.revrac5602 Kerrigan only was really in charge for like one campaign. Then she became a god and left the position to Zagara and the Hive Queens.
Thanks for this long in depth video on this War Hammer species
So this was the inspiration for the Zerg.
When I see Tyranids Lore which has always fascinated me , uploaded by FCE I click repeatedly until it starts! Awesome 😎
Wish copyright was not a thing and we could see wars between all the different franchjaws. Warhammer 40k Tyranid vs Starcraft Zerg vs Alien Xenomorph vs Starship Troopers Bugs vs Animorphs Taxxons vs Marvel Brood vs Halo Flood whatever other scifi hivemind bug alien thingies I forgot. And of course all the other alien races too.
For the grandfather... come, accept his gifts..
I love your naration and thoutfullness and very good reasarch on the topic at hand over all that fits to all of your vids pls ceep on going like that
The astronomican did not attract the Tyranids to the milky way galaxy as the light of the astronomican just barely reaches the edge of the galaxy. The were attracted by the overloading of the Pharos Beacon during the Heresy years.
Heh. The Tyranids are the Borg counterparts, if you start comparing 40k to Star Trek.
More of this please
A very Entertaining Video
Ma-craaashe… it’s macragge 😂😂
You are absolutely an essential content creator, all hail FCE
Replying to your comment from the stream on the Eisenhorn books: I read Magos (Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts stole from Magos). I'm a full on Heretic. So I have to force myself to read things when I hear their good, but don't have Daemons. I've downloaded Hereticus on audible and I'll give it a go. I'm looking forward to your Chaos video, keep up the good work. 9 more k!
Thats awesome @TheKarjee. And thank you very much :)
Blood Ravens! Do or die! Kill! Kill! Kill! 🎶We're Space Marines of the Infantry Corps. We're marching strong as we march into war. We take no shit. We'll destroy the dark hordes.🎶 DragonForce mentioned the Tyranids in this song.
I for one welcome our new overlords. 😂 All hail the Hive Mind and the local Patriarch!
I like to think that the Tyranids are the bio engineered "Clean Up Crew", created by a or possibly more Old One that escaped the War in Heaven. That could explain why the Silent Ling went into Exile out of the galaxy and has such an interest in fighting the Tyranids.
Ik all of this I’m just excited to see you exploring the series
Love your stuff my friend, I still remember the terminator videos and you turned me on to dune, alien, and countless others, if your up for it contact Roanoke gaming, you guys do very similar work and I would love to see your content in one magnificent collaboration and that’d be a dream come true
Getting closer and closer to 1 million subs.
Wow the Tyrannids remind me of any alien invasive species that exists in science fiction with how they go about the universe of Warhammer. Very terrifying.
Relentless purple prose to match so much of this purple-hued artwork ;)
You should do The Necrons next.
Are these scene's from video or actual gameplay? These first 2 videos of your really got me interested to learn/play/watch more about the WH40K universe. Keep up the good work! 😁
The audio and part of rhe video is from battle fleet gothic and he spliced in parts of the 10th edition trailer. If you want to know about 40k though I suggest you read the books/codexs. RUclipsrs are unreliable unfortunately.
Frist off i love this channel and i love all your videos. Second "robot guilliman "😂
Well designed Warhammer 40K content. Subscription worthy.
I'd like to learn something about the Necrons. 💥😛👍
I see Warhammer, I click
I heard something about the Nids are actually running away from something. Could there be another race we don't know about ?
No theres literally bo evidence
@mr.revrac5602 this video says its possible and I don't believe you so
@@Michaelkayslay “this video” have you read any books? I have. No codex no book no show hints at this as a possibility. Its not true. Go read a book then Ill take you seriously.
@mr.revrac5602 I csnt read so stop making fun of me mr floprac
Why you even here
@@Michaelkayslayto find idiots like you who watch a RUclips video and suddenly think that makes them experts. We couldn’t even have a debate if we tried because you dont know anything about warhammer beyond what your told and thats sad. If you actually have an interest in warhammer go read the book or find an audio book.
F.C.E. IS THE BEST! ☝️☝️☝️✨️
Oh bless the helldivers players thinking this is something that clould be fought in four man fireteams 😂😂
Worlds with tens of thousands of men tanks ships ect have been swept away like leaves to the tyranids
Hell divers won't even amount as a snack... XD
I still have the theory. That's it tyrannids are running away from something. They are the shrimp running away from WHALES and if THEY are the shrimp...
Theres literally nothing to suggest they are running away. No hint, no blurb, nothing. Even their actions in the galaxy don’t hint at them running. Before coming to the galaxy they were asleep drifting, and when they got here it was because of food.
Can you do the eldar or the necrons next please, these are so good.
Hope you cover Night Haunter eventually. The Warhammer lore is interesting.
TRYANIDS LET'S GOOOOO!
There are only three races that the tyranids can't fight for any real benefit. Chaos, necrons and the men of iron.
Blood Angels: Uncleeeeeee
Guilliman: Yes
40K has some of the richest lore of any fictional universe.
What I love about 40K unlike other scifi with similar ambition in scale is that 40K leans into the space magic and fantasy rather than just trying to explain it away as "advanced tech". As dark and serious as some aspects are, 40K doesn't shy away from it's own absurdity. It's both a great drama and a self parody.
I don't dislike good science fiction but I personally find an open embrace of fantasy elements more pallatable than pseudo-science. I believe much of this is inspired by Dune although 40K isn't afraid to take from a variety of genres and epics, with the orks and Eldari being perfect examples of this.
You always speak my language. Sometimes, I'm unaware of what you're saying. Keep talking.
It's game over man
you're a WH FAN?! no way! guess our numbers have become truly great since my childhood lol
I feel like the idea of endless hunger is reminiscent of Tolkien’s ungoliant, who eventually consumed herself. Also, if it could feed itself without an ever-increasing amount of food, it would render their entire purpose pointless.
Bloody beautiful
Do jujutsu kaisen 3 vengeful spirits and sukuna both real life mythology and manga
I'll never forgive the Nids foe Baal
Hopefully this one doesn't get copywrited and taken down. I missed the first Warhammer video you posted a couple weeks ago because I waited a day to watch it.
Am amazed they haven’t tried to make movies or at least a TV series out of Warhammer I feel like it’s ripe for picking if the right person comes along and adapts it to the big or small screen.
I wish the Tyranids would come to our galaxy & star system!
They're beautiful, perfect machines and if something like this actually existed I would hope we would be smart enough to join them.
amazing video id love to see more of warhammer on the channels may i suggest Age of Sigmar may be more your alley its the fantasy IP (minor nitpick the image on the biovore is a exocrene)
Forget the every other primarch; the empirium would be doomed without Guilliman. It cannot function without him.
I have two theories about the tyranids but both involve them being created by the old ones, theory 1: During the war in heaven the C’tan needed souls to fuel their strength, the old ones couldn’t manage them though and but the to be extremely intelligent that way they would be self reliant. the tyranids were a way of starving them and depriving them of their power and food source but the necrons being metal scared them and pushed them back and the old ones put them back in ghosts shelf or their extreme intelligence told them tv war wasn’t worth it and they fled to save themselves . Theory 2: They are a giant reset button that either escaped or the surviving old ones unleashed, after the war in heaven the few old ones that survived began to repopulate and become ready to nurture the galaxy once more but many of what they created was for war, the orks thirsted for it had hulking beasts of war and the Aeldari psychic might weren’t meant for what they had in store, they were weapons for self defense not for peaceful life, so the old ones wanted the tyranids to devour they entire galaxy and archive their dna so whenever they came back the galaxy will be bare, ripe for them to restore the galaxy using the archived dna to reseed the galaxy
You're a hell of a lore Master. Just think how powerful you could be if you focused all your efforts into being the top iterators, your name be whispered in the same breathe as Luetin, Oculus, Baldermort and Majorkill...
I love how the Tyranids are fed to us as an inevitability, unstoppable, they will eventually devour all, and yet in decades they haven't had a single canonical meaningful victory
Filmcomicsexolained please do the video on SCP 001 UBU
They're not attracted by the golden throne, look up Dantioch and Pollox. You'll see why they're here
I did and still don't understand their connection
I love star trek, probably my favorite sci fi franchise. I got into an argument with another nerd that thought the Borg would be effective in the 40k universe.
I disagreed. The borg might stand a chance agianst the Tau, but they would be absolutely wrecked by any other species, much less the tyranids.
Even the humans would prove impossible as the vast majority of humans would be useless for them as an improvement. And as soon as the empire is aware of the borg, they would just vaporize on sight. The orks...the orks would make the Borg less effective of they assimilated them. And the Necron, the Borg would probably worship the Necron. The Tyranids would just uno card reverse.
I have watched all your vids but I cannot remember if you’ve covered the Halo and the Flood, the Star Wars Yuuzhan Vong 26 book series, or the Star Craft universe. There’s definitely some overlap in story and type.
Please look at The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
