      I want to see an alternative timeline Abbadon shatter Catachan with the Blackstone fortress only to end up with thousands chunks of the planet land on the black crusade fleet, causing a chronic infestation of Catachan ecosystem on their fleet (because of how resilient and adaptive the ecosystem on Catachan is). And since the planet seeded itself everywhere in the system after that, the Catachans just settle there because they have become addicted to the deadly jungle.

      I can just imagine a couple of Guardsmen from the planet just looking at each other and talking About how it's so strange that this has happened At least 4 or maybe 5 times. Which isn't a lot. But the fact that it has happened In the first place to there planet. It's more than enough to make it seem very weird. Considering that Nearly everything else stops after the first time they failed. Tyranids just don't seem to get the message. Maybe that's why they made that giant moon. To go send it to eat all of catachan. After all, how do you Conquer a planet that quite literally eats your army. Every time you try to land on it. You make a planet to eat that planet.

      @@felslipes I think in this scenario it could go either way in a story due to the lack of lasting consequences following either outcome. I feel like on re-examination that a fight between a Norn Emissary and a named bloodthirster like Skarbrand or Ka'Bandha would end decisively in the favour of the bloodthirster unless there were some massive shadow in the warp shenanigans going on and that honestly goes for any greater daemon. Weaker greater daemons might be beaten but tyranids have never previously been as much about martial excellence in a single creature as they are about just having much more stuff than you (the swarm lord being the possible exception but it's mostly there for it's battlefield control with martial skill as a secondary benefit). I feel like if GW wanted to make the tyranids win such an encounter they would probably still swamp the daemon in bodies such as carnifexes.

Only Votann (which are an entirely new army and thus will take probably 1-2 editions to get fully fleshed out, much like the Tau did on their introduction) and Nids lack a 'big centerpiece model of knight size'.

      At the moment, the Swarmlord is considered unique, learning and becoming more formidable with each incarnation. However, I doubt it is the only organism that the Hive-mind stores and incarnates from world to world. The Swarmlord isn't even a unique organism in the conventional sense, as it can manifest simultaneously on multiple worlds when the Hive-Mind requires it. There may be many organisms, whose psychic presence, experiences and special properties are stored within the gestalt will of the Hive-Mind and its Norn Queens for deployment when the situation demands it. It seems the Norn Emissaries may fall into this class. Just because the Swarmlord is the most potent command organism yet to be seen, does not mean it is the greatest one the Hive-Mind can deploy.
      One organism that we haven't seen in a long time is the Tyranid Dominatrix, which literally has a Hive-Tyrant embedded into it as a symbiote weapon. It was as far above a Hive-Tyrant as a Hive-Tyrant was above a termagant. It was also a bio-titan, iirc the largest known Tyranid bio-titan. Of course, they'll never make a model of that these days because you don't want the kiddies asking Mom and Dad for a "Dominatrix model" for Christmas...there might be a misunderstanding.

    I haven't read the book or anything, but listening to the story here I like to think the six custodes that were killed by the norn emissary did not make a mistake. It wasn't that they couldn't dodge the emissary's attacks, it was that they chose not to. You have to remember that they were there to protect Lord Solar Leontus, and whether by Imperial Tarot or logical deduction, they knew Leontus had to live at all costs. There is no doubt in my mind that a custodes would have the tactical awareness to realize their death could cause Leontus to live for just a few precious seconds longer. Just imagine the humility, to be among the finest of all the Imperium's warriors, but still lay down your life for an unenhanced human. All because you know he can still do things that you cannot.

      I think this is not the case, because kick your head of your shoulders takes like one second, not too much time I guess, so this doesn't slow him down.

      I doubt that. The custodes are really good at what they do but there is always something better, faster and stronger so they did probably just get overwhelmed by the emisary. I don't think the extra second or probably even less from them getting their heads hit off would have really done more than if they had dodged it and kept fighting.

    For the longest time I never believed that their could ever be another Lord Solar that could surpass or compete with Macharius. You could make them be a Primarch and I still wouldn’t compare them to Macharius. He was too legendary that you are just never going to compete with such a beast of a man. And like people like Cain, Marbo, canoness Sethano, Eisenhorn, and Yarrick, Macharius is just a normal human man. Like you and me. That being said… Leontus is starting to give space Alexander the Great a run for his money.

    I love Tyranid models...and artwork...just blows my mind. All of the 40k art is so cool...especially the horror and metal styles. I also love listening to you guys talk about the lore and everything else in this universe that I don't have time nor energy, and money to pursue. Though nowadays my hearing is so bad I am always left pondering what you've said...especially with names and titles since it's harder for my brain to fill in the gaps without prior knowledge. Which listen for as long as possible, and it fun retaining the information I do :D

    Watching the first season of True Detective reminded me of this, and this is just my head canon, but I think the Tyranids represent the Universe’s white blood cells. Like nature created a “consciousness outside of itself” as Rust describes it in True Detective- sentient life, the chaos gods, the warp as a result of all that- and determined that it was a mistake needing to be purged from its body. Like all life is a parasite that just keeps taking and taking, so the proverbial Universe decided to take matters into its own hands by making the anti-sentience: the Tyranid Hivemind, to wipe it all out and start with a clean slate again.

      I dunno, they're too biological imo for this theory to apply, if they were more abstract in form it would fit better. I'm more of the opinion that they're the end result of predatory evolution, a species as advanced as us or even more but is driven only by the base instincts of all living beings, consume and reproduce, to the point that even their intellect is only developed to find more ways to eat more and faster. Still, we know jack shit about the origin of the nids, so its a matter of which headcanon sounds more appealing to you

    • @robisnon1236
      @robisnon1236 Год назад +2

      The problem with that is the universe is all encompassing by definition, and life and consciousness can therefore not be separated from it, as they are a part of it.
      As I think of it, all consciousness is the universe dreaming of itself, life emerging from matter as a wave rises in an endless ocean.
