40 Facts and Lore on the Tyranid Creating a Chaos God in Warhammer 40K

[@xavier84623]

The hive mind already is a god in the warp pretty much. It’s domain is the shadow, a place consumed with tyranids passing messages and an overwhelming feeling of hunger.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

I really like that concept that the shadow in the warp is already a presence. Very similar to a black hole that although is not visible by the eye we see the absence it create

[@matthewmelson1780]

I agree with this too. I think the shadow is the warp isn't negative chaos energy, its just an incomprehensible presence. I love to think of it like a giant computer network. Like the tyranids minds are just encrypted a certain way we can't decipher.

[@stelpher]

How I've always interpreted the Shadow in the Warp is that it's the side effect of the synaptic connection of the Hive Mind. While the Tyranids and the Hive Mind have no true presence in the warp, their synaptic link creates a wall of psychic 'white noise' (a shadow one might say) that blocks the connection between the Immaterium and our reality. The justification for Psyker units amongst the Tyranids (namely Zoanthropes and a few HQ units) being simply: Having adapted such powerful synapse organs to increase their independent thinking, synapse range and command on the battlefield, they've gained the ability to temporarily break through the Shadow in the Warp to unleash the Immaterium's energy in the forms of the Psyker powers we see in-game. Obviously this confers risks like any Psyker tapping into the Warp, but the risk is fairly limited as only an individual bioform is temporarily accessing the Warp - a fairly limited loss of biomass in the case of a Daemonic incursion/Warp mishap. This temporary divergence from the Hive Mind (which cannot access the Warp as far as we know), makes the bioform temporarily independent from the Hive Mind while 'casting', but then the psychic power ends and the Hive Mind 'reconnects', returning the Shadow of the Warp and blocking the Tyranid off from the Warp once more. Anyway, that's how I've always thought about it.

[@xavier84623]

@@stelpher what if instead of breaking through the warp, they are actually just channeling the power of the endless swarms of tyranid behind them. Like the whole hive fleet, and it gets psychic power and direction from the nids we don’t even know about behind that too. When a zoenthrope uses psychic power, it is being channeled directly from the hive mind, no vast well in another universe, just pure tyranid might. It’s like they are just passing a lightning bolt through the synapse to be used on the field, and this bypasses using the warp. But all that psychic might passing through spacetime drowns out the warp, even if it never goes into it.

[@stelpher]

@@xavier84623 Honestly, I'd agree that Tyranid psychic powers from a lore perspective don't draw from the Warp at all, and is simply the concentrated energy or will of the Hive Mind. Unfortunately, that doesn't explain why in-game Tyranid Psykers still suffer from Perils of the Warp/mishaps.

[@killak3219]

Wouldn’t the chaos god of the great devoured just be the great devourer itself? The Hive Mind could be considered it’s own god entity I think.

[@randomguy2809]

I think to be considered a chaos God you have to have psychic powers.

[@FarremShamist]

@@randomguy2809 ...Which the hive mind does have. It has an IMMENSE psychic presence. What people keep pointing out as the 'shadow in the warp' is not exactly a nullification of the warp around them... It's that there are so many minds at work that it casts a shadow upon all else. That's what the shadow in the warp is. It's not silence, it's cacophony. It's why people go mad and have such difficulty in the presence of the hive fleets. The tyranids, intentionally or not, eat their minds alive.

Isn't the shadow in the warp more like constant chattering instead of something akin to blanks? My guess is that there's already a warp presence by the nids, just not very centralized, even more broken than the emperor, and all it does is prevent nids from feeding the rest of the warp.

[@MidwesternMarauder94]

I'd love to see some lore on the Wolfspears after Nid November! I just got the White Dwarf magazine that featured them. Honestly I think a Tyranid God would represent the very essence of life, evolution, and adaptation. Since almost all of the races in 40k have continued to evolve and adapt to their reality in various situations in order to survive.

[@wessbrown5162]

I like the concept of a god of adaptation

[@OneMindSyndicate]

I will add the wolfspears to the list thanks. And I never thought about that. The tyranids do represent evolution and adaptation. Like the other chaos gods it has a positive and negative. Really good idea

[@lucasneufeld2705]

so similiar to Zerg (starcraft) they are already quite similiar so Kerrigan tyranid Version !!!

[@Sultschiem]

Tzeentch is the god of change and hope, while nurgle covers life and death. Seems to overlap too hard, no?

[@inthefade]

I'm taking it from elsewhere in these comments, but it would be the god of consuming darkness and hunger.

[@specter86fl]

Who is to say that the hive mind is already not a "chaos god" aka a super powerful warp entity? I mean it clearly has an effect upon the warp (the shadow in the warp). Maybe this saying is more literal then we first thought, maybe the hive mind literally is a shadow within the warp, a dark calm inside the storm. Doesn't a nid invasion leave the warp more calm by devouring emotional beings and thus depriving the other chaos gods of strength? literally bringing a calm darkness to the warp. Wouldn't it stand to reason that the nids had used genestealers in other galaxies, and thus already have a much longer history of emotional worship then any milkyway being could have? Think about it, thats why the hive mind is so alien, so foreign. It is a chaos god from another galaxy, and its goal is to not just consume all life in a galaxy, but also to consume all psychic energy, and thus to consume the chaos gods themselves. What if this is why the chaos gods even bothered with trying to build up military forces in real space in the first place, because they knew the hive mind was coming, and they would need them to defend against it. Think about it, the chaos gods didnt ever really need to bother with Horace in the first place, the galaxy is/has/and always will be filled with the exact emotions that brought them to existence in the first place, they didnt need to corrupt us, we were already corrupted. Always had been.

[@Szopjale1]

The reason why chaos gods bother with the galaxy is because its their nature. They "crave" more and more always, the simple its already corrupt so we always get emotions is not enough for them. Its like capitalism, they always try to maximize their "profit".

[@IcoOst]

bricky on AR speculated that something like this could happen if one of the hive fleets would be destroyed because their life energy is absolutely massive and their death would result in massive ripples in the warp

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Definitely the nids have the souls and matter to sacrifice. So imagine if multiple hive fleets destroyed themselves

[@damienparoski2033]

A tyranid chaos god? A big purple dinosaur named Barney!

[@merikmalhads1676]

My thoughts would be that this god would actually be one of evolution focused on forming new and advanced designs of flesh/stone/metal/warpstuffs (I guess wraithbone is the closest equivalent) as I view the thought that the tyranid's goal of consumption is short sided and individualistic. What the hive mind truly has as a goal is to shape every resource it can into tools to further obtain new and more interesting forms of material to then work with. The reason we as individuals see that as only consumption is because we think of resources as something to be shared rather than seeing it for the potential bioforms it can be used to form. My evidence for this school of thought is that if the Tyranid mind only cared about raw consumption, it wouldn't mould new bioforms it would just rush in with whatever original designs it had cause they work well enough most of the time. Yes, you could argue that that was the only way it managed to conquer but humans see beauty in the same sorts of things because they were critical to our survival so those who didn't take heed of the tiger face in the reeds or the symmetry of the best fruits/fungi/nuts or the intricate forms that the clouds above made died from the threat that they failed to recognize. We find pleasure in that which was crucial to our ancient ancestors' survival even today when we no longer face the threats that they did

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Seems to me like some of the chaos gods are vaguely modeled after the deadly sins, so a devouring one would fit well

[@brianmccord8106]

I don’t think tyrannids are inherently chaotic:.. they would simply ingest warp entities and bop to and fro into real space like hungry ants… Idealized consumption

[@magosdominus7395]

Gersh1 got a haircut

[@AnotherMC]

I think the new god would be the god of destruction. Like the other gods, it would have a positive side to it which would be creation as the Tyranids both destroy life and create it.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Yeah destruction and rebirth seems to be a very popular theme with GW. Basically all the eldar gods have some element of it. Isha and ynnead

[@antigrav6004]

Weez got won a dem already, is name is Gork... Or was it Mork?

[@ricardoalonso8376]

HF Tiamat may be working on something that could be the center of that chaos God. You talked about a central figure that is worshiped, but you forgot about creatures like the Emperor of man, who is becoming something like a living Chaos God. I see this emerging Bio-form to be a massive psychic entity that can embody the total weight of the Hive Mind. Effectively creating a presence in the warp while remaining active in real space. It wouldn't be a God of Hunger, or Feral impulses, it would be a god of assimilation. The Hivemind isn't looking for the extermination of life, but the assimilation of all life. I say this because to me, the “Hive Mind” is an eldritch god from a different plane of existence trying to enter ours. Its presence is too massive for a single individual body, so it created the Hive fleets to get enough biomass to bring itself into our space. Bringing something so powerful as itself to life in a body would affect the warp, I imagine its soul would be the equal to the domains of Chaos. In the end it would assimilate all chaos turning all chaos cultist into Tyranid cults and that could be one of the Apocalypse scenarios for 40k. I don't see a Chaos God for the Tyranids to be a player in the Great Game, it would just flip the table and shoot the other players.

[@thenarcolepticinsomniacs8394]

[@Zxr-r6q]

There is a tyranid variant capable of not being influenced by the shadow in the warp/hive-mind, that variant being the lictor, if a more stationary non-connected variant made specifically for making chaos gods were to be made, all they'd need to do is coalesce them in one area, and basically feed a chaos god into existence in that way. However, they'd also need to protect it, unless they gain non-tyranid worshippers. Also, this seems relatively easy for the hive-mind to do, so I don't exactly know why they wouldn't have done it sooner, then again, warp energy is technically unusable for the tyranids, since it isn't biological.

i think they already are,the shadow in the warp is the brain. and one could argue their the oldest thing in the warp if they are a manifestation of hunger. if they represent lifes basic need to consume then every single cell that has ever lived has technically contributed to their warp presence. hunger came before lust, anger,and even decay

Hunger seems the obvious answer but maybe also something like dedication since they dedicate their entire being to the goal of the hive, going so far as not caring if they die. Maybe also something like evolution since they're pretty much evolution incarnate

[@Ground_Dirty]

The next question would be: what would it look like? Realistically, it could look like anything, however I think it would be neat if the hunger was a braided ring of limbs and teeth, swirling around a blackhole, a force of nature that greedily consumes anything unlucky enough to drift too close.

Wouldn't a Chaos god of the Hivemind be a seperate mind from the Hivemind and thus potentially fracture the control behind the Tyranid? I could see it happening if a tendril of Tyranid were some how completely disconnected from the rest and through whatever reason or chance focused their evolution toward the creation of a Chaos god to serve as their own new Hivemind... But I don't see it happening as a chosen goal of the Tyranid as a whole. . .

Too easy, barely an inconvenience. Khorne = Wrath (war, violence, blood shed) Slaanesh = Lust (sex, power, possessions, all embodiments of lust) Nurgle = Sloth (doing nothing encourages death and disease) Tzeench = Envy (the envious wish to be or have something else, the very embodiment of change) Tyranid/The Maw = Gluttony (the consumption of all things)

Thats a good question because it points out that the tyranid god would have to be something that can sustain itself even after the tyranid wipe away all biomass. As for the immaterium if the tyranids killed all sentient life the warp would still exist but it wouldn't be populated with as many warp entities.

While the Chaos God of Consumption/Hunger/Devouring would be the consensus of what we think when we try to picture a Tyranid Chaos God, I hesitate to do the same simply because it doesn't encompass everything we know about the Nids. They are, simply, a primeval and meleavlent race that moves forever in the darkness of space to survive. Regardless of the reason why they do it, the all encompassing need to survive is the highest. An ouroborus would, in my opinion, be the charachcature that would embody that. The 'creature that eats its tail to survive, and survives by eating its tail.' Might not be the best, but it fits.

That would make for an excellent end of times event where the Chaos Gods come to realize that their time is up unless they can some how band together with all of their forces as well as all of their Enemies to fight. After all, in a way this Tyranid Chaos God sounds like it would be the MOST powerful of all the Chaos Gods. Think for a sec. Everything the Chaos God consumes he makes a part of himself. Every advantage, every genetic benefit becomes his AND logically is then given to his minions. Thus, if he consumes one of the Chaos Gods, all of what made that God powerful NOW is an advantage of the Tyranid Chaos GOD and in turn ALSO is given to all of his minions. Giving all the OTHER Chaos Gods a massive reason to try desperately to keep from being Consumed (and thus, destroyed). Perhaps the stories would revolve around potential NEW Chaos Gods that come into being and they are the first to be consumed, giving all the Elder Chaos Gods reason to pause and become quite worried. Then take it to a new level where the Chaos Gods actually have to some how communicate with each other to work together to destroy this NEW powerful God only to find his forces are insanely powerful. As the Chaos Gods forces are dwindling down in followers, their worlds being devoured, they now see they have no choice but to seek other help. The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend?
