Retribution - Heralds of Doom (Tyranids)

Tyranids Mission 7 - The planet Typhon dies.

[@DreamingAboutDragons]

And then the Hive Mind started spawning creatures without skulls, just to piss Khorne off...

[@warhawk9566]

"Skulls for the skull throne!" *Tyranid skulls are now made with cartilage... which decays*

[@IAMELIPHAS]

2:01 Wow that's a... unusually enthusiastic nid right there.

[@Likhos1]

Actually he was doing kindoff philosophy. Taunting the Hive mind would be a bit of a stretch for his mind since a psyker can't normally look (and communicate with) the hive mind without having his brain melting.

[@holdinmcgroin8639]

It probably does pay attention to him, since it considered him to be a very potent threat

[@nevermore7285]

He’s also merged with a daemon of Khorne, which might offer him some protection.

A man can't monologue?

[@sacredcoil]

0:46, Hive Lord is like "wut?"

[@Cynidecia]

"I've prepared a feast for you" In contrast you took away their feast!

[@Sauron0398]

@Emidretrauqe It's Dawn of War 2. I still find it funny that they said they didn't put nids in DOW1 because they couldn't do them justice in the engine. The gameplay there was a lot more suited to nids than DOW2.

[@Emidretrauqe]

I'm sure everyone loves this whole "Tyranid Strike Squad" theme. It must be exactly what they wanted for a Tyranid campaign.

[@HiveFleetHydra]

@tresetatiniephil Different Hive Fleets don't exactly get a long. The Red Tyranids are from Hive Fleet Behemoth, the normal ones are from leviathan, so they'll compete with one another...violently...to ensure that only the best survive.

[@HellrazerGR]

Even Kyras talks to the 'nids! Which part of mindless world devouring horde of mindless xenos mindlessly rampaging through worlds do they not get?

[@Colddirector]

@outlawstar15a2 The Tyranid campaign is already devoid enough of interesting dialogue, it's good they at least had Kyras gloating to Tyranids to make the cutscenes worth something.

[@PNDRazor]

@Alavaria It needs to be near a Digestion Pool to do such

[@Dahxelb]

@Colddirector Sure, the biomass in of outmost importance for the Tyranids and the hive mind.. But the consciousness is within the hivemind.. the neat thing with collective consciousness :P

[@Colddirector]

@Alavaria I guess it's of some importance that their biomass is absorbed so they don't lose it?

[@outlawstar15a2]

@HellrazerGR Calm down, they had to do that. Otherwise the entire mission would be without dialogue.

[@csbatalla]

Those red things Are they Tyranids?? Then why do they not join the party

[@furiousfinch1587]

Disruption of the hivemind. They literally cannot hear the hivemind's voice telling them not to attack other Tyranids. Without the command of a hivemind, Tyranids go ballistic on EVERYTHING.

[@Gojira-ch5bx]

And tyranids fight each other, don't forget that

[@Alavaria]

why couldn't the hive lord just die and respawn anyway? I mean "teleporting" is dying...

[@furiousfinch1587]

Requires a digestion pool.
