Just don't experiment too much on the Tyranids. Remember what happened in "Imperial Armor Volume 4: The Anphelion Project".

[@Codex_0613]

what happened?

[@jhonnoilcringeincarnato8593]

Can you tell us what happened in that volume?

[@xSuperiorManx]

Basically an event that shares similarities with the "Alien" movies/theme. I'll just quote the Lexicanum entry for a general overview. Note however that this short read doesn't do the atmosphere justice that is created inside the book, with all the photographs, maps, stories etc. I love all the Imperial Armor books, but this one is my favorite. "The Anphelion Project was a classified operation based out of Beta Anphelion IV conducted by the Inquisition's Ordo Xenos to investigate the Tyranid threat. Collecting samples from various captured and deceased Tyranids, the Inquisition hoped to find some weakness in the creatures that could potentially save humanity from the Tyranid menace. However in 850.M41 all contact from the research facility of Beta Anphelion ceased, leading to an investigative team of Red Scorpions, Adeptus Mechanicus, and Imperial Guards led by Inquisitor Solomon Lok to arrive on the planet. The Red Scorpions terminators swept the three labs and the command facility. Magos Biologis Arthon and his team analysed the records and discovered what the facility's purpose truly was. It was built to find a way to counteract the rapid-evolution tendencies of Tyranid creatures. Huge areas spreading out from the labs were cut off from the outside. These were where the Tyranids had been kept. But for reasons unknown, the fence had failed. The Tyranids had escaped, overrunning the three hundred man garrison. When the terminators swept the lab complexes, they encountered genestealers. Now there could be no question. The Tyranids were here. The first order of business was to reactivate the containment fences. The Elysians had the task of escorting a technical servitor to repair the generatorum. As the servitor and its guard reached the generatorum, the Tyranids attacked. The Elysians held off the Tyranids as the servitor repaired the generatorum. Back at the command facility Lok found in detail what had happened. The Tyranids had been small specimens. They had shown aggression at first. When the samples in one area had started to evolve wings, the area was purged. Then the Tyranids in another section vanished. A failure in the containment fence in the third section loosed the Tyranids upon the moon. The creatures had hid in the jungles and swamps until they reached sufficient numbers to overwhelm the labs' garrison of three hundred. Meanwhile the Cadians at one of the lab complexes were attacked and overwhelmed, with them Biologis Arthon. At the command complex the Elysians were attacked from below by Raveners and a Trygon and a force of Elysians and Cadians were attacked by Harridans. The Red Scorpion terminators attempted to return to the command complex but floating spore sacks caused them to crash-land. The rest of the chapter's forces, in defiance of Lok's orders, set out to rescue the terminators. They arrived to the clash and roars of battle; the terminators were surrounded. The relief column made a successful rescue and returned to base. They arrived in time to aid the garrison who had again come under attack. After the fight, the Red Scorpions received orders to evacuate themselves, and only themselves. The transport requisitioned for the mission refused all of Lok's requests, stranding Lok and the small force of survivors on the moon as the Tyranids closed in. In the last battle, Lok succeeded in taking down a Hierophant Bio-titan, only to see two more stride out of the ammonia fog. Lok was killed along with the Beta Anphelion rescue team, and the Imperium has since lost all contact with the world." Addendum: Lok was actually betrayed by his superior, another Ordo Xenos Inquisitor who was behind this heretical Tyranid science project. He wanted to find out why the contact to the base was lost and at the same time have Lok gone, who he feared was trying to raise in ranks and replace him. That's why the Red Scorpion Space Marines (under Commander Culln, not yet interred in a Dreadnought sarcophagus at the time) received the orders to only evacuate themselves and let the others die, so that nobody would ever find out. But not enough: in another plot twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan, the end of the book reveals that the Inquisition intercepted and decoded a message from Loks superior to his servants and found out about the whole thing. However: as questionable and forbidden as the Radicals work was, it provided much needed progressions in the fight against the Tyranid threat (the Red Scorpions were specifically chosen as well, for testing their capabilities against this foe). So as long as the near-heretical Inquisitor continued to be useful, he would not be executed... yet.

Emperor is a GIANT!!! Bigger than a Primarch!

[@maukka1545]

You know The Emperor doesn't really have a limited size. That for sure is not him though.

[@maukka1545]

@@lkvideos7181 Magnus the Red, Vulkan and Mortarion are the three tallest Primarchs. Horus and Perurabo have their massive Terminator armors that make them look extra big in artwork especially. There has been talk about The Emperor being actually the size of a normal human but creating a psychic image for him to look larger than life, you know, to make himself awe-inspiring.

[@maukka1545]

@Elder One Where'd you get this info? Also can you explain why a Grey Knight is taller than the standard marine?

[@maukka1545]

@Elder One As far as I know, Grey Knight's use their own variants of the "normal" tactical marine armour (Aquila, Errant) + they have their extremely fine crafted tactical dreadnought armor variants too. They shouldn't be taller because of the armour though. Also, again, as far as I know, the GK geneseed has nothing special in it (except being crafted from the genes of the emperor himself ofc). Their psychic capabilities are not because of the geneseed.

[@Hasus16]

3:07 Is that Emperor himself?!

[@ShadowNetBG]

Most likely a shrine in his image. Seems too big to be the Emperor himself. :)

[@Hasus16]

@@ShadowNetBG Yeah, I think it is too big for Emperor but stil this has some tubes behind him and his left hand has same position like in picture of him on throne and in TTS videos ;) "What did you bring here?"

[@ReaperofValhalla]

I never liked how video game media of 40k fails to capture the true horror and dread of this universe. It always made whatever main threat there was to the story turn out like a push over. For example... Yes we defeated the forces of x, y and z but they will recover from the major ass kicking we gave them and return in several centuries so it’ll be our great grand kids duty to do the same. In the novels there was always a sense of uncertainty and feeling of regret or pointlessness to it whenever the imperials achieved “victory” at one important battle or another.
