The Horrific Stages of a Tyranid Invasion in a Prey World - Warhammer 40k Lore - The Great Devourer

How is it that the Tyranids are able to consume entire planets and eat stars? In this episode we will explore all the horrific stages of this terrible invasion process, beginning with the Infiltration of specific organisms and culminating with the consumption of the planet itself.

My favorite and most brutal theory about the tyranids is that they have already consumed most life from other nearby galaxies, meaning that the milkyway could very well be alone in terms of sentient life and i think its just so depressing it wraps around the being cool again

[@randomcenturion7264]

I also like this theory because...Fuck, this is it. We're all that's left. Just one last stand against the uncaring hunger of eternity.

[@thekhornate8888]

another one Theory is that the Nids are an old one creation or the hive mind is an old one created to wipe the galaxy so they could restart it

[@jakeg3733]

That is suitably brutal for Warhammer. I think they were engineered by someone or something outside the Milky Way Galaxy. Considering how dangerous the fuckery going on here in M41 is, any advanced extragalactic races have a lot of cause for concern. Reality itself being torn open and letting through unending hordes of literal daemons is a problem, which could eventually spread outside the galaxy. The only viable solution is to either exterminate all life in the galaxy, or change it into a form that is inimical to Chaos. The Tyranids definitely fit the bill for a clean up crew perfectly

[@thekhornate8888]

@@jakeg3733 I think this is why the Silent king is particularly concerned about the Nids more than even Chaos and the warp, I think he knows that they are a creation of the Old ones and possibly an Old one is out there still, like if I remember right the Old ones came to the Milky way, they weren't originally from the Milky way

[@jakeg3733]

@@thekhornate8888 It would make sense that at least a few were left. A species that powerful isn't going to let itself be wiped out, this isn't the Precursors from Halo. Probably had the tech for intergalactic travel, and so they left to continue their projects in a neighboring galaxy. Then they created a reset button for the Milky Way, which would be the Tyranids. 60 million years is nothing for an immortal species that can hand craft their own pocket-dimensions, so they sent them our way at a leisurely pace then sat back, cracked a beer, and waited for the carnage to ensue

“Oh no, a tyranid invasion fleet! What could possibly be worse than this???” A single flood spore🗿

[@vehx9316]

Yeah those things are just like scouting parties. An entire invasion is fleet is just a scouting party. That gives you an idea of the magnitutude the galaxy in 40k is dealing with.

[@mysteriousstranger5873]

@@vehx9316 ok and? The flood are the ground up remains of a dead god. They toppled the forerunners, ancient aliens so advanced they surpass even the necrons, so decisively that the only option to stop the flood was to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy to starve them to death (hence the halo array). The gravemind has the collective knowledge of everything it’s absorbed, including the ancient primordials they descend from (halos version of the old ones), and all the strategic knowledge that comes with it. The tyranids can adapt in days? The flood can do it in seconds. Only problem with the flood is that if they get caught in the feral stage they’re pretty easy to deal with, if by easy you mean glassing a continent. All it takes is one flood spore at the wrong time to destroy the galaxy, like say, a backwater hive world with billions to consume? Once a full blown keymind (planet sized flood hive, so think a brethren moon) is formed, which may I remind you wouldn’t be hard in 40k since hive worlds go dark all the time, it be game over, as the flood would have access to precursor tech and begin modifying any vehicles/ weapons/ships they come into contact to be more powerful than anything in 40k. The tyranids are bugs. The flood is a vengeful elder god

[@mysteriousstranger5873]

Just to note, I do like 40k, I actually recently finished reading infinite and the divine, but it is not nearly as op as people think it is. Like master chief could definitely solo a squad of space marines in the right circumstances, and so could even like a random guy with a phaser from Star Trek (bit of an exaggeration lol but still, spacemarines have been killed by goobers with spears, so they’re not and have never been the end all be all)

Newbie to the Warhammer 40k lore. I thought the hive fleet “tendrils” were actual tendrils of some giant lovecraftian like entity. That’d be a cool and horrifying theory 😱

[@zergrush_9704]

All hive fleets together are representation of one big lovecraftian creature with tendrils, so you are right. Many books told about it.

[@ThomasTheArachnerd]

@@zergrush_9704 Ohh dang! So that is terrifying!! 😱

[@SlimeBlueMS]

It's basically one giant literal hive with trillions of tyranids that shoot out like "tendrils" and concentrate on eating specific areas of the galaxy at a time

[@redcorsair14]

Is that new fluff on the gene stealers? In older fluff, individual genestealers were in a bio-stasis pods and were randomly sent out in their millions by the main fleet. The vast majority ended up dying in deep space but a very small number would end up on space hulks or even more lucky(for them) crash on a viable planet, and then the infiltration described would begin in order to get big enough to get the psychic attention of a hive fleet. Scouting implies they know where they are going for a set reason, while this is more random shotgun effect and seeing what comes up.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

I think it's possible that the Tyranids use both methods. Remember, Lictors gain the memories of individuals they eat. All it would take is a Lictor to eat an Administrative person and now the Hivefleet knows approximately where every Habitable world in the subsector is.

On one hand tyranids seem so awesomely incredible in their adaptability and diversity of specific roles and tasks.

[@momom6197]

When you think about it, resistance against a tyranid invasion serves absolutely no strategic purpose since the tyranids consume the dead afterwards anyway. Killing a tyranid does not destroy the biomass, it only disperses it temporarily. At the molecular level, you've got to disintegrate, dissolve or burn the tyranid; any kind of physical force is just wasted effort during the invasion. Once the planet is being consumed, only what you have destroyed to the atomic level does not bolster the swarm, and afaik, the Imperium has no weapon designed to make organic matter undergo nuclear reactions; even a nuke will only transform plutonium, uranium or hydrogen, so it has no consequence whatsoever for the swarm.
