The first Tyrannic War would be the perfect intro to the WH40k universe for the Amazon show. First few episodes being simple imperial and mechanicum investigations of Tyrum. They really should focus hard on this, how IMPORTANT it is they study this wonderful, beautiful, but dangerous world. For maybe three episodes. . Then the Tyranid Invade and this beautiful world is ruined, turned into a nightmare and ending in bloody fucking death. Then the Inquisition as it deals (badly) with the incident. The corrupt nature of Imperial Worlds and how feudal it is. Along with the limitations of its "magic". And then Finally, at the FINALE, the introduction of the Space Marines in the Siege of Macragge. The first season needs to ram home this is not star trek. Despite how desperately humanity wishes it was. The tragedy of 40k is how much it WANTS to be Star Trek. But it just can't. Because the cruel universe won't let it. And it must, by circumstances, rely instead upon the raw violence that comes from humanities will to survive. Rather then explore.

[@jaxxchang-weinberg4684]

I was thinking that the first season shoul be centered around the 4th Tyrannic War (I.E what’s happening right now at the time of this post in the lore). Because what better way to sell the shear grim darkness of 40K than starting off with SEGMENTUM SOL UNDER SIEGE. We haven’t seen Terra in this great a danger since the War of the Beast, and there is even rumors of the Last Wall Protocol being activated to defend the throne world. It’s also a great way to introduce the various characters and factions. Such as the Solblades, imperial task forces lead my imperial hero’s of renown like Morvenn Vahl, Kayvaan Shrike, Belisarious Cawl, Arcadian Leontus, and Trajann Valoris. Not to mention the various Xenos faction (particularly the Necrons, Eldar, and Ork) are taking an expressed interest in the war. This all makes a good jumping into point because there isn’t too much of a need to have a deeper understanding of the lore. Just know that bugs are after Earth

[@Vasilefs_Terranorum]

To be fair, the Inquisition handled it about as well as we can hope for. If not for Kryptman and his relentless investigation the Imperium may never have been warned until it was too late. The entirety of Ultramar may well have been devoured without the vigilance of the Ordo Xenos. But on the whole, I couldn’t agree more about it being an ideal starting point into the franchise.

[@stephenwood6663]

I'd love to see Chaplain Cassius as one of the viewpoint characters in such a show. He's faced Genestealers, sixty five years before, on Ghosar Quintus, when a mere handful of them succeeded in bringing down a prosperous Imperial mining world. He knows exactly how subtle and dangerous they can be, how even one of them is capable of tearing a fully-armoured Marine limb from limb in a matter of seconds. And thus time? Not only are there tens of thousand of them, but they brought air support.

[@DjapeKostic]

Hmmm yes

[@exnihiloadnihilum5094]

​@jaxxchang-weinberg4684 Narrows the setting down way too quickly. The importance of Terra to the setting is not felt or known so the gravitas of the unrecognizable Earth being under threat would bare little weight. 40k works best with the older themes and big "center piece" people, locations, and events are barely rumors to 99.9%: The Imperium of Man is a decaying monolith spread too thin across a vast galaxy. Terra is a whispered holy land, home of your god. His Angles are spoken of only in legend and you have only seen them in frescos within cathedral walls. Recognizable names like Yarrick are from far flung worlds and may only be propaganda. All of humanity's greatest heroes are dead, damned, or lost. You toil as your father did, and his father before him, to feed the ever demanding tithe. Then the skies darken with horrors beyond your imagining. Win or lose, there is no saving the galaxy; just delaying the death. No matter your rank, status, or station of birth; no matter how courageous or cowardly your heart, no matter how hard you rage against the dying of the light: you are just another corpse in a trench while the cold distant stars continue to turn in the heavens.

"An alien threat has risen from beyond the abyss, a swarm so vast that it blots out the stars. This horror fights neither for power nor territory, but rather to feed a hunger so insatiable that it will be eventually devour the entire galaxy." -- Inquisitor Kryptman

[@TheCyanAngel]

I always love that the Necrons hard counter the Tyranids so much in lore that the Nids will go out of their way to avoid them. Necrons do not use The Warp for anything so are immune to the communication and travel interference the Nids create, their weapons never run out of ammo and don't care how much organic armour the Nids evolve and their corpses leave nothing for the Nids to scavenge. But it's not that the Necrons are "designed" to beat them, the Necrons precede the Nids in both lore and real world development it's just the logical conclusion of two very different existences, the Necrons simply dont exist within the same rules the Nids exploit.

[@Khanine1]

While I agree that the Necrons are a counter to the Tyranids for all the reason you lay out, I tend to think they’re not a ‘hard counter’. This may just be me arguing semantics and such but I always think that a hard counter would mean there’s no way the Tyranids could possibly win if they went to war with the Necrons, which personally I don’t think is the case. What the Necrons really do is reduce the Tyranids to the level of any other species. They make it so that the Tyranids lose resources on any battle, even if they win, which is the same cold calculation every other species needs to make. This can be contrasted with the usual MO of the Tyranids eating their own dead, and their enemy’s dead, to make a net gain from every battle they win. If the Tyranids lacked the sheer numbers that they do then this would indeed be a winning strategy for the Necrons, but the number of Tyranids appears to be unfathomably vast, even if we ignore the potential for them to have galaxies of reinforcements. Not to mention that the resources expended on destroying a tomb world (which would likely take whole tendrils), could be reclaimed through consumption of uninhabited feral worlds. It’s true that the Tyranids avoid Necrons when they can, and that one to one (or even a thousand to one) the Necrons should win, but I think this is like how Behemoth avoided attacking Tyran until it had built up enough power to face the Imperium. The Tyranids are going to go after the ‘easy’ and resource-rich prey of Man and Orcs etc. first, then deal with the Necrons. Not saying the Tyranids will win, just that it may not be as one-sided as it seems from just looking purely at how effective the Necrons should be.

[@TheCyanAngel]

Sure if the nids abandoned their strategic goals they could "win" against a Tomb. That's why I said in lore the Necrons hard counter the Nids. Yes Nids could force Necrons to abandon their Tombs but from their behavior in lore we know they don't take fights that result in a loss of biomass.

[@nicholasbrown668]

Zareph returning to fight the Tyranids could either help the Imperium or could turn into another Octarius War. Either way, it remains to be seen how the Imperium can benefit from it’s enemies fighting each other.

[@TheTeremaster]

@@operationangel7940 Nah it'd never be another Octarius. The Necrons fighting the tyranids is a complete positive for the imperium. It weakens the necrons and even if the tyranids win, they don't gain anything because Necrons have no biomass to harvest. They're quite literally the perfect anti tyranid weapon which is why the hivemind avoids them like the plague. The only concern is the silent king awakening his people and dabbing on the tyranids too hard, since then the Imperium has a fully capable Necron empire as an opponent, but since he was already going to awaken his people anyway, it's not a huge problem

[@unholydude]

I believe that only an STC containing weapons from the dark age of technology/Golden age of mankind can save the imperium at this point.

[@-Bill.]

I wonder, though, whether they might actually make mutually beneficial allies. The Hive Mind has to recognize that lacking all technology is a weakness in the end. Perhaps they could offer to try to help engineer a way for the Nekrons to return to the flesh. At the very least, they actually have no overlapping resource requirements so they could work together, with the Nekron getting to carry out their plans while the Tyrannids get to consume the biomass.

[@Nickname-hier-einfuegen]

Necrons seem to be the perfect counter to the Tyranids. They're not organic. They aren't affected by the warp shadow, because they don't use the warp. They are highly mobile and can use portals to instantaneously move forces from across the galaxy to react to invasions. And probably most importantly: Necrons are immun to attrition warfare. You can't starve a tomb world. And Necrons can neither run out of ammunition nor warriors. All destroyed and damaged Necrons just teleport back to their tomb world for repairs and then march through the next portal to continue the fight.

@@Nickname-hier-einfuegen not only are the Necrons unusable as biomass since they're not fully organic, Necron weaponry in turn disintegrates biomass. So the Nids can't even recycle their own biomass to fight Necrons so all in all, it's a net loss for the space bugs.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

One thing we learned recently is that Hive Fleet Tiamet have built and are heavily guarding a hugely psychically powerful, continent-sized organic superstructure that seems not entirely dissimilar to Black Spires or the Astronomicon. They may not need the beacon anymore. Everything so far was scouting parties securing a foothold.. if that structure really is a beacon, the *Real* Tyranid force could soon be coming, led by their OWN Astronomicon... Or if its a Black Spire, Tyranids might have found a way to harvest biomass from/stop incursion from daemons, (a thorn in their side as they can't normally obtain biomass from them so its always a net loss for the Tyranids to fight them.) Furthermore, another theory is that it will extend/make permanent the Shadow In The Warp, cutting off that entire sector. Imagine if they're doing that in multiple locations. Imagine trying to stop them then, when you can't warp, can't communicate, can't use psychic powers. Every world. Utterly alone. Until they're devoured..

​@@karlsjunior395if I remember correctly the song is in the description of several of the Greater Terran Union videos I think its March to War?

[@finalfalcon7368]

Yes! Yes! I love the way twmplin institute covers 40k. The tyranids are also probably my favorite part of the series.

[@Alex-lt5ho]

Imagine being a senior (experienced) tech priest who has met an entirely new foe, and you make assumptions about said foe even after dealing with such things as chaos where it is unpredictable and hard to understand. Man really did it to himself. He fumbled the bag on a galactic scale.

[@CthomasMega]

I really wanna see Templin cover Splatoon. That lore is WILD

[@mitchbarton4921]

Love these 40k videos! Can't wait for the next one(s)! Maybe you can talk about the lore surrounding the old ones? or maybe the disputed 5th god of chaos Malice?

[@firstcynic92]

There is but one way to defeat the swarming creature. Surrender to the Necron. We will scour all life from the galaxy and starve the swarm. Abandon your hopes. Abandon your fears. Abandon your lives. Give everything to the NECRONS.

Madness

[@firstcynic92]

@@TshepoNkadimeng5 Yes. It is madness to not give in to the obvious logic of surrender to the Necron.

[@quarkedbutt3957]

This is amazing, you should have a playlist of WH40K lore, the institute's out to in discription of events is a nice change to lore.

[@hewdelfewijfe]

Ya know, with how rare and valuable life-sustaining planets are, which is true even in the Imperium, you think that the loss of a dozen such planets would be more than a low priority investigation.

[@boomstick7506]

Is this a sign the show is coming

[@DetectiveLance]

Nah, the 10th edition of 40k just launched with the Leviathan box set, marking the start of the 3rd Tyrannic Wars, so just smart planning ahead on TI's part to take advantage of algorithm trends.

Templin blessing us with the best faction in 40k, the Tyranids

[@vinzvendivil1049]

For the final act of man shall spell death to all of the galaxy from the Craftworlds to Commorragh, from Armagedon to Octavius, Solomnace to Thanatos and The eye to the homeworld of the Tau the Imperium Falls all falls with it.

[@Robert_Douglass]

This horrifying shot lasting from 34:35 to 35:00 paints a seeming hopeless picture as the camera pulls away from our beloved and sacred Avalon Galaxy further and further away, only to reveal a heart-stopping mob of tendrils and tentacles *_larger than even the unimaginable vastness of the galaxy itself._* _"And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem, to be born?"_

[@kangtheknightx]

As someone who loves the Tyranids, they always do my boi the Swarmlord dirty. He bodies Calga at CSR,, and that should have been the end of Smarty Smurf. Instead he gets no credit, and doesn't even get mentioned in this telling. Maaan.

[@peachypietro9980]

The more I observe the 40k uni, the more I think to myself, "The imperium and the tyrannids are both ugly. They can just destroy each other, and I'm fine with that."

[@scp-2348]

Now here's a possible outcome when the Tyrannids enter the Terran system: The Emperor gets a window of opportunity to leave the Golden Throne and resurrect because the Daemons in the webway gate powered by the Golden Throne will be suppressed by the Shadow in the Warp except for a few powerful one like Skarbrand and Kabandha.(I forgot the other 3 gods' favored princes) Terra and its forces are severely destroyed while giving time for the Emperor to fully ascend into a new Warp God of order.

[@DartNoobo]

So if warp gods are supressed by shadow in the warp, then what aevantage does it bring to the emperor to be become one? He will be just supressed immediately as well.

[@Vasilefs_Terranorum]

The Emperor would sooner die than become the very thing he fought so hard to destroy. He will live again and will lead humanity to victory as a human, not a god.

epic! i never tire of hearing this classic

[@lordwarryl5712]

With my love for Kaijus, these space bugs speaks to me. They are really simple yet effective. It even works in the table top in which you are the hive mind. Despite lack of character, these Kaiju swarms eating away anything in its trails is still cool.

warthunders economy was recently fixed, so the grind isnt nearly as terrible as it used to be, try it

Okay, Warhammer 40k is a lot darker than I first thought

[@TheChuckwagonLite]

I'm just getting into the books, and these videos go a long way in helping me understand the universe. Thank you

[@flak8882]

I'd recommend going though alot of the old stuff first before tackling the Heresy, reading in chronological order its a mistake. Better to pick up hints and clues about the paste before getting all the details. It makes the big moments much more impactful.

[@kingmike_gamingvods]

We need videos on the other Tyrannic wars

[@danielingraham7880]

I remember reading this Codex in High School. One of the best things WH40K ever produced.

21:06 Thought thay was the gtu theme about to drop then Amazing vid as always ✨️

[@stephenwood6663]

It's not 100% accurate to describe Genestealers as "a strange new form of Tyranid infiltrator": Chaplain Cassius, who would go on to become the Master of Sanctity of the Ultramarines Chapter, had faced them sixty-five years before on Ghosar Quintus, though it would not be until the Second Tyrannic War that he would come to fully understand the connection between these creatures and the Hive Fleets.

[@kingnaga619]

I would LOVE more of these

[@michaelthayer5351]

From a Grand Strategic view the arrival of the Tyranids was a crisis without equal for the Imperium of Man. For Ten Millennia before, even though there were countless trials and tribulations, the survival of the human species was rarely ever in doubt. The Greenskins, though fierce and numerous, were disunited and scattered. The Archenemy, though cunning and cruel, were limited to the Eye of Terror or scattered isolated holdfasts, their periodic incursions though filled with carnage and suffering were unable to withstand the full weight of the Imperium when it was finally brought to bear. The Eldar and myriad other Xenos, though inscrutable, were nonetheless of such limited numbers as to pose little more than a nuisance. Truly until Hive Fleet Behemoth the only true existential threat to the Imperium had been Abaddon's Black Crusades when the bulk of the Traitors united, briefly, under one banner, always halted and driven back as forces from across the Imperium rallied. But now with a threat just as deadly rising from the Eastern Fringes, the Imperium is now is torn between two fronts. Such that now instead of there being reserves and stockpiles to call upon to drive Chaos back to the Eye, those same resources are now desperately holding off the Tyranid Swarm. Truly it is no wonder that the Despoiler's greatest successes came after contact had been made with the Tyranids and the High Lords had been forced to commit the Imperium's strategic reserves to stemming its monstrous advance.

What you're saying is the Canadian military works for the Templin Institute now?

[@ryanrobbins2363]

Love you guys getting more and more into 40k

I am hungrier than a Haruspex for Tyranid lore! And the institute has provided a FEAST!

"You're surrounded by active duty members of the Canadian armed forces" "they are all very polite" Yeah that checks

Please do the Republic of Gilead!

If you want to get right to the lore, skip to 2:28, and don't forget to sign up for War Thunder! Edit/Addendum: I noticed that the captions don't seem auto-generated. Prior script transcription?

So many channels have done the first Tyranic war and it never gets old

[@avinashtyagi2]

Do a video on Hive Fleet Tiamet and Ymargl Genestealers As well as the other three tyrranic wars

Damn, I would love to watch 40k shows and movies, especially ones featuring tyranids.
