True Size of a Tyranid Invasion (Part 1) 3D Documentary

A 3D visualization of a Tyranid Invasion. Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/invicta... and use the code "InvictaGift" to get 2,000 Gold, 50 Blackstone and 1 Requisition Order (Note: expires Mar 29th 2024)
In this Warhammer 40k video we bring to life a Tyranid Invasion. This begins with an overview of the Tyranid Species and their Hive Fleets which have begun to overrun the galaxy. We then look at the various bioforms which accompany the stages of a planetary invasion. The first phase is one of reconaissance. Here we discuss the lictors, leapers, and genestealers which are commonly sent to udnermine and gather intelligence about a target. The second phase is one of islation. Here the appraoching Hive Fleet will blanket the region in the vast Shadow in the Warp which will block communication and travel. The third phase is the first assault wave. Here dropships, spores, and combat forms will reing down on the planet to secure key objectives in anticipation of a major assault upon hardened positions.
Let us know what you think of this format and what documentaries in the Warhammer 40,000 universe you would like to see us cover next.

This was probably the most fun the team has had making an episode so far. They really went all out in production and I can't wait for us to get onto the more advanced stages of the invasion where we can showcase the larger and even titanic Tyranid bioforms!

Fellow tyranid player here. Just concerned the planet in question isn't productive enough to be defended by much. Result, sub par assault ending with medium large. Titan grade weapons on an agri-world (or equivalent) on the fringes?

[@musicninja98]

@@johncaddick5075 my understanding is that the hive only deploys the forces necessary for victory and in response to opposition. If the world can be terraformed and devoured with gaunts, then only gaunts will be deployed. If the opposition has weapons that can't be overwhelmed by the gaunts then the hive ships will deploy what is necessary to do so. E.g. Bio-titans to take on Titans.

[@johncaddick5075]

@musicninja98 Agreed, that's sort of my point. For a good cross section, including bio-titans, we need a pitched battle on a key world. They've set the invasion on a fringe world. Maybe if it was tyranids vs. a forge world, then we would see the biggest of nids. IMHO, biggest thing I can see deployed on the current world is carnifexs or hive guard.

[@musicninja98]

@@johncaddick5075 I took the scope to encapsulate the typical world for the average human. The dread of the Tyranids is not the super massive bio-organisms, but the unending hordes of lesser Tyranids deployed to out-Guard the Imperial guard in 300 to 1 battles. Also, this is part 1.

[@elrondhubbard7059]

The most terrifying thing about Tyranids I think is simply their extra-galactic origin. On the largest scales the Milky Way isn't a huge place, and the entirety of the 40k world/history/lore takes place there. The fact that Tyranids are appearing to arrive from intergalactic space means they've come from another galaxy in order to feed. It could be that they've stripped thousands of similar galaxies bare before arriving to ours. Or maybe they originated in the Andromeda galaxy and we're their very first intergalactic victims. The point is, their history is completely unknowable to any character from the 40k verse.

[@stevenmtaylor21]

Old lore had someone try to listen out beyond the bounds of the milky way and all they heard were Tyranids.

[@elrondhubbard7059]

@@stevenmtaylor21 Worst case scenario, basically. Probably why they didn't continue that narrative thread into modern lore.

Better to just let questions like that go unexplained.

If CA ever somehow makes a Warhammer 40K Total War game. I could see the Tyranids as the quintessential horde army. The fact that they go from planet to planet, taking over and then razing them to the ground and making off with plunder would make them the best horde faction in all the games.

[@tominieminen66]

Yeah... I wonder what they would do if they ever consume everything there is, would they just wander around searching endlessly until running out of energy and biomass? Maybe they are like the metal skellies and they would fall into deep hibernation, waiting for the universe to replenish What about the Warp? I guess it would slowly die off since there are no tasty emotions, unless they can or learn to harness some kind power from the tyranids I guess orks would be hard to completely get rid off, so they might become a seasonal nuisance to tyranids like viruses are to us Although I feel like tyranids might just be thorough enough to kill and consume every spore of orky goodness Maybe the species will become hybrids and tyranids become fragmented and an eternal civil war between them erupts, since the fightiness instinct of their ork side becomes too strong to ignore And combining all the powers of both species is a terrifying thought

[@lenkagamine4145]

the tyranids are written in such a way that it kinda becomes a plot hole that they dont just win literally every fight they've ever been in. Like they're just so monumentally more powerful than every other faction its kind of silly, the spore dropping alone would be enough to bring any given world outside of Eldar and Necrons to their knees, and the basic troops they have are already well armored and well armed by warhammer standards, with an overwhelming numerical advantage. Then, couple that with how the Shadow in the Warp just hard counters half the other factions... Tyranids vs. the entire galaxy united together would be an easy victory for the tyranids based on the lore as written, it wouldn't even be close. Tyranids have every conceivable advantage, they counteract their enemies psychic abilities, they prevent them from communicating or moving, they outnumber them, outgun them, have far more tactical and strategic flexibility, adapt faster than anyone else, have more intelligent commanders, perfect organization, perfect discipline, and perfect communication, and no matter how many of them you kill theres an essentially infinite number that havent even reached the galaxy yet. You might as well be trying to fight a tsunami with a handgun.

[@MrChuks84]

They wouldn't win if every other race combined forces to fight back. Chaos would just unleash unlimited numbers of daemons and IG would come together to form massive defenses. Also, if all Necrons woke up and joined the fight and blocked nids from organic life forms being attacked, the nids would have no food and would starve. CSM and space marines would act as shock troops targeting nids where their forces are strongest and making them scatter. Eldar would use immense psychic powers to overcome the hive mind while t'au and dark eldar would do hit and run attacks

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

This video is not just creative and very, very well made but also gets across the true existential horror of the Tyranids and how mind-numbingly terrifying they are if you're an average guardsman. There is no stopping them. They cannot be beaten. They cannot be pushed back, only delayed for them to return with a hundred, a thousand, a million times the numbers they had before if you catch a lucky break like with the Devastation of Baal. They will return and there will be no resisting them when they throw entire fleets at you like its an average Tuesday for the Hive Mind. May the Emperor protect us all.

[@lenkagamine4145]

honestly its hard to find something scary when they just, are essentially invincible. Like you just get to the point of acceptance at some point, based on lore as written tyranids would just win and there really should not be any possible way to defend against them. If something is certain you become less 'afraid' and more 'Eh, what happens happens' at some point.

My only problem with them and why I never was interested in the faction on tabletop, is how silly they are: their ranged bio-weapon generally look like guns. I understand that it is easier to represent, but it makes no sense for bio weapons. They should be somehow parts of the body. I do love the genestealer cult it is so scary when you think of a hive city.

Just a small tip / tidbit during the simulated assault, calling the garrison undermanned and inexperienced, and then showing Ultramarine Thunderhawk's, and Rhinos in the first skirmishes, assaults, i believe would be inaccurate, Space Marines, despite the table top game are extremely rare and would likely not even be present as part of the garrison. And if they are, this is a planet of significance and the Garrison would be formidable, otherwise, really well done, this was a fun / great watch.

Love you bring up Luten. Love his channel also Good looking out Invintca

[@underlordd]

That gave me goosebumps. amazing work.

All Warhammer 40K content is welcome for me and in this case, being from the Tyranids, it has been totally informative; one could know or have vague ideas about the matter, but with this many things become clear.

[@Roogy_Raja]

What an incredibly detailed and well balanced video! I am definitely subscribing and watching whatever else you create for Warhammer:)

[@GenuinelyHorriblePerson]

One of the few times ive been happily surprised by an ad in a video 😂 i didnt know about tacticus but it looks fun. thanks man. And of course the rest of the video was great. Well i havent actually finished it yet but i dont have to to know its great.

[@krismi1755]

Nice, you’ve teamed up with tacticus team! My fav game

[@stijnvantongerloo9122]

I love the beautifully crafted Dune and Warhammer videos you've been putting out recently!

[@EkcotheBeholder]

I need part 2 ASAP!!! This was awesome

[@Atlashon]

These are amazing video concepts beautifully executed! Thank you!

[@starlightdragon2665]

I remembered playing StarCraft Brood War a long time ago; and recently got the remaster. And the opening scene of the Marines in the trenches against the Zerg... I can imagine the horror of guardsmen being abandoned by their fellows as Tyranids close in from all sides, and there is no escape. Fighting Tyranids at night in the dark with no way to see them or fight all of them off; on top of casualties that can't be easily treated or helped as biological weapons attack the bodies from within.

Great video! Can't wait for the next one!

Very interesting presentation! About a year ago I got obsessed with WH40k lore, although never having played (I have painted minis in the past, but just for artistic reasons). Tyranids kind of fascinate me in the same way dinosaurs did when I was a kid, so I love learning about them especially. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.

[@UkumeleGaming]

I've been an invicta subscriber and fan for ages and the production value and content of this episode were wildly enjoyable. Please keep it up and I will continue my tidlewave of (likely insignificant) likes and viewing!

[@user-vm3bj4gs2s]

Could you please make part 2? This video was soooo good, I really want to see anouther.

[@Interheavin]

Great video, cant wait for the next part. Love Tyranids.

[@whiskyyy2532]

This is the exact content I've been searching for on yt for years. More tyranid lore plz!!

[@Kindrin]

I love all your content and definitely appreciate this series. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but this is fabulously deep well of content to pull from. Hopefully there are other IPs you are looking at for the people who aren't fans of 40K.

[@johny11150]

Drop part 2 ASAPPP. This is SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!❤❤

[@seanurquhart3179]

This was so good. Well done.

[@superpokerman]

Please don’t forget about part 2. ❤️

[@martinakesson2043]

Well Julian, those resources will definently be of good use getting through my Indomitus Mirror Campaign, so thank you for the effort 😺👍

[@russellmellott452]

This is amazing work.

[@Red13aron]

You guys make great content ! Hoping to see a True Size for an Ork Waagh and a Chaos Warband/Heretic Uprising or a Necron Tomb world .

[@harvestblades]

I love this channel & this 40k content is amazing! Whether you just play tabletop or read the novels it really aids the imagination as you get a sense of scale, the strategy & tactics employed by the Tyranids.

[@01Durhamguy]

This was absolutely fantastic!

[@zodbones]

This was a pretty cool documentary style video that explains the tactics of the Tyranids very well.

[@Luciphell]

Can't wait for part 2!

[@anegativeatheist-9327]

Fantastic video! I can’t believe I haven’t found this channel before now! Liked and subbed🎉

[@HakuDeathgood]

I love your videos and cant wait to see more 40k related Videos! But i wished in that Video, or maybe later in the second one, more informations or more specific views to the various Weapons and its amonition with pictures and explainations. I know there are very many weapons, but its a heavy part of the Nids that the weapons and ammonitions is alive and very carious, too.

[@casualsailing5140]

This is the one I've been waiting for! 👍🏻

[@user-mj3nw2er8o]

cant wait to see part 2

[@knpwnall]

Subbed, looking forward to part 2 and 3 ^^

[@leonbrown99]
