Id love to see a showdown between those two

Pretty sure the hive would eat it anyway. Doesn’t matter if it’s alive or dead. Just wants that bio matter. I’d like to see chaos resign to making treaties and alliances to try and stave off the hordes.

I must disagree. The Doom of Malan'Tai has shown that Tyranids are capable of feeding on souls. Perhaps Chaos can be fed upon in similar fashion.

It's always dangerous to use biological warfare against the Nids. More than one story mentions them being attacked with life-eater viruses to great effect only for the Nids to use the same virus against them a few years down the line.

“none have ever returned” The Silent King shall remain silent on that matter. I guess

[@CteCrassus]

In my opinion, the reason the Tyranids no longer ignore Chaos is perfectly logical: Before, Chaos had been nothing more than a minor irritant, something that could be safely ignored unless they were directly provoked; But with the opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum and the subsequent scattering of Hive Fleets through the Warp, Chaos has managed to upgrade itself from "minor irritant" to "credible threat" and thus elicited an immune response in the form of increased aggression and specialized anti-warp counter-measures such as Hive Fleet Kronos.

[@rafaelbogdan9307]

I think the Tyranid switching from wanting to ignore Chaos (pfffhah, nice try!) to aggression is merely a logical reacton. Chaos will make itself a nuisance to everything it can, and they've convinced the Hive Mind that a passive response is uneconomical.

The only difference for us "Nid players" between the Empire and Chaos is if we want beef or lamb chops for supper. Because outside of a slight difference in flavor and texture, you are ALL nothing but "supper" waiting to be served on the platter. That is the most fun about playing as a "Nid player". Being able to consider your foe as simply different meals for supper. From the "salad" of the Orcs, to the "bread roles" of the Tau, or the sweets of the Eldar, or the pallet cleaning Necrons. You are ALL supper, and the only difference we have to keep in the Hive-Mind is just how many of what force we want to send out to do the "pickup order" for us. (Meaning that the only REAL difference between the factions, is how many units of what type you use to play against them)

[@hydra1259]

[@iancowan3527]

As for fighting Tyranids... Easy, but very hard... Lightening! Normally I would say fire... but shells can defer the effects of fire long enough to reach what the fire is protecting. Lightening holds the burn/flaming effect while adding additional range due to the arching chain effect as the electricity reaches limit/ground... With foreseeable results like zapping an entire Spore Cloud and burning them all at once! Or having a barrier that until its fully grounded out would fry anything that reaches - for a LONG TIME! Think bug zapper that never stops sizzling! Power supply, the shear durability of equipment, and ability to withstand the smell of burning the primary factors!

[@Garroshable]

Crazy theory but what if: The Tyranids are a creation of remnant Old Ones who fled the 40k galaxy after the loss of the War in Heaven. With the plan being to collect all the biomass in the galaxy and leaving a clean slate for these Old Ones to come back and recreate the galaxy as they think it should be.

[@zergrush_9704]

if this is so, then the Tyranids should have known where our galaxy is, and not go to the light of the Pharos beacon.

[@Garroshable]

@@zergrush_9704 But the Pharos Beacon was made by the Necrons originally so you can easily take it as the Tyranids homing into the greatest threat that the Old Ones knew about.

[@zergrush_9704]

@@Garroshable they would be here already if they knew where it is, you think old ones created them to collect biomass in our galaxy and didn't say where it is?!

[@myduckisonqauck7227]

​@@GarroshableThat's not a crazy theory, literally everyone speculates that, BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR YOU!

[@Garroshable]

@@zergrush_9704 Well IF we assume the Old Ones made them and sent them towards the Galaxy they could have done this tens of thousands Millenia ago if not hundreds of thousand. Which would mean they couldn't be sure of the exact location of everything within the galaxy over such a long period of time. So you could take it that they knew about such devices or at least knew enough about Necron technology to allow the Tyranid Hivemind discern it and know what it represents. ( I don't actually think this is what the origin of the Tyranids is BUT it is allllllll lining up quite neatly. The Old Ones did make/influence a number of the races in 40k, with the Orks being surprisingly similar to Tyranids. Both being dedicated to conflict/having racial gestalt psychic fields and both having unique interactions with their own genetics, the Orks having an inbuilt racial knowledge and the Tyranids able to genetically modify themselves enmasse. Really it's the creation of the Orks that makes the Tyranids seem like Old One creations, having an even greater racial gestalt psychic field and skipping out the need for any level of material technology and just going full bio-tech, which resolves one of the Orks biggest weakness of needing other advanced civilisations to pilfer scrap from otherwise they struggle to move beyond the Feral Ork stage.)

The tyranids are growing on me, I like the way Blizzard did the Zerg where they dont use "gun like" weapons and dont walk on two legs they really feel like they use alien bio weapons. But seeing some animtions and artwork the Tyranids have their own special charm.

[@TrappyJenkins]

The men of iron would be uniquely well suited to dealing with the nids. as they leave no bioforms to consume. I would suspect theyre at their most vulnerable when they attempt to reclaim matter from a planet. If you could grey goo one of their biopools. Have nanobots that turn anything they touch into more nanobots, the nids would have no adapation for that. They also seem to use the same material for their armor, over time you should be able to take apart the bonds holding together the shell material. With the power levels the imperium is working at, moving and creating black holes should be trivial. If you can create a wall of black holes, you can slow them down in travel. Also you could weaponize the warp. Go into the warp without moving to avoid their counter attack, then pop out to ambush them over and over again. Im curious how the nids would even hold a galaxy. Would they make bioform slaves to produce more bioforms? seems wasteful.

[@morezombies9685]

Tyranids work on a cellular level so I would assume they'd in turn create life forms capable of destroying the bots. Nanobots are just tiny robots after all. They are still capable of being destroyed like any other. Essentially they'd create an immune response to the nanobots once they learn of their existence.

[@mannofdober873]

Back when Dawn of War II came out and I was first getting into 40k, I just saw the Tyranids as another cool xenos army. A swarm of bugs that just wanted to kill you. Hmph. Nice and simple. Would make good fodder for Space Marines. Yeah no. Fighting Tyranids would be actual hell. You could be impaled, torn to shreds, paralyzed, poisoned, eaten alive, eaten alive from the inside out, eaten alive from both the outside AND the inside, stomped on, melted by bio-plasma, mind-raped, head-sploded, hooked up and reeled in, vaporised by psychic attacks or, if you're especially unlucky, swallowed whole and alive and agonisingly digested over several days. All while fighting a foe that has superior coordination to any army ever, superior mobility as all of its heavy ordnance is mounted on mobile platforms, and superior logistics as the dead from any battle can just be recycled into more Tyranids. As I said, not fun.
