such a boring character

vagrant fox
#

just get rid of the imperium at this point

storm jungle
#

read actual commissars like Yarrick or Raine

#

my favorite part is how hard thye try to also make Cain a good guy

#

because we just cant have our Guard protagonists do evil shit

#

lmao

gleaming gale
#

God forbid a book tackle another genre outside criticism of the modern political thing(tm)

vagrant fox
#

The crime of the Cain books is being dead boring more than anything

storm jungle
#

Being evil is a "modern political thing"?

#

Also god forbid we want our readers to use their brain

instead of applauding for space wehrmacht lol

rancid cove

LMAO

#

yeah Cain is nothing but the same jokes every day

hes my all-time favorite commissar i think

vagrant fox
#

Hesh, based Katarin, Hasp

storm jungle
#

^

#

the author really understood how to humanize yet still keep Commissars evil

#

Hesh's entire mindset is "I must kill hundreds to save thousands"

vagrant fox
#

Hesh is up there near the top spot for me, definitely

rancid cove
#

Maybe they'll lessen my hatred for the guard

storm jungle
#

you'll deffo like Death Rider

#

its a very miserable and non-glorious guard book

#

but still a very funny read

vagrant fox
#

why hate guard when we have based Jopall

storm jungle
#

mortgage

vagrant fox
#

Not much of a genuine reason to actually hate any faction as much as I joke around, try to see the cool bits in any of them imo

storm jungle
#

Its literally just Tau for me and its less dislike and more "Im just not interested"

#

id prob be more into them if i read on em but uh my brain is as loaded as it is, but id never hate them outright like a moron

rancid cove

As long as the mechs stay away I genuinely like the Tau

I struggle the most with Tyranids, there's cool bits but euch

rancid cove

I want to learn more bout nids as well but theyre just kinda confusing

#

Very interesting faction tho

#

Me like GSC a lot as well

storm jungle

Nids are very simple

#

you just play them because big monsters

#

prob the most simple 40k faction lol

vagrant fox

Big bugs that eat stuff

solid horizon

they have a lot of infantryslop as well

storm jungle

thats space marines

space marines are not a horde army

vagrant fox

infantryslop is so cool

storm jungle

they got like 1000000000000 units

rancid cove
solid horizon
#

shut up book nerd

#

diversity does not equal horde gameplay

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

GSC hierarchy is also very easy

#

the chart itself is on lexi iirc

#

think of them as walking killer wifi modems

rancid cove

All I know is patriarch acts as a beacon for the hive and also he kinda controls the cult like a mini version of a hivemind

storm jungle

Yeah its the sole leader

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

you can see uh

#

why people think GSC is very cool lol

#

they are VERY intricate

vagrant fox
#

They would be so much cooler to me if they weren't so intrinsically tied to Tyranids, fire GW for this insult

storm jungle
#

Wdym

rancid cove
#

Aint like

#

Their whole purpose to be tied to nids?

storm jungle
#

I think i know what he means

vagrant fox
#

It's a nitpick but I find their ties to the tyranids a bit boring is all

storm jungle
#

but i wanna hear it first

solid horizon
#

bro just wants a construction workers faction

rancid cove
#

U wanted them to be completely separated from nids despite being created by them?

vagrant fox
#

Boring is perhaps the wrong word, it's that I struggle to like the tyranids and they're tied to the tyranids. I know they can just leave before the planet gets eaten but w/e

solid horizon

GSC could so cool if they werent bad blooded midgets with huge heads

Duke Severus has long been known as a master of hymnal manipulation and public relations. He is militarily ineffective and weak, but is really good at 'feeding' the very appreciative heretical news false information. Now, abominable intelligence has become another disinformation weapon that the Dominate uses, quite well, considering they are being anihilated by the day. They showed phony 'fire cruisers,' shooting at various ships in the void, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these cruisers don't exist - it's all false information to show houw 'tough' their already defeated military is! The five Battlefleet Calixis Troop Transports that were supposedly struck and badly damaged, according to the Hyperian Quotidian's false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon cross the void. Bases and voidships that are shown to b e on fire are not - It's HERETICAL NEWS, generated by abominable intelligence. For instance, the Severan Dominate, working in close coordination with the Heretical News, shows our great Fist of Adamant, one of the largest and most prestigious ships in the Sector, burning uncontrollably in the orbit of Hervara. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at - the Dominate knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly HERETICAL and, in a certain way, you can say that those heretical outlets that generated it should be brought up on charges of HERESY and TREASON, for the dissemination of false information. The fact is, the Severan Dominate is being decimated, and the only battles they 'win' are those they create through abominable intelligence, and are distributed by secessionist news outlets. The venial noble houses of Calixis knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That's why their approval rating is so low, and I can win another Crusade appointment, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive noble approval - They have no credibility! I am thrilled to see Marius Hax - Calixis Sector Lord, looking at the accusations of some of these corrupted and highly disloyal 'noble' houses. They get billions of Thrones of FREE imperial voxwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in news and almost all of their pictgraphs, including the Late Night Sermons, who get gigantic salaries for horrible ratings, and never get, as I used to say in De Tactica, 'EXECUTED.' Thank you for your attention to this matter! Lord General Militant ARMIG GHANZORIK.

Will we ever get a story from the tyranid hive mind perspective?

wary fulcrum
jade holly
storm jungle
#

the best way to do a Hivemind POV is to have some central protagonist faction dealing with an invasion with very regular secondary chapters from a Hivemind perspective

#

its doable its just that no one does it

midnight dragon
storm jungle
#

why a Hivelord

#

do you mean a Hive Tyrant?

arctic talon
#

That’s not the hiveminds pov either

#

Hive tyrants are sapient and sentient entities

All the Tyranid synapse creatures are

#

And their minds(might) be recycled for all of them

#

They’re definitely recycled for Hive Tyrants

#

But it’s unclear if it’s done so for lesser synapse creatures

midnight dragon
midnight dragon
#

Why?

arctic talon
#

Synapse is how the hivemind exerts its will on the more idiotic/animalistic tyranids

You can’t have a literal animal do delicate infiltration work

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Synapse

Synapse is the Tyranid Psychic Power which unites all of the Tyranids into the Hive Mind.[1]

Synapse is projected by Synapse Creatures which are usually leaders such as Hive Tyrants, Tyranid Warriors and Broodlord or specialist psykers like Zoanthropes. These creatures have greatly increased synapse networks within their cortex and these act as psychic conduits for the Hive Mind to order nearby troops. Without the Synapse guiding them, most Tyranids will revert to a feral state, although some, such as Genestealers with their Brood Telepathy, can perform just as well without Synapse as they do with it.[1][2]

midnight dragon
#

Yeah I just looked at all their miniatures on Warhammer.com I was wrong im sorry for my stupid question

arctic talon
#

Known Tyranid synapse creatures not turned into one via a Norn Crown are

Broodlords, Dominatrix, Hive Tyrants, Maleceptor, Neurogaunt Nodebeasts, Neurolictor, ravener primes, Tervigons, Tyranid Warriors, Zoanthropes, Neurothropes

#

The funny norn Crown is a way the hivemind divised getting around everyone's strategy of "shoot the synapse creature" by implanting a parasitic entity inside the skull of another tyranid

#

which then turns that tyranid into a synapse creature

#

most notably its been done with carnifex's and gaunts

midnight dragon

But like

yeah the synapse is like

literally wifi in a sense

I had a nid player call his synapse creatures 5g towers

Why not just use biological warfare then

arctic talon
#

Tyanids adapt to biological warfare

#

fast

Just realized the translation of The Stranger i'm reading was translated by Matt Ward

#

So do you think bio warfare from humans would work

storm jungle
#

Nids when you use chemical weapons:

midnight dragon

We can't just have a war of the worlds moment and just infect with with covid 40,000?

storm jungle
#

"My favorite."

arctic talon
#

My favorite

arctic talon
#

lol

#

its why the imperium really doesn't want to use biological agents against tyranids until they have literally no other option

arctic talon
#

because 99% of the time it goes horrifically wrong

storm jungle
#

The only way to defeat Nids is to either

  • Wage war on them with HUGE forces (this rarely ever happens unless its a big warzone)
  • The Fleet you are facing is small enough to intercept and destroy (this is usually the explanation when Imps need a win)
#

the moment a Hive Fleet makes planetfall its usually game over

arctic talon
#

you forgot the third option

#

bullshit wonder weapon shit out for a codex entry

#

See: the funny Tau bio acid aids plague mcdeath

#

and also the Imperial version of that

storm jungle
#

lol yea

raven stone
#

There is one story about an Ad Amech dude who defeated a Tyranid fleet by setting the atmosphere on fire.
Now, the Ad Ad Mech codex makes it a case of Ad Mech being stupid and sealing that guy’s victory away in a secret vault.
But consider the reverse.
(1) The Tyranids evolve to become fireproof.
(2) The Hive Mind learns to set atmosphere on fire…

#

For once Ad Mech hogging all knowledge might have actually done some good.

midnight dragon

storm jungle
#

they stored that strategy in a data-lbirary

and lost it

#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

also yeah they just fucking lost it

#

in the data vaults of mars

storm jungle

arctic talon
#

that shit is never being found again except entierly by accident

raven stone
#

Well ok they lost it, but still, might be better remaining lost, considering Tyranids.

arctic talon
#

also the conditions to set the atmosphere on fire

#

were pretty special

#

the nids had a ton of spores in atmo + the atmo was super fucking polluted

#

and full of **o i l **

#

but yeah the fact they lost it is yet another admech moment

This is warhammer for all you know there's a literal world out there where there are giant monsters that breed fire

#

there are even giant dinosaurs capable of humbling titans in this shit

arctic talon

Whenever tyranids become completely resiliant to something

#

it usually costs more biomass to do

#

or causes other issues

#

it can be exploited

midnight dragon

But the issue is by the time you can try you've usually been attritioned down to fucking nothing

#

lol

midnight dragon

What are you even trying to say

midnight dragon

Like

arctic talon

but you don't need to become completely resistant

#

not with the scale tyranids are working at

midnight dragon

They were implying that fire can never be used on them again

arctic talon

the hivemind/Nornqueen usually just go "good enough"

midnight dragon

storm jungle

Put it this way 2 orcs that are usually angry at each other fight each other until tyranids rain down

they decided to team up and now you just have the biggest shit show

#

or they will just proceed to kill each other again who knows

midnight dragon
#

Yeah but they teamed up against rhe nids, once they are gone, orks aren't exactly known for their loyalty to each other so like

#

That alliance could easily shatter

#

Yk?

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

queen laurel
#

literally that's how it's gonna roll out

storm jungle
#

Orks unite and bond loyalty once they have a good leader

queen laurel

either the orcs lose or the nids to lose

#

orks are built for fighting

#

they fight each other because they want to prove who's better and stronger

midnight dragon

That survive
