Maybe there's something left in there of the Old One's staunch protectors afterall *sniff*(also: the idea that the Orks might have been subconsciously showing up in places to defend them from galaxy-threatening dangers all the while, only for the Imperium to fuck it all up by attacking them is... SO par-for-the-course with 40k worldbuilding honestly, if more subtle than most. Tho this raises the question: what danger is lurking at Armageddon to keep the orks coming back?).

Well, Yes, the Orks are basically programmed to take on the biggest galactic threat. Due to their impulse to get into the biggest scrap they can. When humanity was on its genocidal streak during the great crusade, the Orks turned their attention to them and briefly fought the imperium into a stalemate during the war of the beast. Which probably indirectly saved, or at least delayed the extinction of multiple nascent xenos species. And now that the Bugs are a bigger threat to galactic life than the Humies. That same pre programmed genetic imperative to seek out the biggest fight will drive the orks to focus on the Bugs. For while the green skins might be foul and savage beings, who will gladly bully or enslave any weak humies they come across. The genetic programming put into them by the old ones is still in full effect. And by following that programming they will automatically engage the biggest threat to the galaxy at any particular point in time.

My opinion is they're running away from lifeless galaxies looking for more food. That's why they approach from different angles many years apart from each other. If they were truly fleeing some sort of threat they would all be heading towards us from the same direction. I suspect there's more hive fleets currently munching their way through other galaxies around the milky way and they will eventually make their way here if the other fleets don't manage to eat everything first. The only question is how big will the new fleets be. If they've managed to devour lots of other galaxies before arriving at the milky way it could be game over for the imperium. I don't think there's some kind of big bad monster out there scaring the Tyranids towards the milky way, they're just hungry and want more food.

Just saw a battle report on 10th and now this. Since I have 0 interest in ever playing with Nids but do love to hear the lore about them this is really amazing. No need to buy a box that I will only half use. Thanks a lot ^^

Heres some tips on making better sci-fi planet names: Shorten them: Standior or Lastior would have been a better names. Break it up, remove letters and make it sound a little like another human language: La Tstandior, La'andior, Andior, Laststa, Lassandior, Sttandior... Run it through Google translates once: Last Stand into Welsh and squashed together with the "ior" on the end: Stondinolafior. In Basque: Azkenstandaior. In Latin: Novissimestoior. Then chop these down too: Stondafior, Azkandaior, Novimestior.... Or something like that. Works better if you just use one word, tbh. Suddenly you have weird planet names that sound like they have come from something human, but butchered over thousands of years. Words and names tend to get shortened and chopped up to become easier to say over time. So even adding "ior" to the end would be chopped down over time, especially in something like Laststandior, it's such a mouthful! You can see it happening right now. Look at what is happening to country names over time. The United Kingdom or Great Britain are rarely used, instead people say UK or Britain. The same has happened with the United States of America, its more common for people to say US now, not even including the A, or the States. Those eventually start appearing in writing and a generation starts assuming that is the norm. And a few generations and it is the norm. Eventually, given enough time, the original meaning is forgotten or only known by historians. The same would happen with planets over time. Earth wouldn't likely change as its hard to shorten it, but if a regularly used name has more than one syllable, chances are it'll get abbreviated. So, maybe when we start regularly traveling to Venus the s might get dropped over time and a thousand years from now it'll just be pronounced Venu or just Ven or maybe Vens. GW need to think about that if they want to make their universe feel old. Because names like Lasstandior feels about as old as the brain fart it wafted in on.

Brilliant storytelling! I would not want to be on any of those planets during the Tyrannid invasion.

I like the idea of Solblades. Questing heroes and adventurers of the 40k. You could make a Warhammer Quest about it... hmmm...
