That is suitably brutal for Warhammer. I think they were engineered by someone or something outside the Milky Way Galaxy. Considering how dangerous the fuckery going on here in M41 is, any advanced extragalactic races have a lot of cause for concern. Reality itself being torn open and letting through unending hordes of literal daemons is a problem, which could eventually spread outside the galaxy. The only viable solution is to either exterminate all life in the galaxy, or change it into a form that is inimical to Chaos. The Tyranids definitely fit the bill for a clean up crew perfectly

Probably had the tech for intergalactic travel, and so they left to continue their projects in a neighboring galaxy. Then they created a reset button for the Milky Way, which would be the Tyranids. 60 million years is nothing for an immortal species that can hand craft their own pocket-dimensions, so they sent them our way at a leisurely pace then sat back, cracked a beer, and waited for the carnage to ensue

Thats why the silent king returned cause he fully understood how terrifying the tyranids against organic creatures are.

@@vehx9316 ok and? The flood are the ground up remains of a dead god. They toppled the forerunners, ancient aliens so advanced they surpass even the necrons, so decisively that the only option to stop the flood was to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy to starve them to death (hence the halo array). The gravemind has the collective knowledge of everything it’s absorbed, including the ancient primordials they descend from (halos version of the old ones), and all the strategic knowledge that comes with it. The tyranids can adapt in days? The flood can do it in seconds. Only problem with the flood is that if they get caught in the feral stage they’re pretty easy to deal with, if by easy you mean glassing a continent. All it takes is one flood spore at the wrong time to destroy the galaxy, like say, a backwater hive world with billions to consume? Once a full blown keymind (planet sized flood hive, so think a brethren moon) is formed, which may I remind you wouldn’t be hard in 40k since hive worlds go dark all the time, it be game over, as the flood would have access to precursor tech and begin modifying any vehicles/ weapons/ships they come into contact to be more powerful than anything in 40k. The tyranids are bugs. The flood is a vengeful elder god

Is that new fluff on the gene stealers? In older fluff, individual genestealers were in a bio-stasis pods and were randomly sent out in their millions by the main fleet. The vast majority ended up dying in deep space but a very small number would end up on space hulks or even more lucky(for them) crash on a viable planet, and then the infiltration described would begin in order to get big enough to get the psychic attention of a hive fleet. Scouting implies they know where they are going for a set reason, while this is more random shotgun effect and seeing what comes up.

When you think about it, resistance against a tyranid invasion serves absolutely no strategic purpose since the tyranids consume the dead afterwards anyway. Killing a tyranid does not destroy the biomass, it only disperses it temporarily. At the molecular level, you've got to disintegrate, dissolve or burn the tyranid; any kind of physical force is just wasted effort during the invasion. Once the planet is being consumed, only what you have destroyed to the atomic level does not bolster the swarm, and afaik, the Imperium has no weapon designed to make organic matter undergo nuclear reactions; even a nuke will only transform plutonium, uranium or hydrogen, so it has no consequence whatsoever for the swarm.
