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! For now you can get more Tyranid action with Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/invicta-tyranids and use the code "InvictaGift" to get 2,000 Gold, 50 Blackstone and 1 Requisition Order (Note: expires Mar 29th 2024)

If the world can be terraformed and devoured with gaunts, then only gaunts will be deployed.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I love the lore of the Nids, and the terror that a Nids invasion represent. 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.

    One of the best examples of tyranids, only note would be that guards men wouldn’t have ultramarine rhinos and storm ravens (the ravens are mostly valuable relics at this point), a better option would be touroxs and Valkyries.

    With how the 40k is only dealing with the tip of the spear, I believe there's at least hundreds of billions in total across all active hive fleets, with potentially millions of times more yet to arrive in the galaxy. And, honestly, the Flood music from Halo in the intro perfectly encapsulates the horror the Nids bring, and the horror yet to be brought into the galaxy.

    The tyranids cannot truly be counted with numbers of bioforms, a more accurate scale would be something like volume of biomass. Currently on Earth, there is estimated to be roughly 550 gigatonnes of biomass at any given time. That's enough to make 2.75 trillion 200kg gaunts, and that's just one planet when hive fleets consume dozens at a time plus a substantial percent of a planet's rocky crust for more rare mineral components in constructing bioforms.

Your overview of tyranid weaponry is simple and straightforward while also covering enough depth for the topic and presented in such a way as to make it both easy and badass to understand the bugs. Stoked for Pt. 2 and 3. Warhammer's Ken Burns seems to have arrived, and I'm so here for it.

    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.

    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.
