The Tyranids, also known as The Great Devourer are an extragalactic alien race, whose sole purpose is the consumption of all forms of genetic and biological material in order to evolve and reproduce. Tyranid technology is based entirely on biological engineering. Every function is carried out by living, engineered creatures, each of which collectively forms the Hive Fleet, directed by a single Hive Mind. The Tyranid swarm is endless and constantly evolving, and in any given Hive Fleet there are an endless variety of creatures that have been incorporated into the Swarm. Certain Tyranid units are considered Synapse Creatures, whose job it is to control the lesser species within the swarm and exert the will of the Hive Mind.

If I'm remembering correctly that was specifically the death leaper? I think I remember that from my old 4th/5th edition codex
My favorite bit of lore about the venomthropes: The Battle of Hesp. Some Death Guard and Nids decided to try to out-poison each other on a planet. It ends up so horrifyingly toxic that nothing can survive on the planet (including the Nids and Death Guard) and it just get turned into goop. The Nids assume that means they won, and one of the bioships tries to start drinking the goop that's left of the planet. Its probiscis begins to melt as soon as it tries, and the other bioships nearby open fire on it to destroy it entirely. Yeah, when Nids and Death Guard decide to have a pissing contest over who can poison better they call it a draw, because it is somehow too toxic for either one of them.

The Templars note how in all their time batling the orkz this is the one instance they've ever seen an ork experience pain and fear, unable to fight on, unable to fulfill his purpose and prove his worth. On the other hand, that boy fighting the nids is having the time of his life.

Im not seeing anything that poinys to them being more than 3m tall, and 2.5m is around average space marine height? Maybe they were taller in ye olde lore but if you look at their models or any art in the past 10 years, the space marine 2 trailer is accurate.

If a lictor gains memories and tactical information by eating a prey's brain, would it also gain a prey's crippling depression/anxiety/etc?

GW KNEW what they were doing with the neurolicktor model. Of all the the models we got recently, there was NO promonart for it, zero teaser art, wasn’t even leaked. They kept that shit under wraps, probably because they knew if they didn’t Ian Watson would pop a boner right at GW HQ. They KNEW what we’d do and hid this from us.

One funny tabletop thing about Genestealers is in some editions the statline for Tyranid-Genestealers were just straight up worse that Cult-Genestealers for some reason. Like no buffs or nerfs in different areas Cult-Genestealers just had stats that were straight up better than the Tyranid version like their WS or saves I believe. Only plausible explanation for this is cultists are just good parents making their Genestealer kids eat their veggies and go to bed early for school in the morning.

GSCs are also a fairly horde-y faction so their 5th generation, the purestrains, have to fill the niche of elite infantry since the only things bigger than them are abominants and the broodlord.
Tyranids just want hugs. My Zonethropes love to float up to terminators and give them physic hugs, my Carnifexes hug tanks, and my gaunts love to dogpile everything that moves. I have had to roll for 90 over hugs in a single assault. Good times.

17:48 is the best moment in the show, simply due to Shy riffing on what Bricky said :)
Oh man, on the same day I started building the tyranids half of the leviathan box they post this episode. The hive mind is finally accepting me!
Deep Thrope needs to be an army comp
Violent spasms you say? What about his.. Oh, to shreds you say?
Shy actually got the old Biovore and Pyrovore mixed up. The new model fits the Biovore's described combat role really well, a living mortar/artillery gun so the lumbering squat spider look fits it, looks like it can dig its legs in well to brace for the recoil. The Pyrovore redesign I'm not as much of a fan of, in lore they are described as ravenously eating everything in front of them (including rocks and chunks of metal) and having a REALLY vigorous digestive system that produces flammable gas as a byproduct, which it expels through the flamethrower growth on its back, so the issue with the new Pyrovore is it looks EXACTLY the same as the Biovore except for the gun, it really should have a drooling, agape toothed maw, some big gnarly foreclaws and a misshapen stomach. Biovores I'll probably get a couple but the Pyrovore I will either be kitbashing or 3D printing my own.

Synapse Creature: oh hell yeah I'm a big living Wi-Fi router, my life rocks
I really liked the old pyro/biovore model cuz they were derived from Orkoid DNA and basically weaponized their spores!
I love these ever since I got into 40k so I can learn while working. I'm a little upset that with so many nid videos and even a craft world video a mention of the doom of malantai (my favorite nid story so far) just doesn't exist at least to hear a reaction.
there was an episode of Deadwood that used hormagaunt in a sentence, and it made me smile.

24:43 - It's not just smart tactics, it is a war crime too. 😆
I saw the very first NeuroLictor thighhighs edit literally during the release stream... R34 operates fast!
while the hormagaunt looks and seems like just a gaunt type it is actually quite far removed from the normal gungaunt types for example the hormagaunts lack a digestive tract a normal gaunt has very low carb use and is easy to refill allowing them to patrol the ship hallwayveins but a hormagaunt burns calories like mad, so the hive mind found a way to solve it by making it so it cant eat, it will do its killing now, it also carrys with it the eggs for the next generation so that when it dies in a pile of corpses the eggs can hatch, the larva eat the corpses and grow up to be the next wave of hormagaunts everything unneeded is stripped from these creatures to make them faster and killier distantly related to gaunts, but a lot more distant then it seems by just looking at them, whats under the hood is just all different
The parasite of mortrex is originally from 4th ed (maybe 3rd). There was never a model released for it back then (a lot of things had rules but didnt have models back then) so I took a gargoyle and made my own, first custom model I had ever made, got it to the table once (if even) and then it was removed from the game till 9th ed.
31:00 same, i anyways thought of gene stealers as tyranid lackies.
43:25 So it's kinda like a fly. It prefers to digest its food *before* eating it.
22:58 HOLY SHIT SAME It was mainly the scene where a character slowly sinks into a massive swarm of beetles. Thats the only thing i remember from the movie. After 10 fucking years
DK lore and game balance are never intertwined.
Love seeing more Tyranid episodes
No DK is right! He was thinking the face hugger rip off was similar to the towel think from the Catachan episode! 😂
Great video as always! I hope one day you talk about Warhammer videogames and TTRPG.
Synapse creatures are like cell towers, you need them close to give instructions to the little bugs. Also if you get to close to a Synapse creature it will melt your face off.
44:12 that just looks like a Phyrexian Swarmlord from Magic The Gathering
apart from the next episode covering the large ones, I'd hope for potentially another episode of all the named tyranids where you could maybe go into more detail about them. Parasite of Mortex, Doom of Malan'Tai (dead eldar gotta be great), Old One-Eye, Deathleaper
Sons of Malice could be a fun episode to just randomly throw in if they haven’t talked about them yet. If they have please tell me which episode.
37:30 “Where do you work out?” “The library.”

Greebles (gree- buhls, dunno wtf a gribbly is) are the little surface details people add to scifi vehicles and tech that don't serve any actual purpose but LOOK like they might and make them feel more real rather than just flat surfaces. Like all the little boxey designs and trenches on the surface of an imperial star destroyer. It's a well known term in film and video game design work.

Technically speaking, the “warrior” in the SM2 Trailer was a Prime (but of course still part of the warrior class).
Tyranid warriors are one of my favorite models
I wonder what would happen if the Tyranids magically got to eat the Omnitrix from Ben 10, getting all the DNA inside for their evolution.
I think the issue is you think its holding a gun, it isnt. Its arms are attached to a hive of creatures who are specially adapted to being launched at enemies to devour them, which happens to be gun shaped because the hive mind learns from its enemies
