For me I still love that while chaos and the imperium have to sneak a bomb like device on the Dark Throne and suicide to destroy it, the Tyranids just overwhelm them in sheer numbers.
"There is no retreat!" This speaks volumes when fighting Tyranids. If you don't stop em' right then and there. There will be no stopping them period, and if you somehow get away? They'll still find you and devour you and what's left of your crew. To quote Admiral Briggs from Black Ops 2 "You can run, but you'll die tired."
Man, with so many characters used to fill up the dialogue (since having the Hivemind speak would be a bit goofy) it makes me a bit sad that we didn’t get an Ork and Eldar campaigns.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 For me it wasn't nightmare fuel, just marble gargle. I would have preferred an echo-y voice, as though a large intelligence is focusing its attention on your character.
Im so happy you posted this, I can't find any other tyranid movies. There was one old one but it was deleted. This and the necrons are my two favorites.
The visuals in this game are so satisfying. They did great visualizing 40k space combat. Also did great with the ORKY SPIRIT I'm also still confused on how this works. Are you playing Tyranids but the story happens from the POV of the enemy? If so, that's an awesome way to do a story like this.
Every campaign has voice acting. Most campaigns (Imperial, Necron, Chaos) you get to hear their characters advance the story. The tyranids are a silent protagonist (it would have been totally weird to have tyranid ships talking to one another when supposedly they're basically ants working as a hive mind). They pulled off a great way to have story progression while maintaining the tyranids' silence - everybody else talks and we get to listen to what they're saying.
@@Kain987 more like silent antagonist, playing as the tyranids is literally reverse horror. In 40k there is no horror like a tyranid invasion. leviathan winning a victory of this scale dooms the entire galaxy.
@@sniperplays6616 When you see all those sectors turning pink on the overmap with that music playing throughout does make you think "they are so fucked"
Tyranid vs. Necron space battles make me shake my head. Necrons use technologies created during millions of years of the greatest war the galaxy has ever known, and they use shards of star-eating gods like Pokemon or batteries. Necron tech can fire black holes or streams of antimatter, teleport, and even their basic guns tear other race's war machines into constituent atoms in moments. Their mightiest weapon in this game is planet-sized and can seal galactic-level tears in reality. Tyranid spaceships bite and spit. But apparently they are REALLY super-duper good at it. The scenes of them ramming into ships remind me of that guy standing in front of the steamroller in Austin Powers.
Necrons hard counter Nids on most every front in genera warfare, the only way the Necrons lose the war with the Tyranids on the grander scale mostly comes down to whether the Tyranids can devour every last trace of biological life in the milky-way before the Silent King can enact his own goals or not, an entire hive fleet coming down to bare on a singular Necron Dynasty (one of many) that stands alone they could probably squeak out a win at great cost, course unless the Necrons were explicitly interfering the more likely outcome would be the Tyranids fly by their territory completely ignoring them since they'd be uninterested in their metallic warframes. All of this isn't even canon anyway though so yeah lol.
Well if the theories of them devouring entire galaxies are true, then there's a reason why they're matching the Necrons. If a single galaxy can create the Necrons, then who's to say the other galaxies they've devoured don't have their own equivalents?
Well, the Celestial Orrery is still a thing. So it's just one dynasty lost. Pretty sure Necrons still can wipe the Hive Fleet from existence if they decide to.
@@AyoKeito The Orrery is used like a garden shear, not a damn weapon. And even then, I'm pretty sure there are more Tyranids than there are planets and stars in the Milky Way if they've consumed entire galaxies worth of biomass prior. The Oruscar Dynasty might end up destroying the galaxy using the Orrery before they could kill all of the Tyranids.
Holy Emperor That final cutscene Love it as it the shit is now really getting real The nids are coming And no one gonna stop em Also os that kast planet supost to be terra Never could tell
@Ruosong Gao yea i see what u mean And then again there would be one hell of a fleet/orbital defenses etc Im guessing its m3ant to be more of a "we need to warn them no one knows the tyranids survived in there" and thus warn the imperium as whats coming
Interestingly, Tyralean, the guy who ran when Darkhammer and Cambrius died, was reassigned to a defense station - a unit incapable of running - by the next time he showed up in the story. A bit of punishment, perhaps?
Funnily enough, if this ever did happen in WH40K, the Chaos Gods wouldn't allow it and just open warp storms all over the Tyranid fleets to throw them all into the immaterium.
If they actually had that ability, which they don’t. If the hive fleet arrives in full the eye of terror would probably be forced closed by the hive minds will, similarly to how smaller rifts have been closed by hive fleets shadows.
As soon as she said escorting refugees, any immersion I had was gone. Honestly, it just isn’t 40k enough, seems more like StarCraft, where there is someone to care. 40k be more like “we saw the remaining survivors stood no chance, and so their straggling wouldn’t dull our fighting capabilities, we turned our guns upon them, leaving as little biomass behind as possible to deny the hive mind a free meal.”
It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable ≠ every man woman and child is a bloody-handed psychotic You can even see how Imperial forces make the Admiral’s heroism futile, when Cambrius abandons the fleet to die. Infinitely more grimdark then just killing refugees for shock value
They were escorting the billionaires and 'valuable people' from the system under attack. Not actual refugees, just the ones that could afford to leave or were considered critical war assets.
That's what I call "Grim Derp" not Grimdark. Basically, 40k is actually _the exact opposite of what you just said._ Humans will _ALWAYS_ want to help other humans. It's kinda in our nature to do so.
no, that would be grimderp as fuck. also they all got eaten anyway which is a better way to handle the grimdark thing: they tried to save them, they desperately tried to save themselves and got eaten alive for their trouble.
As much as I love me some buggy boos. This just turned into a chore to watch. It was like watching a John Cena match. The bugs never lost a single vessel.
It's not like you can have some traditional dramatic story of overcoming the odds here, the villain might as well be a mosquito swarm, they lose a segment, they don't cry about it, you can't really make it high stakes or cathartic
