Tyranid Hive Fleet JORMUNGANDR | Warhammer 40k Lore 

I've never played a War Hammer 40k game, Yet I could listen to the Lore for days on end. Thank you Scholar

This feels like a real world documentary and I'm terrified.

GW wrote themselves in to a corner. Nids are the most munchkin faction in lore if not the table top game. Ridiculously so at times. Then they have to give the opposition plot armor and just survive to a pyrrhic victory that never seems to do any permanent harm.

Do you has a flavor? Tyranids would say yes. Get In The Soup!

32 mins of NOM NOM NOM would have been just as effective an explanation.

I want to hear a story about an Ork world being invaded by Tyranids. Why do the hummies get all the attention?

Your scriptwriting is getting better and better, and it started near the top in the first place.

Kyril Sindermann delivers another compelling tale.

I love tyranids because they're like me. Always hungry, always laying eggs.

Just picture the hive ships slurping the biomass like the hover out of the tellytubbies

This is my own choice hive fleet. Amazing video! You did Jormungandr justice!

26:00 Even Xenos are willingly working with the Imperium to fight the Tyranids.

At last!!! I've waiting for this since the David Attenborough Voice was removed

Damn...you're on fire. I just finished watching the last one. Lol.

Aha lunch time and new video from once favorit scholar 🖤🖤🖤

Jormungandr in norse mythology is the "World Beast" and that's also what his name translares to in old norse.

These stories are so good, thank you for your storytelling. This is a lost art in many arenas.

This was incredibly well made and intriguing video. I realised i stopped painting for 15 minutes and listened

As someone more invested to Warhammer Fantasy, I didn't know how Tyranids are basically skaven.

Another great video, thank you for uploading so frequently and with such quality. ✊🏿🔥🐉

You've got a steady content stream on the go! Keep up the good work, makes a perfect background for cycling to work 👌🏻

Painting this fleet up right now. Love their colors

Such great inflections on this one!

Your quality of video is excellent and getting noticeably better.

Fuck yeah this was my actual favorite of yours. Best Hive fleet

Wow. That was a very great video!

This is perfect and it brings tears to my eyes!! 😢🎉🎉🎉

Good work

Something like this could happen to Us if we continue to send messages into space...

Thanks!

Another beautiful telling

Cool !

Plot armor and the need to sell plastic models are the only reasons the Tyranids haven't consumed everything.

If they make underground hivepools they can already use the worlds ressources to increase their numbers, thus the numbers of "unending horde". This makes actually quite a lot of sense, but I never though of it.

would love to have that Bio Titan Trygon as a model with rules :D

true og channel right here

I would love it if the imperium suddenly discovers intergalactic travel only to realize that Nids have infested nearly every galaxy other than ours. Ultimate grimdark last stand.

I’m saving this for work tonight.

Bravo 👏👏👏

I saw tyranids,,,,,,immediatly excited and a cruel grin on my face lol

My hour long drive to work will be made significantly better with this new lore

the only thing worth looking forward to on a monday lmao 🍻

I miss this one

John hunt, now you can't unhear it

So goos

Ah yes! Jormungandr. My homebrew hive fleet, Nidhoggr, is somewhat based on the more subtle and clever approach. Norse Mythology's Nidhoggr is the dragon that gnaws at the roots of the World Tree. As such, Nidhoggr has a mahogany root like "flesh" and a mossy bark carapace. They also heavily rely on Genestealer Cults known as the Root Eaters to infiltrate and soften up entire subsectors before invasions.

As a non native English speaker, I cannot take the word "utterly" seriously. I get it, it sounds more sophisticated than "totally" or "absolutely". But when it is used in every other sentence, I cannot stop thinking about cows and that's silly

Send in the Helldivers!!!

Tyranids #1

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder why the Giant Space Bugs of Death don't just win more often. Way too many years ago, Fantasy Flight Games had the GW rights to make RPG books, and one line was Deathwatch, where the players would play kill teams stomping around in the Jericho Reach. This typical Imperium edge territory had once been the Jericho Sector, but events caused the Imperium to totally lose touch with it, and then they didn't go do anything about that for centuries. Eventually, some Lord Militant launched a Crusade through a discovered warp gate, and the battle was on. When the Crusade arrived, they found a space seemingly bereft of Imperial worlds; even ones in rebellion, and instead discovered that a massive swathe was controlled by Chaos, while the region to the right of that was being suckered in by the Tau, the region to the left was being swarmed by a Hive Fleet, and some Orks, DEldar, and the like were spotted around, just trying to capitalize, in no meaningful way, where they could. Now, the Imperial forces had to dplit in three, and each separately engage a salient. By the time the game starts, I believe its been like 30 years since the crusade started, and the Nids don't have much other opposition in their salient. They aren't fighting the Imperium AND the Tau, or some Waagh! of Orks, and the Imperium can't even focus on them, because the insidious Tau are enlisting the humans that would otherwise populate the region to work with the Greater Good, and Chaos will taint worlds beyond reclamation, or summon more Daemons, if not countered. The Tyranids are more slow, and predictable, so it feels like they are almost being seen as the least critical threat, that the Crusade forces can just get over to later, even though theyll be more depleted by then, even if they could actually defeat Chaos, for once, or the Tau. So, while some forces certainly are monitoring, and engaging, the Hive Fleet, its basically had 30 years to methodically goble up worlds, and recoup/gain forces, and only one other faction is really fighting them, and not exclusively. Considering it doesn't necessarily seem to take a Hive Fleet that long to strip a world, im really actually a bit surprised that that third of the Reach still has worlds, and stuff for the Crusade forces to fight for, apart from typical 40k writing.😊

Hive fleet behemoth is my favorite hive fleet because of their red underside black carapace color scheme.

What software do you use to generate these videos? It’s awesome quality

Do you think GW accepts requests to name Nid fleets? I suggest Hive Fleet Apotheosis (accession to god hood) and Hive fleet Vespera (latin for evening star)

I wonder what the current oldest Tyranid forum is among our galaxy. A single bio forum or collection of cells that have managed to avoid being recycled into basic soup for the fleets. They can still change their forum through evolution, but the point is they have never been completely dissolved to go back into the general biomass pool, they continue to have their original cells + newly acquired ones and or modifications made. My best guess is probs one of the various massive Bio ships that carry the invasions. Everything that goes down planet side ultimately becomes bio soup again to be drank back up into the orbital mouths of these ships, so with that in mind, I'd figure they would be the oldest and among the physically largest of organisms

Great! Well done

"The hunger of the tyranids cares not for your location" bruh did you just use a Posh AI voice to MEME us in a meme universe? How was that so metal and so fucking silly 😂❤❤

Im jus a lowly guardsman, but couldnt exterminatus not be used to destroy a fire line of dead worlds. The full might of the imperium forces then can be focused on any gaps. The nids would be forced to go another route, or starve, or be destroyed. You could manipulate the tendrils this way, an steer them away.

Question about tyrranids. Does the biomass they consume need to be alive for them to increase their number or can they consume corpses and stuff like dead plants? Just wondering on how the hives even get destroyed at all because they might be able to even eat their own dead corpses and other dead things to grow the hive.

Tyranid content is best enjoyed with a rich bone broth soup

I do really love these videos. Though I don't know if it's just me but those sharp breath affects for the narrator are a little distracting and annoying at times. Most content creators I listen to don't usually have them in there. I didn't notice them till recently, but man once you do it's aggravating at times LMAO. Just a little nitpick though. Awesome vids I love falling asleep to these.

"Temporary alliance between loyalist and traitor forces" once more xenophobia brings us together 😂

i love the name ofit thoe

New lore just dropped

I dont understand. If the Imperium is aware that the Tyranids bury themselves and lay dormant under the surface, why do they not attenpt to rid these hibernating Tyranids to prevent surprises later on?

the untold billions of times you said "untold billions" throughout your vids xD

There are plenty of humans out there with fantastic voices. Use one !

What if it was the imperial fists or space wolves?

Kronos next?

😊

Love the ads every six minutes.

isn't this an old one reuploaded?

... YOU should leave the corpse emperor his slavery and join the one truth one mind Hive ...all for one one for all, rebel aganist oppression ,,,rebel aganist slavery..revolt aganist untrue.....ONe unity welcomes you

Hive fleet: Lasagna

Why does this AI narrator sound so familiar

Is this AI voice over? I feel like I’m getting bamboozled lol

So that bio titan killed mutiple titans whos firepower is just... It IS but they dont focus fire on it? It gets killed by what is essentially AA? Im sorry but dont the Titans have that kind of firepower?

Their quest is not so much nutrition. It is FAR more about survival, about EVOLUTION. Which is why fleets often erase one another, in a strive to become stronger, more durable, more effective. THAT is the main goal. Not mere nutrition.

Hive Fleet Joe man-gardener

Joe mayne gone, dur

Without the Nids interacting/interfering with other major players like Abaddon or The Silent King i won't take the lore regarding them too serious. Are they even a thread to the major players? Don’t think so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just send in Sly Marbo. Solve this useless bug hunt. There are green skins to kill.

Seems like Jormungandr just got lucky at reaching unpopulated sectors of the galaxy. Their strategy is just terrible. To spread out as Tyrannids means losing the main thing why they are so dangerous to begin with. Launching asteroids is pointless as it only works on minor settlements without defenses in orbit or anti-orbital defenses on the ground. Burrowing underground for just 3 days? They just dug themselves a little hole to hide. After failed invasion retreating to underground chambers to breed in? With what biomass? Exists would only get blocked by army units and tyranids would get trapped within with no means to replenish or to sustain themselves. Jormungandr tactics and strategies are just as terrible as its given name. How they say. You do not need to be most attractive, hardest working, smartest or most rich guy in the room. You just need to get really lucky in life. This stands true and for Jormungandr.

First!

Using AI? Hate to see it

All these ai channels popping up

the method of invading does not make sense at all. those colisions would cause massive losses of biomatter, asteroids are like HUGE nuclear weapons

do you really need adverts every 5 minutes???????????

Jeez, that is bad writing. Tunneling is a lazy way for writer to counter everything. A single beast brings down a Titan squad, but dies to AA battery... Like really? Common, give me a tank and I would bring that bio-titan by simply firing at it with anti-plotarmor shell.

Tyranids seem a bit too OP 🧐
