@@williamdavis5711 but not to the scale of the tyranids the tyranids are Xenomorphs on meth speed and every drug ever plus powered by hunger like pacman to those little white dots
Alternative version: Xenomorph: "We are a hive mind." Tyranid: "We are The hive mind." Flood: "We fear no man... But those things? *points cilia at the Tyranids* They scare me."
@@jeixsdaier9265 The Flood have conquered 0 galaxies, made tries for the same one repeatedly. Tyranids meanwhile have assimilated their way around to the point that they seem to have Surrounded the galaxy 40k takes place in, which means they've helped themselves to at least a few. Or put another way. If someone tried to do to the tyranids what they did to the flood and wipe the whole galaxy of higher organic life? The tyranids dont care, they dont need highly complex, intelligent life to feed on, any ol source of plentiful biomass is just fine for them.
Xenos don't need a host but for balance reasons that's the only way it's ever shown. And if it doesn't use a host it is always a royal alien so queen or ravager/carrier.
@@coryyoung7544 for a second when you said just "xenos" I thought you meant Tyranids since in Warhammer they call all aliens "xenos" as in tau, necrons, votann and even orks
Xenomorphs just need one Tyranid to have the same abilities as them. Like that Xeno-Predator. Best case scenario they would be locked in an eternal battle. Worst the Hivemind of the two would ended up fusing or something and just become a bigger menace.
@@addictedtocookies9152 nah bruh, 40k its so over the top tyranids wouldnt even register xenomorphd as a challenge, it would be just another feast of biomass
If you shoot bullets they get armor if you shoot lasers their armor becomes reflective if you lose a soldier they gain four you lose ground they gain mass you send a god engine they take it you just can't win
Mostly because they can't feed out of the nids since they don't really have individual desires and the nids desire to consume everything and if they will succeed with that they will eventually starve
Y'all 40k fans are the most successful drug dealers I've ever met. I started watching a video series just to learn 40k lore and so far I only love the Black Shield faction.
@@isaiahwilson4943I can unironically test to this statement because before I knew 40K I thought it was just Star wars but egdey but after knowing more about 40K I am trapped in this lore rabbit hole like seriously 1/4 of the channels that I'm currently watching are all 40K related
Nope the flood are so much worse they are Eldritch horrors once they get to the hivemind stage. The flood itself is a corrupted god and when it gets to a high enough stage it regains it's abilities over space/time.
@@csineskywelcome to Warhammer what kind of apocalypse would you like today? Our special for the day is "angry mushrooms mixed with giant space locust with a side of daemons" it's very good
The scariest thing about Tyranids in my opinion is that unlike Xenomorphs that seem to be more animalistic, the Nids seem to have an intelligence behind them one that understands us and our fear. There's a story where they wanted to invade a world and as they normally do they try to soften it first to make it easier to invade. Unlike most invasions though they only sent one Nid. This single bug murdered everyone the planets governor knew about and drove him mad just to cause instability on the planet. They could've just slaughtered the leaders of the planet but they chose to torment this one guy to cause mayhem.
Yup, it was a lictor called deathleaper. It's one of the rare cases where the tyranids have a unique being with its special abilities and tactics (and even personalities). Deathleaper is straight up malicious, and while all lictors are great terror weapons, deathleaper seems to be able to come up with complex, devastating plans like this one.
It get's worse, Tyrandis are capable of infecting normal humans with their genes, meaning those people will live on, procreate and breed more humans with Tyranid genes that can be influenced by the hive mind. They'll then start a revolution against the planetary authority by encouraging the common man to rise up against their oppressors just to destabilize the planet and make it easier for the Hive fleet to eat. This bastards are insidious.
Xenomorphs have high intelligence too and even have certain soldiers that have specific personalities are viewed as the elite xenomorphs like the predalien
@number-14 been that way for years. Oh, and the Queen Mother on Xeno Prime has universe scale telepathy, I believe. She also has an adult human level of intelligence. It's an interesting species
Nat the flood is the definitive example of a hive mind. Basically the nids on steroids because they could steal the memory to every single one of their victims and Dane the ability to control reality itself at the most powerful
@@dksafdaryet the flood would still annihilate the entire nid fleet. If the tyranids have a nervous system then they are f***** that means every nid that dies it becomes a new flood form
@@VeraTepes my favorite part was where the angels excelsius fleet was getting destroyed and their chapter master was basically like “gabriel, if you don’t get the feather of sanguinius and your chapter out of here i’m going to reanimate myself and beat your ass.”
@@mastershellv6103 that didn't exactly end well for the Eldar though, yeah they won but they lost almost all of their guys, a common thing when a major Tyranid invasion happens
only happy ending i can think of is the time a necron lord teamed up with space marines and then fucked off of the planet without further engaging the space marines after the hive fleet was defeated
@@Arandomperson1327 idk man, the scale of the warhammer univers? The imperium, the forces of chaos, the orks, the neurons, even the tao could all erase every xenomorph from the galaxy in a weekend, and the only reason it'd take a weekend Is because it can be hard to find xenomorph sometimes
@Fatalbeast22 One inquistor with 1 Deathwatch kill team could stomp them out in a weekend, maybe a month if its a multiplanet infection. Xenomorphs are scary to real humans, but in WH40k they'd be little more than a nuisance. It's like someone in a Demon Hunters thread saying those demons/oni would be a major threat to the Imperium. One Grey Knight would eradicate the whole lot overnight. Some things do NOT scale the way you think they do lol.
@@brainfreezzzze6900scarlet king is ironically worse then chaos, cause at least with those things you can bargain with, scarlet king? Nope the chaos gods need mortals to survive, the scarlet king wants EVERYTHING dead probably also including himself
@@theenderdestruction2362 yeah I can see that. However Ones actually got a direct connection to the universe so in the event that scarlet king does decide to get off his ass that would be true.
There's no combining them, Tyranids already have the ability to have acidic blood and their genestealers are superior to xenomorphs in every way (They psychic, they can tear tank armor like it was tissue paper with their stupidly sharp claws and they have no need for a bulky queen or hive). A xenomorph, if its not a queen, can only do so much damage to a civilisation. Any single tyranid genestealer meanwhile is able to infect the local dominant life forms, compelling them to breed and create hybrids who can continue to breed more hybrids that get closer and closer to passing for members of the dominant life form, once perfect mimicry is achieved further generations produce purestrain genestealers who can be transported by their loyal hybrid kin to other cities, worlds etc to potentially undermine and weaken a whole species for easy assimilation and digestion by the true tyranid swarms.
@@themanwhocantbemovedbyatru1988 What this guy said, and the xenomorphs dont have a fleet . . . Which kind of says everything needed about what the xenomorph genes would have to offer that the Tyranids dont already have. Which is to say they have nothing to offer except being used as raw biomass to make better killing organisms.
At least when he read up he didn't compare the two unfairly. Tyranids are fucking horrifying and eating your face is just plan 1. They have 1000+ other plans, a true hive mind where everyone in the species is constantly connected. They mutate based on what kills them and then fights back to consume. They are smart enough to kill Chaos because not only is it poisonous to them but Chaos kills the biomass they want to consume. The Tyranid hive is absolutely evolved for maximum killing and consuming potential. They will do whatever is necessary to consume.
The tyranids are literally the forces of chaos’s biggest threat cause if they eat everything, there’s left to sin so he’ll will eventually burn itself out and die
@@bigswordlittleman3770 They didn't make a fleet specifically to deal with Chaos. They happened upon Chaos one day and then adapted with every lost life against that specific faction. That's how the Hive Fleet Kronos was created: They adapted from losing enough bodies and literally the only reason they're even doing anything about chaos is because Chaos threatens the viability of the Biomass which exists in the regular galaxy. Since they cannot absorb things without biomass, they adapted to Chaos troops and fought them to protect the biomass.
@@crazedbutcher6672 bro they have a supporting fleet made to take just the bare minimum of what they need to keep going from a planet so that Kronos can come over eat it and go deal with chaos. They also changed their tactics from mostly melee and some ranged attacks to pretty much just bugs with guns. Because what tyranids are to the necrons, chaos is to the nids. People turned into demons do not leave flesh
Tyranids will evolve to counter the Xenomorphs too which is even more terrifying. Some melted when eating them due to the acidic/corrosive blood of the Xenomorph? Tyranids will evolve to have their saliva and digestive track neutralize it. Some were smoked because of the Xenomorph's stealth capabilities, they will brute force evolve to have not only intense night vision, but also very sensitive hairs to see it.
@@rory8182 And that hive is bigger than the fucking Milky Way. The Great Devourer is a legit Galaxy Killer, and as much as you wanna say otherwise, the entirety of the Xenomorph Universe is literally no selled by the Nids.
I will never forget that one history about a commander that sacrificed his whole unit just to save a mother and her baby and turned out that baby was a tyranid in disguise.
In the word bearers trilogy, a planet is about to be invaded by nids and is being evacuated before they exterminatus it An ice trawler boss who is paid to take civvies to the local starport gets attacked by drukhari and escapes with a single child After spending days getting to the starport, manages to squeeze the kid through the bars so he can get to the last evac ship The kid was infected by a genestealer... Dude just fucked a whole planet!
Just so people know. That man that was ripped in half like it was nothing, is a space marine, a human with 2 heart (are moddified genetically with the geneseed of a demigod), regeneration powers, that can lift around 3-4 tons, the armor itself is like a tank, and is around 500kg. That was ripped of in half like it was a plushie
To be fair a blood angels chaplain once looked into one and saw a bit of the hiveminds influence in it (from what I remember, it's been a while since I read deviation of baal)
@@Grayfox251Said Chaplain was able to save their plan by shooting said Gaunt. If he didn’t, the Hivemind would have sussed out the fact that the Nids were about to walk into living, carnivorous water.
Fun fact: The Tyranids have invaded the Galaxy from more than just one direction, which means the Galaxy could very well be surrounded by these things... *Welcome to Warhammer 40k! :D*
@@marcusreading3783depends on the warriors kit. If its a standart melee fighter i could see it go both ways. If its a ranged one or a prime (basically an elite warrior)? Oh she aint getting out of that in one piece.
Yeah, the worst part might be that the universe of 40K might just be surrounded. They Tyranids appear to enter the milky way galaxy from different parts so the world of 40K might just be another galaxy to them.
Nothing would happen,vast majority of Tyranids have no reproduction organs for the Facehugger to use to create a new xenomorph. I get what you mean though about the fusion. A fan of both series actually has a line of miniatures of Xenomorph tyranids you could buy.
@@creaturetransylvania8943they don't need reproductive organs xenomorphs just plant themselves there and copy their hosts DNA while adding their own adaptations
imagine if the Tyranids and Xenomorphs were merged together: the intellect, adaptability and weaponry of the Tyranids with the acidic blood and rigid phallic tongue that breaks through skin and bone of the Xenomorph. Hudson: Game over man! GAME OVER!
@@degeneratesupreme860Nah, Warhammer scales above them. The SCP foundation deals with world ending threats on a daily basis; the Imperium of Man deals with UNIVERSE ending threats every moment of every day.
Fun fact. Tyranids evolve into what ever the hell they eat. Oops eat a Warhammer orc? Now you have a tyranid capable of inmagining anything into reality
Nope That kinda works in the power of belive in warhammer( too much people belive in something so it becomes true) but no, if a tyranid eat a ork they dont have their powers
The ORKS are a special case in that regard and it's less whatever they eat they turn into (that's more the kroots thing) it's a case of they evolve to match said problem
@@emilywenig4390 the only thing comparable to tyranids is the flood from halo, and even then tyranids have their own space travel, starship trooper bugs could pull a temporary victory over the first tyrranid attack, but then the nids would just send different bioforms or take the dna of the Arachnids and add it to an improved design
Summon Skull fused with a Xenomorph that went to Pacific Rim is not a line i ever expected to hear in my life. i apperciate the yugioh refrence they rare out here
@@AgentCali21 yeah man! Tbh that's one of the scariest thinga about the nids! Imagine being a psyker or an astropath and then your ability to communicate/navigate is randomly cut off. Wondering what happened only to find out you are next to a Tyranid hive fleet that is smothering your connection to the Immaterium.
tyranids are already heavely inspired by xenomorphs so not much would change. theres also the fact that tyranid immune systems are so juiced that a chest burster would be killed before forming
The truly terrifying part about the Tyranids is that the whole galaxy has been getting their brakes beaten off by them and we think that this is just the scouting party that we have seen so far.
As a massive Tyranid fanboy for nearly 20 years, I LOVE THIS!!! Not to mention how many there are of them! Check out the galaxy maps to see how massive their fleets are!
Worst part is that, potentially, all the ones we’ve seen are just the SCOUT FORCE. With Leviathan (the current invasion) being the first sign of the true force coming.
There's an excerpt about a great jumping moment in 40K where Craftworld Iyanden (one of the Eldar, aka Space Elf, subfactions) is being attacked by Hive Fleet Kraken (a Tyranid Subfaction), and the last defenders are struggling to hold the Tyranids back. Basically, the Avatar of Khaine (a fragment of the Eldar God of War) wanted a 1v1 with The Swarmlord (the closest the the Nids have to a "main leader"). The Swarmlord basically said "Fuck that" and jumped the Avatar with a bunch of Carnifexes and beat his ass because the Nids don’t give a damn about honour or "proving that they ain’t a bitch to their boys", only that you end up dead. > The greater species came close behind. In their midst was their leader, the vast hive tyrant that they could not bring low: the swarmlord. For the hundredth time, Iyanna looked into its fate. On the skein it showed up as a knotted ball, a confluence of lesser destinies. As much as any one of these monsters could be regarded as representatives of the hive fleet’s collective mind, this one was the Dragon incarnate. Slay it, and the bindings of the hive mind’s thread would unravel. > They had tried so many times to destroy it, and had failed at every attempt. *Their last gambit had been to send Khaine himself in open challenge. But the hive mind had no concept of honour, no need to prove itself to its followers, in the same way that an eldar has no need to prove himself to his finger. The Dragon’s living tanks had barred the way, a hand sacrificed to fend off the blow, and down the Avatar had been dragged.*
Great short, love my tyranids, and too clarify that big thing that was in the animation was a screamer killer, which spits bio-plasma while also making a blood curdling scream. And the tyranid that took the storm bolter to the stomach/chest is a winged prime, oh and a bolter round is a mini-rpg mixed with a bullet, with the storm bolter being a much more rapid fire version of the normal bolter/bolter rifle. Correction: I think that might be a assault cannon.
Me:Oi toaster fuckers! Tech priest: first of all how dare you. Second of all what do you want? Me:I want a imperator titan with a giant wood chipper built into it and cannons to shoot smaller wood chippers. Tech priest: do you even realize how big of a project that is? Me:Okay so I have this thing that's similar to the toaster called a "waffle maker"- Tech priest: *how quickly do you want it done.*
Warhammer40k: there are no bad guys just slightly less good guys Dark Eldar: Hi 😘 Warhammer40k: Except these FUCKERS, the guys and gals are sadistically evil
Tyranids just eat you Dark Eldar use your body for snuff porn and once they are tired of you they crush and polymorph your body and then they will stich you together with other people they've done this to and then make you and whoever you are attached to a still alive and breathing moaning and groaning piece of furniture or chandelier or something and they will also never let you die because your suffering at this point will be like mood or ambience lighting for them while they have dinner or an orgy or some shit
" I activate my spell card! Polymerization! " " I fuse my Summoned Skull and my Xenomorph! " " Come forth, Tyranid! " *Proceed to annihilate the opponent*
The scariest part is if a Xenomorph manages to implant an egg inside of a Tyranid..... I DON'T THINK I CAN SLEEP, KNOWING THAT IT EXISTS SOMEWHERE.....
