I always liked the idea of a bio-ship that splits into a ton of tiny insectoid ships and attaches itself to the hull of another ship, then vibrates like bees killing a wasp and basically microwaves the ship to death
I understand the reason Tyranids don's focus on their battles in the void/space, but the reality is that because ships are expensive to build, they do have some biomass present, both in the crew and the supplies to keep the crew alive. As a result, I think it would be interesting for the 'Nids to develop what would essentially be a giant stomach. This would be designed for after an opposing ship has been crippled. The 'Nids that are still functioning from the boarding party retreat, and the shell of a space vessel would be encased in the "space stomach". The vessel would then be flooded with stomach acid. This would serve as a simple way to reclaim the biomass of the crippled residents, both friend and foe, that remains on the ship.
I had a chaos army back in the day and I actually started a custom chapter that was based around killing nids. My commander was a sister of battle corrupted by Khorne. She had terminator armor and a have tyrant head as a helmet. I had a Stat sheet with specials for each unit type. My commander had an unmodified field save granted to her by the hivr tyrant head she used as helmet. It only worked on a roll of 6 but it was still there. It also gave me that ability to sense where all the nids were on the battlefield. So they could not camouflage or anything against me.
Hearing that snake part. What if a tendril of the swarm has a literal "tendril ship". Imagine the ultimate form of Tyranic life, an organic blood vessel stretching for millions of light years, an organism so huge it's capable of bending spacetime as a function of its internal organ, pumping hive fleets internally from one point of intergalactic space into another, much like the Driver Ants use their own army to create a secure and protected living highway for the swarm to move from point A to point B.
I read in the 5th edition tyranid codex that that is how they think the nids were able to survive traveling through the space between galaxies. And the narval is a tyranid ship that bend spacetime so this is very plausible.
There are also worm-like creatures that only have their retractable mouths visible on/inside Tyranid ships. The rest is in the Warp, and they are used to transfer organisms quickly around and/or between ships. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head though..
@@BlueKatanaWarrior Yeah, the Narwhals, but I keep thinking of them as more microscopic transports. Narwhals move individual fleets from point A to more or less point B. But on Tyrranid scale a Hive Fleet is just a tiny object compared to the allegations Tyrranid cloud is bigger than the milky way galaxy. So this would call for a macroscopic transport organism to not move the fleet in between starsystems, but in between galaxies.
Love how you guys have been doing this month specific lore, it really feels like you get to understand the faction more. You guys should try and go for necrons in December as I have been thinking of starting a Necron army to counter my blood angels. As always guys keep up the amazing work.
Video idea: How do all tyranid bioforms reproduce and/or evolve over time? Not just the Norn queens, but for example how do gaunts lay eggs or rippers evolve into larger creatures? If a single ripper was left alone on a planet with lots of biomass and nobody killed it, could it eventually grow and reproduce until a small hive was born? Lots of other similar sci fi races could win in a similar scenario like Zerg or the Flood, so interested in if a similar scenario is winnable for just a little Tyranid creature on its own without a Norn Queen? If not without a synapse creature then maybe with a warrior etc? For next month I’d like a Drukhari December, let’s ruin Christmas 😈
My head-canon bio-ship is that, in the centre-mass of the Tyranids travelling through the intergalactic void (and thus still to enter the Milky Way) are gargantuan bio-ships large enough and specifically designed to consume, crush and sift for all available minerals and biomass both moons and non-gas giant planets; thereby leaving no stone unturned when it comes to completely stripping a galaxy of its biomass and leaving nothing but the dust of primeval creation in its wake...
One very good story which was more of a horror story instead of the usual guning heros, was of a large space station facing a creature of insane size that just moved towards it while they were horrified at size, it opening mouth, and swalwoing the whole structure. all sensors going black, then them feeling the buckling of the strucuture and finaly a gush green acid flowing in that just dissolved people one by one. It is inefficient for getting biomass i imagine its 100 parts of non-biomass for each biomass, but rule of cool it should be cannon.
@JustinBlazeDraxx Tyranids can use inorganic materials to make armor plates and such with. They can also eat souls/warp energy based on the Doom of Malantai.
*Tyranid Sylph* I always felt that, as the Tyranids encounter the speed and range advantage of the Imperium (and several other races), they'll adapt to create a bio-engineered jet engine. Something that would use a gas injection mixture to create an explosive force, contained, directed, and ignited by its bio-electric pulse spasm chambers the Tyranids already have. In this way, the Tyranids could have smaller ships in similar size and role as a heavy bomber that is capable of accelerating far from the fleet on a flank and then accelerate back, so that enemies could be engaged while the rest of the fleet slowly moves on to target. In atmosphere, such bio-ships would make use of drinking in the atmosphere to continually propel themselves (though less maneuverable) as subsonic but very fast, maybe even supersonic speeds that don't rely on flapping wings or gliding. I'd call it the Sylph, a word defined as: _"one of a race of supernatural beings supposed to inhabit the air."_
Question: I apologize for the length. I'm not sure if it's a theory floating around already but to accompany a question from a previous video of "can the Tyranids create a chaos god". What if the great devourer is the oldest god of greed and gluttony (the Tyranids force being so large as hunger is the most primative feeling of life) Made manifest in another galaxy and was successful at consuming where it had originated, left without biomass (biomass treated as a physical connection to reality as blood and bone is to korne) it starved losing power and developed the shadow of the warp to break the chains that tied it to the immaterium setting free it's hunger on the universe (It's tendrils and broods being a piece of itself as demons are to the chaos gods). Thoughts? Also why not drukhari December?
Question: Could the Tyranids use orks to creat farms to have a limitless bio mass. Example could be like the Tyranids take over a planet and kill an Ork on it releasing it's spors, the Tyranids then let it grow to become a grechin or Ork and then kill it before it can fight back for bio mass and releasing more spors in the prosses. Do this on large scale like an entire planet as a biomass farm and the Tyranids could become even more unstoppable.
...sounds like a walkthrough for Minecraft lol that being said, I don't know, if there are many orks, they collectively become stronger. Maybe they could have internal farms for their "Bio Ships" as a snack farm. I don't think lingering on one planet to make an ork farm would be worthwhile though. It would be like getting a woman pregnant just to eat the baby, just too much resource and time for such little benefit...sadly, YES, that was the best example I could think of @m@
I doubt the hive mind is interested in doing anything outside consuming the entire universe until the only biomass that exists is Tyranid. Even then, I think the different hive fleets would attempt to consume eachother until nothing is left. It is their nature.
I think a cool ship variant would be a small escort class, too small to destroy attacking ships but enough to drive them off by kamikazing into the enemy and deliver small contingency of geansteelers and lictors to infiltrate the population when the ship docks for repair.
That would be awesome. The nids do use large flying bioforms that are often seen on the battlefield. Heres a refresher for those types of nids th-cam.com/video/pIaPni0hgns/w-d-xo.html

My theory on one reason the nails were used is they leave the subject unable to properly plan. So they make great gladiators and poor leaders who wouldn't be able to lead a rebellion. Just angron is a primarch
Seems to me the imperium could plow a high speed ship through hive motherships. Ships entirely designed to rip through other ships. The destruction of motherships would slow a fleet while it has to create another
Never played any 40K but i love the lore and hearing about it, the "biomass" of the Tyranids is it just a big blob of stuff or is it sentient and part of the hivemind ? ( my bio-ship would be a ship that latches onto another lets say an Ironclad and drills a hole into it and slowly pumps it full of acid disolving everything inside)
This is not Canon, but I think when in not use the bio-mass is not sentient, but all of the bio-mass is connected always to the hive-mind, so if the hive-mind needs a Carnifex it can Immediatly make a Carnifex out of the bio-mass that's available to it.
@@OneMindSyndicate Assuming the Nids have there own form of scanning tech (void senses?) and adaptive intelligence the best method is rigged derelict vessels full of restrained criminals.
@@AngryBobthe6th Derelict, barely space worthy ships full of trapped condemned heretics and traitors, rigged to blow, the hivemind would have a real problem figuring that one out.
NIDVEMBER SUGGESTION: Tyranids aren't bugs. They're six limbed alien dinosaurs from another galaxy. White Dwarf 306 (June 2005) has an article with Jes Goodwin about the evolution of the models and the Tyranids. To quote "Even the name gives a clue. Tyran doesn't just relate to the planet on which the race was first encountered - it is also meant to conjure mental images of beasts such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex"
Could the Tyranids evolve to consume metal or other raw materials along with Bio Mass? Maybe a clean up of sorts after the death of the planet, another fleet comes along for that purpose?
Yes, if you watch our video on how tyranids can be destroyed I explain that the nids can definitely consume metal but they dont get much nourishment from it.
I was thinking about how terrifying it would be if there was a hive ship similar to planet fuse from the Cartoon Network mmo fusionfall. Imagine it, a monstrosity larger than even a gas giant whose own mass creates a strong enough gravity to pull any unfortunate ships to their doom and can devour any planet whole. Also a question, is there any way that tyranid could take over machinery that the other factions utilize?
Question: Are there any Tyranid bioships, that we know of, designed not to engage the ships of terrestrial species, but to attack and consume space faring creatures such as the void kraken or void whale?
i mean theres something similar to a snake form of a bio ship its only a highly mutated version of a vampiric zonethrope called The Doom of Malan'tai that ate an eldar infinity circuit and now its a craft world sized tyranid that can ripe the soul out of practically anyone just floating around in space
I heard you say one time that hive fleets sometime attack each other, is it because they have freewill or is it hiveminds plan to transfer biomass from one fleet to another?
Theory, what if the eldar accidentally made the tyranids. A small group of eldar attempts to find a way to hide from Slaanesh and experiment on themselves, and in the process create tyranids.
I can try to create a video around that. As far as I know they simply return to their respective Chaos God. Remember that a demon is just a small piece of the chaos god given varying degrees of independence
I’m thinking there should be some sort of terrains bioship just for space hulks. Maybe it attaches to the space hulk and grows some sort of membrane around the entire space hulk dropping anchor roots as it goes so it isn’t easy to cut it free from the space hulk. Once the space hulk is completely engulfed the membrane balloon fills with acid liquid or gas dissolving everything organic on the space hulk into biogoo that can be sucked up to help fuel and grow the hive fleet. Meanwhile the continues on its way with the space hulk engulfed inside it. Once a planet that puts up a fight is encountered the ship and the space hulk within it will plunge into the planet devastating hundreds or thousands of square miles from its impact into the planet’s surface. This sort of bioship could also mop up disabled enemy ships after battles.
What is the range of the hive mind connection? I realize the hive follows the highest strength signal which is directly correlated to the number and concentration of organisms but is communication transmission from one tyranid bioform across say interstellar distances possible? Is the hive aware of the fate of any particular gene stealer or is the movement of the hive fleet purely instinctual based on the signal strength generated by the tyrannic multitudes?
Its surprisingly short, on the tabletop a creature is out of synapse if they are 12 or 24 inches away I can't really remember but the shit distance is why so many synapse creatures exist, they act like a modem router.
Suggestion: Next month focus -Space Marines and Necrons are already covered extensively on this and other channels so naturally it leaves maybe Eldars, Drukhari are popular and have fun lore, I am Necron fan so I kind of cry Necrons won't be next but it wouldn't make sense
@@OneMindSyndicate I would like Necrons however I am filled to the brim with Necrons lore (since all lore channels covered them extensively since they are cover boys of 9th). However if you would find some obscure or highly sought for lore on Necrons I instantly watch it ;) (also in old 'For the Greater Waghh' you stayed that full C'tans have no chance vs Chaos Gods, I am not so sure since neither can "kill" other) Outsider is still there :)
@@OneMindSyndicate Interesting, so follow up question. Is there a known max range they can communicate from and is it know how they communicate? Ie warp, webway like thing or otherwise?
i read ina comment that there is a giant Tyranid ship, probably a mother ship, and that it spits out normal hive ship to invade worlds any information or info and were i can read abt that?
Thinking of New bio forms for nids is a fun hobby. One of my favorites is what I call a “matriarch” instead of a genestealer patriarch. It works kind of the same but instead of banging a genestealer, the matriarch emits pheromones that makes the nearby population super horny, experiencing a boom of girls born in the population. The pheromones also insert certain genes to continue the population boom, sometimes forcing puberty at an earlier age than what they would normally see. Hiking up the likelihood of pregnancy, and the birthing rate, more biomass for the nids. It also forces that planet to dial back on war gear, instead it makes feeding its growing population the highest priority, meaning less defenses the nids will encounter.
I like battlefeet gothic games in general but the ship design for tyranid ships is meh, they have one design/body type that is reused that I dont like i, 5:01 has example of art showing more interesting variety of ships and design.
Yeah snake or worm is a decent body design but needs a gross way to kill, likespitting its guts out all over ships then slurping them back in like a flatworm. Or spider form which latches on then enters it's proboscis, pumps the ship full of digestive enzimes sucks it dry and leaves a empty husk floating in space 🤔
A fat blob ship with several strong tentacles that gorges on asteroids and then spins, throwing asteroids at large immobile targets like fortresses and moons. HAHAHA
no offense, but why do you still call those videos "40 Facts..." ? it's been probably YEARS that you released even one video that has 20 facts in it...

Whats the worst message we can get from space? "Be quiet, or they'll hear you."

The 3 body problem book series is based around that.

Once the space hulk is completely engulfed the membrane balloon fills with acid liquid or gas dissolving everything organic on the space hulk into biogoo that can be sucked up to help fuel and grow the hive fleet. Meanwhile the continues on its way with the space hulk engulfed inside it. Once a planet that puts up a fight is encountered the ship and the space hulk within it will plunge into the planet devastating hundreds or thousands of square miles from its impact into the planet’s surface.
This sort of bioship could also mop up disabled enemy ships after battles.
How do zoats fit in with tyranids and are there any other unaligned races/ units that interact with tyranids?
Here's an idea for a bioship... A gulper eel style ship that expands a giant mouth and swallows small cruisers whole
Like I’m the Battlefleet gothic 2 trailer, yes that’s awesome
kinda wanna know what the game being shown with the hive fleets at the start is called, looks interesting
What is the range of the hive mind connection? I realize the hive follows the highest strength signal which is directly correlated to the number and concentration of organisms but is communication transmission from one tyranid bioform across say interstellar distances possible? Is the hive aware of the fate of any particular gene stealer or is the movement of the hive fleet purely instinctual based on the signal strength generated by the tyrannic multitudes?
Its surprisingly short, on the tabletop a creature is out of synapse if they are 12 or 24 inches away I can't really remember but the shit distance is why so many synapse creatures exist, they act like a modem router.
Roald Dahl invented "Vermicious Knids" in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, space avacadoes with teeth lol
space avocados with teeth lol
BTW loving Nidvember
thanks
How do the bio ships reach space from a planet..
How do they get off the planet?
How about Taucember ?
Suggestion: Next month focus
-Space Marines and Necrons are already covered extensively on this and other channels so naturally it leaves maybe Eldars, Drukhari are popular and have fun lore, I am Necron fan so I kind of cry Necrons won't be next but it wouldn't make sense
You do or dont want the necrons ?
@@OneMindSyndicate I would like Necrons however I am filled to the brim with Necrons lore (since all lore channels covered them extensively since they are cover boys of 9th).
However if you would find some obscure or highly sought for lore on Necrons I instantly watch it ;)
(also in old 'For the Greater Waghh' you stayed that full C'tans have no chance vs Chaos Gods, I am not so sure since neither can "kill" other) Outsider is still there :)
Suggestion: Adeptus Custodecember
My only real question is why does the insect at 3:15 look like Yoda?
I have a book with a tyranid transformed titan, they don’t seem to do that to ships.
So is the hive mind based in all of them or is there a "queen bee" or sorts 🤔
Hive mind is in all bioforms with synapse, its not like the Zerg
@@OneMindSyndicate Interesting, so follow up question. Is there a known max range they can communicate from and is it know how they communicate? Ie warp, webway like thing or otherwise?
Going against these things will give u nightmares
Or even watching these things from far away
i read ina comment that there is a giant Tyranid ship, probably a mother ship, and that it spits out normal hive ship to invade worlds any information or info and were i can read abt that?
How do bio ships move?
excellent video
Tyranid ships are Kaiju in space.
Great Nid Vid
Tau for Taucember, please.
Thinking of New bio forms for nids is a fun hobby. One of my favorites is what I call a “matriarch” instead of a genestealer patriarch. It works kind of the same but instead of banging a genestealer, the matriarch emits pheromones that makes the nearby population super horny, experiencing a boom of girls born in the population. The pheromones also insert certain genes to continue the population boom, sometimes forcing puberty at an earlier age than what they would normally see. Hiking up the likelihood of pregnancy, and the birthing rate, more biomass for the nids. It also forces that planet to dial back on war gear, instead it makes feeding its growing population the highest priority, meaning less defenses the nids will encounter.
I like battlefeet gothic games in general but the ship design for tyranid ships is meh, they have one design/body type that is reused that I dont like i, 5:01 has example of art showing more interesting variety of ships and design.
Quick answer: YES
Yeah snake or worm is a decent body design but needs a gross way to kill, likespitting its guts out all over ships then slurping them back in like a flatworm. Or spider form which latches on then enters it's proboscis, pumps the ship full of digestive enzimes sucks it dry and leaves a empty husk floating in space 🤔
I miss Battlefleet Gothic 😢
Why leave out all the art and info from advanced space crusade. The game is all about boarding these ships and taking them out.
Question: how about tau for Christmas? ie Santau Claus
So many Tau haters tho
Question: do you think you’ll ever reach 200K subs? Maybe if you ask all your primos and primas to subscribe?
Tyranids = Gravemind
A fat blob ship with several strong tentacles that gorges on asteroids and then spins, throwing asteroids at large immobile targets like fortresses and moons. HAHAHA
0:04 "What do you think is scarier..."
0:15 "an equally terrifying bioform"
So... um.... English is a thing.
Lol always works
a “time serpent”?…. not a lot of creativity eh 😂
👍👍👍
+1 for the algorithme
I don’t want to think about Nid Mobiles…gross!;)
no offense, but why do you still call those videos "40 Facts..." ?
it's been probably YEARS that you released even one video that has 20 facts in it...
