- A 3D visualization of a Tyranid Invasion. Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/4bvtG0b and use the code "InvictaMay" to get 2,000 Gold and 50 Blackstone (Note: expires June 15 th 2024)
In this Warhammer 40k video we continue to bring to life a Tyranid Invasion. In part 1 we focused on the initial stages of infiltration and isolation of a target planet. This included a review of the Tyranid bioforms set to rain down upon a planet from the Rippers to the Gaunts and Warriors. Now we set the stage for their main assault.
In part 2 we begin with a review of the Imperial Guard army and its fortifications. We then cover the Tyranid assault upon its various fronts. This includes the deployment of monstrous units such as the Tyranid Carnifex.
Let us know what you think of this format and what documentaries in the Warhammer 40,000 universe you would like to see us cover next.

This was definitely a passion project that took huge amounts of effort to make. If you'd like to help support further development, please support our sponsor by checking out Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/4bvtG0b
There's so much wrong with the depiction of the defenders...
1. the Imperial guard Corps you drew up is not a corps strength formation.
It is in fact a division and a brigade attachment. for a corps you need about 4 brigades or at least two understrength divisions. preferably up to 4 full-strength divisions.
2. Where is the PDF and the Militia?
The Corps should include at least one division sized formation of PDF and at least a brigade of militia to fill the trenches, with the guard, being the elite formation it is, being in a morale booster and fire brigade role.
3. Deploying division sized elements via trains shouldn't be too hard.
4. That base layout looks like the one constructing it WANTS it to be targeted. Spread them out more and make sure some of it is concealed. Otherwise you'd invite orbital bombardment, artillery strikes and air-to-ground as well as ground-to ground-missile bombardment on the position.
10:40 you legit *actually* use Unification’s DKoK HQ sound cue 😂 that’s amazing, I applaud you fellow Soulstorm’rs
at 20:25 you only mention men and materials, not women. Are you referencing my male sisters of battle?
That was amazing! Thanks!
Makes me wonder in a stand off who's more powerful, a war between the Tyranids and the Zerg.
Some fun shower thoughts to think about!
Beware the Jean Stealers, the greatest threat to Imperial fashion since the Horus Heresy. TH-cam Subtitles are something else.
It's a shame that most of the lesser known treasonous events aren't talked about though such as the Adidas Apostasy and the Sephora Schism.
Can't fight without pants
gib denim plz grr arg
@bobsmith8510 yes you can, haven't you heard of the "69th Fucking Guard Regiment"?
They're gonna steal our levis. Those who control the pants control the universe!
I can’t believe they managed to fit “distraction carnifex” in the narration. 10/10 - lovely stuff
It is a legitimate strategy!
"Distraction carnifexes"
I see what you did there
I did not see it coming, but i sure did enjoy it
you're supposed to capitalize the term, or else the DISTRACTION won't be as distracting
without the capital letters, you might as well proxy some gaunts as your "Distraction carnifex"
I don't understand this? A meme?
@@ForestRaptor i maybe wrong but a DISTRACTION carnifex is a tactic in the table top, where you "distract" the enemy forces by rushing them with a carnifex, but in tandem with another more squishy attack, so it become a dilemma for the defend. Shoot the carnifex and let the squishy get close and maul you, or shoot the squishy and upgrade the distractions carnifex to a carnifex.
@@ForestRaptor a distraction carnifex is a term used on the tabletop for a big unit that you take to draw attention away from smaller units. joke started early in the game's history when the carnifex was one of the biggest and baddest monsters in the game. nowadays there are definitely larger things than ol' Carnie but the term stuck
Fighting against the Tyranids. If there was a worst possible deployment for a Guard Regiment, this would probably be it.
I think a Deployment against Chaos is still worse, i mean... yeah, the Tyranids rip you apart and probably eat you alive if you are unlucky but the Chaos maybe do all of this too and do really creepy things with you Spirit/Soul.
Yes commissar, this guardsman right here
Nah, worst deployment is against nurgle... Not only seeing your fellow guardsmen fall to the Walking Pox and turn upon your regiment, but then falling victim to it yourself and being trapped in a rotting zombielike corpse, watching yourself kill in the name of a chaos god has to be worse than simply getting eaten alive/dead
@@Xxantoss Maybe being deployed against the Dark Eldar is actually the worst fate.
I mean Chaos cant take your soul unless you allow it.
1. Slanesh
2. DA
3. Nurgle
4. Tzeench
5. Tyranids
6. Khorne
7. Orks
8.Eldar
9. Tau
10. Necrons (most humane of all)
@@Xxantoss but nurgle also changes your perspective to enjoy the muck so its not as bad if you technically enjoy it to some degree? i think?
The swarms of Gargoyles will block out the sun(s), but the Guard will be there to make sure the front’s well lit.
True, to true.
"Fighting in the shade? At least I brought...*puts on sunglasses and raises lasrifle*...my flashlight."
YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH
I would hate to be the first guys on those walls.
At least its quick
Nahh, for the imperium, for the emperor. And because I’m out of grenades and tired of corpse starch.
With the minimal odds to survival it would be better to be first rather than last
The Emperor protects! Coward traitor
The Emperor protects you cowered traitor
I had to quadruple check that this was the same channel I watch all the Roman videos from. I love 40k and this is awesome!
Haha lots of overlap in nerd interest : )
It's such a perfect mix
@@InvictaHistoryAnd Invitcta isn't a poor name choice in this context either.
Please never stop improving this concept and content. It was beautiful and exciting
@@enderwiggin402I rly hope he does the main warbands of the Black Legion as each is heavily specialized and it almost be like an evil version of the Ultramarines chapter video but Warbands instead of companies
40k is the universe we all love to talk about, but would never want to visit, cause I love the tyrannids, and this would be a complete nightmare
Alex Jones would find himself at home there, though.
Yeah Id only go to 40k universe if I was made like a primarch or better lmao.
I'd be a human, but live with the Tau, cuz fuck everything/everyone else in that universe.
@@BonkyChilliams “Why are you retreating private!? We don’t run towards the Xenos!”
“They take POWs sir! And I don’t have to live in a trench or dirt shack! I am free!!!”
*laspistol fires* “Do ya’ll understand privates? I better not see that again or you’re all doing 1,000 push-ups when we’re done with this filth!”
That is the one thing that divides fiction fans. Star Trek, Star Wars and nearly any other franchise would be so cool to really visit the world. If you ask a 40k fan if he wants to visit this universe the answer is: Hell no! Are you insane? What is wrong with you?
That starting flyover really puts into perspective the mind-boggling scale of outgoing fire from an Imperial defensive line.
Now imagine a Krieg defensive line. thousands of earthshaker artillery pieces, firing lines of more potent (but slower firing) LASGUN fire and regular mass bayonet charges from men born only to seek death in the emperor's service by the 10s of thousands, thousands of death rider calvary attacking from the flanks with melta spears, not to mention all the armor including house sized baneblades bolstering strong points. All of this from extensive and intricately prepared trench systems designed solely for attritional warfare and causing as many casualties as possible.
I wonder how quickly it'd take to go deaf.
"Cant see shit, sir. I'm firing into the glowing sea of corpses"
The one thing you quickly learn when fighting full spectrum campaigns against decent tyranid players is never let them make planetfall or even orbit, you must stop them out in the deep dark of space with the Imperial Navy or assorted secondary forces (Space Marines, Mechanicus, etc.). If you fail that, you're counting the future of inhabited planets in months at most.
I always thought that. The Tyranids, despite being devastating and terrible when they manage to board ships, have many disadvantages in space battles. The lack of long-range weapons that are minimally accurate is just one of them, there is also the fact that, without the mother ship, all Tyranids collapse, and the cost of caloric maintenance of the ships must be astronomical, not that it would be much of a problem for the Tyranids if they manage to win the space battle and get to the ground, it is still a huge disadvantage against an enemy that knows how to play dirty
@@Neoth40k I cant seem to find the source. But I recall reading the Tau being somewhat of a hard counter to the Nids because of the ranged combat.
@@williamalfonso1373 I recall it being a funny writing moment where they said the tyranids can't adapt to the tau's switching of forces, where they would counter each of the tyranid's adaptation with sometine else, when the nids would counter that, the tau would switch again making the nids vulnerable. It when something like: They would start with mass anti infantry, so the nids would adapt thicker armor, then switch to battlesuits to piece that armor, then the nids would shed that armor and gain speed to catch the suits, then they tau would go back to mass anti infantry, making the nids vulnerable again.
this makes little sense as the tyranid adaptation is additive and not trade off based and they have faced foes far more dangerous than the Tau, so them being countered by that is somewhat dumb.
I mean, i cant even see how the nids even manage to survive in space tbh, i thought it would be something like the flood as they steal ships and then build biomass around them, but eh.
In what game? Is there like a 4x rts version of 40k?
The Red Alert 3 music was perfection.
Haha there's little audio Easter eggs sprinkled about
And the call from the garrison building XD
@@InvictaHistory "Distraction Carnifex" had me ROLLING
@@InvictaHistoryI feel like the radio chatter before the defense overview was from MW2
There's also a sound effect at 10:40 from Red Alert II; it's the opening sound-effect from the RA2 'theme song'.
"The enemy is withdrawing from the battlefield, I proclaim today's defense a grand victory."
24 hrs later ...
"The enemy has pushed through our first line of defenses and weve lost 6 thousand men. I proclaim todays defense as a grand victory nonetheless."
6,000 is like a grain of sand in terms of losses.
@@ElBandito "It has been 85 days since the invasion. Every day it is hell on earth, I don't know what will be the results of our efforts, but we will die for the Emperor."
@@ElBandito Depends on the race. The Orks and Nids fought each other to an attritional stalemate in the octarius war. Humans would eventually feel the pain in the long term.
@@williamalfonso1373 Well Tyranids did eventually come on top due to how adaptive they are. Orks are cool but too one track minded to overcome a smart opponent like the hivemind.
@@TheSpectralFX I’m pretty sure the irks lost octarius because they sent a lichter or something to take out the warboss. Because the warboss kept killing the swarm lord
"I came looking for copper and I found gold"; I thought I was going to find just another explanation of the Tyranids, but I ended up seeing the composition of the Imperial Guard defenses, what a great addition.
One thing to note, the Valkyrie is actually an Armed Transport - its a sign of how upgunned everything is that it gets impromtu service as a gunship.
That's also how things work IRL, though. It's common for armed transports to stick around for fire support against soft targets.
The US Army uses Blackhawks in similar fashion. There are special variants of the Blackhawk designed to accept wing-like pylons for weapons, such as Hellfire and TOW missiles or rocket pods. Most of the time they get used for infantry support/air assault operations and special operations in additional to things like Apache and Kiowa helicopters.
Seeing the sheer scale of 40k visualised is always a stunning sight. I'd love to see you guys cover the Adeptus Mechanicus next, maybe with some Mechanics aligned Knights or Titans!
The scale in alot of 40k is normally far greater than what has been shown here. Shield of baal was something like 30,000+ space marines (imperium super soldiers) plus imperial guard vs billions of tyranids. It would be like all of earths population fighting at the same time every where on earth
@@Pob-bear Yeah, even this video just focused on one region on the planet. But, hey, seeing lots of tiny soldiers fighting eachother makes my brain happy lol
the scale should be much bigger than this, though. Even EDF games (especially 5) had billions of Earthlings defending the Holy Terra and wh40k scale shouldn't be smaller than that.
@@Pob-bear No Imperial Guard for Baal, just most of the BA and their successors as well as the conscripted populations of the Baal system and serfs from all chapters.
@@khinzaw77 isn't that mainly what the imperial guard is? Apart from the main regiments obviously
Would be fun with a similar "awakening of a necron tomb world" series!
In another world; while the Helldivers are busy kicking around in the rear closing nests, reactivating E-710 facilities and hunting for samples, SEAF battalions do their best to hold the bulk of the Terminid swarm back.
Terminds are like a domesticated cow compared to Tyranids an apex predator.
yeah there are big bugs that know how to fight for dominance. And there are monsters who know how to use strategies and creatures made for wars in the most effective ways possible.
@@williammarshal2190 tbf apparently Terminids are not exactly Cows
They got far more Nasty since they got domesticated probably due to the Illuminate interferences and human experiments.
Essentially they much more Apex Predators now than they were the first time Humans encountered them
@@williammarshal2190 Fair enough but tbh his point still stands. Helldivers are the stars of the show in Super Earth, but I'm sure that SEAF is actually doing the bulk of the fighting.
@@KalashVodka175the Helldivers are the tip of the Spear going deep into the heart of the enemy. SEAF Battalions help maintain, defend, and secure the planets of Super Earth. We all have a part to play that's for sure.
A fresh cadet "Holy Emperor... We survived!"
A grizzled vet "Aye! But what about second wave?"
Now do the Orks vs the Tyrannids. It is the Orks happiest place to be!
The Octarius War. Didn't the Orks lose? The tyranids coming out on top with tougher bio forms because of the orks is scary lol
@booya2k Orks lost in the sense of being one unified force, but the fighting has juiced up so many of then they are still threatening. Just don't gotta worry about the former empire crashing down on the Imperium.
Ork Warboss: "WUT A WONDAFA DAE!"
Once the orcs infect the hive tyrant ships, the tyranids are done for.
The only happier Orks are the ones “trapped” in the eternal Waaagh in Khorne’s realm of the warp.
Your use of the term “distraction carnifex” caught me off guard. I love how professionally you used it in your video!
Pretty cool to see it all broken down. Hard to imagine this is just a section of a section of the entire planet getting invaded.
Seriously... the complexity of mounting a defense would be fucking impossible
For the Emper…..Ahhh
This video is a wet dream for a super 40k geek like me. I'm also a massive fan of the Astra Militarum lore and gameplay. I hope this series continues and you have all the success this project deserves. Very well done!
This was one of my favorite peices of content from the channel so far.
I want this Helldiver event.
You already kind of have it, it's called Helldivers 2 lol it's just a tyranids/starship troopers reskin basically
but I want large amounts of players fighting in a battle against a huge swarm of ayyliens
not just a squad of 4 guys running around the map
@@specs.weedle Maybe one day, this game will exist
That's the job of the regular SEAF troops.
@@specs.weedlethat will require much greater bandwidth, a creative system of local servers for the same map, far higher GPUs and CPUs not to mention RAM, and so basically the internet grid needs to be upgraded to 100 Gbps in order for players to join without lagging out. The max that's been consistently reached is 12v12 in halo warzone, 20v20 in Star Wars battlefront, and 100 max players in battle royales. Bearing in mind, there's a lot less going on physics wise as you go up. One day we will have more but maybe in 20-30 years Based on economic disruption and supply chain issues due to proxy wars
Big thumbs up for giving the PDF the size assessments they deserve. Hive world PDF are massive and it feels like people forget that.
And this is only one region, no bigger than Long Island
Remember, this is just the second wave, of the first wave.
I feel like it's really understated how often the first stages of an invasion already take over the world. Full scale invasion battles only happen if the city:
- Survives the Genestealer uprising, which is basically 2/3rds of the civilian population that are all cooperating, planning, and arming for an uprising. Something that most planets would never survive.
- Filtered out all envoronmental hazards; kept those spores out of the water, food, even the fucken air; otherwise ALL of the population would already be genestealers. Sd well as prevented the spores from sabatoging weapons, filteration machinery, transportation, etc.
- Maintaining defencive lines during all this shit, that means entirilly purging the nids from your main infrastructure so you can still send troops to the front, ammo, uncontaminated food, water, medical aid that hopefully doesn't have the fucking nid virus implanted in it.
Its like, you have the most secure, airtight, efficent fortress world? With multiple backups, filtration, and self-sufficiency and still have enough to fight? Congrats, thats just the minimum to survive the first fucking phase of the invasion, now you have to fight a bug that can explode your brain on command, or a charging Ultralisk looking thing that has a fucking Space Marine Gene Seed inside of it.
Exactly, most worlds that survive the first wave are significant to the imperium and are already prepared for a tyranid invasion via space marine chapters, extra guard regiments, etc.
I find it hilarious and awesome that Invicta started doing Warhammer 40k lore.
I love these what its like videos. Tyranids would be absolutely terrifying to face on the battlefield. The green army men style soldiers is kinda nostalgic too.
While people like the Tyranids material, I really appreciate the Imperial Guard section. A brief overview on the IG organisation
I love tyranids, so I'm very happy to get some videos from your team on them. The downside is now I'll be wondering how long it would take to see a necron visualization. Though, there's a solid number of factions that fit this format well so I can't be greedy.
The way you talk about the guard wets my appetite for a full Imperial guard video?
What a wonderful factorio-like 'tower defence' and management game of an epic scale this could have been.
They Are Billions but 40k and you're the defenders of an hive city against endless waves of nids would go HARD
@@KalashVodka175 Oh damn I wish TAB had mods like that. Or any sort of successor really. Age of Darkness takes too different an angle on that style.
If you guys made a 40k game using battle graphics like this with massive scale Graviteam Tactics/Dominions-style combat, I would give you every last dollar I possibly could lol
Fantastic! Awesome! Amazing! It's not exactly lore accurate but it's how I've always viewed the guard in my hear canon and honestly GW and black library should take some notes. Like....this is what a real military organization would look like.
Commenting to help support this content! As a Tyranid player there's not enough content for the ever hungry hivemind. I hope you can keep it up!
SO PROFESSIONAL 😮, THIS IS BETTER THAN NETFLIX
watching this makes me wish there was a modern 40k base building RTS about!
The Total War 40K game is going to be a classic
I love that they love both history and fantasy
I miss the old lore when the Tyranids would seed the planet with microscopic life that would cause the indigenous flora and fauna to grow at an expedited rate. Within a couple weeks, planets would be overgrown like a jungle. This provided cover for the invading forces, and it made it easier for the Rippers to gobble up all the biomass.
Those big boys, no matter how strong their shell is, it won't stop the concussive force of really dense high explosive and will cause their organs to liquify.
At the very least. Physics is on the guards side for that one aspect.
I believe there was a case of that in a blurb on one of the old books. The tyranids realized this and evolved a form of bio padding to cushion or deflect the impacts to make them less effective. They also evolved a way to dissipate heat when they came up against plasma and heavy laser weapons to lessen their effectiveness.
@@Angelofdeath690
It will make it somewhat more suvivable but tbh even nids have limits. They can't beat physics, only try to do it.
And even then from my understanding when nids overspecialize their units to survive one type of damage, they can't simultaneously adapt to another type; so there's still room for beating them back as long as you keep up with their changes.
@KalashVodka175 there are instances of that happening with the Tau. The problem is by the time you realize they changed and you attempt to switch, it could cost you a lot in the interim. Also this universe has the warp and things that bend reality so RL physics don't always apply the same.
Also, nids can evolve to lack most organs. They have a short life span and only need to fight
Maybe the tyranids will evolve those little rectangular boxes and but them all over the Carnifexes. :-P
This is incredible. Good job! The narrative makes all the difference.
Really enjoying you getting into the nitty-gritty if Imperial Logistics. Though I may just be a weirdo...
These battlefield animations are done spectacular. The time given to them I appriciate
LOVE the one eye tribute
Would love to see a similar type of video detailing the gathering of an ork WAAAGH!!! And then the invasion of an imperial world by said WAAAGH!!!
I love the distraction carnifex line. Shows a knowledge of 40k tabletop as well as the current best build for the chimera (double heavy bolter), though double heavy flamers may be more helpful against the gaunts.
These episodes are insanely good
i like how light is slower than bullets
welcome to sci-fi
lightspeed laser weaponry requires the DLC
Really?! Love it, i can never understand anyones strength in warhammer. This helps😊
Hard to get clear information compared to other series
Dude you got Guy Michaels to narrate this?!?
I knew I recognized the voice!
That's nuts. And awesome. Hope he enjoyed this, must be refreshing!
Guy is awesome and has been our go to narrator for a while!
@@InvictaHistory Ah that is awesome!
I've been subbed for years but been on a "hiatus" in this (and many other) case(s)
Good job!
I forgot your previous channel name off the top of my head but I remember when you branched out a little and renamed this one.
You've come a long way!!!
Omg it finally dropped! I have been waiting for this since the first one came out. AMAZING SERIES. Please make more.🎉🎉❤❤
DISTRACTION CARNIFEXES, LET'S GOOO!
Fighting the Tyranids is horrifying but also a bit assuring because it’s an all or nothing battle. Sure, you can’t call for backup, but neither will the fleet. If you can kill them all, then essentially you win. But if you don’t win but kill and destroy enough biomass that it becomes a net negative for the fleet, you have severely weakened that fleet for the next unlucky planet, which may end up killing the fleet. I don’t think there has ever been an occurrence where two or more hive fleets attack a single planet
And to think, this is only the smallest faction of both sides forces.
This is not a complaint, i love this the way that it, however, i would love to see the "lazer" to be more of an instant flash with the clasic crack noise, you know, the classic lasgun noise and sound.
The only victory the Imperium can claim fully where they didnt lose the planet or Exterminatus it, was Baal home of the Blood Angels. They managed to stop it just barely with the help of every descendent Chapter of the Blood Angels Legion. Devastation of Baal is a good read i highly recommend it. Its in the Lords of Blood omnibus
There's no better match up then Guard vs Nids.
1st time i seen your vids and channel, subbed, good effort man, definately worth the sub
I'd hate to be on that planet but this series has given me an idea for a 40k game
I always thought cod-40k would be good. Your a mordian having to hold the line against a waagh, swarm or cultists and cannot take a step back without the commissar shooting you.
So I watched a guy set up a Tyranid vs Imperial battle in a TABS mod; Tyranids had the equivalent of a true 'Nid scout force size. One thing that happened, which wasn't mentioned here at all, is that the sheer number of downed 'Gaunts started piling on top of each other, making literal hills of bodies that provided cover for the masses of swarm behind them, and when it came to walls, they literally breached the walls with embankments of dead bodies piling higher than the walls. The Russes can blow chunks in these, but they just end up scattering smaller bits of chitinous matter rather than remove it from the field. At this point, so early in, not much of that would be happening yet, but you'd see snowdrift-like rises of bodies starting in the heaviest concentrated areas of no-man's land. After a half a day or so of fighting, you'd end up with literal lakes of blood in the low-lying areas, making traversal through them a lot harder. All that said, great video- Tyranids are supreme at being existentially terrifying. :)
This is making me want to make and play a tyranid army.
Really great Video. Love all the art and animation. Thanks for all your hard work!
Finally a channel doing 40k style battles
A fantastic watch! my kind of docu-series!
10:20 epic that you talked about the size of the units
But you forgot the PDF as mobilisation would easily be 10% and probably even higher
“Distraction Carnifex”
Oh yeah, these guys know their stuff
I think the final battle in Avatar gives a good example of what would happen to the guards when facing the Tyranids, aircraft being swarmed and brought down and huge creatures immune to arms running over the men and armor while smaller creatures hunt the stragglers. Also the sentinel Swarm in Matrix is an apt depiction
I've been with you since THFE and the Punic Wars. So glad you've added 40k as well!
Dude your vids are awesome!
Well structured, entertaining and informative.
I for one look forward for more.
Love the video! Really neat to see the match up, and I also really like the sound effects.
i wish that this series get that massive popular that someday we get an "true size of ork invasion"
These armies on the table top would be wild 😮
Im loving the dawn of war buildings and ra3 music and sound effects
One of my favorite short stories is of a lictor (assasin form) before an invasion even began infiltrated the commander of the planetary military's house, captured his son, then when his father heard his screams killed him in front of him and then fled.He went into a depressive stupor that crippled the planets defenses. edit: also I hope this story includes a genestaler betrayal
Please true size of a Tomb World next!!! This is too good!
1 million? Ah yes, a scout force
Wow, the amount of commitment to make good videos is amazing
Thanks for both parts. Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next part.
This is a great video. The Tyranids would already be terraforming the entire planet full of brood pools and flesh vines infecting the planet on a even microbial molecular level.
And lets remember folks. All current hivefleets invading our galaxy is but the vanguard.
I soooooo want you guys to do some Heresy and Imperium vs Tau stuff. Like the battle of Cthonia or The true scale of a Tau army(I forget what blue fish letters it's called)
I really like how Jo Wandrini's - Sciophobia has become kinda an unofficial WH40k music
Amazing, so looking forward to the next instalment
Thanks for that. It was AWESOME 😊
3:21 Spotting that Grim Dark Terrain. :D
Amazing work, can't wait for the next part
Thanks man that's what I've been waiting for
You should make a Sons of Horus Army scale video. It would be a lot but it would be cool
I've been looking forward to this
Invicta is really outdoing themselves
Came to the channel for history, found other things I already love and participate in. Sweet.
You NEED to somewhat put space marines in this series! Rly guys
Absolute gem you created there. Can’t wait for more 👍
This is absolutely fantastic, would you please make one of this video for imperial guards on the offensive?
Guard-issue lasrifles don't discharge like that. It's a single, momentary bolt analogous to a gunshot, not a held or persistent beam.
Also, rigging the bridges to blow is a tactical mistake. Those crossings are valuable chokepoints where defensive fire can converge - the 'nids, like water, tend to favor the path of least resistance, and will naturally funnel to those points, deliberately disregarding their own disadvantage. All that matters to the hivefleet is the biomass it can get from a world, until the cost becomes too much - until that moment, they're all-in with bottomless confidence.
I noticed that too, the lasguns. I also noticed the train noise was incorrect. Those were single axle wagons, but the audio went "clack clack - clack clack" which is typical for wagons with 4 axles (2 per bogey). Super autistic nitpick tho.
!FOR THE EMPER... HAAAAA! * gets devoured*
