    The Necrons actually have a good reason to unite against the Tyranids, if they want to return to flesh and blood bodies then they need to stop the Tyranids from devouring everyone. Also the weapons of the Necrons are quite effective against the Tyranids because they can destroy biomass.

      read about hive fleet kronos . not all hive fleets need biomass . the day the tyranids will create a specialised anti necro fleet the necrons will lose advantage just like how kronos is a chaos hunter and still undefeated by chaos . kronos even ignored once a whole imperial fleet and only destroyed the chaos fleet because it was made for defeating an enemy . you all think tyranids are just about eating but you forget the likes of kronos tiamat and hydra .tiamat and hydra especially do not care about gathering biomass .

    I thought the necrons would have the best chance at defeating the nids..... especially since the Necron arsenal and technology counteracts the Tyranids in every way.
    Necrons don’t rely on the psychers/the warp so the shadow is useless, their “gauss” molecular dissipation weapons can melt away swarms. Their high resistance to physical trauma along with damage regeneration and body reconstitution means that the Necrons can at best just shrug off most tyranid attacks, and at worst straight up rob the tyranids of any bodies to consume, if they are even able to down a necron.
    Even their spore attacks emitting poisonous gasses fail, as the necrons dont need to breath. They could just rush a hive ship, punch a hole into it and run straight up to the Hive Mommy and put her down.

      Their weapons literally change the molecular structure and destroy it making it so tyrannids cannot regenerate on their dead. Additionally when neurons are defeated or “defeated” they explode so even if the tyrannids thought of trying to eat the necrodermis they couldn’t

    I had an idea for a viral solution... But it works based on a different principle; it simply makes infected Nids always see other hives as potential enemies. Reasons this could work when other viruses fail, is that it doesn't harm the infected with anything that requires adaptation, or would even be necessarily noticable. Also, the survivors/victors would be the ones to keep/spread it the disease.
    They could even continue to be susceptible to the psychic commands of the 'enemy' Nids, or the greater Hive, still responding to "Kill them all!" etc, even if they didn't know where it was coming from.

    • @Siathuan
      @Siathuan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ... other 'hives', as in Hive Fleets? Then it wouldn't do much of anything, since hive fleets already engage in mutual cannibalism; the strongest feeds, the weakest get eaten, and Tyranids as a whole are strengthened in the process because all of the biomass is recycled.
      Even if it makes them kill one another, it has been established with the lore of the Ymgarl Genestealers that the Hive Mind can avoid incorporating potentially detrimental traits.
      And that is IF the virus can acruelly override the Hive Minds control, which seems unlikely.

      Nids already fight each other whenever they meet. The stronger fleet destroys the weaker one, but the nids as a whole if anything get stronger because no biomass is lost and the biomass is in the hands of a more competent fleet.

  • @TheQuietOne937
    @TheQuietOne937 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only real weakness of the Tyranids is their slow movement speed once they drop out of warp. Their fleets are open to long range bombardment through space. The imperium could fit their planets with appropriate defenses and bleed hive fleets as they approach planets. It's not a fix, but it would soften fleets as they approach planets.
    To beat the Tyranids, you'd have to employ strategies everywhere until the Tyranids lose biomass on invasions on average. Then you starve them.
    Also, the doom of Malentai can eat warp energies so the isolation theory impossible >.>

    It is canon thought that the astronomicon did not lure the Tyrranids in, even because of it's own range (it doesn't reach outside the galaxy). In fact, they were unintentionally attracted by warsmith Dantioch (who was a ridiculously badass loyalist iron warrior from the heresy BTW), after he overloaded a Necron artifact made out of Blackstone known as the pharos to prevent it from being used by the night lords for better communication and FTL travel.

    Luring the Tyranids into the webway sounds ridiculously dangerous to me. Even if that section is cordoned off, there is still a chance that the Tyranids could find their way into the greater webway and back out of a portal themselves. Thereby bringing everything back to square one.

      Yea it's a common misconception that all of them continuesly grow stronger, instead they simply evolve to match the situation they are in and simply grow their pool of available genetic options, an army that can adapt their weapons or fighting style ahead of how long it takes for the nids to response and adapt can always be one step ahead of them, the tau are a an example of a faction that can quite easily do that

    I've got a theory : what if the nids were trying to consume the emperor, following his trail from the astronomicon ? Eating him would give them the "missing link" to get the ability to be able to feed from the immaterium, since the emperor is physical (and edible) but also the equivalent of a godlike warp entity...
    It's reminding me of the apocalypse, 12 : "And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days."
    Wouldn't it be cool that the nids would be the dragon, humanity the woman, and the soon to be birthed child the "star-child", the true god emperor born again from the warp ?
    So, the devourer would be defeated simply by resisting long enough to allow the emperor to rise from his throne and be born as the star-child, causing the hive mind to retreat in fear...

    There are ways to fight the Tyranids already, it's just that GW writers never bother to read the lore. For example, Blanks and Pariahs can disconnect Tyranids warforms from the Hive Mind. Also, Geller fields and Reality bombs would work in a similar way. Culexus Clade might have even better tools for this.
    There are also dimensional tesseracts, such as the one Trazyn uses to keep a Hive Fleet prisoner on his desk. The dimensional volume can range from small building-sized internal space, to planetary or solar system size, and even more for a Tesseract Vault like the ones used to imprison the C'tan. The Necrons have many more advanced tools in their inventory, but they probably forgot about them, along with GW writers.
    As for the Warp as a prison theory, there are numerous instances in the lore where Tyranid fleets enter a Warp portal and appear someplace else in the galaxy, yet not really affected by the passage.
    The Webway as prison would work for a time, with the risk of further infection into other sections of the Webway. The Eldar are quite famous for screwing things up, for themselves and others, and there are many factions or other races with access to the Webway, including the Orks and the Dark Eldar and even Chaos. Hoping to contain some Hive fleet( or all of them) in the tunnels and nobody poking at the lock in 40k is rather stupid. Of course there would be millions of wanna-be duelists or some insane sorcerers eager to release the Kraken again.

    I don't think the incarceration theory would work, because it requires the Hive Mind to be so stupid that it sends its entire army into the Warp all at the same time. But even with an Astronomicon-scale piece of bait, it has no reason to do that. It would at most send in one fleet, and either consume the bait world entirely or the coalition would have to engage it in a straight-up fight to prevent it from doing so in hopes of luring more of the fleet in. Which is the very thing they're trying to avoid in the first place.

    4 greater demons of each god came to the world to claim it for chaos but were bit buffled that no humans where on the planet and a kinda a supressive aura was there, they thought the tyranids and first the tyranids saw them as potential biomater.
    but the the deamons changed the through the power of warp the world and nurgles plagues reaped havoc. that changed something in the strategy of the hiveminf instead seeing biomater in chaos demons, the tyranids saw in them a rivaling predator using biowores and lot more zoanthrophes to get the demons off the world in which they succeeded.

Chaos make deals when an intelligent being is vulnerable like with the fallen space marines. You may be able to lure them with the false astronomicon, and weaken them using chaos allies, however, Hunger is the one strong emotion that Tyranids feel. Enough belief in this concept and desire to save their hive mind which as a whole is under threat could finaly help them form a pact with such an entity. If humans and orks can make a powerful religion by concentrating on a single personality, it would be simple for a single Tyranid faction with it's hive mind to do the same.

The Shapers of the Kroot create a special shaping program to absorb the DNA of Norn Queens or other lead synapse creatures (despite their moral and spiritual disgust for eating Tyranids). The Kroot hybrids form a psychic choir of their own and mimic the Tyranid synapse, confusing or redirecting a swarm, or even commanding it. This may need to be done simultaneously with the death of whatever organism is controlling the swarm at the time. A sort of psychic hack.

    Major issue with the incarceration theory actually arises when you examine the case of the Doom of Malan'tai. A singular Zoanthrope that was specialized by the hive mind to devour souls instead of biomass, which then went on to A) Become invulnerable to all the attacks of an Eldar Craftworld and B) Ripped the entire craftworld apart single handedly. This effectively proves that biomass is not the catch all food source of the Tyranids, and adds an element of risk to putting the Tyranids in the immaterium as they might simply evolve to devour being within that as well.
    Or, in a hilarious twist of fate, they might battle chaos over the souls of the damned. I would love to see a box set where Slaanesh and Tyranids are fighting over those tasty Eldar souls. I bet it would be quite a power source too since Slaanesh basically wiped our their entire civilization when they spawned.

    I don't believe the incarceration theory would work for a couple simple reasons. Since the Tyranids have to travel literal millions of light years to their destination, it can take a minimum of thousands of years to traverse from one galaxy to another, and the Pharos is frequently accredited as the signal that attracted the Tyranids. So they would need to be capable of surviving thousands of years without food in the void of space, they would not starve nearly as quickly as you'd assume.
    Especially since many Tyranids lack functional digestive systems. They are created, spawned, and deployed with the sole purpose to kill enemies, consume biomass, and die in reclamation pools. Nourishment is unnecessary for soldiers, only for the hive fleet to create more Tyranid soldiers. Tyranids are made only for the purpose of war, and wouldn't likely be made in times of scarcity. So if incarceration was their means of getting rid of Tyranids, it would take a long time to starve them out completely.
    Eventually they would find a way out of the warp or find a channel to a portal out of the web way. The only hope I see is that chaos would war against the Tyranids in the warp, however demons and other warp entities that die in the warp die for good. So I don't see the warp gods losing various demons, cultists, or chaos marines to defeat Tyranid hive fleets.
    Maybe for thousands of years in the warp or webway the Tyranids would not be an issue for the galaxy until they manage to escape, but that doesn't prevent the various smaller splinter fleets that may have escaped incarceration, the isolated forces of tyranids on planets, or the innumerable genestealer cults that infiltrated societies.Regardless, I think getting rid of Tyranids is as futile as getting rid of the Orks. It won't get rid of them all and it won't be for long.

      the "Starving" out aspect comes from the fact that Demons would not produce biomass on death and reform later at the behest of their god. Kill a bloodletter 80 times and it will still keep coming back. The Tyranids however will slowly lose their biomass pool since each death will cost them some biomass, more if the bodies can't be reclaimed. With no way to replenish their stock and under nonstop assault from demons eventually they would run low enough that a hive mind would wind up dying and with that the brood goes with it.

  • @3DavyJones

    My 2 cents on the video. The tyrranids communicate via a "telepathic link" with eachother, which has a certain frequency in the material world. In today's world there are machines called "scramblers" which basically generate noise and destroy communications in an area. If such a device were to be created, it would generate this sci fi "anti link signal" which would at the very least severe the tyrranids' ability to communicate ergo turning them mute and deaf. I think I also read in a lore of a turn based warhammer 40k that when a tyrranid fleet's connection is severed, they turn on and feed on each other and they rather vulnerable when they fight each other making them easy prey to a coordinated imperium attack. Hopefully other factios could help build this technology.

I would think that even assuming it could be done ONCE with cooperation, it is not sustainable, because everytime the Astronomicon has to be shut down to lure in the latest brand of 'Nids, the Imperium is crippled against all other foes.This is assuming the Hivemind doesn't adapt to that particular strategy, because you know, the Tyranids aren't good at adapting. Fun thought experiment, but I don't think it's viable either.

    If the size of the tyranid swarm isn't exaggerated in any way, the plan to lock them in the warp or somewhere else simply won't work. Presumably you could get them to go there but just because of the sheer amount of space the swarm spans the tyranids would crush the life out of the rest of the galaxy on the way in because it's not going to be one single file line, no most likely it'll become a giant death ball around the entrance with the tyranids snacking on every planet on their in.
    They'll be nothing left to lock them in, well maybe the Necrons but at that point it'll just be them and only if they can keep their shit from being destroyed.
    With not only their ridiculous numbers but also their incredible adaptability it makes it hard to make any one plan that will work. Perhaps take a few genestealers sacrifice a couple planets and study the genestealer cults ability to draw in tyranids, then try replicate that signal in the hearts of stars all across the milkyway.

Presumably this could be AI based and while that presents corruption problems from Chaos, maybe something like that if created by say the leagues of Voltan would make a sufficient enemy for the tyranids, because it's the same idea, another competitor for resources, but in this case instead of bio mass, it's machines converting biomass into more machines. I'm think of that swarm of nanobots from the movie "The day the earth stood still". It would consume everything from biomass to minerals and metals, basically just a hungrier version of the tyranids, also it's far smaller, like any individual is vastly smaller than a fly, so it's much harder to fight. It's literally just a mist of nanobot death. Good luck tyranids.

  • @joeallen7981
    @joeallen7981 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like this idea, a couple of flaws though:
    Don’t treat the Tyranids as a mindless swarm of ants. They are not all as dumb as a gaunt. The synapse creatures are tapped directly into the genius intellect of the Hive Mind and are quite capable of strategy.
    For the trap to work the entire species would need to be lured in all at once, and the Hive Mind would be smart enough to leave at least a few score of Norn Queens out in the galaxy as a contingency, and Hormagaunt eggs are littered everywhere the Tyranids don’t completely consume. The only way you’d have a chance of luring the entire species in one go would be if all the bio-mass in the galaxy was already consumed. Bit of a non-starter even if you could get every faction in the galaxy to stop killing each other long enough to cooperate on this project.
    As for starving them out in the Web-Way we know the Tyranids can cross intergalactic space so they must have some sort of stasis / hibernation that they can enter where they don’t need to eat or breath, so they can happily wait as long as it takes.
    Then there’s the problem of keeping them there. The Hive Mind is powerful enough to frighten the Chaos Gods themselves so with enough time it would figure out a way to open a portal back to the material universe. The Hive Mind would also likely figure out how to usurp control of or create its own versions of demons, so it wouldn’t be under constant assault.
    Then there’s the time dilation. Thousands of years can pass outside in the blink of an eye inside so if anyone ever accidentally pops the cork on the prison… pop goes the lictor and you’re back to a full scale invasion.

    There are plenty which would consume and/or destroy tissue. The hard part is delivery. You have to have something that is slow enough to allow many to be infected but fast enough to cause death. Everything available just kills stuff quickly so a payload delivered to a Hive ship may take a chunk out of it but not enough to kill the entire thing.
    Nurgle likes for his diseases to infect and then mutate the victims. I have no doubt that he could easily concoct something that would infect and kill large numbers of nids. The Tyranids would be able to evolved past it but they would lose large swaths. If Nurgle did that to the surrounding planets then the Nids would be starved to death as any genetic material would be corrupted or just unusable (dna can be decayed from disease)

Start with a large outlying zone and then encourage them to turn back, to feast on planets overlooked in the initial advance. Given the instinctive drives of the swarm, it might be some time before the level of abstract thought needed to examine the situation tactically. Might be too late, with the tendril weak, hungry and a long way from any viable targets. They can't evolve away from hunger, I think. Not if they want to remain Tyranids.

This could be through the use of Blanks/Pariahs/Gellar Fields/Blackstone Spires/ect.. The more confused they are the more forces you can defeat and the more they waste reinforcing the attack. The general bleeding tactic you describe is already at least partially in use now. Figuring out how to sever/scramble the synapse link between forces would allow you to keep them from learning from the experiences.

    You would have to really trap such a rediclious load of them and keep the portal open long enough and the hivemind itself would have to be cut off from finding out what you are doing, i can imagine it pretty quickly finding out, and commanding the tendrils to retreat almost immediately upon the first tendril ending up in the warp.

    See the nids (great eater) so super super adaptable to anything so only 2 things that are plawsaplble to beat them of you will, #1 is make a bioform that is as adaptable as the nids, like a virus, a super flexible virus that can adapt to the nids, like a super AI "Biovirus" hybrid, or a army that is as adaptable as the nids #2 is force the nids DNA to a fixed DNA (hinder or stop their adaptability) for a period of time then kill them with the Tyrnid Killer Super Virus or TKSV.

      I really like the first idea. Using and AI or even the men of iron to kill the tyranids that then turn on their creators would be such a 40k thing to happen

    the doom of malan'tai, proves that souls can be consumed by tyranids.

    I don't think that Hive Mind even has conceptual framework that Chaos can reach out to, even if protective effect of Shadow in The Warp subsides for a time due to some unusual event.

    I would probably go for a way to disrupt the ability of the Tyranids to communicate with eachother. Could possibly create hive fleets that would fight each other?

    So what you're saying is technically Trazyn in the infinite could just pokeball and starve out all the Tyranids with his pocket labyrinths that have been used to capture a any number of artifacts for his museum

      And with the arcs of omen technically there are multiple hell lighthouses in the warp

    The Chaos gambit is a good idea, but Chaos would try to corrupt the Nids in portions and then re-release them into real space
