- After the defeat of Hive Fleets Behemoth and Kraken, the Imperium might have been forgiven for expecting a break from the Tyranid menace. But just a few years later, the first tendrils of a new, even bigger Hive Fleet would enter the galaxy from an unexpected direction.

Ian pronounces tyranids and behemoth as if they're exotic words and then proceeds to pronounce jormungandr as britishly as possible
I flinched every time! :)
Tyrant, Tyrannosaurus, Tyranid. Seems like a logical pronunciation tbh. But yeah, Jor instead of Yor did hurt my ears too.
Cor-don got me
His way of pronouncing many words in the lore is a constant source of discomfort to me, but other than that the content is so good that I keep coming back.
@@AMegaByteYT Indeed. The planet in which the Tyranids are named after is also called Tyran, in lore pronounced Tie ran. So Tie ranids is technically the proper pronunciation, I suppose it all depends on where you are from as to how you pronounce it in English.
I think my favourite thing about the Tyranids is the maps. “So here’s a map of the galaxy and they went…uh…that way…”.
Shout out to my boys the Red Wolves and the only notable thing they’ve ever done: get eaten by Leviathan.
Lets all pray to the hive mind for this banquet we are about to receive!
"Single largest act of genocide inflicted on the Imperium by its own forces since the Horus Heresy."
I love a universe in which such events happen often enough to form a list.
"A Broken what?"
"Broken Arrow. It's a Class 4 Strategic Theatre Emergency. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon."
"I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it."
Kryptman: Aight imma gonna fight Leviathan
(several destroyed planets later)
Damn Leviathan got hands
"Several" is doing a lot of work in that sentence ;)
“Hey kryptmann, how’s it going?”
“BILLIONS ARE DEAD!”
“Ah, so average?”
“Yeah, pretty much”
The idea of the Tyranids attempting to subsume an Ork infested planet has always fascinated me. The size of the mega-gargants the Boyz would produce. The size that Bosses would swell to thanks to the relentlessness of the fighting. Could the Orks' reproductive spores gestate within the Tyranid ooze? What new creatures would the hive mind have to create to take them on? Would the shadow in the warp disrupt the Orks' gestalt psychic field? It'll never be fleshed out since neither participant are Imperial or Imperial adjacent but the questions...
Tyranids: "As we kill you, we get bigger"
Orks: "GOOD"
There's a fanfic from the Heresy Online forums, "The Shape of the Nightmare to Come" that posits (among many, many other things) that a protracted Ork/Tyranid war would lead to a hybrid form emerging that annihilates half the galaxy...
It's all very silly, but that part of it always felt pretty plausible to me.
When the Tyranids start making their bioforms red to go quicker it's time to worry...
I feel the Ork's waagh energy serves a similar purpose to the hive mind.
Bugs Mr. Rico! Zillions of them!
That film could have been a 40k film. Right down to fascist fans being confused by satire.
I’ve always loved the fact that leviathan was attacked by Ka’banda, imagine the spite this dude has that the piles of alien skulls made a khorne altar visible from orbit.
Truly amazing
I enjoy it, mainly because I read the early horus heresy novels where he fought Sanguinius.
“If you truly do hail from the realm men once called Hell, then when you return there; tell them it was _Sanguinius_ who threw you back!”
The Tyranids, the only force which can never truly be understood or comprehend... The most eldritch and unknowable force in 40K.
The only thing that can be known for certain is they HATE Blood Angels.
@@MrPooleishthats such a silly line by gw. So much fanboyism to pandering to space marines, and such a disrespect for the concept of the tyranids.
And guess what?! Surprise surprise, it had to come from a ultrasimp!
Bet they will never forgive or forget about that time in macragge. Salty bois.
@The Swarmlord it's not the first time GW has stripped a horror faction of their Unknowable Qualities either. The Necrons used to be completely silent with no personality, even amongst the Overlords. Just mechanical skeletons silently murdering entire populations at the beck-and-call of their Star Vampire gods.
@@MrPooleish Lore does kinda shift around a lot.
Granted I do love the new necrons it's kinda what made me definitively choose them as my first army.
@@katelystt don't get me wrong, Necrons are much better with personalities. I just don't want my bugs to have sympathetic motivations, much less understandable ones.
Ka'bandha crashing into the Tyranid hordes like a meteor was one of the best moments in the Devastation of Baal book!
DEUX EX MACHINA!
All the bloody time.
I wear it as a badge of honor at this point.
Tyranids are so outlandish superior that plot armor and nonsensical cheesy tv tropes are necessary to be pulled off to stop them.
@@MagralhoPT More like "Diabolus Ex Machina".
What I find this series of video fascinating is that all the stories of the tyrannic war is told from the defenders. We still do not know who or what are the Tyrannids nor what are their ultimate goal except that they devour and devour. Every name given to the Tyrannids are name given by their victims and every battle is told from the point of view of their prey rather then through the Tyrannids. It really gives this feel that these wars aren't against an overwhelming faction but a force of nature.
That is something I love as well! Its fascinating!
This is also why I dont mind that we always lose the engagements in the lore... because if we win, there is no one left to tell the tale. And we move forwards all the time. So, most of the time we win. But its never shown.
The Tieranids are just the ultimate personification of galactic munchies
@@robcanisto8635 The Hive Mind is actually the fifth Chaos God!
Ka'bandha: NOBODY WILL TEAR APPART THE BLOOD ANGELS EXCEPT ME! And maybe the boyz...
the visual of the maps showing Leviathan's many many tendrils rising up **through** the galactic plane has always been an image that's stuck in my mind. the sheer SCALE of the threat is just truly mind boggling even in a setting like 40k.
I really hope we get a Kryptman model now the 4th war is kicking off. He’s always seems a fascinating character.
At least he has a plan.
Yeah, I remember first reading about him in a bit of fiction in White Dwarf way, waaaaay back when they started to flesh out the Tyranids. Both the story and him made quite an impression. Cool character.
Short story: numerous hungry bugs invade the galaxy, fighting humans and orks, but are repelled by the biggest demonic incursion ever and indomitus crusade saves the day... This is the best description of "there is only war"
3:16 the Hodor sector?? 😮
Helping the 10th edition hype train chug along with this series!
Honestly, Ian makes the best lore videos
Great video. Seeing the invasion in 3D and it coming from bottom of galactic plain was mind blowing and changed my whole mind of the threat. Very informative video and concise. Keep up the good work.
I dont know if you are new to 40k, but dont take it wrong.
Most people have little to no idea about nids, yet they act like nids are "oh them bugs... get a bigger spray can!" (Dismissive) when in reality nids are by far the biggest threat the galaxy has ever seen. To the point that all the other threats combined pale in comparison.
I can understand if new people have no idea, as they have yet to explore a lot of the 40k universe, and we all have to start somewhere.
My issue is with long time fans that dismiss nids. Then, when provided with evidence and visualize it like you did in the video it hits them like a truck.
And wait for another 15 days till the 4th tyranic war lore hits and people realize that the nids are not only comming from the east, from under the galactic plane but also *now* from the galactic west and from above the galactic plane!
If it was bad before, now there is evidence that the whole galaxy is surrounded and nids come hard and thick from all directions.
Let that sink in! Happy wargaming!
FIFTEEN SECONDS MORE LIKE
I loved those blood angels books, I don't know why but I got it into my head that it would be cool if a chaos chapter of the blood angels had turned up to fight in the void. Obviously they couldn't fight side by side with the Imperial marines, maybe just one vox message would come from them, "We have come to honour the Angel" or something like that. Then they would be seen doing hit and run attacks on the edge of the hive fleet, again and again.
feel like you missed a cool detail not mentioning that the battle of Baal was the largest gathering of Space Marines since the end of the Heresy prior to the Indomitus Crusade. 29,000 Space Marines, 8 chapters lost completely with another 6 almost gone, every other chapter reduced to less than 500 marines. Truly one of the largest battles in Imperial history. Other battles like Cadia and Vigilus had more chapters present but Baal had the most marines
The pantheon should probably want to stop the Nids too, eh? No organic life = no warp
I'm surprised you never mentioned the Stark Report of the Strategic Collective... The three hivefleets to date are tendrils of a superfleet, and that 500% recruitment, that is Every Man Woman and Child will be needed to fight such an invasion
Needed but not enough.
About damn time someone starts to make sense... cus all this people are like "lol just get a bigger bugspray can!" These people have no idea!
@@MagralhoPT Bring all those tasty Human sized snacks to the Hive, instead of making the hive go to them?
God I love the idea of Chaos fighting the Tyranids, just letting our two greatest enemies unwillingly slaughter each other
Great series. Love your presentation style.
4:44 - A calm feeling of relief when Ian pronounces it without the stress on the "tie".
But, let's be honest we all know that the y in Tyranids is pronounced in the same way as in lawyer and the t is silent! Gawd, get it right Ian! It's pronounced 'urine-ids!
Again your attention to detail and presentation is awsome
Thanks!
Can you make a video :
Star wars the Yuuzhang Vong War
The shield of Baal campaign was so very cool, in lore, in art and in really interesting scenarios (like the one where a gigantic global tsunami is slowly moving across the battlefield as the Imperial forces try and defend a gigantic crawler vehicle) with some great Black Library fiction. I still hold the end of the novella Deathstorm as personal canon regarding the Spawn of Cryptus rather than what's said in Codexes.
Great video as always! But why does everyone forgets about the Cryptus campaign? It may be the coolest story put out in 7th edition.
By the way, I wonder if there's any reason why the most recent developments in Octarius, namely the Tyranid victory there, hasn't been mentioned in the video. More than that, I wonder why GW has brought it up when discussing the new Tyrannic War and why should we count the Octarius conflict as "ended"...
Oh hell, having covid and the flu and trying to read the video description was a nightmare.
I was looking at the description and all my brain could register was "After the defeat of Hive Fleets Beverly and Karen...", and I was just picturing the Astra Militarum in customer service jobs, facing down a load of verbally abusive, demeaning, entitled older female customers with Tyranid heads and a certain haircut.
I think I need to go take a fever reliever now. Thanks Ian, you gave me "war flashbacks" (read: I worked retail, and I do have PTSD, but not about that job) and the reminder to take my meds.
I miss the days when people could take PTSD seriously
Hope you explore the Devastation of Baal in detail some time soon! That was an epic book!
I dont know why i still cant get over the way you say behemoth. Love the vids tho.
I wonder what the next hive fleet will be called? Hive fleet Chunky? Hive fleet Bigboy?
Hive Fleet Schmive Fleet.
Hive fleet Maga lol
2 major things to know of 1 29K-30K Blood angel Space marines died only 300-400 survived on Baal and only the Lamenters weren’t there which is both lucky and unlucky 2 for the Blood Angels it was only 4-6 years while the rift made it feel like 50-60+ years if I’m correct
Been listening to some Flesh Tearers stuff recently. I love Seth he is such a good character.
Very well-paced and collected info. Some of the planets aren’t talked about online very much, so, I appreciate your attention to detail!
Let’s hope the Fourth is just as exciting, if not more so. Well, actually terrifying. Thank the Emperor we don’t live in that time. No matter what part of the body they attack, Tyranids disturb me, and I’d rather jump of a voidship honestly. Lol
I never understood the tyranids i mean if theyre so smart wouldnt they know if they wipe out all their food source, eventually theyll starve. Just like humans would only take what they needed, and depending on the seasons move on let an area replenish flora/fauna. And by the time they circled back to the area it was replenished.
There are millions of galaxies all populated with food for the tyranids, they will literally never run out of food.
Great video! It put all the stuff I knew in good order, and it even helps me understand better the Blood Angels series on Warhammer+. Good work!
I can understand the discord with the pronunciation of "Tyranid" but to pronounce "Jormungandr" that way...
Apart from that Ian, love the video, keep them coming.
The Angels of Death 3D animated miniseries is set just before the invasion of Baal. Beautiful art direction, good story, looks fantastic, and great voice talent, but characters suffer from a bad case of early 2000s CGI wooden-face because they did motion capture only, not full performance capture. Hopefully the sequel (which is going to be a prequel for some reason) will do better in that regard. Worth a look if anyone hasn't seen it.
Kryptman is older than 250 years old? This 10,000 year timespan from the Heresy to the present doesn't seem that big now.
Loved this series!
It'd be cool to get a book that just collates all the fluff from previous codexes + artwork, model showcases - old models, new models, paint schemes, hobby guides - without having to pay for rules that come and go so quickly
Another awesome video!
This one is my favorite imperial war I think
I'm taking mortal wounds from Tie-Ra-Nid's over here.
Bee hee moth. Tier a nids.
Do more deaths guard
At this point I’m pretty sure Ian mispronounces words just to drive engagement! 👍🏻
I truly hope we see and alliance of Imperium, Tau, Eldar and possibly Necron to fight this threat in the future as a last ditch, desperate attempt to survive.
It is bigger than all of them put together, and would be epic in its massivity...
And I want the Nids to win...
is there a stated reason why we don’t just use the life eater on them?
Because said virus destroys their enemies too.
The imperium blows up planets the Tyranids are still digesting where they can.
Is there a name of the song for the intros and outtros?
Its in the description
@@ArbitorIanthank you found it..
Amazing content as always.. Really enjoyed your coverage of the nids
I've been looking forward to this
something has to be done about leviathan because as its going the galaxy is about to his 200% screwed
So, this is the end of The Old World, 40k style? To be followed by a new setting and game called AoJ (Age of Jonson), the IMMORTAL Realms floating in the Chaos Void, three pages of rules and no points (or point).
no
Jourmugander = your-monger
I understand the thinking behind saying Tyrannids like "Tyrant-nids" but our group always said "tier-rannids." Strange that
Can tyranids eat demons? I would imagine that they cannot.
There is something I don’t understand. If the tyranids can’t warp travel, wouldn’t it take them 100 of years to just move between systems. This narrative seems to move a bit too fast. Maybe I’m just thinking too hard about it.
The narwal is a thing. Its some exoctic tech.
Basically a special bioform that acelerates to insane speeds but not very fast. And it creates a slipstream in its wake that the rest of the hive ships can ride behind.
The issue is, it cant accelerate when its within a gravity well, so the closer they are to a destination planet/starsystem the closer to regular space travel speed they must move.
Intergalactically and interstelar, they are fast! Interplanetary travel, not so much.
@@MagralhoPT I’d love to believe if you if this wasn’t potentially Hive Mind back propaganda 😉
Lol, kidding, Gorgon was badass
@@michaeldimare3786 all of the hive fleets are kinda cool.
And to be fair... we had a hell of a intro into the setting
1st day in we look at the biggest guy in prison (the mighty ultramarines) and we wiped the floor so hard with the best of the best (their 1st company and papa smurf) that they are still salty to this day.
This is why we are being toned down by GW all the time. Cus they cant have this level of badassery from anyone else besides space marines (and specially ultramarines) or the space marine players will cry and shout foul and rend their garments in public because how dare GW let anyone be as cool as space marines! Or let anyone but space marines win! Ehe
What book is all this from such as 7:06?
Codex Tyranids, 5th edition, p. 30, "The Ghorala Swarm".
Dude, its Tyranids not Tiranids. :o
Hail to the Algo god 👍
Sometimes 40K lore makes no sense at all. „The biggest tendril ever“ and the battle is commanded by a swarm lord and not a Dominatrix? They always break their own lore.
Are there books on the tyrannic 3rd war that are worth reading?
That's not what happened anymore that's Bahamas hi fleet by heinous
So when are you going to start doing audio books?
Jormanganda is pronounced YOR-mon-gan-da
I've always thought that the way you say "Tyranids" was the correct way to say it versus the way one hears it said 99% on the time.
it's not the correct way to say it tho Tie-ranid is commonly accepted wrong. GW employees even all pronounce it the correct way. Its a weird hill to stand on lol
@@michaeleerdmans3500I do have a hypotesis that its well planned light ragebating to drive engagement. Im mad to fall for it even when I see it but its just mild fun
Last video was the same.
Now I engrage with the comment section just out of spite
@@michaeleerdmans3500 But isn't the World in which the Nids are named after called Tyran, pronounced Tie-ran in lore?
Isn’t Hive Fleet Leviathan implied to be a mere scouting force?
Yep. And if you look at the maps, the galaxy is surrounded.
And if you see the sacrifices that everyone has to endure just to stop a mere scouting force...
And I laugh at people saying there is a chance if only (insert their own delusional idea)
The tyranid menace its the end times of 40k. No matter what! The whole galaxy could band together, convert all the mass in entire sectors into weapons and ammo and its still not enough.
The tyranids have multiple galaxy-level orders of magnitude above what the combined factions of the milky way represent. And they are united. Sycronized and of a single mind! Anyone who thinks anything in existance can beat that its delusional or a blind fanboy.
@@MagralhoPT its pretty much a race between chaos and the tyranids to see who gets to devour most of the galaxy first, since both have insane power levels the other factions can't match. Of course the irony is that both factions would then die out if they actually won because there'd be no food left to sustain them..
Though in the end the real winners are the orks, since they get to have the greatest scrap of all!
@@midorixiv what a shortsighted vision. Did the nids starved before arriving into the milky way? No! Why? Because theres more galaxies out there. Did they starve during the intergalact travel? No! Because they can go in hibernation/stasis to preserve resources.
You only see the galaxy as eveeything that exists, and once that is gone, there is nothing else.
As for nids... the galaxy are just some 3th serving on a buffet. And once we done with it, we will move along and find other buffet to engorge ourselves on. Thats how much "you" matter.
@@midorixiv nids cant match chaos? Let me introduce you to our first and cruddest iterarion against chaos- hive fleet kronos- and there is speculation that hive fleet tiamat is working on an efficient way to lock chaos into the warp and starve them after but then again, speculation.
As for the orks, yeah! They will be very pleased to have the biggest scrap ever, before being ultimately wiped out so, at least they have to have fun!
They’ve said that about each hive fleet that’s appeared to date.
You should add a tyranid to your greenscreen
Every time I hear stories about the Tyranids (to be pronounced at your own risk) I think of how much cooler StarCraft’s Zerg could have been.
Make my gibbering space bugs mysterious, not an “oops” by the pseudo-old ones. Unless, of course, they are…
But think how great the tyranids could be if the swarmlord was really a girl with high heels.
great stuff ian, 10th is gunna be a belter so much lore that i need to inject :D
Gear up to 10th .. Chefs Kiss 💋 ... ✌️💚
So 4th war is more of a 3.5th war really.
Ultramarines again. Why's it always the Ultramarines?
Of it has to be... gw has to sell miniatures. And we all know that within the hobby, people who are insecure and need to win all the time everytime or their mommy will not love them pick imperium! Because they are the good guys and they always win!
And if you are a specially insecure snowflake that needs reassurance and pandering to, you love painting blue! Because blue is the absolute best color and the good color!
@@MagralhoPT The grand irony is that everything you just said is something a very insecure person would say. Small PP energy.
@@marcusweathers3070 Nah bro! just calling the hypocrisy. if I had small pp energy I'd be defending ultrasimps that cant take a L. I laugh in the face of that crap!
@@MagralhoPT Ultramarines sucked for half of 9th edition.
Lol technically cryptman was just the tyranids waiter “would sir like to look at the wine menu… perhaps some amersec with your ork buffet?” Lol
dude, you have a talent for pronouncing words strangely (tie-ranids instead of tiera-nids, jor-mangander instead of your-mungunder etc.)
The person who invented this species really needs sphyco logical help!! 🤦♂️😂😂
FYI, I copy and pasted this comment from a prior video I watched that I haven't gotten responses on, prob because the video was 2 years old...I'm fishing for advice..Thanks!
1:25 Pronouncing the J in Jormungandr. 🤦♂️
You keep pronouncing Behemoth wrong, its Be-Hem-Oth. Great videos though :)
Is that how "Tyranid" is pronounced?
Yes, 100% definitely
@@ArbitorIannooooooooooo
No its not! Dont let anyone tell you othetwise!
@@ArbitorIan thanks i haven't listened to any audiobooks, so as kids we just kinda mirrored "tyranny".
@@MagralhoPT oh!
I do somewhat enjoy the way people are getting so wound up about the pronunciations of fake words for fake creatures named after a fake planet, but ooft, y'all need to ease up. The stakes are so small, it's not worth burning the energy. Hell, for all we know, it's pronounced "tie-rahn-EE" because in the 40k era, 'ds' is silent.
comment for the comment god!
tieranids
Leviathan had a thing for blondes clearly.
I don't think Kryptman is guilty of genocide. He didn't initiate exterminatus on the planets bc he hated those people. Mass muder, but he did it as a fire break.
That or they made some bad recaff deliveries for him.
Cool motivation, still murder.
It would be harder to justify a fire break if trees could scream though.
@@MrPooleishin the words of ozimandias in the watchmen (great movie btw! Really recommend!)
Kill millions [...] to save BILLIONS.
Kriptman its the only one in the imperium with a vision of the true scale and horrors that the tyranids represent. On the other hand I would argue that if he trully see the real tyranid threat he knew it would be useless to shove them at the orks, but its the best he could do. And that backfired hard! Ehe
@@MagralhoPT I see it like old question of would you change the course of a train that was going to hit 1 person in order to save 5 others?
Here you go again with the incorrect pronunciation, Ian. It's pronounced "Bobert" Guilleman.
First
0:02 Here we go again....
*Can you drop it and pronounce TYRANIDS right? Please?!*
For the love of the hive mind. Geesh.
Effing food... never cooperates with ANYTHING. The lack of respect!
I like your content but just cannot get over the way you say "TIE RA NIDS" its "tear a nids" really really pisses me off and grinds my gears
Great video! And it's Yore-man-gander. EvE Online has helped me with Nordic pronunciation lol
Down vote for pronouncing Tyranid wrong
