      I want to ask what you think about this. I love your view point that horus gets killed by sanguineous falling to the black rage and then it's sanguineous vs big daddy e. But one thing that was never covered was if the emperor has to fight and kill sanguineous does that mean they could leave room open for the emperor not destroying horus's soul? What is your opinion?

No models have torches, lamps, spotlights, or lanterns. Up until now I 100% assumed that they could sense enemies in the dark, but this story confirms otherwise.

    The Imperium's mistake here was that for the most part they just stood back from the Ork worlds in Octarius and let the Orks and 'Nids go at it. Their best bet would've been to have a good-sized fleet keeping as close a watch as possible while staying out of the 'Nid ships' way. And then one the action has gone fully planet-side, Exterminatus. But I suppose with the whole Shadow in the Warp, it would be really hard to get the timing right on that.

      that can be a dangerous game the tyranids, which i think they learned from the tyranids. the more you fight orks the more they get stronger and the more orks that will flock from around the galaxy. i think the hivemind saw how much damage the orks were doing to the tyranid forms and decided that it wasn't worth the risk of farming them when they had easy targets such as imperium and tau worlds to feast on.

      If we take that the beast was a krork then we know they must be orks who are thousand pf years pld and constand fighting. If a krork will appear it is most likely Ghazgull with an power up.

I don't remember if it was an old hammer story or a fan made one. Any way it was about how the orktarious war went on for so long that the orks and tyranids basically merged into one species combining tyranid bio engineering, the orks ability to make anything out of scrap, and both species shared tenacity, adaptability, and ruthlessness into one super race that all but concurred the galaxy, even fighting other tytranids, and just before they took Terry they realized there was something bigger for them to fight and leave the galaxy.

    • @NeoIsrafil
      @NeoIsrafil Před 10 měsíci +2

      It would certainly help, but its possible that the hivemind is a combination of the psychic connection between every tyranid, meaning unless you could disrupt the connections between them ALL everywhere all at once and for a long while there would still be a hivemind large enough to outdo any human brainpower and chances are what is left would still take out whatever you were using to disrupt them from communicating.
      Imagine if every tyranid was a small chunk of the hivemind, and as more get added to that network the hivemind gets mentally powered up. Its like an array of raspberry pis being used to mine bitcoin, after you connect enough of them together they're powerful, but when you sever the link they aren't amazing.
