@darkclick24 and keep in mind, those can be worlds inhabitating 500 billion people. The tyranids attack a sytem with 1.5 billion crafts at once what is insance.
@image357 leave...just leave this world...dont even speak of such heresy...the overmind is the hive minds son..its obvious...as much as i love sc,(and trust me i love that game as well as the zerg) the tyranids are a much more defined, in depth and complicated race...the zerg(for starters)are native to this galaxy, which takes alot of the mystery out of it...they were made by a known race and also had creators rather than having evolved all on their own..so while zerg are very cool, their
@image357 storyline isnt nearly as in-depth, and the zerg were actually based on the tyranids, unless you think that the fact that sc started out as a warhammer game is irrelevant
I have a question... why is everything a rip off of this and that the way I see it there are differences however few between starcraft, warhammer 40k, halo, alien. that being said there are a lot similarities but we still love these games each in their own right, so it dosen't really matter. am i missing something about this? if so then sorry.
@Questionhex they arent all rip offs....except for sc..if they failed at basing their species or watever on whatever came before then they would be rip offs..or if they were originally intended to be the species that came before*cough*zerg*cough*...although i dont get how the flood are a rip of of tyranids...while they are similar they are different for the most part..their mroe like the aliens from deadspace(LOVE THAT GAME)
'nids don't have long heads, they also don't reproduce by gestating inside a host, nor do they have eggs. Xenomorphs are very dull compared to nids, you've got the queen and a bunch of warriors, tyranids also have to be within reach of the hive mind while aliens don't. Tyranids are capable of space travel and don't bleed acid, nor can they climb on any surface. The only thing they have in common is that they attack in mass and even then there was only one alien in the original film.
Giger didn't copy the design of the Xenomorph from Starship Troopers. It is completely different. He designed the Xenomorph around themes of human sexuality and death. Its is a very cleverly designed creature. Both phallic and skeletal at the same time. The bugs from starship troopers are just giant bugs. Little clever design there.
@DearBossMusic while you are correct in stating that the tyranids are BASED off of the Xenomorphs, thats like saying star wars is a rip off of star trek, or that the xenomorphs are based off of the buggers(if you dont get that reference then go repent for your sins against the primachs and read Enders game), or any other subject/art is based off of any other art(and yes, creating video games, movies, and a game/history as complex as warhammer is an art)...which means that everything is a rip off
@DearBossMusic fair enough....fair enough.....and i am greatful that somebody in this world knows that reference :D
although you hafto agree with the fact that zerg are pretty much ripped of from nids..and nids and aliens from alien are very different...the aliens arent as connected(hive mind)and they dont vary as much..and they dont have their own spaceships..
They don't have their own spaceships true. But they do have a hive mind.
Yeah zerg definitely came after tyranids and were probably heavily influenced by them. However the point I was making is that everything is derived from somewhere.
@DearBossMusic of everything....although in the case of zerg, they were originally intended TO BE TYRANIDS which is why they are a rip off of tyranids..not xenomorphs...and while i think that the zerg are fucking awesome, the tyranids are much cooler in my opinion...and in terms of the xenomorphs and tyranids..i have to say it depends on what aspects of them your talking about...but generally i like the galaxy-wide significance of the tyranids rather than the small ships/planets are confined to
@DearBossMusic both aliens and the tyranids were born around the same time, tyranids were planned before ridley scotts alien was made but ridley scott's movie franchise was finished before the completion of the tyranids....in some words.....IN YOUR FACE!
@DearBossMusic Well I see Tyranids as being Archnids more then Xenomorphs. Think about it. They have camo, theres different types of them and they are able to use bio-organic weaponry (In the book they use guns similar to the Tyranids's)
Zerg is the copy of the tyranids, but none of em are ripoff the xenomorphs. Xenos dont have the hive mind, and dont "assimilate" creature's DNA, only use creatures as an incubator. Maybe the idea comes from the xenomorphs, but not a ripoff.
Also Xenomorphs do assimilate creatures DNA. Whatever creature they incubate in they absorb a small portion of its DNA. Thats why the xenomorph in Alien 3 runs on all fours, because it incubated inside a dog.
But its not the very basics of the whole race. Zerg/tyranids are like the borg, just not technical, but biological borg. Iagree with the idea, that the nids' creators got inspiration from xenos, but i dount that it would be a ctrl-c ctrl-v. Like the zerg is a ctrl-c ctrl-v from the nids.
@DearBossMusic the tyranids and zerg are both xeno life forms. thats why they all look like xenomorphs .so there not rip offs there based on what people think a xeno exo skeleton lifeform would look like
Bugs have exoskeletons. But the bugs in our natural world do not look like the Xenomorphs from Aliens. The Xenomorph's skeleton is based around the human skeleton. And do you know what 'xeno' means? It means Alien. There are plenty of Aliens that do not look like the Xenomorph.
the reason SC is having alot of simularitys in races is because SC1 was supposed to be warhammer, but Games Workshop did not like SC1 and thought it to be lorebraking (not that relic doesn't breake lore in the Dawn of war), so Blizzard desided to make it to SC as they were not allowed to call it warhammer 40k. So yes.. The SC races comes from Warhammer lore.
@ShadowKnight275 It is nothing majore. Balance mostly, like a space marine would be able to kill 20+ orks, that is obviusly not the case, so the strength of troops is the biggest issue. Another thing that comes to mind is the traitor Ogerin, as far as I know( not totaly sure) they are not smart enough to be traitors, the only real case of traitor Ogeryn was from the Harresy, when they got convinced that the traitors were the loyal, and alot more small stuff here and there.
@Rekksar lol...an ogryn thinking that the chaos are the loyalist...thats hilarious and just like those silly muscular people to do...although the boardgame itslef also breaks lore in that a space marine would probably be able to take out more than 20 orks, and a guardsmen would have zero chance of killing a marine and no matter how high a rank you are, not even a commisar(other than yarrick)would be able to kill a marine...i hate (but sympathize with)the fact that a gretchin has a chance of kill

I just wana say that the only way the imperium or any of the "good" (not so evil races) races have any chance of surviving is by allying with eachother...eldar and tau and humans vs all others :D and even then...
Petty scary. do they reverse engineer the cellular structure of their prey to evolve or foes the hive mind analyze the ongoing battle to see how troops could be improved to crush the resistance, or both?
I miss this old fluff, nowdays there are actually individuals in the tyranid fleets, those who have an identity of their own are the warriors, hive tyrants and the swarmlord.
@Sweddude sort of, but in reality they are simply a fraction of the hive minds "personality" as a whole--they are allowed to have their own identity because it suits the hive mind and because the hive mind wills it...
(i almost said overmind.....zerg are a rip off of tyranids--'nuff said)
@SgtRaybo The Hive mind that control all tyranid organisms is certenly dmart enough to implement guns. If you have read ANY lore relating to tyrandis you will understand they are not beasts but warriors controlled by a godlike alien mastermind
Since when did biological units that rely on their numbers and speed use guns if they used something such as acid or bones i'd understand but guns i don't think there smart enough to have that amount of technology
@SgtRaybo It's not a gun as in an AK 47 that is manufactured and shipped. It's an organism bred to create certain substances or other organism inside it that are then proppelled out of the first organism. Imagine you had a spitting cobra attached to your arm. That's how it works.
@SgtRaybo Each creature is a cell in a larger body that is the Tyranid super-organism that is the hive fleet. Each is subservient to the greater will of the hivemind- an ageless consciousness that permeates each creature and spans into the depths of space itself. It certainly understands ballistics and much, much more.
This video actually hardly touched on the true depths and horror of a Tyranid attack; the genestealer cults, the flora bloom, the other species of assault creatures.
@Epblueyes yea i would definatley like to learn more about the genestealers and their cults....dont know much about them. I am, after all, a servant of his divine lordship the emperor--i am his chosen warrior
@DearBossMusic See in the real world we have Science established by professionals: In fiction we have SCIENCE! Which esentially is anything the author wants to do!
@DearBossMusic they evolved to the point that they could control their own evolution--they are the pen-ultimate of all evolution possibility...thats the whole idea behind the tyranids
@sorenver actually the whole hivemind overmind idea im pretty sure originated with enders game..although the buggers arent evil they still provide the main concept behind all the things you listed
@MrPoilu Yeah :3 A big chance acturly :O Earths radars have found good planets with water and trees! Like the earth!!! But lost contact after 2 minutes of looking at it :'( Cant find it anymore
@2h4d0wDK No. No other lifeform have been confirmed elsewhere in the universe than on planet earth.
But scientist are regularly discovering "super earths", where liquid water that could support life might be found. We're pretty sure we'll discover extraterrestrial life sometime in the future, but we don't know if that's going to be in 1 or 1 millions years.
@MrPoilu Yeas there have, on mars we have found water! And yes, we have found a planet like earth, but that planet was thousands and thousands of light years away
and the question we are all asking now....is who created the tyranids? if someone "created" the tyranids, why? were the tyranids always like this, or did they used to be an empire of some kind? are there any other galaxies left? or is this the last galaxy left with life and the tyranids have consumed all life other than this one last stronghold..
@ShadowKnight275 The tyranids move as a wave, consuming all life they pass. There are galaxies on all sides of ours, which means that if the milky way was the only one left, the tyranids would have to have begun their feasting at completely different sides of the universe.
love your videos and I found the how to play 40k series very nice as a new player. The only critque I have of the history videos (and perhaps it is because I was listening with headphones) is that the background music is too loud. There are times when I cannot hear the commentary very well. Other than that, very nice :)
@braniacc Yeah they are, came years before Starcraft, I have a feeling Blizz's main creative guy Metzen is a huge GW fan considering some of the similarities between the IPs.
@Davetacular45 actually starcraft and warcraft were originally going to be warhammer 40k and fantasy games, but something happened and GW decided not to do it. But bilzzard decided to keep going with the project and changed it up so that they wouldn't be sued for copyright
@ansion8D this is true actually...well maybe im not sure when tau were created..so toss had nothing to do with tau they just ended up being similar to them..they were eldar from the start
@Mjollnir1990 idd i agree tho i didnt know that a small part of the team that made up these warhammer races when they enter blizzard the workt from the already made ideas from warhammer 40k races :o but it still a rip off .... and noting can become better then 40k
@Mjollnir1990 Actually they are not "rip-offs" ... they are the "same" thing for Star Craft was originally developed as a WH40k game, but because of license problems SC was forced to change the names and minor details. I personally don't make difference between the two of them. Kind a like Perfect Dark (N64) was meant to be Goldeneyes sequel ... x)
@Davetacular45 believe it or not the zerg where originally based off the tyranids. starcraft was going to be a warhammer 40k game but was turned down by gamesworkshop. and thus blizzard picke it up and BANKED!!!!
@Renegadeairsoft thats cuz they know not to mess with the necrons...lol...scariest species i think are in this order:
3. Chaos Deamons
2. Tyranids
1. Necrons
Also what would happen if the tyranids went straight into the eye of terror? pretty awesome concept...or if all the orcs converged into one waaahg straight into the eye of terror...or the mealstorm...those are two fights i would love to see or hear about..
@Maxnr66 necrons do not rule, they suck and are in desperate need of a new codex filled with new rules, and a couple more vehicles. Necrons are cheesy and extremely boring to play because they all do everything on a 3+ and all weapons are gauss and you gotta kill everything twice -.-
@Hound419 they wouldnt fight them because they know that they wont get anything from beating them since their is no bio-matter in necrons..plus u cant control the nids so yea..
although i have always wondered if the nids could in fact consume the necrons considering the fact that one of their bio-forms can eat rocks and make it into fuel for its 'flame thrower' as well as bio-mass..i dont remember what its called as i dont play nids
actually... Tyranids were made by Chaos Space Marines shit where they accidentally shit on some ants grew figured out how to have sex then kept doing it until they evovled! This is my theory
@Ronin0609 notice that the old ones are in both the fantasy and 40k games...i mean orcs is one thing and humans is obvious..and eldar may be similar but...old ones?!?!?!?! LIZARD MEN MUST BE THE NECRONS!!!!
i have one question
do nids shit themselves when they see the sisters and there shit load of flamers

@2h4d0wDK No. No other lifeform have been confirmed elsewhere in the universe than on planet earth.
But scientist are regularly discovering "super earths", where liquid water that could support life might be found. We're pretty sure we'll discover extraterrestrial life sometime in the future, but we don't know if that's going to be in 1 or 1 millions years.

@MrPoilu Yeas there have, on mars we have found water! And yes, we have found a planet like earth, but that planet was thousands and thousands of light years away

and the question we are all asking now....is who created the tyranids? if someone "created" the tyranids, why? were the tyranids always like this, or did they used to be an empire of some kind? are there any other galaxies left? or is this the last galaxy left with life and the tyranids have consumed all life other than this one last stronghold..
ShadowKnight275 1 month ago
@ShadowKnight275 The tyranids move as a wave, consuming all life they pass. There are galaxies on all sides of ours, which means that if the milky way was the only one left, the tyranids would have to have begun their feasting at completely different sides of the universe.

love your videos and I found the how to play 40k series very nice as a new player. The only critque I have of the history videos (and perhaps it is because I was listening with headphones) is that the background music is too loud. There are times when I cannot hear the commentary very well. Other than that, very nice :)

@braniacc Yeah they are, came years before Starcraft, I have a feeling Blizz's main creative guy Metzen is a huge GW fan considering some of the similarities between the IPs.

@Davetacular45 actually starcraft and warcraft were originally going to be warhammer 40k and fantasy games, but something happened and GW decided not to do it. But bilzzard decided to keep going with the project and changed it up so that they wouldn't be sued for copyright

ArugalSwe 2 weeks ago
@Mjollnir1990 Actually they are not "rip-offs" ... they are the "same" thing for Star Craft was originally developed as a WH40k game, but because of license problems SC was forced to change the names and minor details. I personally don't make difference between the two of them. Kind a like Perfect Dark (N64) was meant to be Goldeneyes sequel ... x)

1. Necrons
Also what would happen if the tyranids went straight into the eye of terror? pretty awesome concept...or if all the orcs converged into one waaahg straight into the eye of terror...or the mealstorm...those are two fights i would love to see or hear about..

@Maxnr66 necrons do not rule, they suck and are in desperate need of a new codex filled with new rules, and a couple more vehicles. Necrons are cheesy and extremely boring to play because they all do everything on a 3+ and all weapons are gauss and you gotta kill everything twice -.-

The best way to deal with the tyranids is to send them to fight the Necrons.
Hound419 10 months ago
@Hound419 they wouldnt fight them because they know that they wont get anything from beating them since their is no bio-matter in necrons..plus u cant control the nids so yea..
although i have always wondered if the nids could in fact consume the necrons considering the fact that one of their bio-forms can eat rocks and make it into fuel for its 'flame thrower' as well as bio-mass..i dont remember what its called as i dont play nids
