Tyranids

[Alfanoadun]

nom nom nom!!! XD

[PolskaProdigy]

What colours were used for the tyranid at 1:15? I love it and want my yet to be painted army to look just as splendid!

[Blackivar]

@PolskaProdigy to be completely honest with you ive got no idea browns, dark reds, very dark blues, loads of washes the model in 1:15 was painted by a someone called Fil Dunn it might be worth Googling him and his tyranids art work may you may find somthing hope that helps

[matteo111ful]

space marines 4 ever (i killtiranids) Ha Ha Ha 

[mangafan911]

I WANT YOUR FF7 MUSIC , where did you get it?

[generalj02]

@Blackivar:

all tyranids can use fleet (of claw) unless its spesifically not shown in the codex entry of the model (carnifex is to slow to fleet" 1 or 2 initiative (speed) as it seems....4+ initiative monsters have fleet of foot/ fleet of claw/fleet of wing/ and Raveners Fleet

[Blackivar]

well trouble "was" the fact warriors didnt become beasts when the gained the upgrade leaping im hopefully praying now they can

[0n0a0m0e]

fucking bio titans quick someone fit the imperator with the holy bug spray of saint killathebugsea

[Blackivar]

:O "sargent! WERE GONNA NEED A BIGGER CAN...."

[evilgreenknight346]

LOL Tyranids with Sephiroth's theme playing in the backround. The music actually fits them very well, considering all they unleash is chaos and hell everywhere, im actually getting into 40k myself and am going to build up a nid army.

[Blackivar]

id wait til januray next year as tyranids are being revamped belive me its worth the wait

[evilgreenknight346]

k. thnx for the heads up.

[usux123456789]

do u think they will make them better it terms of more usable?

[Blackivar]

yeah i hear there getting 2/3 new plastic kits one of them being a TRYGON!!! and 3 new metal blister packs

ive also heard about some good rule changes warriors can now use fleet of foot YAY

[Tigergruppen88]

the nid unit in @ 1.00.. i wished that unit would be in the dow2 series

[Blackivar]

i hoped they would too but its waaaaay to powerful for a space marine captian, 3 scouts, 4 tactical termies, 3 devs termies an assualt squad of 3 and a dreadnought

[Tigergruppen88]

whats the name of that nid unit?

[coombedeanegales]

actually shit my self if i was standing infront of a tyranid army

[pyrusdrago88]

can i put a link on miniwargaming for this? plz

[kiriyu666]

i dont see y not go for it

[ayuvir]

I wonder why we never see pics of chaos or eldar or orcs vs. tyranid, its always the guard or space marines.

[TheWellRoundedOne]

Imperials are the Tyranids first target.

[kiriyu666]

you make a fare point maybe i'll go pick on a chaos player lol

[RazzyReikoCanFly]

in the codex the tyranids fight the eldar and theres a hivey killing an ork

[SpartanGuy051]

well tyranids destroyed 4/5ths of an eldar craftworld before being pushes back, chaos have fought many, many genestealers on planets and space hulks and orks have taken whole space hulks of hordes of genestealers and orks have also beaten back entire hive fleets via mobbing there norn queens with thousands of ork ships and ork brutality on the ground, but i wantz moar orks vs nid pics WAAAGH!

[halomaster342]

then theres the necrons who the tyranids avoid entirely so the necrons will eventually harvest the galaxy for the ctan again

[ACLleader]

But imagine.... if during one apocolyptic fight the a tyranid hive fleet "fused" with a necron army by eating its bio plasma as it regenerated.....

Causing a ferrel gene that can be played by necron or nids......

[Sangheilitat117]

Alright, that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. No offense.

[ACLleader]

But it would be cool, tyranids with we'll be back!

[kiriyu666]

tecnicly one of them did it was a special characiter known as ol' one eye a mighty carnifex (back in its day) which could get back up from the dead on a 4+ and automaticly regereate 1 wound a turn

[kalerite]

the enebital fate of the galaxy is consumption by the tyranids which, mite i remind u people that dont play tyranids, most of the tyranids forces are still in the void

[Levithan1989]

Yea, they are arriving in about 100-250 years.

[TyranidKid1]

If they're quick they'll catch the guard who are knackerd from wars

[ACLleader]

MOST!! MOST!! they believe (them being the smartest of the marines) that 99.95% of nids haven't even come into contact with our galaxy!! Let alone entered

[0n0a0m0e]

no they just make excessive roaring and clicking sounds necrons never make sound EVAR!!1 except those pesky pariahs

[MFducker]

necrons are the best they dont have annoying sayings!!!!!!!!

[Pierreramone]

Whoa! What's that thing at 1:12!?

[Blackivar]

its a bio titan known as the heriophant check it out at forgeworld

[666warpspider]

i´d love to have that hierophant

or any hierophant

[crocblan]

the figure at 1:12 is great, iwant one like that.

[le3mo13]

The figure at 0:32 looks absolutely brilliant

DOWN WITH THE EMPORER

[weewoo1010]

Heretic! Long live the Emperor! XD

[le3mo13]

im a necron player, that has no relivence at all.

[magicboy1103]

Hmm,well do you play the computer game or the actual strategy board game? Because honestly,I've never seen a necron model in my life. =[

[le3mo13]

board game go on the games workshop website there on there

[wewill100]

hell yha sapace marines and chaos

[Southparker100000000]

GO SPACE MARINES!!!!

[chimodawg]

lol, 'Great Devour' spelling phail. :P

[munguntulga]

only effective weapon against tyranids is a biological one. Something that stops them from reproducing or some sort of virus.

[spacemarine1999]

i hate them spacemarines best

[1T2A3U]

i love the song and the pics great vid man

[MHavenger34]

im tmepted for that heirophant from forge world haha

but do u get that big stand?

[Blackivar]

unfortantley mate you dont get the large stand as im now the proud owner of 2 heriophants its best to make them from wood and spice it up a bit more fun too

[trigartigar]

GO SPACE MARINES!!!!

[cronus4884]

what's the song called?

[Blackivar]

the track is from the film final fantasy VII (7) Advent Childern and it is called "Jenova Theme"

[waffle569]

1:04 someone please tell me what thos are!!

[Blackivar]

ok on the left you see a Tyranid heriophant and to the right you see an imperial Warhound titan both from forge world only both of them are huge, powerful and great models

[grayhamcracker5]

there tyrinids also called nids for short. but there kinda like bug, dinosor things

[ShaoKhanTheAlmighty]

heirophant tyranids

[Fabiusbile12]

I played Necrons vs. Nids on DoW DC, necrons pwned >:)

[waffle569]

how can u play necs vs nids when nids not on dow dc

[Fabiusbile12]

I just got the Tyranid mod.

[Gyrogyro]

2:32 is awesome! great job capturing the epic moment when a hormagaunt and ultramarinen are about to stike each other down!

Great painnt job too =P

and I love the paint on the heirophant...thoguh i cant say im a fan of the model...i like the heirodule and harridan ones better =P

[ThatHalloweenKid]

I'd just like to point out that it's not Nobou Uematsus' renditon of Jenovas Theme. It's actually a techno-metal cover by Black Mages. Their rendition is titled J-E-N-O-V-A.

Just saying.

[matricule27060]

People can't be serious when they claim: "My favorite race will win!" How idiotic can that be?

Do you believe gameworkshop would allow the tyranids to devour the whole universe? Or let the Orks conquer all? Or the Necrons? Or the Imperium?

No one will win. The day a race will conquer all of the galaxy, it will be the end of Warhammer 40k. Like they will to that.

Tyranid are in a good position to potentialy conquer all, but someone will find a way to repell them and the franchise will live on.

[redfan45x]

yea your right you got to be logical, Tyranids and Necrons are in the best position due to there unstopable odds and how they are created i think the last will be Nids and necs and the tyranids will need to move on to another galaxy since they cant eat necrons and the necrons will just sleep for ever till needed by the star gods agian.

[Blackivar]

i agree with you no harm in having a little "fluff" fun though its nice to see challangers >:P

[matricule27060]

Silly things have been said here...

Starcraft is heavily inspired by WH40k, yes, but Warcraft was actually pitched as a Warhammer Fantasy game. Blizzard didn't get the liscence so they released something very similar. It's a bit like the story of the Playstation.

Although I prefer DoW's gameplay a bit more, Starcraft may still have the best single player campaign found in an RTS. DoW campaign is terrible.

[Blackivar]

what you say is ture but theres no wrong in having a little fun with the game and having the chance to guess what will happen "MY FAVE RACE WILL WIN?!" WTF? nah mate it anit like that at all its who plays the battles and how has fun in both the pc game and board game how about thinking a tiny bit more before commenting? one day you'll understand im sure...

[Blackivar]

(accendental removal)

Comment from ACLleader:

what is

0:43

1:12

0:48

2:07

0:31

im a brand new nid player and i feel a tad beind seeing this

[Blackivar]

0:31- (converted) hive tyrant 0:43 - Forge world heriophant biotitan, 0:48 - Red terror 1:12- Forge world heriophant Biotitan, 2:07, forge world winged Hive tyrant

[tulud]

at 0:43 its called a hierophant its like a tyranid counterpart of the warhound titan

[Blackivar]

(acidentally removed)

noobkillaman:

so tyranids outnumber orks? 0_0!?

come on, orks are like a plague, there are billions and billions of them, their reproducing system makes them almost unextinctable

[noobkillaman]

whats the GREAT DEVOUR? is it like a mighty unit or the equivalent of a waaaaaaaaaaagh

[Blackivar]

to be far id say a hive fleet invasion makes a waaaagh look like a gang of thugs millions upon millions of tyrnids against aprox 19,000 orks not looking good for the orks and should a full fleet arrive gork help them!

[Blackivar]

yeah a ork army say a ork home world would hold out for a few weeks ork population at its highest (aprox 30m to 200m from gretchin to warboss) they could handle a "splinter fleet" as the defences would wipe out most of the hive ships, should the full fleet appear (arox 500m to 600m maxium the imperium has recored) so yeah in this term tyranids would totally swarm orks

[captaindutchie]

I got the Tyranid Codex this week and here is written down that the hive fleet Leviathan has a big fight in the Octavian system controlled by orks. Okey The orks will run out of men in the end but that will take a very long time

[HJ10]

of course tyranids would beat orks! orks need nothing more than an atmosphere to reproduce, only thing is that, tyranids take that too, after a tyranid invasion only necrons could live there, and even the necrons would just sleep, but still love both races! i play as both in real life! there just so much fun!

[DonGonTheOne]

cool music

[Exodurge]

Cool vid, the Jenova music added a nice touch to it

[tyranidsarethebest]

Im being offered a Tyranid army consisting of 38 genestealers 36 hormagaunt 36 termagaunts 7 raveners 9 warriors 6 gargoyles 1 lictor 3 zoanthropes 5 carnifexs 1 broodlord 1 hive tyrant w/ 3 tyrant gaurd 1 flying tyrant for $250, man is that a kick ass deal or what?

[Blackivar]

it dam is :P

[ACLleader]

if you dont take that i will punch you in cyber world!!!

[Blackivar]

i own all of the tyranids exept a barbed heriodule (forge world) and a Harridan (forge world) models (not for long) trust me their in my army lists...

[123451a]

[Blackivar]

choas black shell with midnight blue higlights, bleached bone for teeth and "revealed bones" choas black and white on the talons (shaded to grey)and finally red gore with blood red highlights (base colour - "graveyard earth"

[warmaniac101]

that is seriously expensive

[Blackivar]

[warmaniac101]

lol

[DOTTY2966]

what was the massive green one called

[Blackivar]

that too is a Bio titan however a guy from forge world PRO-painted

[indie2205]

The Bio-titans are awesome!

[eron01]

tau sucks compared to necron

[Blackivar]

Nah i actually prefer Tau over necrons but needless to say necrons are cool

[scotcheggtima]

25000 tau apocolipse army rules!!!!!!!!

[groentsagsarmen]

25000 of ANY race rules in apocalypse

[Blackivar]

add an extra "0" at the end of that total and thats my nid army XD (fully beefed up and every model i own incluing forgeworld models)

[murloxjki]

Man, I wish I could fins the official Tyranid mod patch. The current one on beta the modders made isn't really cutting it. I want the full force and effects of the Tyranids!

BTW, what song is that in the video, I want that song!

[Blackivar]

yea i know how ya feel i wish teh tyranid mod would hurry up right the track is from the film final fantasy VII (7) Advent Childern and it is called "Jenova Theme" best place to get it for free is a sight called Blue Launga look it up on google search

[viper99998]

[EmmaIsCool00]

[aHHARAT]

[Blackivar]

that is a forge world heriophant the ultimate weapon 4 nidz (so far that is...)

[Zwiebelfisch24]

Ne Massenarmee von Tyraniden ist einfach nur geil, der Gegner hat gar nicht genug Atakken, um die alle wegzuhauen. Allerdings braucht man auch die Knete dafür.^^

[167018]

if i met a reel tyranid, ide make a sandwich with onion, lettuce, tommato, bread, pickles, and ham, throw the sandwich at it, grab a shot gun, and shoot randomly in the air...

[rippedexodus]

is ja ne große kunst mit tyranids Tau zu rushen, bist ja ganz a guter

du spinner, ich mach deine tyraniden mit orks bzw necrons down!

[macker148]

tyranids are f***** awsome!!!!

my favourite army to play against with nids are tau..i always winn them!!like one ripper swarm kills der stealth suits!tats just....

[Blackivar]

yeah i do the same with eldar guardians :P 1 ripper kills a man the entire squad s**** them selves and run for it rippers catch up and take down the squad of 19 left lol!!!

[captaindutchie]

I am new to 40k, have chosen tyranids because they looked awsome and because I didn't want to fight with High Tech weaponary. bought the battle for macragge yesterday, now i just have to find a cool colour combi for my nids

[Blackivar]

welcome to the family my friend tell yer what buddy try a combo of black and yellow (aka star ship troopers) and use a deep red for the eyes bleached bone for teh hooves claws etc your choice of course btw if you want to know anything about the nidz happy to let ya know best of luck in your battles

[deathtoallwhoapose]

tryanid are really good you in a 1000 point battle you can have up to 600 guys

[Blackivar]

thats if you like moving half the bords worth of models lol but yea if you keep it cheap you can make some nasty swarm armys

[deathtoallwhoapose]

in a 10,000 point battle in saw the tryanid covered the whole table

[mrmp34]

[Troedleraxel]

[Blackivar]

nah u just need a better stratgy

and STUDY yer codex AND his codex upgrade ur nids +1SV (extentend carapace) thats probably y u get battered better learn b4 you comment...

[Broodlord777]

just because u lose dosent mean the race sucks

[rolnblood]

on 2:30 is that a tyranid worrer

[Blackivar]

no its an old gaunt mutation from the old codex its upgrade was to show the inhanced senses ability (+1I and +1BS which was its old rules)

[orientmole]

omg! wat is tht nid at 1:15 he looks freakin awesome!

[Blackivar]

that is the heriophant bio titan which has just got more incredible power thanks to apocalypse!

[BlakeimusMaximus]

Starcraft Zerg: the closest thing to tyranids you'll find in a computer game.

Nice vid btw, 'nids rule.

[fluke01]

Unknown to most, there is a Warhammer 2.5k, more commonly reffered to as "StarCraft". *cough cough*

[Blackivar]

ive turely never heard of "star craft" sounds like fun thou :P

[HiveTyrant71]

its a ripp off of 40k.

don't play it, its crap.

stick to dawn of war dude.

[Blackivar]

thanks for the advice

[rolnblood]

what is the great devour and what are the tyranids at 00:33,00:41,00:46,00:56,01:01,­02:01 and how did u make tham

[fluke01]

Old version Hive Tyrant, Heirophant, The Red Terror, Classic version Hive Tyrant, Tyranid Heirophant (left) Space Marine Warforge Titan (right), Hive Tyrant /w Wings. The heirophant, hive tyrant /w wings, and titan can be found at forgeworld's website. The remaining, excluding the old version hive tyrant, can be found on Games Workshop's website.

[Otacrack]

Sigh so many retarded uneducated kids on youtubes these days. Starcraft was based on 40K and Warcraft with Fantasy.

Terran are based on Space Marines

Protos with Eldar

Zerg with Tyranids

GW would have made great RTS games years ago but it would interfere with the early popularity of the tabletop game...

[housefly88]

Haha, I love the random Tau Warriors randomly half way threw :P Good job. (Y)

[generalj02]

nice painted moddles...how long did it take to paint ur bio titan or is that not yours?

[Blackivar]

the bio titan on this video was painted by a pro from forge world on my second video "tyranids return" u'll spot a blue heriophant bio titan that one is mine

[SandGoose0]

The Zergs themselves are spawned from the Tyranids.

[DannyGammon]

wtf is with the ff7 msic in tyranid vids... but its cool

[Drachenhannes]

yip and both of them are a copy from the alien, but nod bad ones, so what? ^^

I love all 3 of them. ^^ nice vid btw.

[MPYENDHDWWSD]

that big thing gave me nightmares lol

[SLAARG]

i wuvz the tyranids, dey is soo adowable

[SgtMkoll]

Tyranids rock! Nice video. Heres a good twist, if the emperor of manking is a genestealer hybrid calling to the hive fleets! The Irony is man will die defending him! Oh and I'm paining the tyranid titan atm, it's massive! Awesome model.

[Blackivar]

hey mate beware eldar mind war powers they can kill ur titan if u have the Malathrope u can stop it on a 4+ otherwise ur stuck with that 5+ invurable i wish u luck and many feedings xD

[HiveTyrant71]

wrong, well now it is.

The new apocalypse rules habe gargantuan monsters ignoring all psychick abilitys.

yup thats right, no arc of lightning or any of that crazy stuff can hurt us big bugs anymore.

[StonerKid655321]

Well done.

[GrandBurnin]

Your not always eaten by Tyranids. Mostly melted down to spawn more of them =)

[xIXINICKIXIx]

I love to fight the 'nids. Their horde strategies are so fun to play against, they really give my marines a run for my money,

[Blackivar]

ask your selves this: whats more terrifying a wave of hungry sharp maws and scythed claws and being torn limb from limb being eaten alive or a a quick yet agonising death from a c'tan energy weapon (to be honest id rather pick being shot dead rather being ripped apart yeesh THANK U ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND VOTES

THE TYRANIDS WILL COMSUME ALL!!!

[Deathnite9]

Tyranids ROCK!!! My favourite and yeah I agree Necrons + Tyranids if they teamed up they would be unbeatable =0

[evrynameistaken5]

unlike the other evil factions (apart from orks)tyranids have no purpase but to make the entire universe theyre breeding ground but who knowswhat they might be planning (me thinks there is a sinister twist about the emperor)

[RevolvingSolution]

Winged Tyranids are awesome... I'm using Balrog wings on my Hive Tyrant! When he's done he'll look da' shiznit, fo' rizzle... rofl

[Durgey]

the Imperium of Man and all other races, are going to die, the Necrons and the Tyranids just seem unstoppable, the necrons get back up, and come back, the tyranids never stop coming! the galaxy will fall leaving the best two races to fight

[necronlord81762]

The song sounds very familiar lol

[stickstuff]

The greater good will crush this threat

[Blackivar]

yeah they might or you will only feed the hunrgy xD

[HiveTyrant71]

hah, the hive mind is immortal.

theres no stopping the eventual defeat at the hands of the almighty hive mind. Go cry to your dead emporer.

[2349DF]

How i hate those things! EMPEROR CURSE THEM!

[RevanFlashman]

Oh,i hate them buggers...and Tau....and Necrons.....and....err..Eldar.

[korhyan]

tyranid mod 0.4 came out recently.  I highly recomend it.

[Relin2007]

at 1:17 what type of nid is that?

[bombardier99]

The Heirophant, it is a forge world tyranid. Essentially it is the hive mind's version of a scout titan. I personally have never used them since the model is over 300 american dollars but I hear they can be numerous for titans which makes up for the fact in a fair (and long range) fight imperial and chaos titans can beat it 1 on 1 fight.
