The Tyranids

[Emperorsmercy]

Ok, so everyone's going to die, no matter what happens.

1- The Nids eat evryone
2- Necrons harvest everythng and close down the warp.
3-Orks bash evryone.

Ect. So, basically, everyones going to die, no matter what happens.

I always rather like the theory that, not only is the main mas of the Tyranid mind HUGE but that rather than deliberatly invading they're running from something-Something that forced them from thier galaxy/galaxies and they're just OMNOMNOM'ing the path of least resistance.

...something even BIGGER than the Tyranids?

Reminds me of those nightmares I have where an asteroid 1000 times the size of earth just happens to fly past and squash us like a bug in an instant.

*shudder*

The nids may be a big problem and all, but arnt they just going to be another dish on the Ctan menu. A constantly evolving dish. Plus then theres the Outsider who ends it all!

The Necrons biggest weakness is the Warp. Tyranids mastered the warp in such a way that they do not even have to reach into the warp to activate it.

No, the C'tan would fear the Tyranids.

Exactly Erazoender the Hive Mind is insanely powerful

[Majorcrash]

except for the fact of one on of the hive fleets has gone around where the Outsider is.

[Andrew283]

Hell, would'nt you??

Or, of course, The Outsider figured out how to call the Tyranids, and is somehow controlling them. That's plain scary

I think they took one look at the Outsider's "death star" and went off in serch of easier prey

Maybe the Old Ones knew about the coming of the Hive Mind (probably feeling it through the Warp) and created the Krork not to fight the C'Tan and Necrons, but to fight off the Tyranid. If you think about it, the Orks are really the only race big and widespread enough to stop the Tyranid's progress. They aren't even going to necessarily kill the hive fleets, they just need to halt their momentum and tarpit for long enough that the Hive Mind decides that the milky way isn't worth the investment, and goes off to eat some other galaxy.

I mean, the Orks and Tyranid share a lot of similarities. Both races are extremely numerous and repopulate quickly, they're both entirely psychic races, exist entirely for warfare, get stronger through fighting, and once they invade a planet, they're extremely difficult to remove. It's possible that whichever Old One created the Krork used the Tyranid as a template.
