There is no time for peace. No forgiveness. No respite. There is only war.

Hive Fleet Leviathan had arrived, a new threat greater than anything that had come before. As the Great Rift tore the galaxy in two, Leviathan faced resistance from the Imperium, resurgent heretics, xenos armies, and even the daemons of Chaos. Kryptman’s machinations saw its tendrils slowed – caught in a cordon of exterminated worlds, or lured into a quagmire of Ork warfare in the Octarius Sector – but never stopped.

The Tyranids had their sights set on yet another Space Marine home world, this time the Blood Angels – but so too did the forces of Chaos. This ensuing battle between aliens, daemons, and around 30,000 Sons of Sanguinius led by Commander Dante left Baal and its moons even more ruined than before.

Here it seemed Leviathan had been stopped in its tracks, and Roboute Guilliman could focus his attention on the Indomitus Crusade. But it turns out Leviathan was far from defeated, as the beast’s maw closes on the beleaguered Imperium once again, from a wholly new direction…

  1. Spoilers Peter Turbo and Vashtorr show up with the newest faction The Dark Mechanicus and use the obligator virus to turn the Tyranid brother moon into a real Death Star.

  2. Yes they have pushed them back.. But that was only the 1st wave.. there are supposted to be so many tyranids aproching the milky way that the mass of bio ships out masses the entire milky way 3 times.

  3. I like the new Norn Emissaries, they sound cool (hopefully they aren't the Dimachaeron, those things look stupid). I also like the idea of a moon sized bioship. However, the worst thing they could do with the Meat Moon is make it 'the hive mind'. If they kill it and all the Tyranids just dropped dead, it might just be their worst addition to the lore. Tyranids would no longer be one of the only 2 existential threats to humanity left in the grim dark setting. If Tyranids have a kill switch 'hive mind' beast, they become solvable, and stray from their Lovecraftian roots.

    Ideally humans think it works that way and watch as the Tyranids just orderly fall back in search of easier prey to regain biomass (because GW probably won't let enemies win around the Sol system without progressing towards a 40k 'end times')

  4. Don't worry, norm emissaries will probably become Tyranid avatars of Kain. First appearance kills 6 custodes while not focusing on them, but let's give it a year or two to see which SM lieutenant will solo them first

  6. I can't get it out of my head the idea to make a ork pro wrestler army.
    "By gork and mork, sumbody call da pain boy!"
    With a vehicle that's a giant dozer blade that scoops up enemies and dumps them into a ring made on the body. Maybe two lifter droppers they use to drop flying elbows off of xD

  7. "That's no moon, it's the end of all things."

    Anyone who sees a living planet with gaping maws and Tyranids spawning in more swaths than one could ever describe through words.
