We all know that the tyranids are absolutely terrifying. but their sheer unrelenting horror is often diminished when the stories are told by the power armor clad super human warriors, the space marines. so today I have gathered 5 separate Tyranid stories that genuinely sent chills up my spine the first time I read them.

    The idea of the imperium guarding an empty cell at maximum security is hilarious to me.
  • @jeramahia123
    There's another instance from the Devastation of Baal where Dante himself also looked into the eyes of the Swarmlord and saw the Hive Mind... But instead of horror, he felt only pity for the Tyranids now. Dante was mad with the Red Thirst, and in that moment he realized the curse that drove the Blood Angels to thirst for blood was NOTHING compared to the endless hunger that drove the Tyranids.
  • @RichardX1
    That last story shows why everyone in the Imperium's militaries should always keep their sidearms loaded/charged for at least one shot
  • I love the idea of a super lictor even deadlier than the Deathleaper living completely undetectible in an Imperium cell. It sounds like an SCP
  • The irony of the Eldar spending so long trying to preserve their souls to save them from being devoured by slaneesh just for them to be devoured by a tyranid is awful
  • That last story surprised me, I knew on some level what was going to happen, but the creeping dread the story conveys is horrifying
  • @Reddotzebra
    So the unknown prisoner is basically just trolling the Imperium at this point. "Oh, they sent in another guy. Guess I'll just sit here in my corner and watch them rip their hair out a little more."
  • @RabidlyTaboo
    I hate when SCPs get compared to everything, but the invisible creature in a possibly empty cell being guarded at max security gives me those vibes.
  • @axios4702
    The Doom of Malantai should be a tyranid "character" like Old One Eye, recreated where the Hive Mind deems it to be needed most or to terrify Eldar warriors that encountered it.
  • Best Tyranid moment is the first mission in dawn of war 2 where the guardsmen start panicking because this weird bug just Took Cover
  • @zelpheon662
    17:30 I think getting the attention of the Tyranid hivemind itself to look directly at you is a feat considering it kills like this on the daily throughout the verse
  • @UserRedZero
    “Eyes of the Hivemind” You know, he had the EXTREMELY rare opportunity to communicate with the total Tyranid hivemind one-on-one in a safe and reliable way there, assuming it could hiss some sort of speech.
  • @SkitariusNoKD
    This is why I love tyrannids, just eldritch horror from an intelligence that sees humans as nothing but food, I hope the hive mind stay unknowable, for any attempts to explain it would just diminish it.
  • Man does anyone else want more dramatic readings from Wes? Like shit let this dude record an audiobook for war hammer his enthusiasm for the books really gets you into it
  • I think one of the most terrifying things about the 'Nids is the simple fact that the very thing that lets you know they've arrived in system means that its already too late. Once the Shadow in the Warp falls over you, you can't evacuate, reinforcements have almost no hope of getting to you in time, and for an Astropath to even attempt to get as SOS almost guarantees that they'll die or go mad in the process.
  • @BloopTheNoop
    I love hearing about the Tyranids. Your choice of music in the background is also amazing
  • @MrNewber01
    the unknown prisoner is the perfect mc'guffin... A empt jar filled with paranoia LOL
  • @shadow8928
    the death leaper short story is also a good one, both horrifying and strangely enough hilarious
