General Discussion / Re: The Warhammer 40k Thread
Last post by [cancerblack] - Yesterday at 02:57:00 AMThe Tyranids are my favourite too. But even they've been goofed with in that way, especially around their methods of long distance travel within the galaxy - but not limited to that.
As an example: Squigs started as a type of critter for Warhammer Fantasy. When 40k happened, they introduced them there too. There was a brief period of time, where they were Tyranid experiments on captured orks (and a unit in the Tyranid army, later replaced by Rippers) which the orks had "rescued" and reintroduced to their society.
In a similar vein, RT era Tyranids are described as having things resembling clothing and combat webbing, although cultured from living flesh rather than being made of leather or fabric. They also had (organic) Bolters - which eventually became Fleshborers, and quite some detail goes into describing their miniaturised, organic frag and krak grenades.
Although to be clear, I think most of the (lore) changes to Tyranids have been a positive evolution of the concept. Surprisingly considering the theme though, relatively few changes to them have been presented as new adaptations, mostly new units. The broad stroke stuff is always the usual GW "this is how it's always been" type retcon, at absolute best presented as "new info to the imperium".

Last post by [cancerblack] - Yesterday at 02:54:45 AMMy dad's been very sick, and I've been dealing with biblical plagues and personal demons. Getting dinner on the table is all I can do right now, pausing to take a pic is that bit more energy I just don't have rn.

General Discussion / Re: The Warhammer 40k Thread
Last post by [cancerblack] - Yesterday at 01:55:59 AMActually, I've been looking at the second edition Codex: Angels of Death and Codex: Ultramarines, and they're on top of the numbers thing there. It seems playing dumb about the numbers is a 3-7th issue. 8+ with the introduction of Primaris I haven't read much of, but I get the vibe they've (thankfully) just given up on any strictness around the 1000 figure.
