So believe that page at your own risk.

In the same book that says the current Hive Fleets are only the tip of the iceberg? Well done Mr Cruddance, another way you fethed up my first ever armies codex.

I'm ignoring most of the 5th edition fluff towards tyranids

It does not claim there are no more Tyranids after Leviathan. When it says "last and greatest of the fleets to descended upon the galaxy", it can only mean the latest among the major fleets.

Hive Fleet Behemoth - pwned by Ultramarines
Hive Fleet Naga - pwned by Eldar
Hive Fleet Gorgon - pwned by Imperial Guard and Tau
Hive Fleet Kraken - pwned by Ultramarines AND Eldar... but a splinter fleet has survived/been reawakened
Hive Fleet Jormungandr - pwned a combination of Death Specters, some renegade Marines, Imperial Guard and Titan Legions... although "countless thousands" of beasties remain dormant under the soil of "hundreds" of worlds and are beginning to reawaken
Hive Fleet Leviathan - far from being pwned, crushing the most heavily defended worlds (including fortresses built by Iron Warriors) that stand in its way

Other, more minor fleets:
Hive Fleets Scylla and Charybdis - carving together through the Segmentum Pacificus, the closest threat to Terra
Hive Fleets Moloch and Medusa - just now starting to hit the northern reaches of the Imperium

I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from. More life energy for the Necrons to eat, I say.

You forgot to say that part of this fleet is pwned on Tarsis Ultra, and the other part is going toward Baal ( they wil lbe pwned there ) and toward Terra ( they are dead ).

Other, more minor fleets:
Hive Fleets Scylla and Charybdis - carving together through the Segmentum Pacificus, the closest threat to Terra
Hive Fleets Moloch and Medusa - just now starting to hit the northern reaches of the Imperium

And those two will be pwned, as well as every other Hive Fleet that enter the galaxy...

It said "last" not "latest". If it meant "latest" that word would have been entirely appropriate to use.
