Another civil war will surely break out. There will be a surge of power in the imperium and someone will want it all. Mans worse enemy was always itself.

So Tzeentch is defeated then. Well, that wasn't much of a threat after all.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

According to the 6th edition rulebook (the newest Tyranid fluff) they do. Untold billions of hive ships each containing billions of Tyranids equals a lot of bugs.


Orks are the most numerous race in the galaxy, they just aren't united.

The Imperium has also detected orks in nearby galaxies.

Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

Change and change until Change is our master, for nothing neither God nor mortal can hold that which has no form. Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

No game of chess can be won without pawns, and this may prove to be a very long game.

That apparent Tzeentch daemon prince disagrees.

The key term there is in "our" galaxy. Since the Tyranids are an extragalactic (real word?) threat, no one can really say how many there are. the only hint is that they show no signs of letting up any time soon.

Since when? I thought they just floated about on massive chunks of metal with bad engines, and were barely capable of warp travel. Is that new 6th-ed fluff?

It's fan-fluff. Orks traverse the Warp just like any other race, using an Orky version of a Gellar Field (sometimes referred to as a ship upgrade called Really Big Teef), and ride the tides of the Warp until they pop out somewhere.

Because of the Ork gestalt psychic field, their ships are often drawn to sites of battle, though whether this is because the Warp knows that carnage is going to erupt there, or because some other Orks got there first and have already started the battle, is unclear.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that tyrinids are the closest threat to terra. while all the other races are going from planet to planet in terra's general direction, the tyrinids are coming from underneath bypassing all the other planets (well, most of them).

IDK, Leviathan did take a major blow when they ran into Eldrad. I think it will still be a few more attacks before the galaxy really starts to feel the might of the swarm.
