				<title>Tyranids of Slaanesh, Genestealers of Tzeentch?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Though they are generally considered immune to the effects of the Warp and cannot be tempted into joining Chaos, I think that an argument could be made that Tyranids could fall to Slaanesh.  Think about it, all the Hive Mind cares about is eating constantly, and gluttony is one of the indulgences that Slaanesh specializes in.  Theoretically, he/she could tell the Tyranids "Hey, you guys like to eat?  I will give you all the food that you ever craved and more."  This could be highly tempting to the singular nature of the Hive Mind, leading to possibly the entire race (or at least those in the Milky Way), giving themselves over completely to Slaanesh.<br /> <br /> In terms of the Genestealers, I think that having at least one or two of the cults serve Tzeentch would make sense, as in their desire to undermine a planet's society through trickery and subterfuge, Tzeentch could be a powerful army.  Indeed, in past lore, Genestealers did serve Chaos:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.miningthemindscape.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Patriarch-2.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://pro.bols.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GC-chaos-2.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Now, I don't want this lore to come back wholesale, but I think it would be cool if there was a new story in which a cult did willing give themselves over to Chaos to fulfill their ends.  If this were to go hand in hand with the Slaaneshi Tyranid concepts, given the fact that Tyranids might become less laser-focused on their campaigns, as well as the innate rivalry between the Chaos Gods, this could possibly lead to a split between the Genestealer Cults and the Tyranids, as the Genestealers under Tzeentch might come to see the Tyranids as unreliable and a rival than an ally and patron.  Maybe this could lead to the establishment of a small Chaos Genestealer empire that slowly spreads and both undermines the foundations of the Imperium and other galactic states, as well as seriously hurts the effectiveness of the Tyranids' advance.  Any thoughts on any of these ideas?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ ^I loved that stuff back in the day.  Genestealer cults are still part human, and being part human with human desires and needs gives chaos a foothold to find purchase, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(72);'>imo</span>.]]></description>
