both notes are non functional (hive fleet leviathan is a proper combat fleet of the tyranids unlike previous and it does span a decent portion of the milky way/around 2/5ths, but it is a proper combat fleet unlike behemoth/kraken/oroboros/colossus which were scouts and likely prep/softening up the landing of the war fleets in case of behemoth. Thus by proportion its likely that that is the entire fleet. Also "birdlike shape" thing is up to interpretation.


** A few things to note about that video: what we see is only a ''portion'' of the fleet. Yes folks--the fleet that is so vast the entire galaxy couldn't contain it ''only gets bigger''.
*** Another note: That fleet took on the shape of some sort of birdlike-entity. The Genestealers refer to the Hive Mind/Fleet as a "god". Considering what passes for gods in this universe--''and'' considering that the Tyranids are so alien that not even Tzeentch--the Chessmaster of those gods--can't understand them--then perhaps the Genestealers' beliefs aren't that far from the truth.
