Well, if it's any consolation, this is the only time you will see it, as it can only be used once.

This wouldn't involve the Warp or corruption, would it?

Corruption, no. Warp, yes. It also involves Stuff Blowing Up.

...does it involve the humans of the Human Village? I'm warning you, I've got a were-hakutaku, and I'm not afraid to use her.

Ah. Let me take a stab: it's some sort of Warp torpedo with souls as the warhead?

^Oh, come on!
Also, BLAM.

Blam averted. You don't get to pull that on a Space Marine unless the ranking officer says so. Now, if Edmundus goes heretical...
Dreams of Revenge
Yeah, hacking off a Space Marine commander by shooting one of his men is not the best of ideas.
Makuta, care to have your fleet retreat to the asteroid belt while using the ground and underground level nids?
Dreams of Revenge
Of course, the guy doesn't seem to understand the concept of "chain of command" and is now having a bit of a sulk.

^^ If I had my fleet flee that far, then that would be the same as losing one of the Hive Ships.

Yes, please do explain how a retreat is the same as an outright loss.

Hive ship gets out of range -> Tyranids no longer have Hive Mind -> Tyranids degenerate to mindless animals.
Hive ship is destroyed -> Tyranids no longer have Hive Mind -> Tyranids degenerate to mindless animals.

Now hold on there, mister: Don't the nids form their own hive minds if separated from a hive fleet?
Lord of Shadows
Your thinking of the Brood Mind that the Genestealers make for the Genestealers Cult.

I distinctly recall that the Inquisition captured a bunch of Tyranids for study, and on their own, they created a new Hive Mind, breaking loose.
Back from my business in meatspace. What be up, mentlegen?
When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.
I am attempting to convince our Tyranid player that the beasts can form a Hive Mind without the ships.
the Tyranids seem to be lying low for now, the moon has been reduced to a ball of slag, and a one-use Chaos superweapon vaporized a third of the Tyranid fleet while taking a huge chunk out of the Hive ship.

^When you say that, it doesn't fill me with confidence.
