I had the pleaaure to paint and convert some of the Tyranids for the book. This resulted in me freezing my former work on Hive Fleet Moloch and changing to Hive Fleet Ouroboros. Also several of the Tyranids shown in the book later won Golden Demon trophies. Oh the nostalgia ! Fond memories. Big thanks for this in depth look at the narrative. Loved it.

"We clocked the Hierophant Bio-titan at 64 miles per hour"

And that was the last they heard of that insubordination

That all this was just a footnote in the history of the imperium, if even amounting to that, is why 40k is such a thriving setting. Endless stories, endless lives lived and and spent, endless wars & conflicts & conspiracies & betrayals & etc etc. There's no end.

"... but things continued to go badly..."

Ah, the setting summed up succinctly.

Honestly I really wish they did more of this more in depth, special forces style stuff. Since it better fits the scale of the table top game, rather than only representing a part of a greater offensive. Things like defending the thunderhawk wreck site sound like really cool missions to do.

This would make an awesome movie

This book was the best 40K horror setting ever. People get so used to "Gun down the hordes of 'nids!" that they have no idea how scary a handful of Tyranids are. Or what things are like outside the context of a 6-turn battle. When the time span is months, weeks, or sometimes day, Tyranid evolution is terrifying.

I enjoy self contained stories like this, it helps show the hubris of the Imperium better.

One of my Fav Books.

It captures the Forgeworld Charme lost to Time.

Imperial Armor's lorebooks were always the best regarding lore when they focused on the non-chaos sides. Between this and the focus on the Damocles Crusade, Forgeworld really knocked these out of the park!

Honestly, this rundown is doing a lot to break my writer's block on a 40k rpg that picks up on some of those loose threads, finding out just how much Varius is allowed to get away with before getting Callidus-ed

This one is very close to my heart being a big fan of the D99 and the Anphelion project. Thank you Ian! Great work.

Back in the day (my early 20’s) I saved up my pennies to buy some forge world Elysian drop troopers. They were so expensive and I had so few I ran them as a D-99 list.
