Correction: At the 17 minute mark we talk about genestealer cults reproducing sexually. This is partially true. The first victims are actually injected with tyranid biomass by purebred genestealers via an oviposter. When these victims breed is when new generations are born.
This week on The Lore Axe we take on the voracious hive mind of the Tyranids and ask: how do you create the end of your setting without creating the end of your setting?
The viscious, hungry, insectoid-like Tyranids want nothing more than to strip 40k of all biomass. We'll discuss their origins, evolution, and how they're either a universe-ending threat or just a horde of monsters for the "good guys" to stomp out.
