If psykers shine brightly in the warp, and the emperor is the astronomicon, shouldn't the Tyranid hive mind be even brighter? How come the chaos gods don't just go after the most powerful single psyker in the entire universe?

Because 40k lore is retarded
Tyranids are like infrared instead of visible light in the warp.

Emprah's too Powerful for chaos gods, sort of. it's hinted at that his Manly-nesses warp-presence is crazy strong to the point that any one chaos god trying to go after it might be doing itself more harm than good.
Also, the tyranid hive-mind's Psychic presence is fucking CRAZY huge, not neccessairly brighter, as its not as concentrated as the emperor's, but because its just a fucking gigantic flood of psychic activity from what is essentially the whole hive mind talking to itself, it causes disruptions in the warp for light years around the hive mind. this has the added Benefit to the 'Mind of fucking shit up for any planet it drifts by. (Normal citizens get migraines, psykers get bleeding eyeballs and coma's, and daemons stay the fuck away.)

Does the warp even cover the Universe though? I always thought it was just the Galaxy and that the Hive mind/Tyrannid effect is the Shadow in the Warp thingy.
>>48103995
the warp is extra dimensional, so i assume it is universal, whether or not its Chaotic as fuck outside our galaxy, on the other hand, i got no idea.
The Hive-mind's effect is the shadow in the warp.
>>48103856
the hivemind casts a shadow over the warp
normal psykers are candles strong psykers are lighthouses the emperor is a star vaporizing anything that gets close
>>48103856
The Emperor has hidden his spirit.
The Gods hound him but cannot find him.
The Chaos Gods see the Tyranids as playthings.
>>48103995
The warp covers the entire multiverse.

>and the emperor is the astronomicon
God Emperor is NOT the Astronomicon. He MAINTAINS the Astronomicon's stability. Most of the psychic light comes from guys frying up withing the Hollow Mountain.
> shouldn't the Tyranid hive mind be even brighter
They hide in the shadow over the warp.
>How come the chaos gods don't just go after the most powerful single psyker in the entire universe
Even if they could see through the shadow (which they can't), HIVE-mind is not singular - it's a HIVEMIND. It's consciousness is spread among billions of individual creatures.

The Immaterium is basicly a projection of all living things with souls n shit.
Eventhough physical law does not apply to it it stil is bound to the galaxy 40k is set in. It's likely a bubble around the galaxy but as there is a huge nothingness to the next galaxy it's not crossable even for chaos beings via chaos warp stuff.
There could be however be an entierly different realm of souls in another galaxy for it would have it's own unique constelation of feelings and stuff

>it it stil is bound to the galaxy 40k is set in.
Nope, their reach is multiversal.
>>48107455
>multiversal
Sure. That's why one species of one galaxy was enough to fuck an chaos god into existance

Tough shit senpai, that's the fluff.

Slaanesh easily overpowered the Hivemind in Valedor.

From what I know it is. Some very warpy things can send you straight into the intergalactic void or even further.

The Emperor is not the astronomican.
The astronomican is a giant psychic lighthouse projecting a beacon in the warp, fueled by the Emperor and lots of psykers.
The astronimican is bright because it was built to be bright.
