This is a thread dedicated to Ultranids. Tyranids who have devoured so much Ultramarine biomass that they have been compelled to follow the Codex Astartes, and look to our Spiritual Liege, Marneus Calgar.

Reposting fluff:
Each Hive Tyrant is the master of a chapter-swarm of a bit over 1000 smaller bugs. Each of these chapter-swarms is divided into ten brood-companies, the first spawned containing large numbers of warriors and hive guard, and the tenth containing lictors and genestealers. The other brood-companies are primarily gaunts.
Each brood-company is controlled by a Tyranid Prime, with a retinue of four Venomthropes and a Malanthrope, while the Hive Tyrant has a retinue of Tyrant Guard.
Each brood-company has several monstrous creatures and warriors to keep them in line, while the most horrendous bio-monstrosities are spawned apart from the main ten broods and join various broods as the planetary invasion requires. Similarly, Zoanthropes are loaned out to the broods as seen fit.

most important question, are they attackers or protectors of humanity?
>>46507220
Depends, we have an anon who's writing up some lore for them, he said he's change some stuff from what he originally wrote, and make it better.
Originally yes, most likely yes.

But for now I'll repost the original lore we wrote:
After narrowly escaping from macragge, a small segment of Hive Fleet Behemoth fled from the now-lost battle and broke off into a bunch of smaller groups.
These separate Tyranids individually attacked worlds protected by the ultramarines. Those that were successful enough were able to grow their numbers and consume more and more of the unsuspecting, segmented ultramarine forces. Over time, they applied this new DNA into their own, each gaining new characteristics as they progressed.
Eventually, some of the separate hives grew large enough to reconvene into a single tendril again. It was then that they were able to combine all of their newly-acquired DNA, which together held a large part of the complete ultramarine gene-seed.
These new tyranids did what they were programmed to do, consume, but there was something more. Their past sense of beastial, primal hunger for biomass was no longer sufficient. They craved something more.
Hive Fleet Ultra felt a great purpose beyond feeding. They felt a sense of direction; a desire to follow a new code.
They, again, return to Macragge. But, this time, not with the ambition of conquering the greatest power in the system and securing the rest of the biomass for themselves, but to join it.

But Anon, you know it's a good kind of heresy, the kind that you know you'd love.

>>46507171
I find this hilarious.
>>46507797
The whole thing started as a joke regarding how 'Nid and Ork players should just use the Space Marine Codex.
>>46508004
Orks should use the eldar dex, methinks
shootaboys = guardian defenders
Gorkanaught =wraithknight
etc.etc. etc.
>>46508089
Eh, I don't play Eldar, so I wouldn't know.
Anyways, I wonder when the Lore anon will arrive with the new Lore.
Anyone have anything to discuss?
Bunp
Lore Anon here,
Just literally got done with my all my shit today, and I'm gonna go to sleep. Sorry to make you wait, but I'm even more tired/empty-headed than I was when I wrote it yesterday.

Haha! Another bump for Hive Fleet Ultra!Hive Fleet Name Subject to Change.
Hive Fleet Anthropos. Because Man is the ultimate monster
>>46514359
Fascinating.
Though, honestly, I'd prefer something that sounded like an Ultramarines reference, or a straight up ripoff.
