Do I see this correct, that the small Box in the 8th Edition Core Book about Hivefleet Hydra feasting on Splinters of other Hivefleets is new fluff?

 

Anyways, who ever came up with this: Great Idea! It makes me love the Tyranid even more. I want to read a Novel about Tyranids devouring Tyranids – and some Astartes in middle of the Grande Bouffe – right now! :happy.:

It has been written before that sometimes Tyranids from different splinter fleets will fight one another, so that the strongest will absorb the weakest and they will combine all the lovely DNA they have harvested on their travels. This is the first time I've heard about it being observed in universe.

It actually saddens me, because that was literally the whole purpose of my fleet - Hive Fleet Chimaera was supposed to be an archive of sorts, saving all the best adaptations in case things go AWOL.

Maybe other hive fleets deliberately drop a few of their good adaptations behind for your guys to hoover up and add to the library?

Why would you only ever keep one backup?

"Strangely, the initial Invasion of Hydra seem to have bypassed other, more likely targets, instead seeking out splinter of previous Tyranid Invasions in order to canibalise them."

Not to be confused with "The phantom Menace"! :happy.:
