Their number is probably only limited by game mechanic(you cant expect the game to summon trillions of them at the same time) and in the game the Prethoryn don't have other empires economic or fleet limit limitation to build their fleets, but Tyranids will murder Prethoryn simply because they have stronger individual creatures and Warhammer verse in general still more dangerous verse than stellaris so conquered galaxy in warhammer verse seems more impressive feat for me.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:The problem is how finite they seem to be in number compared to their opponents here, unless I'm missing something.
With sufficient number the Prethoryns will easily stomps High 4-CDerpCity said:The Tyranid Dominatrices are Small Planet level, so I'll vote for the Tyranids since it says the Prethoryns are only Multi-Continent level, so they have no way to put them down.
Well, Tyranids are able to adapt to almost anything, which makes them incredibly dangerous. However, their numbers are also a big factor in why they're viewed as such a threat. There are, at minimum, enough Tyranids to span several lightyears, and it's implied there are enough Tyranids to literally fill the galaxy, iirc.Not Jim Sterling said:If the Tyranids cant do that then I pretty sure the Tyranids won't be considered as very dangerous threat for the imperium when the imperium them self need to deal with several SS level threat.
Yep, but that how Prethoryn reproduce too, although they kinda behave like zerg in sense they will cover the entire planet with some sort biomass(after they consume everything else) and then create their own nest, albeit at the same time the Tyranids probably can take advantage from their biomass lol.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:Well, Tyranids are able to adapt to almost anything, which makes them incredibly dangerous.

This is of course not even considering the fact that they are constantly making even more Tyranids from the biomass they consume.
Just curious, but it's the Necrons is still not at full power? and the eldar is still kinda **** up due to the eye of terror insiden?Aparajita said:The Nids are able to threaten Holy Terra with the entire Imperial Fleet.
The Eldar, Necrons and Imperium of Man entered a rocky Alliance and used a massive Ork WAAAAGH to distract the Nids and were still losing.
They'll take this.
The Necrons would shitstomp everyone else in the galaxy right now, if they were at full power.Not Jim Sterling said:Just curious, but it's the Necrons is still not at full power? and the eldar is still kinda **** up due to the eye of terror insiden?
Do you mean complete full power like, living Ctan among them or just regular full power?Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:The Necrons would shitstomp everyone else in the galaxy right now, if they were at full power.
Full strength, full number, War in Heaven era 'Crons.Aparajita said:Do you mean complete full power like, living Ctan among them or just regular full power?
Because i'd put the IoM against the Necron Armies pre-heresy and i'd say the IoM would stand a pretty good chance.
Might be wrong, though, honestly.
At the cost of the majority of their race, yeah.Not Jim Sterling said:Pretty sure most of them is still slumbering and they beat the Ctans.
Ah, right. The Retcon made Necrons go to war against the Ctan instead of obeying them.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:At the cost of the majority of their race, yeah.Not Jim Sterling said:Pretty sure most of them is still slumbering and they beat the Ctans.
Scary thing... Is it from 7 Edition?Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:"Even by naming the Great Devourer, men betray their ignorance. Every thought and action, every spark of life in the Tyranid race is bound and interlinked into a single great organism stretching over light years of space and controlled by the immortal hive mind. A billion times a billion Tyranids stand at the rim of the galaxy, each no more than a single cell in the living body of the hive mind, the devourer of worlds." - Codex: Tyranids
"Great entity" in this context is referring to the race as a whole (all the Hive Fleets before they start splitting in their attack and then dividing even further into tendrils), since they all (with very few exceptions) share one consciousness, and every Tyranid itself is considered just one part of the greater organism.Jockey-1337 said:"Great entity" - what is it? Entire fleet? Or whatever big bioship?
