Rise of the Swarmlord Hive Mind of ANON 12/01/15(Tue)09:31:39 No.43926594 Archived

You emerge from the Tyrannocyte that brought you to this planet's surface. You survey what the Norn Queen has sent down ahead of you: 2 Tervigons, 25 Ripper Swarms, and 3 Tyranid Warriors.
It is time for you to rise. It is time...for the Swarmlord to triumph once again.
You review what the Hive Mind has implanted inside your memories.
Tervigons give you 10 Termaguants and 10 Hormaguants each. Ripper Swarms allow you to build a Digestion Pool, so you can start earning Biomass and create a Birthing Pool so you can start getting units. Basically, you have 2 resources, Req and Biomass. Biomass is used to build units if you already have the blueprints for them and to build new builings. Req is used to convince the Norn-Queen to give us MOAR UNITS, basically give us some blueprints for our Breeding Pools. Tyranid Warriors work kinda like supply in Starcraft, they give you more population for your units. Each one is +10 pop, meaning right now you can build an additional 5 units.
You think of some ideas of where to go from here.
Build a base!
Assign your Tyranid Warriors to do shit, for example Research materials.
Investigate the strange psionic transmissions coming from the North of where you land.
BTW, if you haven't figured it out, Warriors, and eventually, all synapse creatures, can be assigned to do shit around the base like researching or producing weapons.

You are on the Planet Zyraxis, and you do not know yet. The Hive Mind wasn't able to gwet Genestealers down here, as they all mysteriously died.

Can we observe the planet around us? Is it a forest world, desert, ice, volcanic etc?

In any case, the first thing we should do is search out a sheltered position with good overview of the local area.

Omnom on all local inferior wildlife we come across on the way.

Once there, the Rippers will start building our first digestion pool, one warrior and a bunch of rippers/gaunts can go scout and mark good hunting grounds. We need to grow fast, but should establish sources of renewable biomass until we are strong enough can start our first devouring-orgy.

> Realize that we are not Zerg, we do not build bases to train units on the surface.
> Wonder why our Norn Queen is a Huge Bitch and isn't dropping at least 42 Billion Tyranids on this spot this instant.
> Evaluate the strategic benefits of not sending Lictors with your first drop-party to scout out possible enemy defenses.
> Realize that you, the Swarmlord, are one of the most valuable units in the entire HiveFleet, and have an accompanying force that numbers so few that you don't even need to use all 4 sets of hands to count them.
> Marvel at the fact that even the smallest Tau army outnumbers you at this point.
> Examine BoneSabres, attempt to revert stats to 5th Edition, where you could actually go toe-to-toe with a Bloodthirster.
> Remember that it's spelled HormagAUNT, TermagANT.

Rolling dice for seven actions.

>100 on realizing how Important we are.

We are a very egotistical SwarmLord.
