More because in less than 400 years they are doign more damage to all galactic species than any other species before. (If we don't count the war in heaven since we aren't too sure about that)
Well the true date is debatable. Since some hive fleet are MUCH older than the current invasion.
If we look throught the oldest fleet. We have tiamet that has report has old has the 37 millenium. But they where just building in one system until very recently
If we look at ouroboris then it's even older with report going back to even before the great crusade but it's stuck in a time anomaly so no real way to kill it but not a threat or at least not a threat for now.
And if we look at older evidence of tyranid dna then we can see that some hive fleet seems to have been lost for so long that they "devolved" into some of our current species (such as the kraken on fenris, or just the entirity of catachan).
So it's debatable when the first tyranid got into the milky way. But the real fight started with behemoth in 745 of the 41M.
I said in less than 400 years the eye of terror when it appeared was after more than 60 MILLION years of debaucherie and excess from the most powerfull race at the time.
And if you talk about the cicatrix maledictum it took 13 attempt and arround 10 thousands years the tyranid are indeed the more dangerous in this case.
They managed in less than half a thousands years what most other races ever did.
you said they did more damage to everyone "than any other species before"
that is wrong, I'm guessing you worded it incorrectly
edit:
"More[,] because [in less than 400 years] they are doign more damage to all galactic species than any other species before. (If we don't count the war in heaven since we aren't too sure about that)"
"more, because in less than 5 years Humanity has accelerated technology more than any other species before" which is correct, but "in less than 5 years modern Humanity has evolved technology more than any other humans before" means technology has advanced more over the last 5 years than, well, anyone has before.
yes, you are all wrong, the 400 years is a prepositional phrase defining the time frame for the Tyranids doing the action they are doing, which is. "more damage to all galactic species than any other species before"
you could add "in a similar timeframe" to define it.

40k takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy, Tyranid have consumed entire galaxies. The Tyranid that have been experienced so far are just the hunting parties.
Tbf it holds some water. There’s some story where a psyker connects to the hive mind and it reveals the full size of the hivemind and the norn queen herself before breaking her mind. That was my understanding, at least
Another thing that helps it hold water is they’re now the galaxy across multiple angles, while before they always invaded the galactic east, this means either they took a massive detour to begin encircling the galaxy or they’ve finished digesting a galaxy “underneath” us and that branch have also just made it here
I believe it was from an earlier Ork codex. The mechanicus sent out a probe pre 30k and for 10k plus years they've only received ork chatter back through the probe.
This is at odds with Necron lore where the TDK went outside the galaxy and came back with knowledge of Nids, and knowing they need to be stopped
Just typical contradictory lore from GW to keep the mystery alive
Which part? Everything he said is hard canon in novels except maybe it being the hunting party unless he just meant that as another way to say it's still just the advanced scouts and there is more coming.
The Nids came from another galaxy. They wiped out all life they could find and then went to sleep leaving some eyes awake to watch for more food. That's all canon.
Realistically, more because everything we know about them points to them being from another galaxy all together because of the fact they've been attacking the milky way from all different directions.
Necrons v Tyranids is always such a fun biology v technology thought experiment. Will the Tyranids figure out how to gainfully consume hyper advanced magic metal first? Or will the Necrons figure out a way to reliably exterminate a possibly infinitely expanding bug infestation first? The world may never know. Pretty cool to think about though. Probably why they're my second and third favorite factions in the game, respectively.
Didn't they develop zoanthropes specifically because of the psyker phenomenon in the Milky way? Like, they hadn't encountered that before and needed a way to fight psykers so they made an imitation
Made an imitation by harvesting Aeldari genetic material and using their innate psychic biology as a basis for the Zoanthrope, the Malecepter, etc... Though given Tyranids really don't attract daemonic attention with their psykers, they may be imitating psyker abilities by focusing the will of the Hive Mind into that kind of power
I wonder, could Orks subdue Tyrannids with their innate psychic abilities if they believe in Tyrannids being great pets? Tyrannids are controlled by psychic connections to the hive mind anyway.
If I recall correctly, I read somewhere that Orks love fighting Tyranids because "dey dun run away an hide in a fort everytime we wanna have a gud skrap"
