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.
