Coming to a planet near you.

 

Tyranids make Zerg and Flood look like harmless little babies basically.

 

Intresting.

 

Not to mention Zerg were basically designed after the Tyranids. The early concept arts for them for the first Starcraft look very similar.

 

But the Zerg have personality. Or sort of.

 

Actually, I would say the Tyranids have more personality and "backstory" than the Zerg. A lot of the Zerg concepts are based off Tyranids such as hive mind, and cerebrates etc. The Tyranids actually have synpase creatures which are kinda like overlords or cerebrates of the zerg that use their mind to control the lesser strands of Tyranids.

 

Blizzard takes inspiration for a lot of things.

A great deal from Norse Myth too. Jourmangand brood, Surtur brood, Valkeries, Vikings.

Hydralisks remind me a little of Aliens.

 

I know I'm probably gonna get a lot of flak for saying this on a Blizzard fansite but I think Warhammer 40ks universe is WAY better than Starcrafts although the one thing they do have over the 40k universe is that they make better RTS games. .

 

The 40k universe has an astounding backstory. It's crazy

 

Yeah I tried reading up on it last night.

GOD I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

 

I'd say start at the beginning, but hell if I know what the beginning is.

 

lulz

 

Any links?

I'm interested in finding out more.

 

Yes the link at the beginning of the thread and just go from there.

Waaagh!

 

I'd hate to be one of his soldiers.

 

Yes, there is no retreat for the men of the imperium. I remember in the first Dawn of War RTS game the Imperial guard officers or commissars had a ability where he shoots one his soldiers in the head killing him and increases the moral of that squad.

 

What the ****?

What propoganda though right?
