Eat a sammich

>>7245185

We can't do shit about the Battle Barge at the moment, at least not without an assload of Tyrancrons and a ship. Chances are they'll Exterminatus the damn when the Fleet gets here...

Chances are we should go after the Slaaneshi cult, load of up on possible Hallucinogen Grenades and implant as many as possible along the way so we might have enough forces to assault that barge later.

>>7245314

> Exterminatus the damn planet when the fleet gets here...

But, yeah.

Query: We have Slaught, do we have the ability to create any aerosol Hallucinogens? That, combined with Slaught, could make the Khornate cult very easy to deal with.

>>7245247

You are a pomegranate, you don't even have a digestive tract.

>>7245314

Requesting Confirmation: Head with Chewy and remaining Plasmarippers to Slaaneshi Cultists power plant?

>>7245341

You'd have to get your hands on some Hallucinogen grenades and absorb their constituent chemicals to be able to manufactore your own Hallucinogens.

Always been sorta an idea of mine, and i've always wondered if it could work or even if it would happen....

But... say a tyranid fleet is slurping by and comes along a nice tasty planet with gobs of angry little crunchy creatures on it with tons of guns.... Of course the fleet wants to consume the planet, but the indigineous are being problematic to the survival of the hive...

Could the Fleet knock a nearby moon into the planet with sheer force/psychic pushing? or are they that massive?

TLDR: Tyranid Exterminatus? how do?

>>7245393
>tyranid
>exterminatus
>implying tyranids eating the atmosphere and all biomass doesn't exterminatus

>>7245349

Go for the power plant, Slaanesh cult needs to be taken down.

>>7245393

Bsed on what's going on in the Octavian system with the Orks at the moment, I'd say their answer to excessive resistance is "Send in more gribblies".

>>7245417

Confirmed: Implant any humans along the way, or ignore them? The streets are currently filled with mass panic at the giant fucking hole that a bunch of Grey Knights fell into and never came out of.

>>7245428

Implanting along the way might lead the more knowledge of our presence, possibly more resistance, and possibly those we implant being killed before they're ready.

Query: Can we make Rippers capable of implanting?

>>7245466
I'm with this man, if possible we should get implant-rippers to subtley implant bitches. If not, we stay quiet.

>>7245466

Yes, you can make Breeder Rippers, but it'll take 10 minutes to prooduce each one, and the plant is just 30 minutes away.

>>7245428
Ignore them, would take too long. Since the shadow front has hit then astropathic communication and direct warp jumps are impossible now. We need to start stepping up our destruction

Awaiting consensus on activities while en route to the plant.

Confirm breeder rippers to be dropped at random intervals.

>>7245487
10 mins is too long, head straight to the plant as quickly as possible.

>>7245497
>>7245487

Make 3 Implant rippers along the way, ignore humans yourself and leave the rippers to do it.

The Khornate cult might be problematic later, where is said cult located and who is it composed of?Civilians, noble, who?

>>7245549
If we can make them while moving, this. Ignore >>7245545

>>7245558

Upper hive and Nobles. This Node's idea is to pump the place full of Hallucinogen and Slaught to make them all go berserk and kill each other.

>>7245558

Top of the hive, primarily the children of Nobility.

Confirmed: Drop off Breedrippers on the way the the Slaaneshi plant.

When you finally make it back to the tremendous garbage dump where the cult resides, with the plant in the center, you see an interesting sight. The plant itself is dim, obviously shut down by your slaught and frenzon-mines in the ventilation systems. However, you're able to detect ample psychic activity in the chambers below the filth.

>>7245595
Interesting, how strong are said psychic signatures, and if able to tell, how many?

>>7245610

Weaker than the Grey Knights by several orders of magnitude, but there's at least a dozen of them, maybe more.

>>7245595

Oh fuck, they're summoning a daemon. Quick, send Chewy in to Gauss everything. Daemons are NOT good.

>>7245595
I say we sneaky-ninja-style take a look at what's going on down their, could we get a ripper to go down?

The shadow of the warp is ow present so all demons, psykers, and the like should be significantly weakened. Could we perhaps send out some sort of a recon ripper? telepathic preferably to get active reports.

>>7245632
>>7245633

We already now they were planning on summoning a Demon, it's why the Grey Knights were here. If there's a bunch of active Psykers, chances are that's exactly what they're doing.

We need to stop it, now.

Confirmation: A telepathic Synripper could be sent down to investigate. Given that your rippers can have 3 Psychic powers apiece, you may outfit it with 1 additional power, as well as a single biomorph.

>>7245627
If it is a demon, then they should have difficulty summoning it due to the shadow, and it just might fail and kill all the cultists.

>>7245653
Well then, it's time to get butchering. Down we go to OM NOM NOM them?

>>7245661
Holocaust and chameleon scales.

>You and your minions just finished butchering a squad of 5 Grey Knight Terminators

Magical fantasy land

>>7245696
They killed a force of about...80? I'm wanting to say that but... Including necro ogryns/ hybrids. Oh, and all the mines

>>7245696

It was actually a pretty epic battle. You should read the previous thread to see how heavy the casualties were.

>>7245678

Confirmed: What do you and Chewy wish to do while you manufacture said ripper (Approx. 5 minutes)?

>>7245696

Said minions were an assload of Plasma-rippers and a bar full of Necron/Tyranid hybrids.

>>7245721
Perhaps get out of sight, the more that know of us, the worse it is for us.

>>7245721

Chewy needs to go Rip and Tear, anything to delay the summoning.

>>7245721
Fap to psychic images of DAT NORN QUEEN ASS (incest is wincest, after all).

I suppose we just keep an eye out for anyone coming towards us.

>>7245737

The psychic signatures are coming from the lowest, largest chamber in the complex, buried beneath the tons of garbage. You're in no danger of being spotted atm.

>>7245721
Confirmation: Do we posses and leftover mines?
Suggestion: place mines near entrances.

>>7245756
Should we begin to head down, then?

>>7245764

You possess no more mines. However, you can produce them at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. Chewy can produce torturemines at a rate of 1 every two minutes, or Rippercrons 1 every 5 minutes.

>>7245756
Clarification: It's not them spotting us, it's civilians. If a civilian spots us we can be reported, and who knows, they might begin to defend themselves. Also that Tzeentch demon thing.

>>7245779
Suggestion: Find all possible entrances, and use the seemingly less obvious entrance, Send Chewy through the 2nd most obvious entrance.

>>7245817

Why not just tunnel through the filth?

>>7245817
I'm with this man, it's suitable sneaky and shouldn't leave tracks in the way tunnelling through would.

>>7245817
>>7245862

Confirmed: Locate entrances. Luckily, you already know where they are, thanks to eating the cult's leader's brain.

Any and all entrances are inside the power plant.

>>7245852
Oh yeah, not used to thinking at this hour.
Then how about we tunnel underneath said psychics and take a listen. If a summoning, pop up and slash/tear the summoning leader. Have plasma rippers tunnel to surround the room and to slaughter the rest, Chewy can take be the one to slice up the leader. As for DOOMLictor, he should hang back and be ready should he become necessary

>>7245862
>>7245817

Are we all forgetting that they're probably summoning a demon down there? We can't guarantee Shadow in the Warp will stop them, and as it is a Slaaneshi cult, most of them are probably drugged as hell anyway.

Run in, rip and tear before the summoning happens. Just a few psykers dying should stop it.

>>7245922
And the possibility of them not? They know of us and they could be trying to trap and kill us. Wait and observe

Awaiting a consensus on next course of action.

>>7245942

That's why we should send Chewy, they aren't expecting a Lictcron.

>>7245959
Confirm:>>7245897

I say burrow underneath and kill them. Nom on brains to find out what they were doing after.

>>7245963
My idea send Chewy for the first attack, Doomlictor hangs back, chewy is more immune to attack than Doomlictor.

Confirm: Have Chewy go in to take on cultists alone, or with Plasmaripper support?

>>7245959
After thought: has chewy began work on his Termie armor?

Query: Is the Chewyporter completed yet and if so how effective is it? Can we use it to teleport groups?

>>7246008
Confirm, plasma ripper support.

>>7246024
I believe the chewy porter only works to sending him to the battle barge. Am I correct in this assumption?

>>7246014
>>7246024

No. Ceramite production has not yet occurred, and Chewyporter is 4.5 hours away from viability.

>>7246055
Query: Can Ceramite production be done while mobile?

Reading through the past threads.

All I gotta say is this is Fear and Lictoring in Sectavian V.

Seriously, first thread is about getting drugs, more drugs, and more drugs!

We are a cracked out super lictor man!

>>7246070

Depends: Are you talking about integrating plates into his own form, or producing plates that can be integrated elsewhere?

>>7246080
COCAINE COCAINE COCAINE COCAINE COCAINE
COCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

>>7246080

The threads get weirder the deeper in you go.

>>7246092
His own form.

>>7246110

Chewy can generate a centimeter of ceramite to cover himself with every two minutes, to a maximum of 50 centimeters.

>>7246098

>>7246110
>>7246092
Waaaaaiiit. How are we assuming that nids are male? Do they have a gender or are they just its? Brain hurt.

>>7246148

Him/his/he make a better narrative than "it".

Although in all honesty, since you're both spawning minions, Chewy and Doomlictor are probably both female.

>>7246148
See, for normal organisms, you can have asexual reproduction, or chromossomes that determine gender. But tyranids' genes are a fuckfest, where you can always fit more. Gender as we understand doesn't make much sense. Though you can still develop a penis and tits if you really feel like it.

>>7246135
How thick until it begins to affect his performance?
Begin Ceramite production immediately until it begins to affect performance. (If it's effect and anon is going to say something, go away grammar Nazi)

>>7246193

20 cms are as high as it can go before it starts to affect his mobility.

Generating this much ceramite will take 40 minutes.

>>7246220
If he can remain unhindered by production, then begin immediately. If will affect performance while producing Ceramite, we better hold off. Begin production to 20 cm.

>>7246242

Commencing Ceramite production.

Query: Any other hive node getting alittle concerned about how strong Chewy is getting compared to Doomlictor? Is there any upgrades or evolutions we could subject to Doomlictor to improve say psychic capability or something?

>>7245897
I motion we go with my plan unless someone wishes to amend it.
>>7246098
>>7246141
and you 2, stop distracting me. Oh and, COCIANE!

>>7246271
Doomlictor has the hive node, they are under Doomlictors control, Chewy submits to our will. Chewy is not a threat. Though strengthening Doomlictor sounds good. Ideas?

Geez, wheres the regulars, I'm not a very good planner.

>>7246319

This is a lot earlier than the usual time, so I'd imagine they're asleep/working.

>>7246271
This is tyranids, not Orks. He's not gonna get any ideas and want to become Boss.

Shits gone silent. We need to cause some havoc!

While the ceramite is forming, we should go find some new biomass to OMNOMNOMNOM on.

>>7246406

From the slum surrounding the refuse pit?

>>7246406
I concur it's nom time.

Request: recap of current situation, such as who is where, doing what, preparing to do what now?

>>7246406

Specifically, Cultists. We need to produce more Plasma Rippers to send in a swarm when we attack.

Speaking of which, we need to attack soon, we can't wait for Chewy's armor.

>>7246433

Chewy: Excreting Ceramite.
Doomlictor: Just shat out a telepathy/synapse/holocaust ripper with some other biomorph I forget.
Plasmarippers: Idling.
Telesyncaustripper: Burrowing towards the lowest chamber to check things out.

If the Doomlictor consumes the psykers that are in the cave doing what we assume is a summoning will it's psyhic possible grow with new abilities?

>>7246471

Correct.

>>7246487
Well what does the wee ripper see?

>>7246511

As it burrows down deeper, it can feel the psychic emanations getting stronger. When it finally emerges into the chamber, it's confronted by quite a sight.

Dozens of cultists wearing blue robes adorned with gold trimming and feathers are chanting, circling the edges of the room as a pinprick of warp energy forms in the center, and begins to grow.

>>7246541
FFFFFF-

DISRUPT! DISRUPT!

>>7246541
Oh fuck oh fuck, kill it now kill it now, we don't want more of the little shit kids. send in plasma rippers, send in chewy, send in everyone, stop them now.

Fuck they're breaking through the Warp Shadow. We really need to get in there right the fuck now.

Can our scout identify the psykers/leaders of the ceremony?

>>7246541

SEE? SUMMONING, WE NEED TO STOP THIS SHIT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, WE'VE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME AND NOW WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME SLAANESHI DEMON WHORE RAPING OUR OVIPOSITOR.

WITH TENTACLES.

>>7246541
all weapons and biomorphs free, no mercy, no restrictions, kill them all as fast as possible.

>>7246578
Wrong chaos god you idiot.

>>7246570
>>7246577

All of your forces begin burrowing down towards the cultists with all haste, as your observation ripper continues to... Observe.

Suddenly, an arc of lightning flares off from the slowly-growing portal, and fries the observing ripper into a stain on the wall.

>>7246601
Now I'm concerned, should we hold Doomlictor back in case of worse case scenario?

Cue boss battle music.

>>7246596

YOU THINK TZEENTCH WOULDN'T RAPE US WITH TENTACLES TOO?

Blue and gold equates to Tzeentch, feathers could mean a possible Greater Daemon? Disrupt at all costs! Identify the leader via and use Holocaust with the ripper.

>>7246620
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDGBUp25i8U

>>7246632
Ripper is dead.
>>7246625
You said Slaanesh.

>>7246640

More like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn5YUpd9nu8

>>7246661
I just typed in boss battle music and thats what i got.

Hive Nodes! Settle!

Some form of Daemonic summoning is taking place within the chamber just below you.

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?

>>7246660

WHO CARES WHICH IT IS, IT STILL MEANS RAPE AND DEATH, KILLITKILLITKILLITKILLIT

>>7246689
Go all out right now. They just killed your ripper, any element of surprise is lost. The sooner you hit, the less time they have to mount a defense and be ready for more.

>>7246689
Send in everyone but Doomlictor, See if doomlictor can activate his personal shadow of the warp to maximum power, see if we can't disrupt that demon. We want his shadow to mass effect, even if it means he get's close.

Send in the Rippers! Drugs for the Drug Lords! Noms for the Norn Queen!

The rippers should disrupt the ritual and take out some cultists. We'll follow along afterward to wreck some shit ourselves.

RIP AND TEAR!

>>7245185
Pic is of our Ripper before he got blasted.

>>7246712
>>7246713

Confirmed: Sned in Chewy and 20 Plasmarippers.

Chewy kicks open a hole down into the chamber, and sails downward, accompanied by a rain of Plasmarippers, which begin blasting indiscriminately. One by one, the plasma rippers are getting fried by lightning arcing off the portal. Chewy begins to RIP'N'TEAR the cultists closest to him, but the portal is still expanding - It's now the size of a manhole cover, and you can see a birdlike eye the size of a dinner plate staring out through it.

MAIMKILLBURNCRUSHCHOMPSTOMPBITECHEWSWALLOWOMNOMNOMNOMNOM THE LOT OF THEM!

For our fallen ripper! It's death will not be in vain!

>>7246720

WAIT, BEFORE CHEWY GOES IN, HAVE HIM CRON SOME OF OUR RIPPERS, THAT SHOULD KEEP THEM FROM BEING INSTAGIBBED

Our concern is the demon, kill all, the more powerful the psyker, the higher the priority, kill them first.

>>7246753

Throw a ripper at the eye!

>>7246765

TOO LATE, SHIT, KILL THE PSYKERS FIRST, IF THE BASTARD CAN'T GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH WE'RE MOSTLY SAFE.

DO WE HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY SURVIVORS NEAR THE GK THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR ANTI-DAEMON WEAPONS?

>>7246753
shiiiiii, how flammable is this place? if very, use chewys flamer bits and burn it to the ground.

>>7246786
we can't use GK weaponry except the flamer, but chewy ate those.

>>7246778

One of the Rippers lunges towards the portal, and gets incinerated by a blast of lightning. A chuckling begins to fill the chamber.

>>7246786

Chewy consumed all the GK gear. Sadly, he's made of Necrodermis, so can't really utilize/reproduce any psychic-based effects.

>>7246789

This particular chamber has been warded against most methods of destruction, including flames.

Does our localized “Shadow in the Warp” do anything?

>>7246819
holy promehtium that chewy ate, plus bird eye w/ flammable feathers = lulz?

>>7246819
Flesh Hook to that daemon eye!

>>7246819

Nooooo! Ripper-chan!

That's it! BURN THEM ALL! The room might be warded, but I don't think the cultists are!

>>7246819
I keep remembering that girls grox doll, what the fuck does a grox look like?

>>7246819

Make Chewy develop Psyker weapon spikes thingys ASAP, if we we're forced to, maybe we can grab him and use our psyker powers to activate the spikes and use him as a big spiky battering ram.

Have chewy spray the place with fire and run? this demon may be too big for us.

>>7246833

It might be slowing the portal's expansion.

>>7246849
>>7246837

Chewy begins to walk towards the portal, torching cultists as he passes them. The laughter emanating from the portal increases in volume and intensity.

>>7246872
Attempt psychic communication, send message:
"Who are you?"

>>7246896

Attempt communication with Chewy, or the eye?

>>7246908
Chewy already knows who I am, the eye, If it's Tzeentch based, it likes to talk. If all else fails scour Justicars brain for ideas.

>>7246896
>>7246908

Bad damn idea, it's a daemon, we kill it, that's it. We're not going to make friends with it.

SPRAY THE WHOLE DAMN PLACE WITH FIRE, KEEP CHEWY AWAY FROM THAT PORTAL, god knows if that fucking bird can't get control of him.

>>7246922

As you attempt to communicate with it, your head is filled with insane, cackling, daemonic laughter.

It doesn't want to talk. It wants to enter the material plane.

And Chewy is within 10 meters of it now.

>>7246934
He's part cron, the other demon flung chewy like a ragdoll and didn't blow our brain to bits, the grox said there was something to tell us, we just chose the wrong words last time. and it's a demon, it can't be killed.

>>7246937
Two ideas, flame and run or Phase claw and pray (hurray necron shit).

The hole is now big enough for a Space Marine to pass through, and is still growing. You can make out the edge of the daemon's mouth, and it's twisted upwards in an insidious grin.

Chewy status: 7m from portal.

>>7246937
Well, we're fairly psychically powerful and much less vulnerable to insanity than, say, a human. Launch a telepathic assault on the demon to distract it while Chewy does his thing.

Full power to the Shadow of the Warp generators!

Cut it off from the material plane! It shall not fuck with our plans!

>>7246973

Command: Flame giant eye with holy promethium.

Error...

Chewy unresponsive to synaptic orders.

>>7247031
give it a shot of fire in it's eyes, if that does nothing, run. It's too powerful.

>>7246937
Time to make some sacrifices for the Hive Mind.

Focus our localized Shadow In the Warp through Chewy and have him load his Necrodermis gear to full gause. Then have him jump into the Warp portal and explode himself. The opposed nature of necrontyr technology to warp energy should close the portal
>>7247037
Or...we push his ass in.

>>7247053
Sounds pretty epic, it gets my vote.

>>7247037
shit, chewy might be on is own.

>>7247053
>>7247063

Let's not, Chewy is valuable as hell, though this WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF HE HADN'T GONE NEAR THE PORTAL.

Get Chewy responsive again, once he is, shoot Gauss through the portal, and are those fucking psykers dead yet?

His sacrifice is glory for the entire hive...also this demon is totally going to kill us if it gets out and we're not good to anyone dead.

My vote is to kick chewy into the portal like a football

Time to start on Chewy number 2

>>7247053

Chewy status: 1m from the portal, which is now large enough to drive a Rhino through.

Chewy's head turns, looking back up to you in your nest on the ceiling. He fires off a quick synaptic data-parcel to your mind - too much data to be processed instantly.

Having sent you his last report, he turns back to the cackling Daemon, and spreading his arms, walks through the portal, as Null-energy pulses visibly across his form.

As soon as he has been fully engulfed by the portal, it shrinks down to the size of the head of a pin for a moment, then explodes in a burst of pure warp-energy, blowing the entire complex sky-high. You're ejected from the trash pit, sent flying over the slums and into one of the upper floors of an abandoned building in the center of the business district of the underhive - which is currently under about 60 feet of water, with you having landed on a story about 20 feet above the water level..

>>7247135
>>7247151

Do none of you know how to play cautiously? If Chewy committing suicide fails, do you have ANY IDEA HOW FUCKED WE ARE?

evac to a safe position, begin 2nd chewy, try to locate left over nercodermises, begin to rebuild.

>>7247160
All those resources gone, ceramite, gone, necro tech, gone, flamer, gone, chewy, gone. God damn demons.

A brief moment of silence for our dear departed Rippercron

Being the crazed fool I am; Who's to say Chewy is gone? We have no recollection of what happen when the portal exploded and we went flying.

Query: Does the Hive wish to examine the Data-parcel Chewy sent just prior to his destruction?

>>7247238
Yaesz.

>>7247238

We might as well, maybe he'll tell us an alternative means to kill the demon that didn't require his death.

>>7247238
If you make it sappy or some shit im gonna kill you. but yes.

Yes, examine it while we mourn

>>7247238
gonna read it or what?

>>7247342
HE'S SPENDING TIME MAKING IT INTERESTING GODDAMNIT FRANK.

>>7247342
Must be a lot of data.

>>7247247
>>7247249
>>7247252

Unpacking data parcel...

The packet of information is a record of Chewy's life. His birth deep within Doomlictor's egg sacs, his successful attack on the Slaaneshi cult's leader, of which he was the only survivor, and his absorbtion of the Necrontyr tech - The precise moment that he gained his own conciousness. And decided to continue to obey Doomlictor's synaptic instructions, without question.

He retained his own mind throughout the following events, seperate and apart from your own - His technological brain slowly coming into its own. All of the Necronized tyranid organisms were directly under his control, not yours. He could have disobeyed an order at any time, to act in his own best interests of self-preservation. He could have, with his brood, turned on you at any time.

And yet he didn't.

And throughout all of this, one underlying desire, so strong as to replace the urge to feed. So strong that he disregarded his own newly-discovered sense of self in order to pursue it.

The desire to make the Hive Mind proud. But more specifically, to make his creator, Doomlictor, proud. He knew that it was a futile desire, he knew that pride was an emotion unknown to the Tyranid swarms of which Doomlictor was a part. But his desire was there all the same. And he pursued it, to his death. He knew that he would not be able to be reabsorbed back into the Hive Fleets, and so ended himself to give you a chance. A chance to complete your mission.

I told chewy not to look at those sites the god damn viruses are slowing the synapse down, wheres avast?

>>7247381
Muh-fuggin' 'nid salute, brah. Manly tears emerging- cannot resist... ;_;

>>7247381
...that was sappy...you're a dead man.

>>7247410

Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

>>7247381
Well, there's that, then. At least we still have his DNA template from when he was originally a ripper, eh?

Let's move on and devour this hive. We need to deal with the battle-barge somehow. Maybe call up the Patriarch, see how things are going.

>>7247381
>>7247405
We are nids, we care not for emotion, only to feed, we are the hive mind and he was not part of it, even his rippers were not. If he was not part of the hive mind, then he was a traitor and enemy to be consumed. Nothing of value was lost.

Start producing breeder-rippers; we need a damned army

>>7247441
Confirm

>>7247441

Current inventory:

Time until Fleet's arrival: 3 days
Time until Planetary Shadow in the Warp: 0
Inventory/Assets: Inferno Pistol.
Current Biomorphs: Rending Claws, Mantid Claws, Bioplasma, Feeder Tendrils, Chameleonic Scales, Drug Miasma (Obscura, slaught, frenzon), Adrenal Glands, Egg Sacs, Synapse Node, Warp-Lobe, Pistol Socket, Ovipositor, Flesh Hooks, Stinger, Toxin Sacs
Warp Abilities: Telekinesis, Telepathy, Mind-Blast, Localized Shadow in the Warp, Synapse Control, Levitation, Holocaust

>>7247433

Except, of course, when that thing lost is an irreplaceable resource that could have assisted us greatly against the Battle Barge.

You know, chances are there's more Grey Knights up there, normal nids aren't going to be able to do jack shit against them.

>>7247381

>>7247451
Find a nice spot to hide/spawn, send a messenger to the broodlord, inform him of the Demon and to exorcise caution.

>>7247457
If they do not obey the hive then they are a liability. Nothing was lost.

>>7247475

The building that you're currently in is abandoned, and the first 60 or so stories are flooded.

This might make a good nest.

>>7247451
Query: what of our objectives have not been achieved yet and what opportunities do we have for further discord to be sown while achieving them

>>7247381
I could not find a picture awesome enough to describe this post, so have some Cheesetank instead.

>>7247485

*6 stories, not 60.

>>7247488

Remaining known threats: Khornate Cult, Inquisitorial Battle Barge.

Looking down at the waters surrounding the building, they're filthier than you would expect them to be.

>>7247433
If I had emotions I would SO want to kill you for saying that.

>>7247506
>they're filthier than you would expect them to be.

Well, this is probably the first bath those Nurgle cultists have ever had.

>>7247495
use rubble to clog up major entrances. Begin spawning breeder rippers, plasma rippers, and a few drug mines.

>>7247484

Ah, but Chewy DID obey. Up until his final moments, when he took the initiative and sacrificed himself to further the Hive's cause.

>>7247506

Clean water, in MY hive city?

Unfuckingthinkable!

Suggestion: Every ripper we spawn now should be based off of Chewy's original bio-template. It's obviously awesome enough to keep using.

>>7247521
That made me lol.

>>7247523
>>7247537

Confirmed: Begin to spawn Ripper variants based off of original Chewy-Template.

How long do you wish to spend doing this? It takes 5 minutes to spawn a single ripper.

>>7247537
Suggestion seconded.

>>7247551

Clarification: This should be the default action whenever rippers are spawned.

>>7247537

Agreed. Also, send out at least 4 Scout Rippers to find any remaining pieces of Necrodermis, we'll need it either as armor plating or to create more crons to send against the Battle Barge, depending on if we can actually make more crons with it or not without Chewy.

>>7247537

Suggestion: Instead of Rippers we will call them Chewers from here on out.

>>7247537
modify template to ensure complete reliance on hive mind, we don't need splinter hives on this planet, just because chewy was loyal doesn't mean these new ones will be.

>>7247551
Do so continuously as we carry out other actions. Breeder-rippers with camo and psychic powers, if we can manage to cram that many attributes into them.

Contact the Patriarch to discuss our next move.

>>7247551
Question: Possibility to spawn rippers on the run, if so, how long per ripper?

>>7247573

Chewy only gained a mind of his own when he absorbed the Necrodermis. He didn't contain any inherent programming flaws.

>>7247573

He was only sentient because of the necrodermis.

>>7247590
Do we want to risk getting more necrodermis, then? As Mr Hive Node 1 said, we don't want any splinter hives.

>>7247575

Endorsing this suggestion. If all biomorphs are not feasible, camo over psychic powers. Ambush predation seems to be the order of the day.

>>7247576

Confirmed: Still 5 minutes per.

>>7247575

This will up the creation time to 7 minutes. Confirm?

As you ponder your next course of action, you see the Rippernest that you laid at the dam before blowing it up float by, surrounded by a swarm of protective swimming Rippers.

Suggestion: Nest for sufficient amount of time to produce 3 scouts and 6 breeders; primary objective remains secure planetside; the hive has resources for dealing with extra-planetary threats

make a ripper hive to spawn rippers from here to spread around the area, give the hive synapse capability so you can keep in touch and order them around if you need

>>7247624
Get dem rippers under Synapse.

>>7247615
The necrodermis is a great asset, but the risk of us becoming the resistance on this planet is too great.

We have too much left to do before the hive gets here. I think our next course of action is to deal with the Khornates. We can think of a way to deal with the battle barge once the Hive has been subdued.

Thought: have we ever heard from the other Lictor's supposedly dropped to the planet?

Other thought: Why has Doomlictor not been drawfagged yet?

>>7247624
Confirm ripper specs.

>As you ponder your next course of action, you see the Rippernest that you laid at the dam before blowing it up float by, surrounded by a swarm of protective swimming Rippers.
Awesome. Retrieve, and share genetic information so that it can produce our new ripper design.

>>7247637

Confirmed: Rippers and Rippernest in the water 20 feet below are under your Synaptic command now.

>>7247624

If there are any signs of evolution from when we first created it, snag one of the rippers and eat it to assimilate the changes. In fact, eat one of them anyway.

>>7247645

No contact has been established with other Lictors.

As to the drawfaggotry... Someone in the thread last night was going to draw up the scene of NecrolictorChewy pulling out the Justicar's hearts, but so far no one has even proposed anything similar with Doomlictor. Perhaps because at this point, no one's sure what he looks like.

>>7247654

GET OVER HERE!

>>7247687

Dr. Rockso as a lictor, cradling a pile of cocaine as big as he is.

>>7247687

Regular lictor with doomrider's hair imo.

>>7247664
>>7247697

Requesting Confirmation: Have Rippers drag Rippernest up to your level, then devour one of the Rippers for the sake of detecting evolutionary adaptations?

>>7247645
Why kill the Khornates? Why not have our enemies fight among themselves, the cult are the children of nobles. If we can get them to cause havoc for the battle barge, that's less of a fight for the hive fleet, even crippling it will be significant.

>>7247710

Confirmed. It's been some time since that hive was created, reintegrating some of its biomass is a good idea.

>>7247710
Sounds good to me.

>>7247710
We don't need them to drag it; we can just lift it with our telekinesis. And if we don't need to actually devour a Ripper to detect any changes, then we shouldn't bother.

But yes, get the nest and share genetics.

>>7247727
>>7247731

The mass of Rippers swarming around the nest solidifies, and begins hauling it up the building to you. It quickly becomes apparent that there are hundreds of rippers here.

>>7247642

Suggestion: Cut Hive Node 1 off from the hivemind. His suggestions have only been detrimental to the mission and have ultimately lead to the loss of Chewy, a valuable resource.

Chewy could almost guarantee victory against the Battle Barge, if we got there, but he could in no way stand against the whole fleet. Some resistance from him would have been bad, but an exterminatus on the planet because we fail to stop the barge will ruin everything.

>>7247746
Based upon our information from the Grey Knights' brains, the battle barge is equipped for standard orbital bombardment but not exterminatus. There's no guarantee that there are no other ships around with that capability, though.

>>7247741

Paranoia: Any signs of deviation from the hivemind's control?

>>7247746

Suggestion: Fuck off. This would have gone to shit way faster if the daemon had broken free.

>>7247746
I believe Goblin had already stated it was not capable of an exterminatus, correct?

>>7247746
Nahh, we needed to kill that daemon. Chewy will not be forgotten - his genetic template lives on - so do not be angry for him.

>>7247760

None. Rippers are under strict synaptic control.

And stop bickering, nodes, or else the Norn Queen's going to have to come down there and slap you around a bit.

>>7247781

Paranoia sated for the moment. Locate one of the more recently-spawned rippers and consume it.

>>7247781
Sounds kinky. Anyway, what should we be doing now we've got ourself the nest? Send rippers out to NOM NOM people for biomass?

Query: what kind of army should be amassed? Rippers, hybrids, or whatever else you all can imagine.

>>7247768

It wouldn't have gone to shit at all if we hadn't pause "to scout" first and had just ran in and slaughtered everything when we felt psykers down there.

>>7247788

Consuming...

Notable Deviations: Each Ripper produced by this Rippernest is capable of independent reproduction, with Synaptic guiding of offspring's desired biomorphs possible.

In effect, you just gained a Ripper Factory, and 400 Breeding Rippers.

>>7247802
I say shittons of rippers since we've got a ripper nest at our feet.

>>7247803
Goblin is DMing, it would have happened anyway, so quit bickering.

>>7247803
we are not invincible, do not assume that to be the case

>>7247810
make shit tons of rippers
COMBINE TO FORM RIPPERMECH
PILOT RIPPERMECH TO VICTORY

>>7247810

This. Add amphibious capabilities if possible, camo scales, and ambush programming to the basic Chewy-template and transfer it to the ripper nest for production.

Rippers are well and good but the Warp Shadow is here and we need to start stepping shit up.

Gentlemen...its time to upgrade to Gaunts.

>>7247847
someone drawfag this, now!

>>7247808
Delightful. Let's leave the nest here with fifty or so as guards, constantly making more breeder/camo/psychics, and take the rest of them on a crazy implantation spree.

>>7247852

On second thought, this idea has merit. Standard termagaunts?

>>7247852

Confirmation: While Doomlictor himself is not capable of producing Gaunt-sized organisms, the Rippernest, with some Synaptic gene-tinkering, could be altered to begin producing larger tyranid organisms (Albeit at a much slower rate).

>>7247852
Gaunts...brilliant, but somewhat unwise. They are significantly bigger and easier to detect. We don't need orbital bombardments now. maybe more towards the end, if anything we can set up the hatcheries for it.

>>7247870

With enough tom foolery could we produce hugafexes? Just curious.

>>7247877
we can use the orbital bombardments to our advantage.
get the barge's attention to focus on the khornate cult.

>>7247870

Reprogram ripper nest for Gaunt production, leave half of the rippers with it as defense, take the other half to go set up another nest elsewhere?

>>7247887
The trick to that is not blowing ourselves up in the process.

>>7247877
Could we fuck with the nest to produce lictors and/or raveners, then? Yes, they're big, but they're both able to be sneaky-sneaky, are they not? Ravener tunnels would come in handy with a lot of things, too.

>>7247868
>>7247870

50/50 Termigaunts and Hormigaunts I say. This right here is our first Beach-head. We have plenty of rippers to guard it and expand it. Once spores start raining down we'll really be in business.

I agree, separate nest for second minions. and deathgaunts, not pussy termagaunts

>>7247883

If you fed all the breeder-rippers to the rippernest, you could probably get one basic meleefex up and running tihin 2.5 days.

Why not set up the nest to build us another nest? Exponential growth demands it.

>>7247914

Not worth it. One massive investment like that would be easy for local resistance to locate and destroy.

>>7247914

Not worth it.

not when one slippery floor and a pile bayonets kills the carnifex

>>7247904
More independent, but loyal, creatures sound good, but why kill the Khornates? Why not trick the to use their influence to cause havoc, I'm not looking for friends, I'm looking for tools.

>>7247883

Hundreds of unyuuNids. They must make unyuu~ every time they attack.

I think we should go forward with the Gaunts. The Shadow is here so it's time to cut loose. We've been waiting for Nine Lictor Quests to start going wild and while that doesnt mean being stupid, it does mean we have to start thinking Big.

Alright, I guess I need to lay down how long it'll take to create what with the Rippernest.

Ripper-derivatives: 2 minutes per.
Gaunt-derivatives: 15 minutes per.
Warrior-derivatives: 3 hours per.
Carnifex-derivatives: 2.5 days per.

>>7247914
too long to be really useful for us what about a zoanthrope?

>>7247952

One nest for gaunts, another for rippers. It's time for the Great Devourer to make itself known.

>>7247952
begin gaunt derrivatives. after 2 hours of gaunt production make a warrior derrivative

>>7247952

Addendum/Definitions:

Ripper-derivative: Anything based off of the ripper template.
Gaunt-derivative: Hormagaunts, Termagants, Spinegaunts, Gargoyles, and anything else from the Gaunt template.
Warrior-derivative: Raveners, Lictors, Warriors, and Zoanthropes.

Biovores would take approximately two days to gestate, further rippernests would take 12 hours.

>>7247963

Not really feasable I think this nest took like two days to get this big.

We seem to have an agreement on the Gaunts thing though.

>>7247952
A few warriors ought to be good. by the way, we're nearing 300 posts, we got shit done.

>>7247981

Mmm, Zoanthropes.

Right guys, what shall we make? :3

>>7247982

Point. Three hours worth of gaunts, followed by one warrior, then repeat?

>>7248005

Make it so

>>7248005
this would be good.

can we raid a food storage facility to increase production rates?

To clarify, I'm generalizing by derivatives. Perhaps a 50/50 split of hormagaunts and termagaunts, and lictors as the warrior species?

... It seems that we're autosaging.

Can I get an archival link?

>>7248035
Harvesting some biomass would be good.

>>7248057

Indeed it would. Send rippers out for the harvest, with orders to return to the hive for consumption and recycling?

>>7248039
50/50 on the gaunts sounds good but we want warriors as well as lictors for the synapse and a bit of ravener tunneling wouldn't go amiss. Perhaps 50/50 on gaunts and 33/33/33 on warriors/lictors/raveners? (The remaining 1% does not exist).

>>7248057
>>7248069
Yeah, definately get the rippers NOMing to help with production.

>>7248071

Agreed. Suggest ranged combat biomorphs on the warriors, preferably deathspitters, to keep them safely out of close combat

I think we really need another rippernest. Sure, it'll delay production of heavy units for the moment, but we don't need them right now- we can have our rippers sweep through civilians no problem. And when we do start encountering significant problems, having more than a single production center will count for a lot.

Still waiting for an archive link, gentlenodes.

This node suggests we send scouts to the previous Demon encounter site and have it do a complete scouting of the area to for any single of any biomass from the psyhic cultists and possibly anything from Chewy.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7245185/

>>7248114
I'm afraid this node lacks the knowledge to accomplish that task.

>>7248090
Deathspitters are awesome, perhaps also give a few barbed stranglers/venom cannons to help with any different resistance we might come across.

>>7248102
That actually does sound like quite a good idea. TMG, how much would making another nest set us back in terms of time, biomass and 'nids that could be doing other stuff?

>>7248136

Thank you kindly, sir.

Go ahead and keep planning strategy if you like, I should have part XI up later tonight.

>>7248141

Having your current Rippernest spawn a secondary one would take 12 hours, during which it could produce...

360 rippers OR
48 gaunts OR
4 warriors.

Well my fellow nodes, this was an awesome thread and with this a bid a fond farewell, until later.

We should make squads of actual warriors, not other lictors or what have you because we need the Synapse for when we're off doing something else.

In fact we should make a warrior brood first THEN start shitting out termigaunts and hormagaunts.

>>7248182
Damn, that's quite a kick in the balls. Two nests would wtfbbqpwn face hard, though. We can wait 12 hours, right guys?

>>7248191
actually that sounds like a good idea.

>>7248203

I support waiting as well. Two breeder nests would really help.

>>7248203
Yes, we can wait.

>>7248319
>>7248355
Alright then, I guess we produce a second nest. What should we do in the meantime, though? Just get more biomass?

>>7248355
>>7248319
What shall we do mean while?

We lead our army of rippers against the middle hive, cutting a huge swathe through the civilian population as we hybridize them or devour them for biomass to make more rippers. Also, we figure out what the Patriarch is up to, and figure out if there are orbital defenses or something that we could hijack/mind-control into being used against that battle-barge and whatever other naval forces are in orbit.

>>7248395
Do we want to expose ourselves that much, though? Surely we should contact the Patriarch first to see when we'll get more 'nids coming?

I like the idea of contacting the Patriarch and seeing if there's a way to fuck with the Battle Barge

>>7248443

Contact the patriarch with a messenger to let him know what the fuck just happened re: JustAsPlanned, see if he can do something about the battle barge.

>>7248443
What are we exposing ourselves to? The cults have been disposed of, the Inquisition was eaten, and the police forces aren't exactly heavy hitters. The Shadow of the Warp is upon the world; no information is getting out. They'll probably start sending PDFs at us, but psychic camorippers against PDF? We'll shred them.

>>7248519
You're right, time to send out the rippers and fuck shit up.
