frying what though? the hive mind isn't this big Tyranid that controls all the rest, its a gestalt conciousness made up of every 'Nid organism.

How can you fry that which you can`t even be sure is there to fry in the first place?

The fluff around the nids is really sketchy, GW didn`t nail it in yet.

i dont even think the emperor is a strong enough psyker to do that
just think of what makes up a hive fleet
thats millions upon millions of organisms
and there has only been several hive fleets to come to our galaxy
just think how many galaxies they have already eaten
and how many nids in the entire race

its been theorised that the 3 Hive Fleets that have so far invaded the Milky Way Galaxy (consisting of BILLIONS of individuals) are nothing more than scout fleets for the Tyranid 'race'.
Even if every Psyker (human or otherwise) combined their power I dont think they could 'burn out' the entire Hive Mind

i doubt they could fizzle a single hive fleet
considering the vast numbers in a single hive fleet
if it was just a matter of psykers zapping them
they wouldnt even be a threat

Yea I agree...I had no idea they were that numerous (billions we know of are just a RECON PATROL????) but if it were that easy for a psyker to kill off a fleet Im sure it would have been tried already......

Why not just burn them with Promethium it works doesnt it?

I reckon we should use a psyker enhanced Inferno casplasm gun and make them go casplasm.

BUT on a serious note if the Hive mind could be understood i think it could be controlled.

Lawl, Petey, Starship Troopers philosophy.. ^.^
There are too many Tyranids for it to work. It's quite hard to compremend how many there actually are. Think....... 100,000 hive fleets for each galaxy conquered... I think that'd be about the numbers.

when it comes to Tyranids...well the orks are the most populous race in this galaxy but if you got all the tyranids together I can imagine they'd outnumber the orks millions to one (might even be UNDERestimating it)

the one thing that must be addressed is the fact that psykers are manipulating the warp. and tyrnids aren't even from the same galaxy as us, and to my fluff knowledge are damn near immune to the warp. so i would rationalize that any form of psyker attack would be rendered useless anyway.

the warp isn't the counterpart to THIS galaxy its a separate dimension to this universe, so the tyranids will have encountered it before.

read the second ultramarine book. they halt an entire hive fleet by injecting trhe norn queen with a chemical that makes it mutate to death, somehow.... basically the whole thing gowes in to overdrive and it breaks its own spine.but there we go. all you would ned would be a fairly stable tyranid not likely to mutate ie the norn queen. take the norn queens DNA and inject the mutatey solution in to the bigass mofo that would go above the norn queen and then the whole race goes kaput. failing that, fix bayonets, switch on power fists, go to the toilet, put on your power armour, howl and charge!!!!!!!!!!
FOR RUSS!!!!!!!!
ps pete is realy random. and some of the stuff is really random particularly in games against me involving vortexes of any form..... maily grenades. vortex of doom on myself was funny in space hulk.....

ah but that was just a splinter fleet with only the 1 Norn Queen, what would happen if you encountered a large fleet with lots of Norn Queens? not liely going to effect all that many tyranids when theres another Queen to take over.

Also I'm not sure if there is anything above a Norn Queen, doubt theres a big beasty that controls the tyranid race like the Emperor does humans.

well the norn queens must be fairly stable as their mutation would be entirely useless so their DNA would basically be the same as the original tyranid beastie, so they could be used to inject in to the giant beastie.
