Numbers are nothing if the nids can't touch the culture.
But considering the history of 40k, I guess they will pull more uber evil BS out by the next ed....

True, the Nids when they consume a planet actually warp most of the material back to some unknown location...sweetThat raises the question of: How Many Tyranids Are There, Anyway? It is entirely possible that what we have seen so far is only the "Recon Assault Group", and the full weight of the Swarm has yet to arrive.

it occasionaly seems that these Culture vrs. ***** treads seem a bit pointless, we've run through almost every world we can think of and no one would seem to be able to stand up to this whacked out universe called the Culture. Is it a serious line of books , or are they whimsy , that conjures up some new uber-tech at every turn ?
Im not dissing the Culture here , Im just curious.

Very good books story-wise. There's way to little uber-tech in my opinion, and they relatively rarely use it. Good characterization, humour, fun, bizarre sex + space opera and a bit of posthumanist anticipation, an explosive mix.Sokar wrote:Is it a serious line of books , or are they whimsy , that conjures up some new uber-tech at every turn ?
