There are a lot of scary things in the Warhammer 40K universe. Perhaps there are too many, so many to understand why someone sleeps with a Bolter under their arm. We have seen impressive things thanks to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, from the cherubs to the imposing Emperor Titan. Very good, well Saber Interactive has announced a new horror.
You have to admit that Tyranids are scary. And if they don’t, then you don’t know them well. However, Space Marine 2 has set out to elevate our fear to terror with the addition of a new creature: the Hierophant, also known as Tyranicus Giganticus. This is a biotitan that is even larger than the Bile Titans from Helldivers 2.
On the battlefield it looks like a skyscraper full of spikes, tentacles and symbiote weapons. The Hierophant is the largest Tyranid assault organism known, and its size is comparable to that of the Machine Gods of the Titanic Legions. […] It is armed with powerful bio-cannons, claws, and multiple razor-sharp blades. The Hierophant is armored by a thick chitinous shell that constantly exudes poisonous spores. […]
Which causes them to vomit a shower of corrosive worm-like organisms. These venomous, highly acidic creatures impact the target, oozing and splashing bio-acids and poisons that easily melt plasteel, flesh and bone in a matter of seconds, reducing the unfortunate victim to a bubbling, smoking pile.
The Empire’s data reveals that its threat level is Extreme, having an average height of 15 meters and typically weighing 53 tons. It is the equivalent of the Warhound-class Imperial Titans. And the worst thing is not its size, armor or weapons, but its own tyranid nature: it can adapt and mutate in real time to develop new weapons, defenses and even strains of poisons. Even if you manage to kill it, its corpse will continue to do damage by releasing poisonous gases and liquids that it stores inside.
What does the Empire advise?via Wikihammer) to fight a biotitan like the Hierophant? Excessive firepower, from huge bombs to any artillery piece available. The simplest thing is an orbital bombardment of biblical proportions. And this, dear brothers and sisters, is what Saber Interactive will introduce in Space Marine 2 before the end of 2024. I’m afraid of 2025…
