Oh trust me, Fluttershy, you’re going to be seeing ALOT more of them very soon

If she were a psyker she would’ve lost all sanity a long time ago from the Hive Mind’s shadow looming over her

@Solitude 
Use Lings to eliminate Nids.

@FanOfMostEverything  

You know Tyranids are scary looking as fuck and Fluttershy is a coward, but she wasn’t just scared, she was absolutely horrified despite not knowing jack shit about Tyranids. What else is instantly horrified of Tyrnaids?  
Fluttershy is best Psyker.

The baneblade was hidden under the thrones.
 
The inkwell is where he has the stormbolter emplaced.

Sombra should have been a Hive Tyrant or a Swarmlord. The fandom would not have even dared to hate him if he was either of those.

@Background Pony  
Pfft. Creed wouldn’t need to drive the Baneblade into the throne room. He would’ve parked it in Celestia’s inkwell.

@Blissey1  
Only figured that out myself a short while ago.

@Solitude  
oh hey, I didn’t know we could do mouseover text on images here!

“I see I have to send a message myself,” Celestia mused as she passed the letter over to her sister. The Imperium of Man might think that ponies were xenos as well, but they understood each other well enough that any imperial assistance would prioritize killing the tyranid swarm over the rest of her world.
 
Voicing the words she wrote, Celestia said, “My dear Lord Castellan, it has come to my~~” but no more.
 
For the room began to rumble, and the royal thrones began to shudder, the marble floor they stood upon cracking widely. The nobles screamed in terror and fled, while the guards scanned the room for an obvious source to this aberration ~~ Discord and his uglier cousins, however, were nowhere to be found. The princesses stood and spread their wings, aiming to keep their balance as this impossible quaking worsened, but stayed their places on their thrones.
 
Finally, the source of the shaking appeared as the edifice that the thrones rested upon shattered. As the dust cleared, it revealed the barrels and fore end of an Imperial Baneblade, bearing the colors and markings of the 5th Cadian Armoured Regiment. Slowly, the megatank rolled forward, the thrones balancing upon its turret until it rolled to a stop. A hatch, lightly blocked by chunks of marble, popped open, throwing its load off the tank entirely; it sat roughly between but a few feet in front of the thrones, almost as if planned to be there.
 
A heavy-set human male climbed out of the hatch. He faced them, head marked with close-cut hair and wrinkles from age and the stress of command, wearing the signature carapace armor of the Imperial Guard under a high-collared greatcloak. The light smirk on his face on seeing the Princess’ shock was clearly tempered with experience in this kind of thing.
 
“While I appreciate the thought, Princess,” Lord Castellan Ursakar E. Creed said, “I’m already aware of the situation, and have already begun mobilizing my forces. Shall we discuss strategy over tea?”

@Blissey1  
I know. Closest thing I could find. Incidentally, could you hover your mouse over that pic and tell me what you see?

@Solitude  
that’s a zergling, not a nid.

If Fluttershy Stares down a synapse creature, do the other ’nids revert to instinctual behavior, or do they also cower?

If you see one Tyranid there’s ten billion more behind it.

Shortly after.

Well there fucked.
