Warhammer 40k fluff thread VI: They see me Ward'en, they haten

[Winterwind]

I thought the genestealers were the earliest recorded Hive Fleet splinter (post retcon anyway)? Earliest encounter of them was M35 according to the Lexicanum, unless the new novel predates that appearance.

Aren't creatures like Catachan Devils and Fenris Kraken supposedly descended from Tyranids, showing that single displaced Hive Fleet splinters may have reached our galaxy even earlier than that?


Haven't read Last Ditch yet; I'm not even through Emperor's Finest. Been too busy painting minis to read lately, which I guess isn't the worst thing for a Warhammer enthusiast.
