Da Red Gobbo's Last Stand
Tyranids and Genestealer Cults
Stories with substantial Tyranid or Genestealer Cult involvement. The Scythes of the Emperor’s battles on Miral Prime belong to the Kraken invasion; independent wars and cult stories do not form a single cycle. On Prome, Genestealers are the substantial hidden enemy in an Ork story; this entry does not assert a named hive fleet or a separate shared campaign. Iron Watch is a separate defence of the Grendl Stars after the Rift. The hunt for one Lictor on O’Tash’Var has its own event with an unknown era; a Lictor does not establish Genestealer Cult or named hive-fleet participation. Mystas has a separate invasion-and-medical-aftermath event; the protagonists’ connection to Blood of Iax does not transfer Tyranids into its Ork war. The invasion of Regium belongs to the Fourth Tyrannic War and has its own event; a shared hive fleet does not make it a sequel to every earlier campaign.
