Has it ever been mentioned what is in the other 40k galaxies?
Have the tyranids already devoured everything?

Long, long time ago in the old, old lore it was stated that Adeptus Mechanicus launched a satellite or something to all those galaxies far far away. There were signals alright. Most of them belonged to orks.
Holy kino
it would be kinda funny if most of the universe would be full of nice things, but the IoM coincidently only probed and interacted with the bad planets
Obviously the 40k galaxy is the cosmic australia
It was their longest distance probe, and the results are as you said, but they never said it reached another galaxy, let alone galaxies.
It isn’t that old, it was in the 5th edition ork codex which is only
>over ten years ago
Shit
I've read it back in 2nd or 1st, actually. Never knew it was repeated in 5th.
Here, I've found it.
Well, you are kinda right. I mean, it doesn't outright state that it reached the other galaxies.
But it doesn't outright state the opposite either. And this bit does make it sound that the probe made it really, really far away.
I mean, 14000 years. It is definitely beyond Milky Way at this point, And it still sends signals.
If it is not outright in another galaxy, it might as well pick up signals from other galaxies, IMO.
14k is nothing, you have not yet grasped how slow non-ftl travel really is, unless this vessel can travel the warp?
Is there a psyker in there?
Does a hive fleet have FTL travel? Because if they don't there's no way they'd threaten anything but a single system before getting stuck in the slow lane between solar systems.
Hive fleet FTL is strange. There's a specific type of bio-ship that somehow uses the gravity of the target system to... compress space? Create something like a wormhole? Enable local space to be altered a la an Alcubierre Drive? Nobody knows. Whatever it is, it goes through realspace FTL, it's slower than travel through the Warp but less dangerous, and it's powerful enough it can properly fuck up the destination.
>Does a hive fleet have FTL travel?
Yes, they have specialized bioships that can travel faster than light by bending space-time, but strong gravitational fields fuck with it, so they cannot use it for in-system travel, and even so, it is still much slower than Warp travel, since it took their scout fleets about 10k years to arrive in the Milky Way from the point the beacon that called them in was activated
Why would they bother with a non-FTL probe in M27? Why would they consider any part of the Milky Way to be "the utmost limit of the universe" millennia after the navigator gene let humans populate most of it?
because it's a setting written by very stupid people with no sense or scale or any scientific or historical knowledge, created to sell plastic toy soldiers to manchildren
I wonder why people feel the need to repeat this mantra in every WH40K thread.
Probably because that's a bot, given that it didn't actually understand the context of the post it was responding to.
I've grasped it alright, but, as you have saud it yourself, this is 40K. Psykers were likely abscent in M27, but, perhaps, that was the fabled era of tech, so said probe might be a total wunderwaffle, considering it still fucking works.
Yeah it's all Orks and 'nids.
You know waht it is: It's all Ohio
Either way, I think other galaxies were meant for players to create their own stuff, like it was with pretty much everything else in early WH40K.
isn't there some law about the war of heavens having been multi galaxy thing? or did spacebattles lied to me?
It's lolspacebattles, but I always liked this short story.

The Tyranids ate everything within a reasonable distance (intergalactically speaking) of the Milky Way. Beyond that, we don’t really know. Chaos isn’t there, not as it would be understood by the Milky Way inhabitants, but beyond that nobody knows.
man, i hope out of all of that i'm the main character and i'm worth something - worst is knowing you're just another person here.
The universe of 40K is infinite so there’s probably endless galaxies that are fine or don’t have any lovecraftian horrors running around, but the Nids imply that things aren’t Sunshine and rainbows out there. Odds are that the Nids have eaten everything in the surrounding galaxies which is still just a blip on the cosmic radar even crazy warp shit doesn’t exist past the Milky Way and especially in the dead zones between galaxies
they only really mentioned them in passing and for the most part their fate is usually one of the following
>overrun with nids
>overrun with orks
>overrun with chaos
Steamy gay sex.
wasn't the implication that the Tyranids were running from something?
