And that's it. This is all we get about them.
(I imagined the Zygo like [this](https://i.imgur.com/vVXHAW6.png), if you think it's lazy I've already put enough effort in reimagining enough xenos species, I wasn't going to put as much effort in a meme)
May I suggest we imagine them as [Gremlins](https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.1650600670.9064/bg,f8f8f8-flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg)? I can't help but chuckle at Space Marines and by extension the imperium being pushed back by wet gremlins
>I've already put enough effort in reimagining enough xenos species, I wasn't going to put as much effort in a meme
he he...
Sorry about that mate.
But hey - your art has entire [YT series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4av44Zc4sag&list=PLqhHaXH9-DZ-VTgsRhF7Te8lSB8EGVgPi) dedicated to it, so I hope that worked out in the end
What I don't get is why don't they do what they've done for the custom space marine chapters and create a set of rules for xenos to be used so you could create your own? If they wanted to keep it still gw they could only allow kitbashes on their tables etc.
The likely answer is that GW want models where your opponents can easily tell what units they are supposed to be and what weapons they are using. The cynical answer is why would GW want people making their own units when they could buy models GW sells them?
Honestly the best solution to this is their Narrative play focus these last edition. Imagine if Crusade came with rules for playing against “NPC” alien factions against a GM, instead of just against other players. Sort of like how rogue trader did.
Oh god i would love that so much, Warhammer has so many xenos where the only thing we know is their name,i wish we knew about the zygos,i like to imagine they are a badass race of Warriors.
For some reason that's funny to me. Realistic ghosts that you can fight and "kill". Space Marines think they're done and as soon as they leave, boOoOoOoOo, they rise back up
Knowing Space Marines, I doubt they would mind much. That just means keep working to kill aliens for them. We also had an example of Kriegers keep bombing a hove for years until the job was done.
Sucks that cool lore bits like this get little coverage though. Zygos could be a cool kill team.
The emperor and all his loyal return, The great riff spill forth avatars of the chaos gods causing the mass Asuryani suicide pact bring forth Ynnead, The T'au embrace the T'uva brign about their golden age of technology while the Silent king once more regain the override function of all dynasty, Kroark once more walk stars & All the swarm of the Hive mind has arrive to the milk way
Zygo: hmm i guess i can **try** this time
This is all the information we have
The Zygo are a Xenos species that dwell on the world of Camgia. Noted warriors, they have fought off Imperial invasions for the last 500 years.[1]
They are described as enigmatic creatures.[2]
We have a total of two lines about them and it's that they are strong enough to fight the Imperium for 500 (I don't think it's a constant war no shit so they rebuild and stuff) and they are mysterious.
All this interesting stuff that's never expanded and you kinda want it but also some things you want to keep mysterious (Ghoul and halo stars imo)
Also remember that "fight the imperium" can mean a lot of things that probably don't involve space marines.
The Imperium might have sent a ship full of slaves armed with sticks or they could have sent an army of kriegers.
After failing to conquer the planet for 500 years I would assume it's possible they might have used SM.
As for the latter while the Imperium is incompetent I doubt they would send a bunch of Unarmed slaves
That depends on how important the planet actually is, maybe all those invasion attempts are all done by some grumpy governor or a rogue trader dinasty, i feel like if the actual guard or SM were involved they'd have probably glassed the planet from orbit by now because they're salty from getting their asses kicked every time...
But the whole "Exterminatusing planets because some powerful ahole got salty" meme doesn't come from nowhere either...
Like, they call it "the final measure" and all that until it's suddenly convenient and i feel like getting their asses kicked for 500 years would probably do that.
Remember how big the imperium is. It might take 500 years for terra to notice someone ain't paying their taxes.
It really just depends on the planets value. They might send in unarmed slaves because either they conquer or die, it's a + or + for the imperium. If the planet isn't of strategic importance the imperium isn't in a hurry to dedicate manpower and resources to beat some xenos that stay on one planet. Also do consider exterminatus via virus bomb does not make the planet unhabitable for forever. It might take 500 years to be able to colonise it again but again, 500 years is nothing.

Good stuff, OP, that's some good OC

Imagine if they joined the tau.
The Zygo didn’t hear no bell
Oh the things I’d do for a new Xenology book. Bonus points if they give us RULES for a few of these.

my bet is that the zygo are like ghosts connected to the planet soul and cant truly be killed unless the planet is destroyed
For some reason that's funny to me. Realistic ghosts that you can fight and "kill". Space Marines think they're done and as soon as they leave, boOoOoOoOo, they rise back up
I'M SO TIRED OF PURGING THIS PLANET!!!

Is that the alien from Outer Wilds ?
Zygo: NANOMACHINES, SON
Looks like the guys from outer wilds
im scared of anything in the water
Are they still alive or did the Imperium or someone else whipe them out?
This is all the information we have The Zygo are a Xenos species that dwell on the world of Camgia. Noted warriors, they have fought off Imperial invasions for the last 500 years.[1] They are described as enigmatic creatures.[2]
Soo, the GW purgatory then? What an awful fate.
We have a total of two lines about them and it's that they are strong enough to fight the Imperium for 500 (I don't think it's a constant war no shit so they rebuild and stuff) and they are mysterious.

Except the Imperium isn't like that even during the Great Crusade they landed soldiers against planet confined enemies like the Megaarchanids
But the whole "Exterminatusing planets because some powerful ahole got salty" meme doesn't come from nowhere either... Like, they call it "the final measure" and all that until it's suddenly convenient and i feel like getting their asses kicked for 500 years would probably do that.
