Warhammer 40k fused with Star Wars

Actully Jedi in power armour? Wouldn't Librarians count as that? They are pretty much space marine psykers after all.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

By the influence of Kyle Katarn and his infallible facial hair the Imperium of Man would no longer display rank by large ornate hats, but outstanding beards!

Also the Ewoks would defeat all the Chaos Marines with sticks and stones.

I think the thing about star wars blaster being plasma based may be wrong, only wikipedia clams that, most other sources say they are a light based particle weapon. which would put them on par with a las rifle.

Still a bunch of marines running around with light sabres would be funny. Seeing as how lightsabres are meant to be plasma blades and space marines are armoured in ceramic plates, You know like the tiles they put on the space shuttle to protect it from burning up during entry. It would be one flashy nerf fight with the marines swatting at each other harmlessly with little glowing sticks.
You know thinking about it I might actually pay to go see that.
You could have them making girlie screams and acting like its a pillow fight, while the jedi is off in the corner not taking part, just in case he brakes a nail or something

There are plasma weapons in 40K that are hot enough to burn through Space Marine armour. Also, aren't lightsabers some sort of solid light, and not plasma?

That said, a slap-fight between Space Marines is a hilarious image.

OT: the merging would be really strange; it would be neat to see Gothic-style Jedi running around in power armour, devastating worlds that may be hiding Sith.

The Imperium would force the Empire to join them or be destroyed. Jedi would be burned as heretics and their lightsabers would become butter knives for the Space Wolves. The Death Star would be given to the Guardsmen for use in minor conflicts.

The problem is Star Wars has rules and reality. 40k is a universe where everyone has the power to destroy a planet with a wave of their hand. The Eldar created a damn god because they partied too hard and almost destroyed the Universe. That is 40k's greatest strength and greatest weakness as a story telling mechanism. Anything that you want made, can be made.

I love that definition.

Indeed however that is by no means an exaggeration. Because of their long lives many of the things that Eldar used to gain pleasure from stopped giving them pleasure so they started to try out everything they could. They started doing hedonistic acts that 1 million Caligulas couldn't pull off which resulted in the birth of Slannesh the Chaos god of pleasure.

Yup. A pity too, the chapter in question, the Celestial Lions, were rather outspoken against the harsh methods of the Holy Inquisition. Now they'll never have a chance to see the error of their ways.

Curse those extremely precise and extremely selective ork snipers.

Have to point out, last mention of Celestial Lions was during the Third War for Armageddon, where they did get gutted, when they stormed a gargant production yard, not realising the gargants were operational, and they hadn't commited thier entire chapter, only 4-6 companies if memorey serves. Gargants do not snipe.

Not the Halo arrays. That's the one thing I know of that 40k has yet to match or beat.

OT: Fusing any universe with 40k makes 40k less badass and the other part more badass. It's nigh-upon invariable, because that's the way Games Workshop rolls. If something tops them, they'll put in something that tops that.

However, Warhammer 40,000 doesn't have lightsabers except in Eisenhorn. So, the Imperium would probably like those.

You know if Space Marines used lightsabers they would be chain-lightsabers.

However, they'd all be trained by Stormtroopers for aiming.

Which raises the question: who's the better shot - Orks or Stormtroopers?

Orks. Remember, ork snipers wiped out an entire Space Marine chapter by sniping all their apothecaries. The last one even got hit while he was already back from the mission. That's orky marksmanship for ya.

Yes, Ork marksmanship... let's go with that. >.> <.< Nothing to see here folks, carry on your glorious service in the Emperor's name. Also: never question an Inquisitor. Ever. An Inquisitor carries His Holy authority, questioning that implies heresy.
- The Emperor Protects.

OT: Mixing 40k and anything is like mixing oil and water. 40k doesn't mix very well exactly because of how extreme it is. The Imperium would destroy any humans associating with xenos rather than negotiate with them, in fact they did just this during the Great Crusade, during the "Golden Age". By the year 40,000 they'd be even less inclined to tolerate aliens.

Really?

wow those Orks never end to impress me it seems

It seems No One Expects The Imperial Inquisition.

 

[Jarek Mace]

Warhammer 40k would look petty.
Why?

Kyle Katarns beard, that's goddamn why.

Well. That's not suspicious in any way. Not at all.

Maybe the Imperium would be a little nicer? If so they'd likely be a little bit better off...maybe they'd let the Emperor die? Then he'd either get resurrected and lead humanity on to greatness or just die, leaving us even more thoroughly screwed. Otherwise, eh no real difference, I can't see the Jedi making much of a difference on the battlefield and their tech is inferior generally. Their faster than light travel might be useful though, if it works without using the warp then that would seriously mix things up.

The other way around, if say space marines existed in Star Wars...well they'd kinda mess everything up. I think Jedi/Sith would fare well enough against them (excluding some of the more dangerous ones) but the average trooper? Honestly I'm not even sure their version of heavy weaponry would stop a space marine/bigger Tyranid/necron/anything really...

Star war's brightly lit space opera with 40k's grim darkness where the future is bleak and depressing?

I believe those universes are inherently incompatible tbh. If they meet each other, 40k will swallow star wars due to it being so heretical (how many xenos species? purge them all!) and if they were to fuse together... Well chain lightsabers it is.

I'd honestly be curious to see how jedis fare to chaos temptations and demons were their force sensitivity translated to latent psyker abilities.

You're both right. The Celestial Lions attacked operational gargants due to misleading intelligence courtesy of the inquisition. Celestial Lions got mauled badly, but chapter wasn't dead yet.
And this was one of several disasters courtesy of flukey intel.

Then when they got to back, the aforementioned ork gank happened and the entire celestial lion chapter had to fall back via a tight canyon, from which ork snipers sniped the apothecaries.
Only a handful of celestial marines survived the experience with no surviving apothecaries and no recovered geneseed, leaving the chapter in a doomed situation.

I'm pretty sure both events above are described in the same story, or at least within 2 white dwarves of each other as they are all from the armageddon campaign.

This is not a VS thread it is more like what the hell would happen if a Space Marine had jedi techings and other crazy things like that.

they do.

look up the Grey Knights

 

[Makon]

A Chain Lightsaber...can I drool now?

Honestly, if the two universes actually met, the Space Wolves would probably just call it "Target Practice". Hell, you could throw in Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games to try and even the scales and it still wouldn't make a difference. Well, the Imperium would also perfect it's use of Exterminatus.

Take every droid and clone from the clone war for team star wars. Take one space marine with a heavy bolter and a rhino full of ammo for team 40K. End result 1 slightly bored space marine and a huge pile of carnage.

Take the most bad ass thing you can think of, multiply it by a thousand and add a demonic chainsaw to it. That's Warhammer 40K

That is undoubtedly the best way to put it. Ever. My only question is, do you really think the Marine will need the Heavy Bolter? A simple Bolter and a Chainsword and he'd be pretty happy for awhile. Well, until he ran out of targets that is.
