Warhammer 40k vs starwars... is there any possible way for SW to win?

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

They're only arguably alive, like GLaDOS, I won't get into the details but it probably explains on Wikipedia. But the Tyrannids, on the other hand are -without a doubt- the perfect life form.

also, no one considered the Imperium deploying the Sisters of Battle. Saint Celestine vs vader. 2 secs later vaders head is hanging on the Ardent Blade. vader would be chopped in half before he even considered the situation. also, Celestine is Immortal. even if she was chopped in half, she would rise up, whole again moments later. meaning Celestine could purge the entire SW universe. tho it would take a cursed long time.

true. then Necs are the ultimate artificial life form. which can swiss-cheese a Death star in seconds.


oh, and sorry to say it, i know nothing about Glados except shes a robot and the final boss of Portal.

Many 40k capital ships could do that, if allowed to deploy main armaments, which in fairness is easier said than done for some of them.

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

But not for Tau or Space MArine ships, they just have the main armaments where they belong. On the front. I have to wonder though, Kroot Warsphere vs. Deathstar? That would be fun to watch.

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

But she's always got sisters backing her up, and they're all crazy! Nothing hurts more than an immortal leading a bunch of crazy people.

Many people seem to under-estimate the power of the force. Vader and Sidious were not the most powerful Sith in the SW universe.

Psykers.

The Power of Chaos alone could destroy the SW Galaxy without so much as a cough. Bloody Hell Khorne could destroy the SW Galaxy by himself.

Yes there are Psykers but are they all stronger all Sith/Jedi. Also most of the powers that I've seen in this topic are destructive. Is that so?

 

[guess who]

If we go by the starwars EU then the question becomes "how well can/do they protect their suns?" If we combine the better logicists of starwars with sun crusher technology we get the posibilty of just showing up destroying a star and the nearby planets and moving on before any other systems know what's going on.

Edit: To clarify the people moving on are not the same people crushing the suns.

ReEdit: Never mind I just re-looked it up and it would survive.

An Alpha plus psyker can destroy entire star systems with a dirty look
a Beta plus psykers can snap a titan in 2 with a flick of his wrist
A Delta plus psyker can turn entire armies against eachother in a fit of blood lust with a mumble from his lips.
Hell the average psyker can still make a jedi implode on himself.

Psykers can do pretty much anything that a Sith/Jedi can do. Its just that the universe theyre in is so violent they tend to be destructive. Player characters in inquisitor get the ability to do anything from boiling another persons blood to telling machines to do what they want, with psychic powers.

Psykers in the fiction can be immensely powerful, indeed there is no upper limit on the power... in theory. The Astronomicon, or psychic lighthouse, of the Imperium, used to navigate in the warp (or hyperspace) uses 10,000 psykers and can be seen across the galaxy. However, the greater the psychic power used, the more likely that it is to garner the attention of the chaos gods... turning the user into a living gateway of awful eldrich abominations.

But all those powers are destructive. All battles aren't won with brute force. Discretion can make all the difference. Also I a Alpha Psyker can destroy an entire system then why do they need that Fortress thingy that can shoot across the galaxy.

They can do the basics like move shit from one planet to another and be a beacon in the warp.

Also, the imperium doesnt trust psykers with too much power (the more power, the more likley they are to be suaded by chaos), there arent that many Alpha plus psykers out there(only 1 has ever been recognized).

Alpha Psykers are VERY rare, and just as likely to turn into a giant eldritch abomination as they are to do anything useful, half the time. The more powerful the Psyker the more dangerous to themselves they are. Blackstone fortresses are somewhat more reliable.

Thats also the reason why they make the psykers wear those goofy lookin hats. too control their cazy powers.

FUN FACT!
The ork psyker (or wyrd boy) doesnt actually use the warp, but the collection of orks (or WAAAAGH). The bigger the WAAAGH, the stronger the wyrd boy, but sometimes, their heads explode because of how much WAAAGH a wyrd boy can handle.

FUN FACT! cont.
All orks are psykers to an extent. Most of the guns/vehicles they make shouldnt logically work, and they dont if any one but an ork is using it, but if the ork beleives it will work, it will. As well, if they beleive that painting something red will make it go faster (Da red ones go fasta!) then it will!

The Warp is the gestalt conciousness of every single sentient creature. All Psykers use the WAAAGH! only Orks call it the WAAAGH!

But with Wyrd boyz it only works if there are a large collection of orks near by. And its not the conciousness of the orks, but the Blood lust and anger they give off acts like an aura for which the wyrd boy channles.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

A Pysker and a Jedi would be evenly matched (see Force Unleashed)

A Super Star Destroyer and the Warhammer 40k Equivilant would be evenly matched- both have shields, heavy batteries, etc etc...

Star Wars has the Deathstars, Inquisitors have Exterminatus measures such as Cyclonic torpedo's.

They're more or less evenly matched. Where Warhammer 40k gets it's advantage.... is the Space Marines (for my argument i'm assuming Empire v Imperium).
