Who Will Rule The Universe?

[adamwelton]

That sounded a bit sarcastic TT. Come on, is this a forum or what?

[Constantin Valdor]

I agree with carnogaunt to be honest. I think the only race gaining anything technologically is the T'au. Sure we thought numbers would outdo anything, but sufficiently advanced technology should be enough for anything. i.e. atom bomb, Japan spent all its time creating an army that would fight to the death, even throwing themselves under tanks with bombs. America was looking at a terrible slaughter, for both sides, but the atom bomb destroyed all the conventional methods of warfare.

I reckon the tau are just commies who can actually feed their people, and will let others join them. The only threat i think to the tau are chaos infiltrating them, but i doubt the ethereals could let that happen.

And crons can be destroyed, or at least practically. There was an episode of WD which had something about destroying the tomb world, and all the crons were wiped out. i guess the Tau could easily do that.

Also, megatons isn't that much. Do you have any idea how much power is in an H-bomb?

[Trygon]

I wasn't be sarcastic, my confused little friend.

[adamwelton]

Ooh, thanks mate. Glad to see someone has the brain they were born with. Shame you're not 150 miles closer. I'd offer you a pint.

[Trygon]

Oh well, I think I am accounted for already.

[n00b1n8R]

i may be wrong, but is there even 150 miles (a mile is like..3Km right?) in england? if not then he couldn't BE 150 miles closer.

and you only 16. tsk tsk tsk

chaos will be dead long before they can kill the pylons on cadia. if there is cron tech there, then there's likely to be crons them selves there to. and crons would be able to go into the eye and give chaos a serious whooping (and unlike the crons, they are not likley to get back up... mb the deamon princes but not asides from that)

crons and nids but nids will be the true victor. and the tau aren't going to get that tech that fast they may get abit closer but they will not get that tech. full stop.

[Trygon]

I am 15...but you can be 15+ to get drunk in Britain! HAR HAR HAR!

[shadowdragonswarm]

Don't forget that if the 'nids consume the chaos marines, they wont have anyone to open the eye even more......

carnogaunt:
That macragge was the first and weakest hivefleet, and don't forget the Tyranids are always evolving, they might suffer a loss here and there, but then they'd pick up on tau tactics, come up with better organisms/weapon symbiotes, and since they replenish themselves by eating their dead, unlike the tau, they'll virtually never lose their numbers.

[romorini]

Can the Necrons even go into the Eye of Terror safely?

[shadowdragonswarm]

The way I hear it, the Eye of Terror isn't like an "insta death zone", it's just an area where deamons have vastly more influence over things like the laws of physics, so if they want, they can "alter reality" to suit their needs, which is why trying to crusade their is virtual suicide.

So, yes, I would say the Necrons can get there safely, but once they're there, the deamons will use their influence of reality to screw them.

I wonder if you have any idea how much power a H-bomb has. The Russian Tsar Bomba was the bigest bomb yet and it was 50 megaton.
Most h-bombs of today arent even close to 1 megaton though.

[ravinglictor]

If you're gonna duke it out with H-Bombs this thread should be more of a question of "Who will rule ( what's left of ) the Universe".

@ n00b - A mile is 1.6kms, unless you're talking nautical miles then it's 1.85kms.

[n00b1n8R]

hmm... i seem to wrong alot about these things...

scratch that, i'm never wrong i was mistaken
n00b out

[Trygon]

The Imperium uses Exterminatus to simply destroy entire planets. You can simply throw megatons out the window with the bombs they use.

you seem to be a fan of the tau ey carnogaunt?

Meh. I like them more than the Imperium. I have nothing against humans, but they have some serious problems with their society in the 41st millenium.

Tau haven't got a clue what they're really doing (the "greater good"? What's that all about then?).

They are trying to unify the galaxy by bringing all races under the command of their Ethereal caste.

Biomass is used for the creation of Tyranids, but it is also essential to feed the existing ones. Every Tyranid that is kept alive by the hive fleet drains its supply of biomass. In order to keep creating new Tyranids, they need to consume local biomass because eating the dead only provides the energy needed to sustain the other Tyranids, with little to no surplus. So by simply denying casualties and/or impeding the rapid plant growth caused by Tyranid spores, the Tyranids could be stopped.
