The foul Tyranid Swarms consume entire systems as you read this. The Necrons rise again to begin their great harvest. One by one, worlds fall to the choking, corrupting grip of the Warp.
I bring a white flag. I bet Chaos will probably win the conflict, and it'll at least survive it. So I'll just surrender to some Daemons (hopefully Slaanesh ones)
The combined Nerd Rage of the entire internet, focussed into some kind of death ray. The savage break-downs of the enemy's fluff inconsistencies alone will win the day.
Zweischneid, I have never seen you post anything that isn't aggressive or condescending, but if I should take you seriously for a second or two I'd say that even the a real Codex would make absolutely no difference. It's still a book (if a bit heavier this time) and a lasgun would be of more use.

Is it? If you were to defend the galaxy from inter-planetary war and invasion, the collected wisdom of someone who has succeeded in galaxy-wide warfare before seems far more useful to me than any single weapon, no matter how weak or powerful.
You find my posts condescending? Well, you would'a been spared the irony by avoiding the obviously condescending, trollish and purposful misreading of taking the "Codex Astartes" as literally a book used to swat things, rather than its content of 10.000 years of military strategems collected by ALL loyalist Space Marines. I just took this intentional slander and ran with it.
A super-massive black hole, sure I'll probably be taken down with it, but If I can crush the entire galaxy into a single point in space-time of infinite density then I think it count's as a win...

Since when is "Codex GK" or "Space Wolf Codex" the Codex Astartes? Additionally, how will the collective knowledge as dictated by Guilliman help you as a weapon when you don't have men to command? It's just you and no one else.

Recruitment and creation of Space Marines is the first (and arguably core) part of the Codex. One of the main reasons for its writing, more so than the tactical and strategic guidance, was to curb the "corrupting" practices of Space Marine creation practiced during the Heresy. If you have the Codex Astartes, you have the knowledge to create Space Marines.
Codex Astartes was my answer (3th or 4th post). With your previous post with, quote: " should I take you seriously for a second or two I'd say that even the a real Codex would make absolutely no difference", seemed to imply that you were similarly arguing on that level and quite purposfully included my response in your previous smear. Don't backpedal now.

...and yet there were two others posting in the thread which chose the codex route as well, but they wanted the GK codex or a Matt Ward codex, and it never occurred to you that it might be those I was originally commenting on?
In a not too recent Game of Thrones episode Cercei brought 4 knights to threaten Little Finger, for all his knowledge, contacts, and money, she made it quite clear to him that if she didn't call the knights off after telling them to kill him he'd been dead. It is in this situation, the Lannister knights are coming and all your friends are gone, choose a weapon to fight them with, and you take a book?
See where I'm going Dr Evil-style "Riiiiiight"?
I didn't even take my own weapon of choice seriously, so why should I make an exception for yours? In fact, now you've made me do so, and this is the last I will reply to you.
I honestly feel that there's a little too much bad blood here. :/ I'd really rather prefer if you two shut this down. You chose a gun, he chose a book. That's enough.

The question wasn't what to bring to a fight. The question was what to bring to defend the galaxy. A rifle will kill you some guys. It stops there. The GoT example isn't so bad either. The knights and swords woulda killed littlefinger. The knowledge he hinted at (false heirs to the throne born of incest) is the very knowledge that drives the first two books or so and is the very reason there's a "game of thrones" in the first place, why "King Joeffrey" isn't sitting too comfortably on the throne. There is a difference in what it takes to fight a fight, and what it takes to fight a war.
And if you intended to respond to those that said "a GK codex"; you made the conscious move from "in-universe" to our side of reality where books are books and Tyranids are 5" plastic toys before I ever did. If that is the case, I don't understand what aggravated you in my response in the first place.
What under all in the emperors power and everything that is not could save?
(Necron costume and join them ) Id bring a power weapon that I can use in one hand and a bolt gun. Its not worth raking a heavy weapon when probably an individual will be fighting other, lesser things.
Shokk Attack Gun with a slight modification. I'd modify it so it shoots out the combined overpoweredness of all of Mat Ward's codices plus the weaponized force of internet rage incited by that same name. It's like Exterminatus on a galactic level, but with enough Orky randomness to be funny when we all die.

You don't know what your dealing with with all that in a gun...
XV9 armoured suit with fusion cascades and a phased Ion Gun...No one could touch me since I'd be flying...I think I'd take a shield generator and some shield drones too...just fly away and destroy everything with my god-like fire power.
As normal infantry, I'd bring a power sword and a plasma pistol, just seems the most powerful choice. Maybe a wrist mounted melta on one hand and a wrist mounted flamer on the other. Basically makes you able to kill anything, firing those three weapons a turn and then assaulting with an awesome sword...

However, I'd have to bring Iron Maiden and Edforce 1. We'll rock them to death.
If you can't cut them, stab them, shoot them, chop them, hack them, slice them, dice them, blow them limb from limb or poison them, you can always BURN 'EM INSTEAD!
I'd enslave the Emperor The Remaining Ctan and Khorne then fly about in the world engine and set my new "pets" on people. Oh and the Hive Mind could be nice I'll go add that to my Christmas Wishlist.
Kvothe the Arcane for his ability to come up with exceptionally cunning plans, Commander Shepard for his ability to defy impossible odds with a single squad, post-KotOR1 Revan for his ability to slaughter anything that gets in his way, Elim Garak to back up Kvothe in the cunning plan department and be the comic sidekick, the starship Defiant for it's generally oversized powerplant/weaponry and cloaking device, and an assorted team of particularly badass Marines/Stormtroopers/Jedi to supply the muscle to back up these brilliant leaders.

So many Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy references
FOOL all of you there is only one thing in this world that can stop and invasion of that magnitude, something so powerful the necrons would shut down at the sight of it, the nids would run in fear of it all would bow down before my might, behold the bringer of your destruction...../b/
I'm still going with the SDF-1. If there's anything, in the history of sci-fi, that's capable of pulling a ridiculous underdog win out of its thruster exhaust, it's that damn ship.
My Manta, full of terminators. It would be able to hold more than 100 of them, since it can transport a little over 200 infantry, and termies take two spaces...

Ok, tyranids and Necrons.
First I would feed the squat home world to the Nids, cause that would probably give them a lethal case of hemophilia. Then I would hire Jeff Goldblume to fly a captured Night scyth to the Necrons home station and take them out with a virus he wrote on the way with his iPhone. Humanity saved?

I bring the instant win button and the warhammer 40k codex collection and show it to the imperium then I hit the instant win button. Which calls down unlimited supply of myself with power armor and super human strength and an armada of 50 billion ships filled with only me. Then hundreds of warlord titans per a captial ship. Then hundreds of thousands of just copied me special forces super humans with lascannons as hand held pistols. and dreadnoughts Dreadnoughts Dreadnoughts everywhere!

Simple. A house with infinite food ,water ,gaming mates and internet. And enough armies for everyone and the house cannot be destroyed or entered by the crons,tyranids and we are immortal endless fun gaming ensues.
Oh and cameras everywhere so we can follow the endless war bvetween the 2 forces and we can just laugh while drinking tons of coke.
I would bring that little furry guy Gizmo from the the Gremlin movies. Feed him after midnight and watch the galaxy become overrun in a new, even more halarious green tide.

No one would dare attack the planet he was on in case he survived and subsequently made up some random unfluffy bullsh*t about what happened which was then printed and distributed to the rest of the galaxy and taken as 'fact'.

Double-barrel shotgun or .22 rifle; I wouldn't know how to use anything else. Shotgun would probably my final choice because I'm guessing it's got fewer moving parts and so would be more reliable and easier to maintain. Not to mention ammunition for it is relatively easy to make.
I'd side with the nids. But for the sake of the hypothetical, I'd bring...
A tag-team of Q and Discord...
or
A team made up of Eva Unit 01, Big O, Nirvash, Gwain, Big Zam, the Dragonzord, and all their respective pilots. (Since others are already bringing the SDF, Wing, and Gurren.)

Nah, look at Jervis for that, sure he buffed the Space Wolves, but look at what he did to the Squats.
