Can't he ghost around through space and time? ("Immune to Natural Law"?)

Or is that just space?

Haha, I can just see the nightbringer getting made to dance around like a little puppet as the borg hold it in a tractor beam

hehe, while i am of the opinion that the Necron would win out against the borg, for many of the reasons above... what i'd really want to see is how the borg react to the Orks! If you cant go anywhere in the galaxy that encompasses the 40k universe, then how would the borg ONLY meet the necrons??


Uber Mek-Boyz FTW!!

/Shrug...could Borg adapt their shields to say...the WarScythe?

If not, then we've finally found a reason to use Pariahs...to kill Borg !!

Twenty Eight of Thirty: We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Gorbog: Wot?

Twenty Eight of Thirty: We will restate: we are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Gorbog: Can you gits even fit a whole squig in dem puny mouths?

Fourteen of Thirty: Query not translated.

*Gorbog procedes to jam a struggling squig into his mouth, and considering the amount of kicking it's doing it's going in at an impressive rate.*

Twenty Eight of Thirty: We are the Borg. We will add your technological distinctiveness to our own. Your biological distinctiveness and culture will be rejected. Resista-

Big Mek Flasgbang: Oi Gorbog! Did yoo see da new Zzapa-blasta oi made?

*Gorbog shakes his head, and the squig jumps out. Flashbang activates the gun, and it blows both of his arms off.*

Fourteen of Thirty: Reclassification of species 394720: species distinctiveness a liability. Do not let them become assimilated. I repeat for emphasis, do not let them become assimilated.

Firaeveus Carron: Our enemies fly in METAL BAWKSES!

Lmao!

Lawl...that made my day.

I’m inclined to think the Necrons would win out in an encounter with the Borg. It’s difficult to compare the two races technologically so I’d say they’re pretty much even. Sure the Borg can adapt but the Necrons can just get right back up.

I think the Necrons have the edge in one surprising area – close combat. I’d say that a basic Necron Warrior and a Borg have comparable stat lines – super strong, super tough, not so quick with the agility. But Wraiths and Flayed Ones would probably murder Borg en-masse. Destroyer Lords would carve a bloody path through dull-witted Borg drones. Tomb Spiders would spend their time munching on Borg cubes and replenish attrition with raw overwhelming swarms of scarabs who would pour over the Borg devouring all biological matter in their wake.

Necrons would win out through boarding actions (boarding actions have been notoriously successful against the Borg in MANY Star trek episodes). In the incredibly unlikely even that the Necrons began to lose they’d just phase out leaving the Borg to scratch their heads and wonder what the heck just happened and why there’s nothing around to assimilate.

If I rember corectly borg have a personal shield that addapts to weapns fire. the only problem I see is them lasting that long against Necron energy, which seems to be limitless, so I could see the Necrons overloading the borg shields. Also they both work with nano tech so I dont think the borg could assimilate the necrons cause thier nano bots would attack the borgs.
