Since Ghazghkull is an ork, he would probably tackle the biggest opponent first (because that's the most fun), allowing both Vect and Abaddon to backstab the swarmlord, himself or both. Whoever of the two is doing the backstabbing would then get backstabbed by the other.

The survivor would then be obliterated by the baneblade that flank-marched out of the single palm tree on the island - CREEEEEEED!

Vect, Always Vect. If he gets into combat, he will lose, but that's not what will happen. Imagining a hunger games scenario Vect will run off and kill the winner.

He will leave a box that says 'Don't eat/smash/crusade on' and when they eat/smash/or crusade on it the gravity held black hole will kill them both.

How about no one because there on an island

The Swarmlord. He is highly psychic and the SitW would disrupt Ghazzy's psychic field and lose what translates to his TT 2++. Them Swarmlord eats him. Vect is simply too weak to take on any of them, eith the Swarmlord almost as fast and his forcefield cutting weapons are good tools vs a Shadowfield.
Abbadon is tough but Swarmlord is tougher. Better fighter (represented by higher WS), stronger (Str), tougher, can take more hits, is just as fast, is psychic, and has SitW to disrupt the Dark Gods' protection somewhat.

Not only that, Swarmlord is smarter than all of them. It has the collected knowledge of the entire Nid race, possibly billions of years of warfare, is deathless itself, and has fought against every major race in the galaxy, and likely those characters through a variety of Synapse creatures and thus would likely know their tactics and strengths and weaknesses well.

I can see it before me:

The Swarmlord sees the mighty Ghazghkull Thrakka advancing, almost rivaling his own strength and size. He hasen't met him personally, but he knows the swarm has met the orks before. He taps into the knowledge of the entire swarm, asking billions of minds about the ork's tactics and counter-tactics to those.

Then, he gets a different answer from every single one of those billions minds, he becomes utterly confused and his head explodes.

Perils of the Waaagh!

According to Labmouse its between the Swarmlord and Abbaddon

The Inquisition because they'd Exterminatus from Orbit to get rid of that many of the Imperium's threats at the same time.

No one sees the infiltrating Emporer Titan

That's because he WAS the island

CREEEEEEEEEEED

Vect and the swarm lord would both leave the island.

Vect would do everything possible to ensure the death of all on the island. Including sacrificing his body. However a haemonculus would resurrect him later. So he gets home safely.

The swarm lord would later be reconstituted by the hive mind. It's happened before and will happen again.

Ghaz would respawn due to the spores in his blood. Of course he wouldn't have he same personality so its technically not him.

Abaddon could be brought back by the dark powers but I'm not sure they would. He has certainly provided a lot of entertainment over the years but he hasn't sworn allegiance to any of them.

The battle would start with the swarm lord engaging with abaddon. Abby likes to lead from the front and doesn't shy away from a challenge. Ghaz would ally himself with abaddon while vect hung back to watch.

Once the swarm lord fell, vect and ghaz would fight against abaddon. Vect and ghaz likely "die" but not before Abby is mortally wounded.

Later ghaz's spores become another ork or 3; while vect laughs during his resurrection.

Wasnt there a thread where somebody explained how abbadon will always take your hq's lunch? (Unless you are an Olord with MSS)

Ghazzkull wins cuz he be da biggest und da greeniest der is!

and dat he got a 2+ inv save.

It's linked further up in the post. However that thread assumes its a one on one battle. And even the swarm lord would own Abby.

This tread is describing a 4 way, which is an altogether different situation. You would have fighters allying with each other to take down another.

Abby would need help against the swarm lord but be would be seriously wounded when it was done. That makes it a bit more likely that someone else would cleanup. So if we want to be true to fluff it would mean Neither Abby nor ghaz would sit back. They would charge right in. Vect, on the other hand, lets others do his work. The only thing that makes sense is that ghaz and Abby take on the swarm lord. Vect would then either take on a single survivor or work with one against the other. Possibly even changing sides mid fight to make sure both are dry much wounded. However If either landed a hit or two on vect he would go poof.

If the SL beats the Abby /ghaz combo then nothing else matters as both SL and Vect would respawn.

Does this island have a jungle? I imagine the swarmlord going all jurassic park and stomping around the forest, chasing the others down while they ride a jeep.

It depends on a number of things. Such as how much time do they have until the Imperium finds out and Exterminatus' them all?

No one could respawn though if the Swarmlord devours their body/spores.

For once, a fun thread on dakka

Who walks off?

The Inquisitor who just ordered Exterminatus.

Yay... I win!!!

OK. after giving it some thought.
Nobody walks off.
Vect jumps on his Dais and takes off through a Webway Portal. Ghazzy sees this and immediately gives chase running after him.
Meanwhile the Swarmlord and Abaddon duke it out with the Swarmlord laying Abaddon low before succumbing to his wounds. The Dark Gods whisk Abaddon away as he is needed to be at full strength for the 14th Crusade. Meanwhile, Hive Fleet Behemmoth starts making a new Swarmlord who will win next time.

No one. No one can breathe underwater.

Ghazghul because feth!

This should have been made a Poll. My bet is on a Callidus assassin infiltrating the island. And dispatching them all one by one.

Actually it would be the Vindicare assassin on the next island over sipping a piña colada and catching some rays.

If this is a clash of the titans, why are Lysander, Draigo, Eldrad, CREEEEEEEED , that one space wolf guy thats kind of ok to and Trazyn not on this isand?

Eldrad can't make it, he still stuck in that Fortress.

Because Trazyn and Draigo are LAME!! and Eldrad is busy somewhere else doing Eldar stuff, and Creed is busy buying cigars.

This.
Also Shadows of the Warp doest do squat to the ork psychic field, if it did the zzzap kanon or the Shokk Attakk gun wouldnt work and they do. Now i have seen the Swarmlord go toe to toe with Ghazzy, Ghazzy wins, 2+ Invuln with a power claw is very hard to beat, especially when you've been charged

In my experience the Swarmlord beats Ghazghkull one on one in 6th edition.

Depends on what powers he gets, really.

If he gets a nasty combo and gets them to go off Ghaz really doesn't last that long, unfortunately...
