In the wide galaxy of the 41st millennium, we all know that eventually one race is going to triumph over all others and dominate the galaxy, or destroy it, eat it, whatever. But which race would it be?
Personally I think it would either be the resilient, brutal soulless Necrons. They have unknown (But massive) amounts of near invincible soldiers that slowly stride over the battlefield, obliterating anything in their path with harsh energy weaponry.
Or maybe if the relentless green tide were to unite and overwhelm any army with fierce determination and a hateful lust for war.
And lastly, most obviously, the Tyranids. Unlimited swarms of creatures that know nothing but "feed", gaining power and a tactical knowledge through bloody victories or destructive losses, slowly eating their way through the galaxy, meeting no real match on their neverending feast.

What do you think?

I didn't vote because you don't have an option saying "No one will because GW won't advance the storyline."

There's already three similar threads on the first two pages of this forum.

No one will come out on top. things will stagnate into the stasis and hopelessness of the grimdark. And frankly, I like it that way.

We all know GW will keep the storyline as a stalemate so they can continue to make sales.

But there doesn't have to be any fighting, we can peacefully work all this out. Just put down your weapons and allow the nearest Genestealer to give you a hug and welcome you into the family

The Hive Mind loves you!

GW is already on top of a pile of money.

The latest codex is always "on Top" to keep GW "on Top" of their pile of money.

There are definitely already a lot of threads on this. Thats perfectly fine though because it lets anyone change their vote if they wanted to.

I couldnt agree more with this. Its more about the struggle than who will/might topple mankind from galactic dominion.

It will be the Deamons who will win because they just keep coming out of the warp.

In the way of money and having a tabletop game with no end to continue that flow of money. Yes things will only stagnate and everyone will fight each other forever. However in the way of fluff, someone has to win eventually. Though there is no real way to know who will win.

Necrons, because they can't die, Tyranids can't gain biomass from eating Living Metal, they have the technology to close the galaxy off from the warp, the Dragon is (speculatively) sitting right on top of the imperium, the Tau's technology is inferior, the Eldar are too few and too weak, the Dark Eldar having nothing to gain from warring against the Necrons and the Orks are not united enough to destroy them.

Of course, that's just my opinion, which is fairly biased because I love the little Terminators.

THE IMPERIUM!
For HUMANITY!
Apart from that deep love for humanity that we all should have I say that the Tyranids would win.
