It's ok, he was just making really bad jokes.

Sadly you are right. With our today's rocket technology we would need at least 2 year mission to Mars.
But I am optimist, and I am certain we will see Moon base or even Mars base by the end of this century.
As for artificial gravity technology you are also right, but remember that they find particles faster then light recently so they also might find something interesting in that area to.
I also was looking at "Anchien Aliens" recently ( quite good series ) and I saw the new idea of our scientist: a gyroscope with Mercury in it. And when you start it ( when you set it to spin ) after some time the Mercury create some kind of anti-gravitational field.
But for now all of this is all just speculations and theories

You aren't, but for the sake of comedy, go and try to prove that you're right. If you can't back it up, you're wrong, no matter how much you say you are. Without some sort of proof, you have zero credibility. Not that I accredited your insane ramblings before.

And yes, people that openly ranting about fall of Human race are traitors in my eyes and that's my personal opinion.

Oh what a joyfull news...
And not real part...how do you then explain national affiliation: Terran in my personal I.D?

Your opinion is a tad extreme, but then you're hardly alone on that one. There are a lot of ideological extremists out there, many of them heavily armed..

Yo have a right to freedom of speech an expression, but then so do we

As long as you don't go buy a pistol and start commisaring us all ...


I see your national affiliation as Terran as being a deep seated and subconcious rejection of your status as a 21st century human from Earth, couples with an obsessive/compulsive delusion that you are in fact a citizen of a non existent race, from another planet, in a universe other than this one.

In short you divorcing yourself from the real 'Humanity' in favour of an artificial and internal world in your head constructed by a gaming company

Whoa guys, settle your kettles. I think I'll now add tau to my list of annoying factions for inspiring this discussion.

Anyways, the more I learn about the AdMech, the more I dislike them. IIRC they purposefully discourage innovation of technology, preferring to only use old technology they rediscover. Lame. If the AdMech would allow technological innovation, perhaps the IoM would be running riot, not struggling to hold everything together.

Why Tau?

And Mechanicus have some religious issue with them, that can't be helped. Imperium is a very...strange place. It is still whole when it has so many starter point to brake apart. Mechanicus being one of them.

Well if they happened to do the whole "men of iron" thing again they would likely not survive the ordeal...nor would anything else in the galaxy.

Talking about Tau in general always leads to this kind of debate.

The Necrons will probably avoid Tyranids as well. They will gain nothing from them as Tyranids have no souls, and do not feel pain.

And from my experience (Which isn't much), the Tau battlesuits look far too sensible to be Anime.

The Tau. I hate the tau. When I started in 3rd Tau didn't exist. It was wonderful.

Then the Tau came in. With their peace love and happiness, Cow feet, Japanese suit fetish and their non-existent noses.

The Necrons are at their best against tyranids. Even when they destroy tyranids structures, pain is felt. Also, they would not be in much danger against the tyranids.

What the C'tan feed on are not souls, but a purely physiological source of energy, they devour the matter and feed off the electric currents running through the bodies of mortals, or something like that. Forget the wording.

But this means that the C'tan can indeed feed on Tyranids.

Fair point. However, Tyranids CAN benefit from attacking Necrons. Tyranids will literally consume EVERYTHING on a planet, even rocks and metals (see the Pyrovore entry in the Tyranid Codex). It is even possible that digesting the metal of Necrons could potentially do...something.

Get them to eat the crazy C'tan! It'd be funny.

The new changes to Necron fluff show how Necrons HATE tyranids.

Also, i think I remember that i fluff the necrons are terrifying to the tyranids, because tyranids can't absorb them, the necrons just teleport away and self-repair.

The smallest scrap of Necrodermis can phase out.

Exactly. It does so at an atomic level. So unless nids have alchemical stomach acid

would even an alchemical acid help?

You would literally have to split the atom to stop a phase out.

Well the general premise of alchemy, if I understand correctly, is moving the electrons/protons/neutrons around so that one element becomes another.

Lulz, imagine being back where the necrons phase out to waiting for a group of 'crons to appear from some fight. Now imagine that said 'crons are half way digested by the tyranids who were eating them. Now you have to clean up the mess, nasty

Edited for spelling

Really? Threadcromancy for an edit?

I can be very obsessive compulsive at times, yes

Newcrons annoy me the most. Their fluff is mostly Mat Ward trying to make them sound like the best faction, so they have no flavor at all, and as if that wasn't bad enough, it seems that they will be the GKs of 6th edition, what with the major buffs to glancing, rapid fire, and shooting in general.

Orks, they don't make me laughs, their whole ''we think it, it works'' schtink is annoying as hell and the funny talk is just a pain in the behind to read.

The faction that annoys me most are the whiners...
