Subject: [Poll]Ghazgkull Mag Uruk Thraka vs Imotekh the Stormlord
Imotekh's codex entry states that only enemies without logic can defeat him, like the Orks. So, who would win? The greatest Ork in history, or the Stormlord?

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Actually, I wasn't going for one-on-one, more of Waaagh! vs Necron Invasion. One thing's for sure, the carnage would be reminiscent of the ancient War in Heaven.

In terms of generalship Ghazghkull is probably the easiest ork to defeat for Imotekh, as he is at least is following some kind of great scale plan. If he tries to defeat even a single warband by laying his well-planned traps like he is described in fluff, he is setting himself for utter defeat. Orks can only defeatet by brute force, not by mind games and traps.
So while he might know what's coming, he can't really do anything about it.
In close combat, Thrakka would stomp him flat, period.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

Even being able to see Ghaz's plans several moves ahead (or several thousand) won't help you much when the plan includes turning you into a tinfoil squig Curry container.

Remember that time ghazzy took the 1st cpt of the dark angels and in a one on one fight almost beat him to death in front of his honor guard? I think imohtek should stay FAR away from ghazzy XD

See? It works both ways.

Imotekh might be able to outwit Ghazgkull's strategies and tactics, but there's always the backup plan: charge the enemy with lots of dakka and choppas and bury them in a green wave. Imotekh might be able to 'just as planned' Ghazgkull and sip his tea, only to drop the teacup as the horizon and battlefield turn green beneath an ocean of Orks.

Orks have logic, just not the kind of logic Imotekh is able to use.
