All have a good chance, but the Tyranids are pretty bad at allies. I think Vect talks Abaddon and Ghaz into an alliance against the tyranid, then they duke it out among themself. Swarmlord loses. Abaddon and Ghaz are both incredibly tough - they want to fight each other instead of lowly pantyhose eldar scum so they krump Vect first. Vect down. And as much as Abaddon is the "chosen one" even he can't stand up to Ghaz in the end. Ghaz gets to go home.

Not to mention 10000 years of warring under his belt. But then again he has failed 13 crusades out of the warp?

No, he is the 40k equivalent to Sylvester Stallone.

Chuck Norris is the 40K equivalent of Chuck Norris.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I think the Swarmlord would eat Vect first, he can't keep making all his saves forever. And Abaddon would tear up Thraka after the first round of magic invul saves, but probably only with 1 or 2 wounds left afterwards.

If Swarmy had some lash whip Guards with him, then Abaddon would be screwed, especially if Swarmy got Iron Arm! But he'd put up a good fight.

Vect.

He planned to be there all along, and a webway portal opens for him to leave as most of Commoragh flies through to nuke the island...

Failing that Ghazzy, because Badass.

In game: Swarmy wins. Re-rolling passed invulons vs his PE Ap. 2 ID attacks, of which he can have a lot, is nasty. Vect dies almost instantly. Abbadon does wounds, but loses out, and Ghazzy makes it a round before getting slapped around. If he rolls Warp Speed and Endurance, its game over for the other chumps.

Fluff wise: Not Vect. He would get owned pretty fast sorry. Ghazzy would likely be slain by Abby or Swarmlord, but Abbadon Swarmlord is pretty tough. On the one hand, Swarmy did make Calgar his personal beotch, but I imagine Abbadon's patronage makes him more powerful than Calgar by a reasonable margin.

It's a trick question, none of them can walk off the island because it's a fugging island.

You kind of missed the 'i pull out abox with a button on it' thing Vect is fond of.

On his tod, with no backup, yes he would get owned hard. But when is he ever on his tod?

Also it would depend on the size of the island. If it was 30 ft across it would be messy fast, but if it's a mile or so...

Vect. He ducks out at the first opportunity, hides, and bides his time until the moment to strike down the last warrior reveals itself. The other races are too intellectually stunted to enjoy manipulating diplomatically and no one, not the most respected enemy, deserves a fair fight. Fair fights are for the deceased. Vect plays to win.

Abaddon doesn't understand ambush and manipulation?! Really?

Yes, the Swarmlord definitely wouldn't answer a challenge by sending 10 Carnifexes in that direction. Oh wait...

To be fair, he doesn't have 10,000 years of experience. The Eye of Terror has unusual effects on the passage of time. He might not actually have much more battle experience than a venerable Chapter Master.

Does Swarmlord have Iron Arm? If he does, he takes on the other three at the same time and wins.

Eldar are long lived... Vect could be even older then Abby. But 1v1 Abby wins but Vect would never play fair. Nor would Abby though but Vect takes tyranny and cunning to a whole new level.

Tabletop though I dunno. Oddly enough I -own- both models but have never fielded them their points costs were always too intimidating to me.
