Dont want to be pedantic but didnt Commoragh get invaded by loads of space marines who just wondered into the webway?

Maybe my Nid Codex is missing pages, but no. The did not consume a single Tau-planet. All they managed was destroy a single orbital relay station. As an entire Hive Fleet. Thats it. End of story. After that, they walked from defeat to defeat. The Necrons that the Nids "accidentially wakend" (and who right-away outnumbered the Nids btw) did more damage to the Tau than the Nids.

"The Kel'shan Ethereal council ordered the evacuation of the colony worlds between Ka'mais and Kel'shan. The evacuation fleet from one of these worlds, Ho'sarn, was ambushed by Gorgon and slaughtered."

"Gorgon, on its way to Kel'shan, consumed the Roksh system, home of the Rokshashi Wealthweb merchant guilds. Several Tau trading fleets in the system and a secret Tau listening post on Roksh XVI were also devoured."

"Gorgon, after it devoured the worlds inhabited by several Tau trading partners, launched its first attack on the Tau Empire "

"Supreme Admiral Kor'O'Vanan deemed the situation on Sha'draig irretrievable and ordered a withdrawal. Vorcah's tactic was successful and eventually drove Gorgon from Sha'draig, but not before it had been almost completely consumed by Ripper swarms."

Sounds to me more than one orbital station, poor Tau and not to mention one world slaughter by the Necrons after Gorgon awoken them...

And I wonder why Tau won in the end: "Now faced with a common enemy, Crask and Valroth agreed to a truce and together their fleets turned on Gorgon, destroying close to all of its bio-ships. The Tyranids were unable to adapt quickly enough to the disparate nature of the Tau and Imperial Guard forces combined, and at the Battle of Worldspine Ridge in 500903.M41 the last Dominatrix and Hive Tyrant were slain and Hive Fleet Gorgon came to an end."

Because we Humans KICK ASS!!!

The way I see, if the Tau win, then all the races (besides Orks, Necrons, chaos, and Tyranids) join their empire and live.

And by live I mean periodically rebel.
In the happy brightness of the future, their is only peace. Except the humans. Always trying to bring back the grimdark.

What's wrong with happybright?

Peace is for losers

The fact that recruiting Chaos, The Necrons and Tyranids is literally impossible.

Not to mention Orks
Or Dark Eldar

There are possible ways to "recruit" the Orks and Dark Eldar.

Orks live only to fight, not to sit around and be happy all day.
Dark Eldar, well... dark, fetish, porn society - go figure...

The Chaos gods will win. I was going to go with Nids...but they probably won't do well going into the Warp. The Chaos gods will destroy the Nids after the Nids have eaten the rest of the universe.

Whose saying that's what Orks will do? Maybe The Tau will find a way to simply point them in the right direction.
Dark Eldar are also a race simply out to survive, The Tau could provide.

Lots of squishy blue bodies to play with

Guys, I found you lack of faith in Humanity disturbing.

however are superior warp tech should save us-we just sit there and wait till all the sh!t dies down... after all 1 of our basic hellsreach battle stations will imiolate an imperial segmentum battle fleet.
therse no way your pathetic attacks will harm us seeing as we`ve got nearly 300 of these. and our entire systems filled with hidden military bases. the entirety of a tyranid hive fleet will struggle to get past the system rim. if khantonians wernt there though ide say tyranids though. theyll swarm you.

Random crap you made up doesn't count.

A agree with him. This is question regarding the fluff, not wild imagination. In my Imagination, one Guard Regiment from Belgradia have 3.000.000 Guardsman.
Try to wipe out several those Regiments if you can...

So 300 Stations which could destroy 300 segmentum battle fleets? but you still have some trouble with zombies? Ha

The Zombies were flying bigger stations

Too be honest I think the Khantonians should be on the poll. But Im a bit confused with the entire system filled with hidden military bases.
Sort of like loads of bunkers painted green to match the grass or something?

But If the Khantonians are in it, surely my home made fluff should be in it. Loosely based on this -

Some of the stations actually became zombies, so they were left at an impasse.

Chaos goes poof after the sentient races die or become incoruptable

Ignoring the zombies and back to who Should win:

The Imperium.


- If Chaos wins: everyone a puppet for crazed warp entities to play with... Not really a positive outcome for the dwellers of the material realm.

- If the tyranids win: everyone is eaten. A cold dead galaxy as a result. Without a chance to restart. Just NO.

- If the Darkest of space elfs win: again a bad thing, maybe worse than the chaos victory..

- if orks win: orks believe they always win, so wouldn't try hard enough to really win.

- If Eldar win: flower picking space elfs all around! The rest would be Better off as nid food.

- If Tau win: Tau winning?

- If Necrons win: Depends on their upcoming codex. The last one could have a chance at a restart after the Harvesting, changes may lead to a different outcome. Seems the old fluff wouldn't end the cycle of life and thus they are viable as winners.

- If the IoM wins: MORE SURVIVORS; Winning may become a possibility at the original vision of the Emperor. Maybe even with him returned to active duty. Those who oppose the rule of mankind would begone. Those who accept may find his mercy.

Interesting point! Would that really be worse than the Chaos victory? You at least know what to expect from the Dark Eldar... they will either torture you to death, or torture you until they get bored and a Haemonculus turns you into some mindless thrall.

With Chaos, Tzeench would probably turn your hands, feet and face into scrotums, complete with appropriate nerve endings. Then Khorne would force you and all your friends to fight to the death using your new scrotal appendages. Once they get tired of that, you get tossed to Slaanesh who <censored by order of the Inquisition>, until you finally end up in Nurgle's clutches and he uses you as a loofah.

From the begetting of daemons, Our Emperor, deliver us...

Orks, then no one would win cause they'd kill themselfs

We already know what would happen is the Eldar won, and since we wouldn't want galactic trade to flourish, the imperium hitting another golden age of advancement and enlightenment nor would we want the Ork infestation to be reduced to a nuisance - let's hope the Eldar do not win. Especially now that they know that indulgence is not a healthy thing for them.

Actually I hope that Space Wolves(not IoM) win, why you may ask. Because a galaxy ran by drunk vikings and Leeroy Jenkins sounds like a hilarious idea.

War over.

Necrons would for 4 reasons:

1. they controlled the galaxy before but went into stasis so their "cattle" could repopulate the galaxy

2. they never are destroyed, they are phased back into their tombs to be rebuilt and sent out to kill again

3. what we see currently is only a small portion of the full necron empire, many planets beyond imperium explored space have yet to be awakened

4. the C'tan are Gods, what other race has gods fighting for them?
