Everyone who is thinking of really painful or slow deaths is kind of straying away from the target. The idea was most brutal death, not necessarily most painful. Sure, being tortured by DE for weeks is really painful, but is it really as brutal as a chainsword? I think brutal deaths should be probably quicker and, well more visually grand if you see what I mean.

With that in mind, I'd say getting crushed by a Bloodthirster's axe in CC. It's quick, but that's alot of blood and guts flying around in the air.

Being squished isn't that bad really; there are worse things wich last longer and are much mor uncomfortable

Your soul being tortured by daemons for eternity...anyone?

Being captured by a Haemonculus and at his "experimental" mercy

Could be worse if you get one teleport inside your terminator armour and starts ripping you to sheds. Would be like getting set on by an angry cat but with no way to stop it....unless you start beating yourself with a power fist.

Being thrown into a Tyranid reclamation pool while still alive.

As Much as I hate em, definitly a shokk attack gun, having a gretchin war[ed inside you to rip you apart is just brutal

Being on the wrong end of a Death Or Glory attack against a Land Raider.

Something in a John Blanche drawing. Anything drawn that horrifically has to be painful.

The Most Interesting Commissar in the Galaxy and his bottle of Dos Aquillas. Nothing more needs to be said...

yeah. I gotta go with Nurgle on this one because you'd die a horrible, slow, agonizing death just so that you can be brought back to life by "grandfather Nurgle" to be killed by a bolter round.

Horribly slow isn't exactly brutal...

Try telling that to a Dark Eldar experiment.

true.

Your balls slowy and painfully mutating into demons then eating you from the bottom up, with no way to stop them. They would also take centuries to do it, putting you in excruciating pain.

actually, you do boil away.

as pressure decreases, so too does the boiling point of any liquid. when pressure is reduced to zero, the liquid will instantly turn into a gas.


Look up the Bends, officially called Decompression Sickness, a condition divers can get.

it happens when, at high pressure, gases which at Sea Level are gasses become dissolved in your blood and internal organs. If a diver returns to the surface, and lower pressure, too quickly the gases can form bubbles in your blood stream. this is a potentially lethal problem.

Whilst the bends and similar effects would occur due to the change in pressure, these are hardly an issue seeing as your lifespan is measured in minutes at best. You wouldn't boil, simply because space is too cold. There have been experiments done on humans and other organisms in vacuums, and one incident of accidental, unprotected exposure to a vacuum and the humans survived just fine, the only limiting factor was oxygen really. Other issues are things like sunburn and the bends, but they're minor when oxygen isn't present.

Link to NASA page on the issue.

Painful-Anthing with DE

, yeah that would be pretty bad, although it would be a close call between being killed by a Fire Warrior in CC, or by a grot at whatever.

Speaking of which... well, simply put, Termi with Twin Lightning claws gets owned... in CC... by a firewarrior.

Oh my god is that video serious, Ninja Tau ,what happened to WS 2

Thats just, excuse the word, slowed.

The sword didn't even go in deep enough. a Terminators actual skull is much further back. the sword would simply have just broken some of the interior mechanisims.


and Tau are NOT ninjas dispite the obvious Japanese influence. they are I2 people, 2!!! a human moves faster then that.

I have no idea why people are taking this even a tad seriously.

Jaws of the war wolf against my avatar and rolled a 6.

The fluff for the Talos says that it picks up its target and starts halving it until it's down to flakes basically, I'd say that.
Or that missile off the Jetfighter that explodes in a circular disk several feet off the ground and cuts everything in half that it touches.

That's not that brutal.

Being melta'ed just sounds dead awful. I would hate to be turned into a slag of i dont know what

Failing a DoG

Being killed by Aun'Va. You'd die so slowly and ineffecitvely, whilst suffering as much humiliation as possible in the process. Your comrades look on, unable to decide whether to mourn your death, or laugh at how it happened, as Aun'Va prods you with whatever he has to hand at that moment in time.

That definitely beat dying at the hands of ninja tau.

The threads about the most brutal way to die, not the most humiliating(i'll make a thread for it )

Slanneshi/DE anything....Chainsword i would imagine would be quick if not send someone into an numb shock, i don't care to find out though.
